Speaking of Alt-Right cringe and regrets, I forgot to mention Commander Jeff Schoep, the Nationalist Front and the Hard Right alliance that we maintained after Charlottesville.

In terms of personality, culture, temperament and ideology, this stuff has never appealed to me and I had been critical of it for about 15 years until 2017. I allowed myself to get roped in though due to the tense atmosphere of 2017, NETTR and my friendships with Matt Parrott and Matt Heimbach. I thought at the time that we should focus more on our common enemies than our differences.

I still believe this to a degree. I would define a political enemy as someone who is willing to engage in physical violence against you for political reasons. Antifa are clearly our enemies. Neo-Nazis are on the Right. Libertarians are on the Right. It is not my thing, but I don’t think of them as enemies. I don’t see Neo-Nazis or lolbarts as a threat although do I find them ridiculous at times. We do have real differences.

Anyway, I have long noticed this tendency of the loudest, most extreme forms of White Nationalism to attract the most volatile personality types. It always seems to be these people who end up on MSNBC on shows like “Erasing Hate.” It certainly pays better to be on the other side.
