National editor at Politico Michael Hirsh resigned after publishing the home addresses of alt-right figurehead Richard Spencer Tuesday morning and advocating for serious violence.
Politico confirmed his resignation following requests for comment from The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Stop whining about Richard B. Spencer, Nazi, and exercise your rights as decent Americans,” Hirsh wrote in a public Facebook post. “Here are his two addresses.”

That said even a scumbag like Spencer doesn't deserve to be assaulted its never justified.

The problem is the alt-right is difficult to impossible to define. AP notes scholars agree it's a catch-all for many singular beliefs, only some of which are racist while others are not. Throwing them into a mixer and saying they're all the same is disingenuous at best.

 

Example

 

Progressives often use white nationalism as a synonym for Nazi, or at least white supemicist or the Klan. A hot button phrase to get people stirred up. This is a very simplistic view, and divisive. But then, that's the goal; divide and conquer. Saul Alinsky said so in Rules for Radicals.

 

Let's break it down.

 

2/3 of the US are non-hispanic whites. That's their official identity, both in government forms and common speech.

 

Very few deny the right of blacks to identify by the black label, so why is a white person denied a similar right and is accused of being a racist if they do?  They shouldn't be. It's hypocritical. And racist.

 

A  mainstream nationalist can be of any race, and it has numerous meanings only a few of which are racist.

 

Pro tip: don't act as if they're all the same. It shows 2 Dimensional Thinking.

 

The main definition of an American nationalist is someone who believes Americans, all Americans, should come first in the minds of our leaders. We may want to help other nations develop economically, but not at the cost of American jobs; white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Native or Martian once people start immigrating back from there.

 

And we've been screwed in this. Royally screwed. By the globalists in both political parties. Not all Republicans, and not all Democrats. The globalists in both parties whose allegiances are elsewhere. Bernie and mainstream nationalists have a lot in common wrt these guys.

 

Another aspect of mainstream American nationalism is that our borders should be secure and our immigration laws followed. They haven't been, and citizens & legal immigrant laborers of every description are ticked off over it because it's costing them their jobs. 

 

Legal Hispanics here call them 'line jumpers.' This is not racist. It's correct terminology.

 

So, 

 

I am white, mostly Scandinavian, and I can't do anything about it. Sorry. I'm also a mainstream American nationalist, as defined above.  White and a nationalist.

 

Does being white and a nationalist mean I'm racist? Far from it, you should see my family, and it doesn't mean others are either. Stop acting as if it does. 

 

Paraphrasing Bill Clinton, 'it's all about the economy and bad policy, stupid.'

 

Other white nationalist subtypes are indeed racists; the KKK, neo-nazi groups etc.  are despicable, but they are in the vast minority. They definitely shouldn't be cobbled together with other mainstream white nationalists. In either party. 

 

The same goes for the radical black nationalist groups, the reconquista wing of La Rasa, MS-13 etc.  They're different than other "ethnic and nationalist" groups who have mainstream beliefs, and there are many.

With all that you posted .... Richard Spencer IS a white nationalist and the Alt-Right term is mostly attributed to him.  He is scum ... though as TPreston posted ... should never be assaulted and this editor is rightfully gone.

Saying what he said minus the full throated screaming implied by a 30+ point font would have come off better. All Caps on steroids. Yecch.

 

And the term alt-right (alternative right) did not start with Spencer, it dates back much further; conservative writer Paul Gottfried in 2008. Spencer shouldn't fully appropriate it, and progressives tossing all nationalists into his pot is just flat misleadibg. But then, that's the whole idea. Straight from Saul A.

Totally NOT A WHITE NATIONALIST

 

It was founded by white nationalists for white nationalists, It is just a re-branding of the movement just like David Duke was.
