My system is pretty simple actually: carve out race / religion / gender / orgasm / ethnicity group identity BS from the national politics / party's / etc.

I see the alt-right as people who do not support the establishment right but who still have conservative values. I believe the majority of the alt-right are libertarian constitutionalists. The minority of white supremacists of the alt-right should be called the alt-white. Bernie supporters should be called the alt-left. & Hillary & traditional DNC Establishment supporters should be called ctrl-left. I see little difference between establishment Republicans & establishment Democrats.
Tribalism is a primitive instinct hardwired into our brains for survival as a whole. Imo, without tribalism there is no such thing as any group. Sports teams wouldn't exist, eliminating certain sports. There would be no cultural differences in music, food, etc.. There would be no businesses or anything produced by a business & no governments, police or law & order. We might get there someday If the transhumanists have their way. "We are Borg. You will be assimilated Resistance is futile".
An Establishment Conservative’s Guide To The Alt-Right
Anything associated as closely with racism and bigotry as the alternative right will inevitably attract real racists and bigots. Calmer members of the alternative right refer darkly to these people as the “1488ers,” and for all their talk of there being “no enemies to the right,” it’s clear from the many conversations we’ve had with alt-righters that many would rather the 1488ers didn’t exist.
These are the people that the alt-right’s opponents wish constituted the entire movement. They’re less concerned with the welfare of their own tribe than their fantasies of destroying others. 1488ers would likely denounce this article as the product of a degenerate homosexual and an ethnic mongrel.
Why “1488”? It’s a reference to two well-known Neo Nazi slogans, the first being the so-called 14 Words: “We Must Secure The Existence Of Our People And A Future For White Children.” The second part of the number, 88, is a reference to the 8th letter of the alphabet – H. Thus, “88” becomes “HH” which becomes “Heil Hitler.”
Not very edifying stuff. But if you want to use the 1488ers to tarnish the entire alt-right, you need to do the same with Islamist killers and Islam and third-wave feminist wackos with the entire history and purpose of feminism. Which you might well be fine with — but let’s be consistent.
Alt-right vlogger Paul “RamZPaul” Ramsey describes them as “LARPers” or Live-Action Role Players: a disparaging comparison to nerdy nostalgists who dress up as medieval warriors. Paul even goes as far as to suggest some in this “toxic mix of kooks and ex-cons” may be there solely to discredit the more reasonable white identitarians.
Every ideology has them. Humourless ideologues who have no lives beyond their political crusade, and live for the destruction of the great. They can be found on Stormfront and other sites, not just joking about the race war, but eagerly planning it. They are known as “Stormfags” by the rest of the internet.
Based on our research we believe this stands in stark contrast with the rest of the alt-right, who focus more on building communities and lifestyles based around their values than plotting violent revolution.
1488ers are the equivalent of the Black Lives Matter supporters who call for the deaths of policemen, or feminists who unironically want to #KillAllMen. Of course, the difference is that while the media pretend the latter are either non-existent, or a tiny extremist minority, they consider 1488ers to constitute the whole of the alt-right.
Those looking for Nazis under the bed can rest assured that they do exist. On the other hand, there’s just not very many of them, no-one really likes them, and they’re unlikely to achieve anything significant in the alt-right.
What little remains of old-school white supremacy and the KKK in America constitutes a tiny, irrelevant contingent with no purchase on public life and no support even from what the media would call the “far-Right.” (Admittedly, these days that includes anyone who votes Republican.)

What an effing war zone this "election" is. Imagine how insane the next "election" will be following the trend the past 20 years...
We need a new system... we need an Alt/Alt.....
linky
And I said it more than once last year, although that might be the first time I had...
Can you seriously deny that "social justice" in practice this decades hasn't played out as PAYBACK? Well you've had your fun. Either stop now or the Alt-Right will inevitably evolve into actual white supremacy. This "oppression" you've been screaming about will become reality. And the persecution will be universal. Peace will become futile.
Science and politics have replaced religion in transmitting our explanations of the world around us and the values we hold as humans in societies.

