I have identified as alt-right for a couple years now. Originally, the tendency appealed to me, as it seemed to be appropriately concerned with the West, Civilization, and reason, as well as having funny memes. I also came to reject the left, because I had come to see "leftist" and "SJW" as synonymous. It seemed to me that all leftists were concerned with privilege theory and identity politics, hated the West, and often hated civilization itself.
I was wrong.
In the last week, I "googled Murray Bookchin" (as the meme goes), and ended up purchasing a copy of his new collection of essays "The Next Revolution". I was the book, and was stunned. I was not expecting such an accurate critique of identity politics from a leftist of all people, and I was not expecting such a rational philosophical outlook and a passionate defense of the best of the Western philosophical tradition, civilization, or reason.
I feel like I'm falling down the rabbit hole, but at this point I am no longer alt-right. And the more I read from Bookchin, the more and more I like their ideas.
for gods sake do I have to post this everywhere today
Ryan Bell
The civil war in the alt-right is/was literally about whether to keep identity politics.
Grayson Martin
REEEEEEE
It's not even the shilling that annoys me... It's how low quality it is.
Robert Harris
Bookchin is a boring old fag who looked like Ron Jeremy when he was younger. His book on the Spanish Anarchists is OK, but anarchism (or Bookchins 'municipalism') are absolute garbage faggot ideologies that non-losers grow out of in their early 20s.
Ryan Lewis
Fuck off leaf, nobody's gonna read your gayass link without an ingress

Why are you saying this here? Sup Forums isn't alt-right. You want reddit.

Well you got me to post you faggot retard, kill yourself and all that, everyone above me said what I wanted to say because you defeated yourself in the first sentence, you pussy syrup nigger, you goose fucking mongoloid you, this thread is even bad for tree rat, you are the lowest of the low, the leaf at the bottom of the pile, stinky, moist, decomposing, kill yourself.

>I have identified as alt-right for a couple years Wow really? You were way ahead of the curve then given that the term didn't exist until the middle of last year.

Isaiah Davis
cool story /leftypol/, but the fact is that the western socialist movement is to well subverted to be proletarian or libertarian for a long time. you think you can kick out the progressive stack? bitch please, the hippies have infiltrated every facet of the left, and they will never let go of something that makes them feel fashionable and rebel, especial when those dumb uneducated proles will just be raycist with it. you need the altright to starve the parasites off the left before it becomes anything other than a puppet movement for globalism. >BUT MUH NEO LIBRAHLS a modern socialist is just a neoliberal in college. fuck off.

>I have identified as alt-right for a couple of years
this whole meme ideology stank from the beginning to me, look up who coined that phrase, its always been fake, there is no alt-right, and people on the left need to stop propagating this lie, there are no alt-right individuals, there is a man named richard spencer who took the mantle the media gave him of alt-right because he craves money and attention, he then took that mantle and used it to try and destroy true conservatism, he is a moron and fucking cuck, anyone who won't fight back even on camera after being sucker punched is a fucking coward in my eyes, no amount of words he says can convince me that he isn't controlled opposition, a false product served up on an appealing platter perfectly for your media consumption, how convenient, don't you think?

Canadians have such a shit reputation that it's hard to tell when they're shitposting or unironically shilling.

The "alt-right" doesn't exist faggot. You can't be something for years that doesn't exist. Just say you have mental issues and be done with it. It's easier to be accepted as mentally ill than a fag.

Anyone who called themselves alt-right is a literal faggot

I think it's low quality subversion. Wasn't there some leftist redditors that said they were going to "colonize" Sup Forums. That "Google Murray bookchin" """meme""" that he mentioned looks like it comes from commie subreddits.

The term alt-right was but a twinkle in some leftists eye 'a couple years ago'.

Nice blogpost nigger. Also "alt-right" is a recent (albiet as cringy sounding as mgtow) thing. Sup Forums is not one person, you are entitled to your own beliefs just like how I am entitle to call you out on your reddit tier attention whoring bullshit Go get good boy points somewhere else.
Aaron Brooks
I literally did not have a clue who he was and hadn't bothered to look it up. Now that I have I am sorry I spent time on it. I studied ecology and never heard of the guy. He's the kind of person in ecology that gives ecology a bad name, like so many social scientists who care more about creating a grand experiment with no real applied methodology as to why and chance of success vs rewards or any of that.
Noah Hernandez
Not even gonna read cuz leaf but the pic related is probably what the thread is.
Joshua Cook
Yeah, if you actually read his work you would know its a fallacy to reduce ecology to system theory faggot
James Jenkins
Because identity politics is not necessarily a left wing issue, just like pro gun isnt necessarily right wing. There are some known left wingers against it. Even the folks at leftypol say they are against it, however many that say that just say they are not the SJW type and then defend feminists etc.
Nothing is black and white, but it's true that almost all of identity politards are left wingers.
Eli Gutierrez
Why would you identify yourself as anything but a Sup Forumsak?
Bentley Campbell
What part of any of that has to do with me reducing ecology to system theory? It is a fallacy to believe that sound ecological theory can exist without sound system theory and a whole lot of evidence to back it up.
Christian Taylor
Old school commies and lefty socialists are massive fags too. We need to send you to the leaf compost.
Jason Gutierrez

Neck yourself desu. Alt-right fags are all retards. Anyone who calls themselves alt-right is likely a leftist.
Kayden Fisher
This is so obviously shill bait. Glad some of you fuckers can see this for what it is. Oh and no one likes you OP kys
Cameron Turner
Kill yourself, leaf faggot.
Kevin Evans
Read something intelligent like Guenon, Evola, or Codreanu. If you're too lazy listen to a few Bowden speeches.
Realize that the muds don't care about your liberal philosophy, the NAP, or the Constitution.
And stop being a flip flopping idiot. People who go from socialist to libertarian to fascist to ANCAP to communist in a matter of a few months are complete idiots.
Nicholas Sanders
Good on you. I took the real red pill several years ago.
Embracing libertarian socialism is necessary, but depressing as hell. You realize electoral politics has absolutely nothing to offer.

Good for you. Too bad the vast majority of the Left (90%) isnt anything like him. Support for the Left is still support for SJWs, anti-White rhetoric and anti-Western sentiment. A couple of outliers dont mean shit.

You'll be back once you realise that all the abstract western values you hold so high can only be held by a white society. At which point you have no choice but to adopt the identity aspect of politics.
