Your Journey to the Alt-Right.

[luka]

i did a really good interview with my far-right friend Vim years ago where i got him to open up about his personal jounrey to the far right of the political spectrum (all babies are born left wing). he said for him it was discovering the work of 'Nick Land' and realising that, in his own words, "the Right could be cool."

I'd be fascinated to hear about the various red pills and rude awakenings that lay on the road to the right for our alt-right stalwarts such as mixed biscuits, HMG, Gus, comelately and anyone else i'm forgetting.

when did you lose patience with the left. how did you feel when you realised the rhetoric of the right was beginning to resonate with you? did it feel tabboo? exciting? alarming?

i want to know everything.

How long did it take to 'lose patience with the left'...to the nearest minute?

Where's the interview?

 

[luka]

it's on dissensus somewhere. god knows where.

 

[luka]

i don't think Rudewhy is alt-right yet, just pissed off. but i'd be interested to hear from him too.

People will work very hard to show how their position hasnt changed, how they’ve been consistent all along. It’s the world that shifted around them, things went too far, goalposts shifted etc

 

[shiels]

Which is of course partly true

 

[luka]

do you feel drawn right shiels? might you convert?

 

[luka]

they're very coy as a rule, our alt-right cohort. i suppose becasue they feel they are behind enemy lines. but i encourage them to open up and share their stories. this is a place free of judgement.

 

[craner]

I want to read the interview.

 

[luka]

well it took place here, years ago. so it is in the archive somewhere.

 

[luka]

you're not alt-right craner and i know all about the sinister Shapiro and your journey away from the moral certainties of your youth.

 

[craner]

You need to link it as a starting point or this thread will go nowhere.

 

[luka]

i disagree. this thread depends on the sincere and passionate testimonies of our alt-right friends. i know they will open their hearts and share and we will learn a great deal from the expereince.

 

[craner]

They’ll feel more comfortable if they have an example to follow. Like an ice-breaker. You’ll get better results if you just post the interview.

this is always the way, "a neoconservative is a liberal who's been mugged by reality" etc
