Alt-right

"Avoid using the term generically and without definition, because it is not well-known globally and the term may exist primarily as a public relations device to make its supporters’ actual beliefs less clear and more acceptable to a broader audience. In AP stories discussing what the movement says about itself, the term “alt-right” (quotation marks, hyphen and lowercase) may be used in quotes or modified as in the self-described “alt-right” or so-called alt-right."

"The de facto merger between Breitbart and the Trump Campaign represents a landmark achievement for the "Alt-Right." A fringe element has effectively taken over the Republican Party. ... No one should have any illusions about what’s really going on here. The names may have changed… Racists now call themselves "racialists." White supremacists now call themselves "white nationalists." The paranoid fringe now calls itself "alt-right." But the hate burns just as bright. And now Trump is trying to rebrand himself as well."

"At AP, we have taken the position that the term “alt-right” should be avoided because it is meant as a euphemism to disguise racist aims. So use it only when quoting someone or when describing what the movement says about itself. Enclose the term “alt-right” in quotation marks or use phrasing such as the so-called alt-right (no quote marks when using the term so-called) or the self-described “alt-right.”"

"Fascism is able to attract the masses because it makes a demagogic appeal to their most urgent needs and demands. Fascism not only inflames their prejudices that are deeply ingrained in the masses, but also plays on the better sentiments of the masses, on their sense of justice, and sometimes even on their revolutionary traditions."

"[T]he alt-right, a loosely organized white supremacist movement that's most active on the internet."

"Explicit white nationalism is surely the most aggressively marginalized ideology discussed here. As we have seen, advocating racism is perhaps the fastest way for a politician, pundit, or public intellectual to find himself or herself a social pariah. That being the case, there is little chance that transparent white racism will again become a major political force in the United States in the immediate future. However, the fact that antiracists on the right and left are extraordinarily vigilant in their effort to drive racists from public discourse can be viewed as evidence that they believe such views could once again have a large constituency, should racists ever again be allowed to reenter the mainstream public debate. Whether their fears in this regard are justified is impossible to determine at this time. What we should remember, however, is that the marginalization of the racist right in America was largely possible thanks to cooperation from the mainstream conservative movement, which has frequently jettisoned people from its ranks for openly expressing racist views. If the mainstream conservative movement loses its status as the gatekeeper on the right, white nationalism may be among the greatest beneficiaries, though even in this case it will face serious challenges."

"There's no small amount of projection going on here. It's a staple of far-right ideology that liberals play the victim and make up imaginary oppressions, but in reality it's the alt-right that is creating conspiracy theories and spreading lies about how liberals are committing or enabling "white genocide." Sometimes it seems like these folks spend their lives fighting against fictional threats that they themselves invented."

"The alt-right is often dismissed as white supremacist Trump supporters with Twitter accounts, and they are certainly that."

"What's remarkable is how ridiculously confident these men became, in a relatively short time, in their unique philosopher-king-like possession of objective truth and superior analysis... all while copying their arguments from an echo-chamber of poorly cited webcam videos and anonymous internet comments."

"Repeat after me: calling something logic doesn’t make it so. Calling someone rational doesn’t make it so. Opinions from Youtube men are not facts. Getting mad about philosophers you haven’t read isn’t reason. Insulting your girlfriend because she questions your sudden political shift isn’t logic. For a group of people who claim to hate the supposed redefinition of words when it comes to gender and race; for a group of people who are very mad about the postmodern tendency to say nothing means anything (or at least this is an aspect of postmodernism they seem to have gleaned from their favorite subreddits), the new young reactionaries are remarkably devil-may-care about certain words when they seem to lend credibility and strength to their opinions."

"Most of them are childless single men who masturbate to anime. They’re not real political players. These are not people who matter in the overall course of humanity."

"You should have stood up for me. I am a son of your people. I’m one of you. And I’ve expressed a slightly out-of-normal-position political opinion, and you’ve thrown me by the wayside for it. And that is why your system will fail."

"He was fired from Holy Cross immediately after his affiliation with the "alt-right" came to my attention. Prior to his firing, he was successfully using an alternate identity in his work with this atrocious group. As for his potential impact on our girls, I conducted an investigation at the time of his firing and determined there was no reason to think that he negatively influenced any of our girls with his philosophy."

