Alt-left?

[rogerashton]

Apparently there are some people who identify themselves as Alt-left -- and they are part of the alt-right!

Some lessons:

"alt" means white racist. End of story.

These "alt-leftists" are basically Strasserite Nazis, or in other terms, National-Bolshevik or third position NAZIs. Or "beefsteak NAZIs" -- brown on the outside, red on the inside.

There were no alt-leftists resisting the alt-right at Charlottesville, Boston or Phoenix. If there were alt-leftists there, they were marching with the NAZIs and supporting Trump.

To describe Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the Black Bloc, or any other social-justice or egalitarian opposition groups as "alt-left" is not only a slander, it is deception that hides the real alt-left, which is pretty central to Trump's "base."

2. Thanks for this.

No alt left, no alt right.

Nazis, racists, period.

3. So "alt-country" is racist music?

Jesus, don't tell Steve Earle.

7. Yep, and Carol Alt is actually Carol Racist.

I knew she was too pretty to be true.

8. Every time I get in an airplane the pilots are using a racistimeter

to measure the racistitude!

5. I stopped using the "alt left/alt right" terms

It's Bannon's confabulation. Nazis and KKK are Nazis and KKK. There is no equivalence on the left.

So I am back to referring to "the radical left." I don't intend the term to be offensive. Radical is not per we pejoritive.

6. KEEP SAYING IT: ALT LEFT IS NOT A THING!
