You are whacked, cools!!! Spencer no doubt, Bannon not so~~~Bannon is a Nationalist tho..
What does Spencer want to come next? A note about definitions here: Spencer is a real, true white nationalist, which means he wants the creation of a whites-only ethnostate somewhere in North America. For that to happen, he wants the United States to break up into smaller states like the Soviet Union did. This is what real white nationalists like Spencer believe, what theyâÂÂre fighting for, and what they want to happen.
So in comparison it seems a little unjust when Steve Bannon is referred to as a white nationalist. âÂÂIâÂÂm not a white nationalist, IâÂÂm a nationalist. IâÂÂm an economic nationalist,â Bannon told The Hollywood Reporter last week, and so far as I know thereâÂÂs no reason to doubt him.
Using a loaded term like âÂÂwhite nationalistâ loosely, as a number of publications didwhen Bannon was appointed TrumpâÂÂs White House strategist, takes away its force, and probably works to the benefit of genuine articles like Spencer. ItâÂÂs hyperbole that helps the real white nationalists, who want you to think theyâÂÂre more powerful and popular than they really are.
But Bannon does have some things to answer for that appeared on Breitbart, the website he ran until he joined the Trump campaign over the summer. In particular, he ought to address a long apologia for the alt right Breitbart published last March, one co-authored by the conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos.
The article, âÂÂAn Establishment ConservativeâÂÂs Guide to the Alt-Right,â states that the alt right is not some kind of racist of white nationalist movement, and then notes SpencerâÂÂs role in it: âÂÂThe media empire of the modern-day alternative right coalesced around Richard Spencer during his editorship of TakiâÂÂs Magazine. In 2010, Spencer founded AlternativeRight.com, which would become a center of alt-right thought.âÂÂ
Curiously, SpencerâÂÂs own white nationalist views go without mention even as Yiannapoulos lauds him as the intellectual godfather of the alt right movement.
ThatâÂÂs because Yiannpoulosâ thesis is that what the alt right does is all in good fun, sophisticated trolling for a noble cause. âÂÂJust as the kids of the 1960s shocked their parents with promiscuity, long hair and rockâÂÂnâÂÂroll, so too do the alt-rightâÂÂs young meme brigades shock older generations with outrageous caricatures, from the Jewish âÂÂShlomo Shekelburgâ to âÂÂRemove Kebab,â an internet in-joke about the Bosnian genocide,â Yiannapoulos wrote.