"KLOBUCHAR: Well, there was -- I just noted that just today, a reporting in The Washington Post, that on Monday, a complaint was filed against a member of the Proud Boys in Washington State, where federal prosecutors alleged that, in fact, there were plans made for many different entries into the Capitol, is that correct? WRAY: Yes. There have been a growing number of charges as we continue to build out the investigation. Either individuals who are now starting to get arrested that involved charges more things, like planning and coordination or in some instances individuals who were charged with more simple offenses but now we're superseding as we build out more of an understanding of what people were involved. And there were clearly some individuals involved which I would consider the most dangerous, most serious cases among the group, who did have plans and intentions and some level of coordination. KLOBUCHAR: And I think you've arrested now twenty members of that group or -- is that right? WRAY: I don't know the number off the top of my head. Yes. KLOBUCHAR: Well, so what I was thinking when Senator Graham was talking is that if, and they show up in this complaint with encrypted two-way Chinese radios and military gear, that you must -- there must be moments where you think if we would have known, if we could have infiltrated this group or found out what they were doing, and that -- you have those moments? WRAY: Absolutely. I will tell you, Senator, and this is something I feel passionately about, that any time there is an attack, our standard at the FBI is we aim to bat a thousand, right? And we aim to thwart every attack that is out there. So any time there is an attack, especially one that's this horrific, that strikes right at the heart of our system the government, right at the time of transfer of power is being discussed, you can be darn tooting that we are focused very, very hard on how could we get better sources, better information, better analysis so that we can make sure that something that what happened on January 6th never happens again."

"A member of the far-right Proud Boys texted his F.B.I. handler during the assault"

"Beyond barring the description of the men Rittenhouse shot as “victims,” Schroeder has ruled that prosecutors cannot bring up Rittenhouse’s connections to the Proud Boys, a white nationalist organization that has a history of inciting violence at protests. Schroeder... said that Rittenhouse’s association with the Proud Boys wasn’t relevant to the case — despite the fact that shortly after the fatal shootings last year, Rittenhouse flashed a hate symbol and posed for pictures with the group in a Wisconsin bar."

"I haven’t seen Justice Hans Linde in more than a decade, but I thought of him last Saturday, when I found myself locked in a science museum with frightened parents and children while thugs marched by. Hans was a child in Weimar Germany; I suspect he would have known how I was feeling. The museum was the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, in Portland. The occasion was a rally organized by the , an all-male group that exalts “Western values” and promotes Islamophobia. Other affiliated groups joined in—a loose conglomeration of racists, chauvinists, and just plain thugs. Some of them were connected to the in , two years ago, at which a marcher drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing a woman named . The Proud Boys aren’t from Portland, but they have selected the Rose City as the site for their rallies, threats, and clashes with local “antifa,” or activists. The rally Saturday was nominally to demand that Portland suppress the antifa groups so that the Proud Boys can march unopposed whenever they choose. [...] What has this to do with Hans Linde? Hans was born in 1924 to a prosperous Jewish family in Berlin. He once told me that his first clear memory was of watching from the family apartment while Nazis in brown shirts brawled with Communists on the below. When Jewish life in Germany became untenable, the Lindes relocated to Denmark, and then, by good fortune, obtained U.S. visas. The Lindes settled in Portland; Hans attended Oregon public schools, and then Reed College, in the city’s Eastmoreland neighborhood. He served in the Army, attended law school at UC Berkeley, and began a brilliant career as a U.S. Supreme Court clerk, a Senate aide, a law professor, and finally the greatest justice ever to serve on the Oregon Supreme Court. I came to know Linde because, many years ago, I wrote a profile of him."

"Since the Saturday demonstration, the Proud Boys have announced that they will be back every month until the City suppresses the antifa movement, whom they call “domestic terrorists.” The impudence is striking. The Proud Boys are threatening violence to achieve political change. That is the textbook definition of terrorism. Moreover, even before Charlottesville, domestic terrorism had emerged as a danger from people motivated by the far-right ideology—that is, from the political forces (if not the actual individuals) now demanding that the government crush their enemies so that they can own the streets. Consider a very partial list of horrendous crimes motivated by right-wing racism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism: a mass killing at an African American church in Charleston, South Carolina; pipe bombs sent to public figures who oppose Donald Trump; a massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue; and 20 people—mostly Latino—gunned down at an El Paso Walmart."

