Wait, what?? Hard alt-right Richard Spencer endorses Joe Biden

Notorious right personality Richard Spencer has declared he will be voting for the "more competent" Democrat ticket in November, getting a rebuke from team Biden and mass disbelief in response. Yet he has a record of voting blue.

Spencer, a popular speaker with hard-right ideology, was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump in 2016, but this time around his sympathies may be on the other side. He said on Twitter that he plans to vote for the Democrats in November, because "the liberals are clearly more competent people".

Comment: Which deserves an even bigger jawdrop than his initial declaration of support for Dementia Joe. Is he covertly endorsing Phony Kamala? Or as speculated below, taking a backhanded swipe at the Democrat ticket?

He later shared an election advert declaring that he was "on team Joe".

The recipients of the surprise endorsement were not thrilled. Andrew Bates, whose job as the head of rapid response for the Biden campaign includes deflecting support from unwanted people, swiftly jumped in. Spencer is part of the "vile forces of hate who have come crawling out from under rocks", opposed by the Democrat nominee, he wrote.

tg Many people on the left took Spencer's words as a two-bit ploy to undermine Biden on behalf of Trump by dividing them. A similar view was popular in the same circles about Kanye West's run for the presidency.

If that is the case, the plan had at least some success. Leftwing political commentator and self-described "proud socialist" Ryan Knight demanded that Biden immediately disavowed Spencer, because "these are the standards set by liberals."

His reasoning has some merit. Biden supporters were eager to pile on Tulsi Gabbard over an endorsement of her candidacy by former KKK leader David Duke even after she rejected it. Bernie Sanders got his share of flak too for accepting a nod from popular podcast host Joe Rogan, a known critic of Biden whom some people on the left consider "toxic".

Meanwhile, Spencer's voting record shows that he voted for Democrats in the 2004 Dallas County primary. When asked about it by the Dallas Morning News, he said that year he cast his ballot for John Kerry because George W Bush stood for war.

Spencer is a well known chosen shill, I really don't care who he votes for.

Stretch · 2020-08-24T23:09:10Z

Which goes to show that, despite the bizarre SOTT editorial comment, Democrats are now Republicans and Trump is orbiting a whole different planet.

Protectron77 · 2020-08-24T23:32:51Z

This has a simple explanation.

Richard Spencer is an identitarian and a race ideologist. As Democrats have now supported BLM and intersectional feminism for a while, they are also race ideologists and identitarians.

Their ideas for the future align much more closely than that of the conservatives. Both of them wants to get rid of the Liberal Democratic world order and replace it with a socialist/fascist totalitarian state which differs only by the kind of propaganda they'd run and which groups would be persecuted first.

Protectron77 So it’s a reset of the genocide priorities.

Stretch · 2020-08-24T23:52:32Z

Protectron77 For the sake of clarity, let's keep with Mussolini's definition of facism, that it is "a merger of state and corporate power". This is the opposite of socialism in which there is no corporate power. In this light, facism describes the US as it exists today, not some place we are headed to.

Joyly · 2020-08-25T00:18:45Z

Stretch Thanks for the clarity. What is it called when there has been a coup against the govt and corporate power reigns?

Stretch · 2020-08-25T00:23:08Z

Joyly You're welcome. But the question still stands; what are we, in the US, going to do to get out of our predicament of being controlled by what is essentially one political party? Democrats or Republicans, it's the same thing with superficial differences. What are we going to do?

Ivar · 2020-08-25T00:23:14Z

Stretch Yes White Nationalism is more akin to National Socialism, which may be under the fascist umbrella but has many differences, and more similariites with socialism. White Nationalists are just Ethno-Nationalists, or just Nationalist, depending on how you use the define nationalism. They tend to be pretty left leaning in terms of foreign policy, control of corporations, social security. Their main difference is that they want the state to be for and by a specific ethnic group. They usually rate their citizens in a racial hierarchy. So for example Norway would expel Somalis but let the Swedes stay. While contemporary nationalism and patriotism is about the State, the Flag, the Anthem, Ethno-Nationalism is about the People first. I think that is the focal point of their ideology, and you might not find much fascism in their beliefs. Also White Nationalism is a very American thing, since so many have been merged together from different parts of Europe there, that they just call it White. There is no 'White Nationalism' in Europe for example.

Stretch · 2020-08-25T00:33:31Z

Joyly Sorry, didn't read exactly what you wrote. I don't know. In the US, that happened long ago, in the 1800's. I guess it's called America.

Stretch · 2020-08-25T00:38:58Z

Ivar But you're not making sense. Ethno Nationalists, as you call them, are equally applied to the Republican party, which is White through and through. I agree, though, with some of what you say, but White Nationalism is the root of WWI and WWII.

