Hillary is portraying the alt-right as extremist.
A news release from the Hillary Clinton campaign on Tuesday morning contained a phrase that would have baffled those paying only casual attention to the presidential election — and baffled nearly everyone if it had been used 24 months ago.
“On Thursday, August 25,” it read, “Hillary Clinton will campaign in Reno, Nevada, and deliver a speech to address Donald Trump and his advisors’ embrace of the disturbing ‘alt-right’ political philosophy.” Understanding that “alt-right” might not immediately be understood by readers, the campaign offered a brief definition: “This ‘alt-right’ brand is embracing extremism and presenting a divisive and dystopian view of America which should concern all Americans, regardless of party.”
This is completely short sighted, much like the earlier attempts to portray Donald as “Dark.” “Dark” is an amygdala-stimulating phrase, guaranteed to make the brains of those who hear it instantly open up to the conservative ideology. When the Huns are at the gates, do not want Mr. Rogers singing, “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…” leading you. You want Darth Vader first using the force to strangle Mr. Rogers to death, and then as soon as his dead body hits the ground, turning his ire on your enemies. That is why you haven’t heard the word “Dark” since.
Now Hillary is calling attention to the most K-selected corner of the internet, at the very moment that the nation is increasingly turning K. Turning more people into Stefan Molyneux fans, or exposing more people to Castalia House Publishing, just as the nation is turning K, is not going to help Hillary. I think it a good sign that her persuasion specialists are so blinded by the rabbit-like psychology of the r-strategy that they are so completely out of touch with both the nation and reality.
Even better, it is a process that is accelerating. What they don’t realize is that as the nation’s rejection of them drives them more leftward, the psychologies of the nation are undergoing the natural shift toward K that was programmed in by nature. That is making the left vastly more repellant to everyone, the alt-right much more attractive, and leaves the left ever less able to understand the reality they need to understand to succeed. The political polarization created as the extreme left splits farther from the norm due to panic and the rest of the nation heads farther right on a K-shift, do not bode well for leftism’s ascent.
My guess is they will abandon this effort quickly, as soon as they realize that the nation has a large swath within it that will think this alt-right movement espouses a lot of commonsense things they find attractive, and the colorful personalities are very appealing. The alt-right hasn’t gotten this far for nothing.
Of course the ultimate political Judo move would be to make r/K Theory a fundamental element of the alt-right. Then Hillary’s publicizing of the alt-right would drive the popularity of the one concept which would have to be taught in every Political Science class, and which would inoculate everyone exposed to it against the leftist disease. It would be unlikely, but if asked about his association with the alt-right, Donald said something like, “I don’t know that much about it but, I admit I find that r/K Theory of Political Ideologies interesting…”, I am pretty sure you would hear leftist heads exploding for miles in every direction, and any attempt to focus anyone on any other aspect of the alt right to Donald’s detriment would be futile. Plus, r/K Theory is, in my opinion, an excellent gateway drug to prepare people’s minds for acceptance of the rest of the alt-right.
Meanwhile, it should not escape the notice of the establishment cuckservatives that the nation is now seeing that the real enemy of Hillary and the ultra-left is not establishment conservatism, but the Alt-right. The Cucks will either learn to ape the manners of the alt-right, or more likely, end up entirely irrelevant in the K-selected world to come – like libertarians have been for the last two decades.
As Trump has proven to be to establishment Republican candidates, let the Alt-right be to establishment cuckservatism.
[…] Hillary Bemoans Extremism and the Alt-Right […]
This is the same thing i thought when i first discovered r/K Theory. The Revolutionary implications for political theory were instantly clear to me. It has to be the foundation for the Alt Right. Every introduction to Rightist thought and political theory has to begin with r/K, its a nuclear bomb right from the start! Every leftist idea you ever read, especially as a person with a more developed Amygdala, but most likely in general as well will always be viewed through r/K. You cant unsee it once youve seen it!
