Nice post although I think you're working with incomplete information. For instance, I don't know if you've ever talked to people in the alt-right, but they're not quite the caricatures of evil you see presented in the media. It's like like that old sci fi show, Outer Limits, "we control everything you see and hear." Those guys aren't allowed to have a voice, and they're painted as neo-nazis and white supremacists. Although there are neo Nazis and white supremacists and some really hateful people, that's not representative of the entire group. And a lot of what they want isn't really that radical.

As an example, the mainstream media refers to the Proud Boys as a white supremacist group. Their leader is Cuban, their bible written by a black dude, and gays are welcome. Their goals I'm not super familiar with but it seems like your typical conservative values stuff. There is a disconnect between what you are allowed to see and hear, and reality.

And white nationalists are portrayed as nazis but nobody questions Japan should be Japanese, or that any culture should be able to be proud of their culture and heritage and seek to preserve it. Except whitey. That particular brand of systemic racism is celebrated. The cause for that many here would blame on the Jews, but you'e have to talk to someone else about that.

Can i ask you what exactly is the difference?Because if the alt right acknowledges that we got here thanks to post modernism and the rise of liberalism that spawned after the second world war then they'd have a big point that's the reason we got here.However,the last part that you claim is what drives me away from those types.Do not get me wrong,it's fine to criticize people in certain positions even if they are jewish.However,the right loses me whenever they go into crazy conspiracy territory when they legit tell people that everything about history is a lie and every bad thing that happened in the past and today is the jews fault.For example,holocaust denial does nothing to help our cause and you should know that most of those types aren't denying it cause they're generally skeptical of it,they just want to desperately paint hitler as some sort of hero and him starting the war was for the greater good, and paint jews as these evil demonic group.I know a lot of jews and they all have different opinions and can disagree a whole lot.To act like they all are working together is crazy.

holocaust denial

When they say you can't question something that's pretty suspicious in of itself.

Like I said, I really not the person to ask about Jews. Although I would say, these things don't happen for no reason. Israel is the only apartheid state left in the world after all, they're not exactly angels.
