'Young white guys are hopping mad': confidence grows at far-right gathering

“We are soldiers in this war,” Jared Taylor told an overwhelmingly male and entirely white audience of around 300 late on Saturday. “And we will win.”

The founder and editor of American Renaissance, once a print magazine and now “the internet’s premier race-realist site”, no longer thinks whites can have America to themselves. But he wants an all-white “ethnostate”, carved out of US territory.

This weekend, American Renaissance held its annual conference at a venue in Montgomery Bell state park, an hour west of Nashville, Tennessee. Attendees and speakers clearly felt a growing confidence. They have seen appreciable growth in membership of established and emerging far-right groups. They have also seen the election as president of Donald Trump.

Speakers at the event addressed subjects including “Race realism and race denialism” and “Has the white man turned the corner?”. One considered “The Trump report card – so far”.

When Taylor spoke, his audience was generationally diverse. Some, well into middle age or beyond, had heard it all before. But when he asked who was attending for the first time, the great majority raised their hands.

The recent Green book describes how Bannon explicitly incited hate in young white tech savvy males -- using Breitbart.


Blame the racists -- but also blame Bannon and Breitbart.

105.5 FM in Washington DC, the newly owned Sputnik Radio Station with one Boris Epshteyn broadcasting to the masses:

Where are the protectors of the Republic? Epshteyn is a Russian agent! He's part of the coup! And no one understands this?
Jeez. I live 3 thousand miles away from DC and I can see it crystal clear. What is wrong with these people? When will Sinclair be questioned about its ties to Russia?

of fascism being made in this country, we have a FCC that is just selling licenses and getting approval from other government agencies to sell and consolidate these stations, because since the "republicans" will not raise taxes to keep the system going, the government you and me (and elections have consequences) they are putting people in there sell off the channels to the highest bidder, and now we have Sputnik radio 105.5 FM , to hell with bluegrass, the country gets "red grass" and its Pravda sponsors messages

How about all of these discontented white people, go to the area of North Africa where the Sahara desert is located! There are hundreds miles of desert that no one lives in...an industrious group like these should be able to carve out a successful society within the next 50-100 years!

They only need to renounce their US citizenship!!!

Schisms will start forming. It could be hair color, eye color, skin tone - who knows what the dividing force would be, but there will be one.

They have never won long term. Hate is a losing ideology and he's just another loser.

These troglodytes don't even qualify as a Homo erectus. They're a bunch of knuckle-dragging, chromosome missing, Neanderthals.
