In this little video male feminist and scourge of Fascism and the misogynist men’s movement, Kevin Logan reports on Alt-Right founder and leader Richard Spencer’s embarrassing lack of funds when he went to get a drink from a bar in America. His card was refused. They sent his receipt for £4.50 back to him with a note saying his bar bill was unpaid with a little note asking him not to come the bar again, because it made the rest of them feel scummy. Also, he should ask him mom to put more money in his account. And he wasn’t to worry about paying the bill, they were just going to put it down to bad money going after a good Nazi.
This is the same Richard Spencer, who saw great things ahead for himself and his storm troopers with the election of Donald Trump. You may remember that gathering in a hotel’s ‘Ronald Reagan Room’, where he stood on a podium in his smart suit, and yelled ‘Hail Trump! Hail our race!’ with an outstretched right arm, which he later claimed was definitely not a Nazi salute.
Clearly things haven’t quite worked out for him since then. You can only hope it’s also happening to his fellow White supremacists.
This is another very revealing video from Kevin Logan, a British male feminist and scourge of the men’s movement and other Fascists. It shows precisely what the Alt Right marchers last month in Charlottesville were really like. They are most definitely not ‘fine people’ as Trump tried to claim were on both sides. They were Nazis.
The video shows them marching with Confederate and Nazi flags, complete with the swastika inside a white circle on a red background. Another marcher wears a swastika badge. They chant ‘You shall not replace us!’, ‘Jews shall not replace us!’ and ‘White lives matter’. They also shout Nazi slogans like ‘Blood and Soil’ and ‘White Power!’ One of them tells a female journalist that his views are dangerous for her. Others tell the media that ‘the town is run by Communist Jews and criminal n***ers. One also sneers at ‘lesbian clergy’, probably referring to the interfaith meeting held in one of the local churches to oppose the march. Amongst the congregation were the Black radical professor and pastor, Cornel West, who stated afterwards that the Nazis tried attacking him and the other people of faith, and it was the antifa who saved them. And the clip shows exactly how violent the Alt Right thugs were, with shots of them fighting and beating their opponents.
The clip concludes with one of the American newsmen saying on his show that Trump tried to heal the nation by saying that they all saluted the same great flag. He states categorically, ‘No. No, we don’t.’ And shows the Nazis and confederate flags they carried.
Kevin Logan is a British male feminist, whose Descent of the Manosphere vlog critically discusses various members of the men’s movement and other parts of the American and British far right, and exposes them for the utterly reprehensible human beings they really are.
In this video, he attacks and criticizes the American alt-right blogger and vlogger, Vox Day. Vox Day is a former newspaper columnist, an SF/Fantasy writer, and the author of a statement of the fundamental principles of the Alt Right. The Alt-Right is a diverse and often contradictory movement, and so there’s considerable disagreement amongst its members on what it actually stands. But Day’s summary of its principles have received the approval of its leading members, including Richard Spencer.
In the video Logan takes the viewer through Day’s ideas and bizarre personality, pointing out his intellectual vanity – he keeps harping on about how high an IQ he has, and how he used to be a nationally syndicated columnist for the tech pages of a paper in Minnesota. He’s also a massive fan of Donald Trump, whom he lauds, without irony, as ‘the God Emperor’, presumably like Leto Atreides, the half-sandworm ruler of the universe in the Dune sequel, God Emperor of Dune. So enamoured is he of Trump, that he also tries to excuse Trump’s comment about sexually assaulting women, trying to tell everyone that it’s ‘alpha (male) talk’, when it isn’t. It’s simply sexual assault.
He then critiques his statement of the principles of the Alt Right. These are basically that it’s a right-wing movement, which is not traditionally Conservative, Libertarian or Neo-Con, which promotes western civilization as derived from Christianity, the European nations and the Graeco-Roman heritage. It states that every nation has the right to their own homeland, free of domination by other groups and that no race is superior to another. But he also strongly rejects free trade, because that also brings with it immigration and diversity. He quotes approvingly the ’14 Words’ – ‘We must secure the existence of the White race and a future for White children’ of the Nazi, David Lane, and is also massively anti-Semitic. He states very clearly that Jews are not members of the American people, and are working against their interests. Day states he is in favour of peaceful repatriation, but shows how peaceful he really is by talking about gunning down immigrant boats and praising the Norwegian mass murderer, Anders Breivik, whom he calls a saint. He tries to defend the Alt-Right as in favour and based on science, but notes that this accompanied by a caveat – except where its conclusion have been altered by democracy – which therefore allows him and his Nazi friends to dismiss global warming and claim that Whites are intellectually superior to Blacks. The Alt-Right also claims to be ‘anti-equalitarian’, which it dismisses as being ‘unicorns and leprechauns’, and also claims to be based on history. States have to be ethnically uniform, as proximity + diversity = war. Although it also claims to be in favour of peace between nations.
Logan shows how the liberal parts of Alt Right ideology are either unviable or contradictory – for example, the statement that each nation has a right to its own homeland doesn’t account for instances where two ethnic groups also claim the same territory, like Zionist Jews and Palestinians. He also states that there are other examples. Indeed, he could have mentioned the Hungarians and Romanians, who both claim Transylvania as the historic cradles of their peoples. He also makes the point that if the Alt Right took seriously their point about each nation having the exclusive right to their own historic homelands, then this would mean that White Americans should return to Europe, as the country they’re currently inhabiting is that of the Amerindians. As would all the European colonists throughout the former British Empire, in Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. The statement that no race is superior to another is a sop to the Alt Right’s battered egos to get them over the fact that so many sports are dominated by Blacks and other non-Whites. In short, the liberal aspects of Alt-Right ideology mask the real White supremacy and Nazism underneath.
As for Day’s attitude to women, he fears and hates educated women to the extent that he defended the Islamist assassin, who shot Malala Yousafzai in the head simply because she was a girl, who wanted to go to school as boys did.
To be fair, Day on his blog describes himself as a ‘cruelty artist’, and I think like Milo Yiannopolis, he’s also a troll who delights in saying the inflammatory and unspeakable simply because he enjoys shocking liberals and leftists. Or simply the majority of decent human beings. But the misogyny is still very real.
The only thing I disagree with here is Logan’s opinion that Christianity isn’t fundamental to western civilization. Logan states that it isn’t, because western civilization pre-dates Christianity, going back to Greece and Rome, and America is a secular country, while in recent centuries western Europe has also moved significantly away from Christianity. This is true. But historically Christianity has formed one of the major influences on European culture. It was through Christian writers and intellectuals that the ancient legacy of classical Greece and Rome was passed on and expanded, and which also mediated influences from other civilisations such as Islam, India and China. American secularism also has its origin in the demands made for religious toleration first articulated during the British Civil War by the Nonconformist sects. Again, there are other influences. Some of the atheist commenters on this blog have pointed to recent works arguing that the first radical democrats in Europe were influenced by Baruch Spinoza. It’s probably true, but that doesn’t mean there also wasn’t an influence from radical Christianity. See the collection of writings from the British civil war published by Penguin Classics as Divine Right and Democracy.