Hasn't the pendulum swung far enough to left yet? You won't get any argument from me and the chatter I keep hearing is a rising of White identity politics. People are not just angry but are genuinely afraid and this makes for a volatile situation. Frankly, I'm surprised we haven't had more Anders Brevik-types going off the deep end. I think the right has shown enormous restraint in the face of growing hostility and violence.

Start working together instead of against each other. Jesus. It is such a very simple concept.

I completely agree with everything in your post but what do we start working on?
Who gets to decide?
Were that it was so simple.

The only identity that even makes sense in politics is nationality. Yes, that's right, nationalism. Either you're for your nation or you're not, if the only alternative is an appeal to a global open borders and a global government (globalism).

The left around here needs to stop defending them and their atrocities etc at every turn.
For many years we've been seeing a multifaceted of push for "Globalization". During the 2000's I more recall seeing the phrase the "Global Village" lead-in such dialogs. Now in this decade, that term seems more passé, where "Multiculturalism" has taken its place and is 'all' the buzz now one might think.
More or less, the general premise of the above concepts aren't inherently all that bad sounding, not on their surfaces, or in their spirit. A lot of 'all that' is coming naturally following mass transit enhanced migration patterns, and ever exceedingly efficient methods of mass communications. Me, I like exotic. If everybody looked the same, we'd get tired of looking at each other, so the song goes.
Meanwhile, it's critical to understand that before all of that yummy multicultural globalization village stuff there were The Globalists, and their motives have nothing to do with all of that touchy feely gushy stuff we might perceive to be inherently in all that 'global villagery' globalization agenda. Instead, it's more about an increasing push towards a multinational corporation + world central banker design of global dominance via the authority of a world government.
This general agenda has been going on for something like a 100 years now, following the gradual collapse of Colonialism. Globalism better understood as "Neocolonialism" than any of those other concepts (which are generally spoken with overtones of openness & kindness). Do note that Colonialism was navy enhanced imperialism, which enabled global empire building, and constitutes one of the darkest annals of human history. Since the advent of mass communications 100 years ago, brute force imperialism of old is a mostly hopeless endeavor, whereas since the fall of the Nazi's & Imperial Japan it's only been acceptably possible via the sneaky Cold War, further reduced following that leaving only this notion of the American Empire being the "Benevolent Empire". All of which enabled solely by mass scale propaganda (via mass communications). Even that push for imperialism is mostly seen for what it is, except for here in the US.
All of this underscores the only real prospect for a total global empire, which is Globalism. While the idea of globalization isn't inherently bad, it in practice (by the authority figures & institutions that push for it) keeps proving to be more to the tune of a Globalist push for a global government.
Thanks to mass scale propaganda, the key 5 terms herein so far have all become interchangeable, their positives elevated while criticisms of their negatives spun as being "xenophobic", and as such are now widely adopted in much of Western Civilization and beyond. We already have the global village thanks to mass communications, transit and trade. Nobody is really complaining about all that, yet for some reason the masses have been convinced of this idea that this isn't good enough, and that we should go full bore towards a total global government.
This idea seems to be most hardy here in the US, and in the EU, despite the fact that at the federal levels in both governmental institutions, things like accountability and these governments being in touch with the will of the people about as grand a lesson in railroading as can be imagined. Therefore, the idea of adding yet more higher up layers above out working models is beyond comprehension, in my view. Add in the fact that once a global government is established, with no more independent nations to oppose it, as it evolves into being a dark system of oppression (as governments have a long historical tendency of doing), there would be o one left to oppose it. This reality is something you will never hear Globalists speak to.
Backing up, originators of the neocolonial global government push helped form the UN, and the UN has been the main fountainhead of 'global village means world government' type rhetoric in recent decades. While the overall premise of the United Nations isn't so bad, and even needed, these Globalists have been at the helm of it and essentially every world power for ages. ...
