| Subject: For what it's worth: Is the Alt-Right Really Targeting Libertarians? Fri Mar 22, 2019 9:11 pm | |
| In the world’s climate of division and hatred, the Alt-Right has found its perfect breeding ground. The Alt-Right is the name that various collections of white nationalists, “identitarians” and neo-nazis have given themselves. They are in no way run of the mill conservatives or Republicans. They are radical statists who fetishize the idea of a supremacist government with absolute power. It is the antithesis of libertarianism. Yet, there is a trend that is becoming more and more obvious; the so-called “Libertarian to Alt-Right Pipeline”.
This pipeline observation is by no means a lie. There is a real and disturbing trend of former libertarians becoming Alt-Right. The real question is why it happens, and how we inside and outside of the libertarian ideology can prevent it. How do we recognize the signs of a person becoming indoctrinated? How do we make our own positions more solidified and steadfast? There are two important things to examine when talking about the pipeline. It is the niche-ness of the ideology and the demographics of the ideology.
