Lauren Southern, and Women on the Altright
I ran a Twitter poll this month, and it's kinda hilarious.
That's right, a perfect stalemate 445-445 votes. Yikes.
I never got involved in the women-in-the-altright kerfuffle, and don't intend to. There are too many enemies outward to spend energy fighting inward, and the more united our front, the more successful we will be.
The only metric we should care about is this: Will it be redpill more people? That's it.
Most people who are altright started off altlight. It's like a click-funnel in marketing. We need the altlight, because that funnel has the highest conversions into the altright. At the same time, the altlight has to denounce us, to provide cover for their growing movement in limelight of mainstream media. It's a fundamental tension that must be maintained. Let them disavow us, denigrate us, distance themselves from us. But let them grow.
In time, as they scale, we will peel more of their numbers away from them, and we will scale in tandem grow. So make your memes, but deal no fatal blows. Disagreement with the altlight is fine to the extent it doesn't divert its revenue.
For those new to the altright's Woman Question, some useful videos on the pro side are:
And the arguments being made on the against side are:
This is coalition politics. Let's move on and slay dragons already.
What is the question, exactly? Is she right about something? Bangable? Should be thrown off a bridge?
That was the funny thing. I didn't even ask a question. I was just curious if there was generally a "Yes" or "No" sentiment.
But really, I grok the underlying question was whether she's a net positive or negative asset to the growth of the altright movement. She's a proxy for the altlight movement, and the increasing move to the mainstream by figures like Jordan Peterson, Paul Joseph Watson, The Rebel, and others.
As somebody vehemently opposed to anybody farther right than Hillary Clinton, it is all quite baffling to me.
Yeah, I can see that. Hopefully it makes good popcorn-eating fun for you to watch play out at least. Will be interesting to see where all the chess pieces sit for the next election cycle. Cheers.
Well put!