"Keep moving towards the Capitol, it appears we are taking the Capitol. Keep marching and don’t relent, never relent. Break down the barriers and disregard the police. This Capitol belongs to us now. Let those politicians know. That’s exactly how it should be. These politicians do not represent us. They betray us and now we are forcibly evicting them from the people’s house. They should live in fear of the American people."

"Our civilization is being dismantled, our people are being genocided, and conservatives can’t think past what will play well with liberal media in the next election. These new “Populists” think just like every other loser Republican that came before."

"If you are a White male zoomer, remember that the people in power hate you and your unborn children and they will try to genocide you in your lifetime."

"What, people calling me gay because I've never had a girlfriend? I think if anything—if anything—it makes me less gay. If anything it makes me not gay. As opposed to less gay. Not that there's any gay, but it makes me not gay."

"If we're really being honest, never having a girlfriend, never having sex with a woman, really makes you more heterosexual, because honestly, dating women is gay. [...] And if you want to know the truth, the only really straight, heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel."

"if we're really being honest, never having a girlfriend, never having sex with a woman, really makes you more heterosexual. Because honestly, dating women is gay. Having sex with women is gay. And having sex with men is gay. And you know, really it's all gay. And if you wanna know the truth, the only really straight heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel."

"Yeah, I mean, I want a family eventually but the problem is like I don't think I'll get the same joy out of a woman that I would with a monkey. Because monkeys are, like, funny, so, I just feel like that would be a better option. I feel like that's gonna be, like, more enjoyable honestly. Because monkeys are like funny and endearing, and women are just kind of like annoying and cringe."

"I have to say that if you are anti-mandate but not anti-vax, you are gay."

"We are not a benign hegemon, this is not a peaceful democracy, this is not what you think it is. This is a malevolent empire, the US regime is a malevolent empire; and behind all the nice words, all the flowery language - about who we are and our democracy - behind all of that is real hard power. Real hard power; and they're willing to back it up: behind all of that is a global conspiracy of the most powerful people in the world, and they control communication; transportation; finance; the currency, and the flow of information. That's what underlies the whole thing, and their advantage - their profit - and their benefit - that's what it's all about. And they can dress it up real nice and talk about "our democracy" and "he's like Churchill" and all this kind of stuff, but its a big protection racket, it is a global criminal syndicate. Make no mistake about it."

"I'm a reactionary [...] I support autocracy."

"I'm a 12th century man. Fuck the UN, and the internet, and democracy [...] You know what democracy has given us? Obesity. Low rates of literacy. It's given us divorce, abortion, gay marriage, liberalism, pornography. That's what democracy has given us. Ghettos and crime and political correctness. Diversity. Yeah, the track record of democracy? Not so good. Catholic autocracy? Pretty strong. Pretty strong record. Catholic monarchy? Catholic monarchy, and just war, and crusades, and inquisitions? Pretty good stuff."

"Our national myth is a lie. Liberal democracy, capitalism, freedom - it's a lie. If it wasn't a lie before, it certainly is after the pandemic, when a government can say that you can't leave your house, you can't enter a restaurant unless you're vaccinated - it's a lie. So, the nation is weak morally, the nation is weak in terms of its patriotism. The leaders are unpopular. The institutions are not trusted, and then what's more, the economy is totally weak."

"White genocide is real. It is occurring now, and it is wrong."

"These people don't just come from nowhere, we can't pretend they got beamed down from outer space and then picked up a gun. They came from this country, just like a lot of other things, big problems in the country. A society that aborts its babies; a society that gives its children away to daycare and nannies to raise them, this society which says that we're on a blue marble floating through space without a rhyme or reason. An atheist secular country and we're surprised that we see evil? It's not a surprise at all, and you can't blame it on the guns, and you can't blame it on Whites this time. You can't blame it on mental illness or institutions - some things are bigger than an act of public policy. We wouldn't need public policy if people didn't want to kill children, but they do. Why? You wouldn't need gun control and mental health institutions and all this - press conferences and the hullabaloo - marches for our lives, if you didn't have people that are 18 years old and want to get a gun and shoot up little babies for no reason. Why is our society producing something like that? Something has gone terribly wrong - the chain has been broken - and now were living through the consequences. And you see it. You see it everywhere, everywhere you look, and you don't have to look very far. You start turning over some rocks and you can see the general societal decay, and the anger and the violence and the barbarism. You see it. It's hell's gate; it's open wide open."

