Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: Alt Right Not “Self-Destructing”—It’s Just Been Mugged By Government-Antifa Alliance Establishment Conservatives Too, But They’re Too Stupid To Notice The “Alt Right” is “self-destructing” according to the Daily Beast [Less Than A Year After Charlottesville, the Alt-Right Is Self-Destructing, by Kelly Weill, March 29, 2018]. Slavishly quoting hideous Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty Law Center and the $PLC’s questionable claims about the supposed rise of “hate groups,” Weil claims legal trouble is the key factor driving many Alt Right supporters out of the movement, dishonestly implying they brought this on themselves. But in fact what is happening is systematic government repression—politicized law enforcement is working in de facto alliance with violent Totalitarian Left to shut down peaceful dissent. The catalyst for the Beast’s article: Richard Spencer’s March 5th, 2018 attempt to speak at Michigan State University. The result was a bloody mess as protesters and would-be attendees clashed in the streets, resulting in many arrests. Spencer argued this violence was contrary to his intention: The college tour is not about pitched battles, it is about intellectual activity and, until something changes, I’m going to have to rethink how I do this… Antifa are going to do their thing, and if the campus police and the state police and the local police aren’t ultimately willing to open up a corridor [for Spencer’s audience to enter] then I don’t want to repeat Michigan [State]. (Emphasis added) [Richard Spencer rethinking plans to visit UM after violence at MSU, by Martin Slagter, MLive, March 12, 2018] Disgracefully, the street fights were taken by ostensibly mainstream journalists as proof of the effectiveness of violent Antifa tactics. For example, Natasha Lennard at The Intercept crowed, “Is Antifa Counterproductive? White nationalist Richard Spencer would beg to differ, March 17, 2018]. She further made an all-but-explicit endorsement of expanded vigilante tactics: “If ‘alt-right’ speakers do go ‘underground,’ [i.e. hold meetings in private] where they will lack police lines and university establishment protections, Antifa will be sure to follow them there, too,” she wrote. The retort is obvious: what “police lines and university establishment protections?” As in Charlottesville itself, the issue is not that the Right cannot protect itself—it did so very effectively in the Battle of Berkeley. It’s that the Right is not permitted to protect itself. At Unite The Right, there would have been less violence and fewer injuries if the police had simply abandoned the city altogether and let UTR participants themselves guard the perimeter. Instead, police literally pushed combatants into each other and in what then Charlottesville police chief Al Thomas subsequently admitted was a deliberate attempt to cause chaos. The same occurred at Michigan State—aptly described as a “mini- Charlottesville.” Video suggests Greg Conte, Richard Spencer’s colleague, was trying to separate dueling groups, essentially doing the police’s job for them. When he is confronted by a mob, the police are nowhere to be seen. However, when he asks them why police aren’t doing their job, Conte is swarmed by police and arrested and now charged, absurdly, with resisting arrest, among other things.

They're desperately trying the same ancient trick -- provoke the other side to get violent first, then "save" everybody from it by great further depredations against the Bill of Rights. Worked at Ft Sumter, worked in Birmingham -- but only because of media lies and fakery. Plus witch they really, really want to push whitey back into his cage. _____________________________________________________________ USA! USA! USA! Bringing you democracy, or else! there were strains of VD that were incurable, and they were first found in the Philippines and then transmitted to the Korean working girls via US military. The 'incurables' we were told were first taken back to a military hospital in the Philippines to quietly die. – 4um
