To be fair, that sort of meant something else pre 2016 general election"If you want to call me alt-right, that's probably fair" - Ethan

Yeah, Anglin is the biggest optics cuck out there...
True, and he probably could have said "That meant something else in 2016", but we´re dealing with Ralph. He kind of fucked himself with the holocaust denial stream/charity stream lel.
That article was written in 2016 though.
That stream was hilarious. Null sang Moon Man.
That´s my point. He said "you could probably call me alt right" in 2016. He did the holocaust denial stream in 2018. So, saying "alt right meant something different in 2016" won´t wash the alt right stink off him in 2019. He might as well just embrace being called alt right.
Anyone else remember when Tonka tried to own superberries and Donga? Anyone else remember how poorly that worked out?
I think it was more of the stream they did after the synagogue shooting and all those spicy superchats that got them banned. People can tolerate a debate about the holocaust because you can claim an adhearence to free speech. Those same people though are less tolerant and less willing to accept such principles when you're dunking on shooting victims a day or two after.
See I used to think that too, but now I think the meaning was the same then than it is now the problem was you had people who were
I stopped caring for anything Alt-Right related the minute it went from online shitposting to IRL movements. I posted the thing about Anglin before I noticed that he just wrote an article on this exact thing, and I pretty much agree with him. It's more or less the Nick Fuentes take on it, but even then I wouldn't say that any of this stuff should spill out into real life.See I used to think that too, but now I think the meaning was the same then than it is now the problem was you had people who were
A.)Normies/Non channers
B.)A-political people till now
C.)People like Sargon or Milo who have used movements or memes like ones from /pol/ and change the meaning behind them to make money and become e-famous, but then drop it when it becomes to hot.(example: Pepe and Kekistan).
and
D.)A terrible game of telephone
Sure there was always the faction that owns the label now, but it was a wider tent in 2016 for all of the reasons you listed. Alt-right was virtually synonymous with dissident right at the time although more internet savvy people knew better than to give themselves such a broad label because of the very real possibility of this happening.See I used to think that too, but now I think the meaning was the same then than it is now the problem was you had people who were

It was the same thing with gamergate it was originally I want these re.tards to leave my hobby alone to ethics in gaming journalism which was bullshit. In the case of the Alt-Right their ideology was too hot to handle so they were able to sort of take it back, but with the net negative that normies started disavowing and the media has now used it to wrongfully tar and feather anyone who holds right leaning or libertarian values making it so it's a catch all phrase and not a specific ideology with tenants and values even though that is the case.
Edit: So in other news Ralph is no different than the people he criticizes and shouldn't have touched de poopoo.
Dispatch was trying to flag Ralph down last night on air so he kinda gets what he dishes.
Sure, but this statement was made in a different political climate. At the time alt-right wasn't commonly associated with white identity politics, which is probably the point that the gunt deviated from it.
