The Making of an American Nazi
How did Andrew Anglin go from being an antiracist vegan to the alt-right’s most vicious troll and propagandist—and how might he be stopped?
On December 16, 2016, Tanya Gersh answered her phone and heard gunshots. Startled, she hung up. Gersh, a real-estate agent who lives in Whitefish, Montana, assumed it was a prank call. But the phone rang again. More gunshots. Again, she hung up. Another call. This time, she heard a man’s voice: “This is how we can keep the Holocaust alive,” he said. “We can bury you without touching you.”

He even advocated for white genocide... seriously!
But I thing this going into my theory of the alt-right. It's just a trend for "edgy" suburban white kids who are socially isolated and have absolutely no traits that are endearing or interesting, so they just act outrageous to get .
This is usually whatever the opposite of what the US administration is.
So, during the Bush years, all of these folks were left-leaning atheists, then the Obama years they became alt-right.
I predict during the Trump years these guys will all become "woke" SJWs.
Of course, it won't be any real social justice dialogue that will be meaningful, but more this pseudo-woke hyper capitalism where they will only buy products from a company if their CEO is a trans woman of colour... and if you point out that the company just sells cheap crap made by a 6 year old kid in a sweatshop in Bangladesh, they will call you a racist, misogynistic, transphobe and infer that the 6 year old kid in Bangladesh deserves to be in a sweat shop because they are "cis scum".
