These ideas are marginal in US political culture so I just don't understand this compulsion to create enemies out a movement that either doesn't exist or presents nothing in the way of a serious political rival. This really should be an opportunity for Americans to step out of their ideological shell. It's a big world out there. Did you know that conservatives the world over have generally despised capitalism?
Maybe that's it, Chris. Obscure bloggers are trying to get their goat. Apparently, they do it with ease.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

To each, their own. As long as it doesn't interfere in my life and rights, have at it.

Slightly off topic but in the OP: what are "Christian Apologetics"?
People who think a movie about plastic dolls is trying to turn their kids gay or trans are now officially known as
Barbie Q’s

I wish it were so, but ROK, though owned by a certain individual, has way more than just one writer and attracts about a million viewers a month. Don't kid yourself: this $#@! is more mainstream than you think. Neither does "Alt-Christianity" appear to originate on the ROK blog.Chris wrote:
I believe it's just one guy, this Return of Kings guy (n8ut, troll).
If one actually endeavors to read that article, one will find that it is a critique of the movement's tactics, not its principles. And yes, ROK is definitely part of the "alt-right" scene. They explicitly embrace its ethno-nationalist and male supremacist guiding principles, the bulk of its leaders, and employ its specialized rhetoric ("snowflakes", "$#@!lords", "globalism", "red pill", etc. etc.) all the time.Return of Kings is not alt-right. He is anti-alt right as evidenced by his posting on his blog articles like 5 SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ALT RIGHT MOVEMENT. Remember one of the leaders of the alt-right movement is gay.
That is exactly what it means.Standing Wolf wrote:
Is this a reference to racial separatism? As in the idea of setting up "Black states" and "White states"? Not sure what else this would be about.

Alternative or "alt" doesn't mean opposite.They see themselves as Christians. They're striking me as salad bar types though that kinda just want the parts that reinforce their preexisting worldview.Hal Jordan wrote:
No, it means alternative. Alternative Christianity is not possible, though, so it is not Christianity.
