- [observation, August, 2017] When I first heard of the alt-right a year ago, I thought it simply meant the insurgent right, the politically-incorrect right, the grassroots right, the nationalistic right. But the alt-right has changed into something new, since Trump's election. Now the leading figure - at least in terms of media attention - is Richard Spencer and other white nationalists. By that I mean people whose central organizing political principle is race...There were actually some Nazi swastika flags in Charlottesville. Whether or not they were being genuinely carried, or carried by agents provocateurs trying to embarrass the alt-right isn't even important. They were there. And Spencer's torch-lit walk had other Nazi symbology, including the 'Sieg Heil' arm salute, and the chant of 'blood and soul' - which was a slogan popularized by the Nazis. Sorry, that's not conservative, that's just racist, and I think it's unpatriotic to mimic one of America's greatest historical enemies.
