Trying to play nice politically can result in a very confused message. Paul Joseph Watson of Prison Planet (he works with Alex Jones and InfoWars) has a list of what he’s for and against–a list intended to make him sound like a middle-of-the-road classical liberal.
Check out his list and tell me this: What about the right of ethnics to voluntarily form a collective? Classical liberalism is not in contradiction to nationalism (see David Conway’s work in this regard). Mr. Watson’s politically pleasing logic, below, makes difficult a vital, peaceful secessionist project like the Afrikaner Orania Movement, for instance.
Things I support.
– Free speech
– Individualism
– Skilled immigration
– Drug legalization
– Limited government
– Free markets
– PeaceThings I oppose.
– Ethnostate
– Collectivism
– Extremism
– Violence
– Monopolies
– WarAccording to the media, this makes me "Alt-Right". ?