Stretch · 2020-08-25T00:56:44Z

Ivar I appreciate your academic approach but fine tuning the isms doesn't interest me. Nationalism means that you think you're better than someone else. White Nationalism in Europe has many names, including Nazism.

Joyly · 2020-08-25T01:03:01Z

Stretch And that is the crux of the problem ‘that you think you’re better than someone else’ and that you are entitled to tell everyone else what is best for them. Hence the US reign of terror and never ending wars. US has it bad, so does Israel.

Stretch · 2020-08-25T01:15:45Z

Joyly We forget that, despite the arguments of Madison and Jefferson, the people rule. To think otherwise is to relinquish power.

Joyly · 2020-08-25T01:20:08Z

Stretch Yes and the people need to remember that. We all give the power to the Govt to rule in our name. At least that is the theory. Problem is the system has been hijacked by greedy self serving corporations and Israel (also greedy and self serving).

Ivar · 2020-08-25T01:21:10Z

Stretch Not that you're better necesserily, but that you are unique, different.

Stretch · 2020-08-25T01:27:13Z

Stretch So we either make new political parties or we demand that the existing parties end being corporate parties. Elect rational people. I thought Gabbard was rational. I could be high. But compared to the rest she stood out for me.

Demand that we end welfare for corporations, including the billions we're giving for a Covid vaccine- let them use their own money for that. They have plenty. If you don't ask you will not receive.

Ivar · 2020-08-25T02:06:35Z

Stretch There is no political solution. You can't win at their game.

Ivar · 2020-08-25T02:07:28Z

Stretch So no new parties, waste of energy.

Ivar · 2020-08-25T02:16:19Z

Stretch They have made many energy sinks for you to pour your effort into, I encourage everyone to think carefully when doing any sort of activism because of that. The best activism is having a solid family. Take care of your loved ones, make more loved ones if you are married and so forth

Stretch · 2020-08-25T03:29:22Z

Ivar I think you're right. But, let's say you're Republican (I'm assuming you're in the US obviously), run on the Republican ticket but go back to the roots, even to William Buckley, defend what was once morally defensible. I think you'd win. I'd vote for you.

Ivar · 2020-08-25T04:55:28Z

Stretch Hehe, if no interference from media, maybe. And how would I finance this election? I won't rule out politics entirely, but it is not constructive to focus on it. When the comets come, when the ice age freezes our norther outposts, yet again, what would a political party do. Strong family, strong community, sustainability, autarky, and we will endure this crazy time.

Protectron77 · 2020-08-25T23:20:22Z

Stretch "For the sake of clarity, let's keep with Mussolini's definition of facism, that it is "a merger of state and corporate power". This is the opposite of socialism in which there is no corporate power. In this light, facism describes the US as it exists today, not some place we are headed to."

Yes, the system in the US is borderline fascistic - but if these communists rioting in the streets take over, the end result will be the kind of state-controlled capitalism we see in China. The alternative is a return to clan societies, since Marx was extremely wrong in his utopian dreams about a classless society where no-one owns property.

BLM and Antifa are just useful idiots and psychopathic opportunists.

I can't fathom how anybody would actually believe that private ownership (capitalism) has a viable alternative. Do YOU live in a classless, ownershipless commune where everybody gets enough food and other necessities and there is just peace and harmony? No? Why not - it is within your power to create such a structure in your own home or even neighbourhood?

No, you own or rent your house or apartment and you are the one responsible for your children (if you have any) - which means that they are your "property", although we don't use that term on humans anymore. You sleep in your bed - it is yours. The rest of your (yes YOUR) family sleep in theirs - so despite you being the one paying for your children's beds, it is theirs. You own the right to rent out your skills to someone else, and require compensation for your time.

Those are the perks of living in a Liberal Democracy.

The perks of living in a Totalitarian Dictatorship masquerading as a socialist "republic" is that everything de facto belongs to the State (the dictator/party). Every aspect of your lives will be controlled by the State, although, if you're lucky, you get their permission to act as though you own your own home, labour, items and children. All four may or may not be taken from you, depending on the needs of the State.

Marxism's success depend on humans being inhuman, and that's why those who cry "but mah true Marxism has never been tried" are wrong. Because 5% of us are psychopaths who don't have a sense of decency or moral fibre, and well over 50% are authoritarian followers who will gladly throw the first stone when one of the aforementioned yells "witch!" I hope that at least 5% of us can think for ourselves and are not psychopaths, but I am sceptical of this. It seems to be a dwindling minority.

Ivar · 2020-08-26T02:09:18Z

Protectron77 100% agree.

Quote of the Day

"The purpose of GLADIO was to attack civilians, the people - women, children, innocent people, unknown people, far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force the public to turn to the State and demand greater security. Under a strategy of tension, you 'destabilize in order to stabilize', to create tension within society and promote conservative, reactionary social and political tendencies."