"First and foremost, I am a Christian."

"When I began my career in 2017, [...] I was considered radioactive in the American Right for my White Identitarian, race realist, 'Jewish aware,' counter-Zionist, authoritarian, traditional Catholic views ... In 2023, on almost every count, our previously radioactive views are pounding on the door of the political mainstream."

"Raise your right hand. "I swear my undying allegiance to Nicholas J. Fuentes and the America First movement, so help me God." Raise your hand. Hold it high. "I swear I will defend the white race, my nation America, and my savior Jesus Christ, and my loyalty to the America First movement, Nicholas J. Fuentes, so help me God.""

"Yesterday I got a little sick. I was gonna do a show yesterday and then I just, uh, had a lot of problems. Yesterday I was so congested I couldn't breathe out of my nose at all. Then I took this Afrin nasal spray, and I don't know if it was this or if it was because it was expired. But I took this and it opened up my nose, but then my nose was tingling all night and I was having this terrible, uh, like, nasal drainage, like my nose was running uncontrollably. And I don't know if– I know that's a side-effect of Afrin because I've taken this before and I've had that before. But it was really bad. Like, I couldn't breathe at all yesterday."

"I shoulda never broke that first chair. That was really the beginning of the end of this show. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I already was dealing with enough, then I broke the chair. Now it squeaks every time I move. So really, it's over."

"Oh yeah, so I've been pretty black-pilled lately. That's the other thing. I'm kind of like, you know, maybe we just give up."

"You know what's been my downfall? Jews censoring me. Okay? Arrogance and hatred for my fellow man propel me forward. That's the only thing that keeps me getting out of bed. If it wasn't for arrogance and my hatred for you, I would be in bed all day."

"I can barely contain my true feeling about you. My true animosity and hatred. Utter disdain. I wouldn't describe it any other way other than pure contempt and utter disdain. Distilled hatred. And it's not a joke. It's completely serious. And I can barely hold it in."

"Leave her alone! Get your filthy paws off of her! Get your hands off of her beautiful, supple black skin. Leave her alone! I'll protect you. I'll protect you Candace. The groypers, we got your back. If they try to come around and mess with you, you just give us a call. And no rabbi will put their hands on Candace Owens. Not while I'm around! They're gonna have to go through me first!"

"I'm a manlet. Could I ever be the dictator if I'm under six feet tall? That's the real – You know lately, I'm just like, 'Manlet L'. Lately I'm just like, man, like, it's over. If you're under six feet, it's kind of over isn't it? No, but uh, Hitler wasn't six feet tall. That's what gives me – Hitler, Stalin, that's what gives me a little boost. That's what gets me out of bed in the morning is knowing that even Hitler wasn't six feet tall. So that makes me feel a little bit better."

"I would like to have a kid eventually, but on my terms. I want to have a kid on my terms, which means I need to meet a very special woman who is gonna be okay, she's gonna let me be me. Most women would never let me – Do you know any woman that would want to marry a guy like me? And before you say yes, before you jump and say 'Yes of course, you're handsome, rich, charming, intelligent, funny' before you say yes, think of the downsides okay? I have a nocturnal sleep schedule, I'm awake during the night, I'm asleep during the day, I'm late to everything, I don't give Christmas gifts, I'm moody, temperamental, hot and cold, you know sometimes I have the worst mood ever, sometimes I'm in the best mood ever, I drive like a maniac, my life is crazy, you know, people want to kill me, some people think I'm a cult leader, I hate women, like, so there's a lot of, there's a lot of stuff that comes with that, and so I'm gonna need a special woman who is gonna not cramp my style too much, because I'm a special guy."

"I don't judge. I don't care what they do in their personal lives. As long as they're here to dox hillbillies – look, as long as they are soldiers, look. I don't care how gay they are as long as they're my loyal cult members who give me money and dox hillbillies when I give the command."

"Calling Donald Trump a racist only makes me like him more."
