alt-right

Conservatism is the belief in advancing ideas, the alt-right believes in advancing a race.

Jason Kessler, organizer of last year’s Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, has announced that he will be holding an anniversary rally in Washington, D.C. on August 12. In a recent video, Kessler expressed his intent for this year’s rally to be about white advocacy and white rights—but not…

Robert Zubrin reviews Timothy Snyder's 'The Road to Unfreedom'

The GOP frontrunner in Virginia is known for extreme rhetoric and ties to vicious people.

When Twitter removed verified status from some controversial conservative accounts in November, alt-right provocateur Laura Loomer was undeterred. “I could be sad about this and let it ruin my night, or I could view it as a compliment,” Loomer tweeted. “I'll take this as a sign that I'm really…

The Amish help build America's biggest concerts. Who would have thought that some of the most technologically advanced live music shows out there are brought to you, in part, by Lancaster County's Amish population:

As white supremacists go, Joey Gibson makes for a lousy one. For starters, he’s half Japanese. “I don’t feel like I’m Caucasian at all,” he says. Not to be a stickler for the rules, but this kind of talk could get you sent to Master Race remedial school.

The classic books about presidential campaigns don’t fixate on chronology. They only use chronology—the run from primaries to conventions to debates to the election—to tell a bigger story, one that transcends the campaign.

Steve Bannon, a key populist voice in the Trump administration, is out as White House chief strategist, the Drudge Report first reported on Friday.

Around dinnertime on August 14, President Donald Trump tweeted about the “truly bad people” who played a role in the Charlottesville race riots. Less than 24 hours later he highlighted some “very fine people” who were there, too.

Evaluating the violence in Charlottesville and the reaction to it from public officials and commentators requires basic levels of reason and decency. To botch it reveals some terribly unflattering trait: It could be related to political or partisan obsession, ego, honest-to-goodness insensitivity,…

There’s a reason why it was necessary for President Donald Trump to denounce specifically and unequivocally the white nationalists whose demonstration last weekend in Virginia became violent—not the “many sides” who were also protesting, or violence in general. It’s true there were left-wing…

There are reports that White House aides were caught off guard by Donald Trump’s Tuesday press conference in which he said the “alt-left” deserved blame for the violence in Charlottesville last weekend and that there were “fine people” on both sides of the white nationalist rally there. Trump “went…

Updated, 10:45 p.m.: Violence around a planned white nationalist rally in Virginia left three people dead and over a dozen injured Saturday, multiple news outlets reported.

The impulse to do something after a horrific event is universal, and perhaps even more pronounced in politicians than typical civilians. And so, in the wake of the horrific murder of two commuters on a Portland, Oregon, light rail over the weekend, it's not entirely surprising to see that city's…

'Beauty," Camille Paglia once wrote, "is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature." But as today's high-culture world descends into the morass of identity politics, beauty itself has surrendered to…

After masked marauders invaded the campus breaking and burning things, rioting to shut down a speech by alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, a question for the University of California, Berkeley, was whether the miscreants were students or (in the immortal words of The Graduate's Berkeley…

No journalist really understood the forces that over the past year made Donald Trump president, with the possible exception of the former newspaper publisher Conrad Black. In early 2016, with the primary season barely underway, Black wrote a column in Canada’s National Post entitled "Don't…

The alt-right movement, relatively minuscule but outsized in the media coverage it has received before and since Donald Trump's election, is the latest iteration of America's dalliance with identity politics. So writes WEEKLY STANDARD senior editor Christopher Caldwell in the New York Times. Here's…

Hanover, N.H.

Editor William Kristol's weekly Kristol Clear podcast, on Hillary's "alt-right" attack, the lingering Clinton scandals, and he answers the question "How does a neocon have fun in the summer of Trump?"

Washington Free Beacon editor Matthew Continetti joined PBS NewsHour Thursday to discuss the alt-right, an online-based movement of racist and bigoted provocateurs who have largely rallied around the candidacy of Donald Trump. In the segment Continetti, who is a contributing editor to THE WEEKLY…