AC,
Outstanding article, and completely in line with what I see.
I have linked to it on Joe Katzman’s article at Dark Triad Man along with a short excerpt:

I can tell you that Richard Spencer who coined the term, and everyonewho’s been in the trenches for years will be creaming themselves at the mention from a pres. Candidate. Anyone who cares can hear his thoughts on a recent red ice radio podcast. I recommend it, it was good stuff.
I tweeted this post to Mr Trump, with a hope that he reads it.
Good stuff indeed.
Rabbit or wolf!
Thank you.
“You want Darth Vader first using the force to strangle Mr. Rogers to death, and then as soon as his dead body hits the ground, turning his ire on your enemies.”
I loved Mr. Rogers. But I would totally watch that on pay-per-view.
Is it just me or what is going on in the news world ? In looking at Google news yesterday and today shows a disappearance of pro-Hillary news reports and some plus-Trump reports . Maybe just a burp . The next day or two may turn into a trend in the algorithm.
As a former libertarian, my view is that libertarians are blinded by distrust of elevating others to positions of authority. In their distrust of the men manning the parapets, they leave open the gates to the savages. In this regard, libertarianism is like leftism: Utopian. Utter libertarianism posits a world where every man is sovereign. In practice, this is utterly impossible due to the irrationality that is part of the human condition. I think a leading “libertarian,” Hans Hermann Hoppe, reached this conclusion as well. In his discussion of his book, “Democracy, the God that Failed, he alludes to the notion that in the real world, monarchy may be the least bad form of state, and I think he realizes that statelessness is truly a Utopia, nowhere in existence real or possible. https://mises.org/library/democratic-leviathan (PS: Google seems intent on trying to block the site due to an out of date SSL certificate.)
David you are reading your own conclusions into the book, Hoppe didn’t conclude anything of the sort. Actually I don’t think you read the book, you must have just read a blurb about it. He doesn’t “allude to the notion”, he explicates over hundreds of pages that monarchy is a better form of government than democracy in many respects and that it is certainly more sustainable. He did this to trash democracy and cast history in a new light, not because he actually advocates monarchy. The subtitle of the book is “The Economics and Politics of Monarchy, Democracy, and Natural Order.” Natural Order is what Hoppe advocates in the book, which is his term for a stateless libertarian society which he argues is superior to a statist monarchy. I highly recommend people read it, its a brilliant book.
Given that it is impossible to turn the clock back and revert to monarchic governments now that the Pandora’s box of democracy has been opened, there is no form of government the alt-right crowd can implement which would not be fundamentally democratic. Therefor Hoppe’s evisceration of democracy is as much an argument against the alt-right people, many of whom hardly understand the nature of the state better than the left does. There is no form of government which the alt right can set up, which would not end up eating itself and its populace. Quite the opposite of what you said, if anything he proves that a sustainable limited government is an impossibility.
I don’t know what you mean by “the irrationality that is part of the human condition” and how a statement like that is supposed to be an argument against libertarianism. Market forces weed out failures, coercive statist monopolies on the other hand let crazy theories crash and burn entire civilizations. K-selected peoples can organize to protect themselves without a “territorial monopolist of ultimate decision making over a given geographical area” which is Hoppe’s definition of a state. In establishing a government all you are doing is creating a parasitical class who since they have the power to tax (steal) and don’t have to compete with anyone in providing their services (like defense), they are insulated from reality/economic inputs and their blunders and corruptions will just compound over time. How does this account for “the irrationality of the human condition”? This is the decivilizing process we every single government today guilty of (yet the alt right does not explain how they will be different and prevent this). One final point: libertarians/anarcho-capitalists are not against authority or hierarchy, we just disagree with statists as to how people should become authority/leadership figures and what will dethrone them from their positions when they err. Its market forces vs voting. Hoppe explains why and how there can be a free market in defense and courts in the very book you mentioned.
