Ever Notice That It’s Only The Biggest Losers And Failures Who Proclaim Themselves The Master Race

Charlottesville "Unite the Right" Rally

It’s time to take a serious look at the people behind the alt-right movement – those who proclaim themselves the master race. 

The Washington Post reported mid-April 2018 that “Eight months after a white-nationalist rally in Charlottesville ended in the death of a counterprotester, the loose collection of disaffected young white men known as the alt-right is in disarray.”

The zenith of the alt-right — Charlottesville’s Unite the Right rally in August — also appears to have been the moment of its decline, according to hate-group experts and members of the alt-right, most of whom were predicting a surge in membership at the time.

Continuing, The Washington Post offered the following analysis of some of the leading figures of the alt-right movement:

Andrew Anglin, founder of the Daily Stormer, the largest alt-right website, has gone into hiding, chased by a harassment lawsuit. And Richard Spencer, the alt-right’s most public figure, canceled a college speaking tour and was abandoned by his attorney last month.

“Things have become a lot harder, and we paid a price for what happened in Charlottesville. . . . The question is whether there is going to be a third act,” said Spencer, who coined the name of the movement, which rose to prominence during the 2016 presidential campaign; advocates a whites-only ethno-state; and has posted racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic memes across the Internet.

Richard Spencer

Indeed, as Right Wing Watch reported last week, Richard Spencer has fallen on hard times:

Richard Spencer, who was once a leading figurehead of the racist alt-right movement, is begging his followers for $25,000 to help him fight off a federal lawsuit in which 11 plaintiffs are seeking damages for emotional and physical trauma received during last year’s violent Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Indeed, Spencer published a video on YouTube begging his supporters for money to hire an attorney.

Calling the lawsuit “warfare by legal means,” Spencer explained. “This is a mockery of justice,” he added, arguing that the case was “a conspiracy theory in the truest sense of the term,” intended to intimidate white nationalists and “take down the alt-right’s most prominent spokesman,” “that is me” he proclaimed.

“It is now time for me to lawyer up,” he continued, adding: “I am under attack. Losing this case would be catastrophic for our movement, for everyone engaged is dissident politics, to be honest.”

Milo Yiannopoulos

Politico reported last week that Yiannopoulos, a former senior editor for Breitbart News is being confronted by his own shortcomings.

Running out of money and down on his luck, right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos laid off the small staff of Milo Entertainment Inc. earlier this month, according to three people familiar with the situation.

Yiannopoulos’ company has fallen on hard times ever since his former patrons, Robert and Rebekah Mercer, severed their financial backing last year.

Politico went on to detail the specifics of his financial woes – but, in the final analysis, it seems that for now, his operation is in disarray and serious decline.

The Traditionalist Worker Party and Trailer Park Brawls

The Washington Post reported in April 2018 about a bizarre incident accompanying the collapse of one of the alt-right’s most organized groups, the Traditionalist Worker Party, which collapsed in March 2018.

The dynamic between co-founders Matt Parrott and Matthew Heimbach has always been unconventional. Heimbach is married to Parrott’s stepdaughter from a former marriage, and the two men lived in neighboring trailers, where they promoted traditional gender roles in addition to white-supremacist beliefs.

But according to a police report obtained by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Heimbach began sleeping with Parrott’s wife. In early March, the two told Parrott and Heimbach’s wife that the three-month affair was over, but Parrott didn’t believe it, so he concocted a plan to catch them. Heimbach and Parrott’s wife fell for it while Parrott was outside, standing atop a box, looking in through a window. Then the box broke, and, his cover presumably blown, Parrott went to confront Heimbach, who allegedly choked him. Parrott lost consciousness, then fled to a Walmart, where he called police, who reported that Heimbach later violently grabbed his wife’s face.

The Southern Poverty Law Center elaborated on the incident, reporting that:

During the set up at Parrott’s Paoli trailer home, Matthew Parrott and his step-daughter waited outside, standing on a box and watching through a window, police said.

A confrontation ensued between Heimbach and Matt Parrott. Parrott told police Heimbach twisted him down to the ground, then “choked [him] out.”

“He grabbed and injured my hand after I poked his chest then choked me out with his arm,” Parrott said in a handwritten statement to police. “Then he chased me to my home and did it again.”

After police arrived, the responding officer overheard a verbal confrontation between Heimbach and his wife, followed by a “scuffle,” the report states. Heimbach’s wife said her husband kicked a wall, grabbed her face “and threw me with the hand on my face onto the bed.”  Police said the step-daughter recorded the attack on her cellphone.

In the report, all four people involved in the incident recorded their occupations as “White Nationalist.”

The Washington Post concluded their article, reporting that:

Heimbach was charged with felony domestic battery, the Traditionalist Worker Party disintegrated, and Parrott, speaking on the phone earlier this month, sounded different than the triumphant white supremacist who in the days after the Charlottesville rally promised that he and the alt-right were here to stay.

“I’m unplugged from politics,” Parrott said. “I’m done. I’m out. I don’t want to be in The Washington Post anymore. I don’t care to have this humiliating and terrifying ordeal be more public than it already is. . . . There is no more Trad Worker.”

Heimbach, citing the advice of his attorneys, declined to comment.
