After the break, we’re back with the “dapper white nationalist” Richard Spencer to give us a fashion review of the Capitol insurrection’s attendees.’
Establishment media clearly learned nothing from the events of January 6.
Hollow mea culpas about platforming white supremacists like Richard Spencer are useless.
It’s actively laundering and enabling acceptance of white supremacy.
Guess I should dye my hair blond and pretend to be a “traditionalist and race realist not a racist” so people will invite me on television and take my views seriously.

If you’re interested in the Capitol events, you might want to read up on the sedition / conspiracy case against the Order in 1988.
Reagan’s DOJ was wholly uninterested in prosecuting white supremacist attacks until they started killing cops.
Just may be instructive.
The Order had ties to other white supremacist groups and leaders, including Louis Beam - who pioneered “leaderless resistance,” as well as “Tom Metzger,” who started advocating infiltration of establishments like police, law, and government in the early 1980s.
Ignored history.
This period in American history is forgotten, downplayed, and ignored - when it’s much more influential than you know.
David Duke, for example, of the Third Klan, is the Richard Spencer / alt-right’s predecessor in leveraging “articulateness” and charm for media.
