Coincidentally to you posting this Spencer (and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) are whinging on Twitter that their blue ticks have been removed.
Did you see this last week where Gary Younge interviewed Spencer? Remarkable.
On a personal journey across white America, writer Gary Younge came face to face with alt-right leader Richard Spencer @Channel4 Thurs 10pm pic.twitter.com/25f0gHWmjO

"Imagine being a heterosexual white male in Britain at this moment. How bad is that. Everything you say is racist, everything you say is homophobic. The Woke community have really f****d this country."
Younges argument seems to be that you don’t know what Africa would be like now if all the blacks that left the continent had stayed there. Is that an argument worth making or should he be linking current events with the culture which allowed slavery in the first place, to show how dangerous it is to dance down this fascist road?

What I’m saying is that younge didn’t really have a counter argument. He should be focusing on the outcomes the likes of spencer expect from their movement and then tear that down.
Arguing some hypothetical argument that Africa would be prosperous now if there had never been any outside influences is distracting.

Thanks Libby, that looks very interesting. I've listened to the first 10 minutes and will listen to the rest this evening.
The comments on this thread have already started to polarise opinion on this topic. There are those that feel that this is an attack on the right by an increasingly permissive society and others who defend what are currently called "progressive" values who are standing up against what they see as intolerance.
Information about the alt-right seems to get all the air time because its supporters are so objectionable to the majority in western society today.
Being a mixed-race European teacher, I identify myself far more with the left than I do with the right - but I don't go for this "alt-right is evil, progressive is good" narrative which I believe is thrust upon us. "Progressive" power is far more soft and is entrenched far more deeply in our society by constant reinforcement by our media. The alt-right recognise this and respond in a very ugly and sickeningly intolerant way.
It's my view that both sides are being played by the same people. We as normal European citizens are being asked to decide which side we are on. The sensible answer is of course easy: we want to be on the side of tolerance, peace and equality, and although that is the view of the overwhelming majority, our society is moving in an increasingly unpeaceful, intolerant and unequal direction. The alt-right will argue that this is because of the left's excessively tolerant and forgiving attitude to real dangers, while the left blame the alt-right.
This game is played out here on this site every day.
I must have posted these types of quotes on this site 10 times in the last 2 years, but it sums up what is happening to our society:

Of course holding such a view puts me in the smallest minority, and rather contradictorily the left will join in with the right in showing intolerance towards me with the standard name calling:

Down will come the troop, mutually appreciating, condoning violence, name checking other posters and following that with a smug insult, the pack mentality burning any comparison of the hard right to the hard Maoist left that is invading Britain's culture under the banner of the once working mans political party.
It must be cathartic to screech about the same splinter under the nail every day, surely it must.
