Lucy Brown,Yaxley-Lennon's erstwhile pal, is participating in the #greatnorthrun, raising money for @Kepplewray
Brown is connected with a host of neo nazi outfits/individuals. Let's hope this charity's Trustees tell her where to stick her money.

Your previous affiliation with GI suggests otherwise but I am open to debating.

Far-right I think doesn't mean anything now, alt right would possibly apply in the broadest definition but not in the more narrow sense of euphemism for white nationalist / supremacist, and nothing I've written or said either when I was in GI or since has been WN/WS

In all fairness I think Tom is right. I am reading a new book by activists and intellectuals from the Alt-Right and race is absolutely foundational to their world view, summarised by the '14 words' (see page ix in the introduction).pic.twitter.com/3FgCjLAHfF

That’s the “internal” definition of the alt right, I think the publics is broader, and includes stuff like Peterson or any non mainstream take on similar issues. I actually think that’s a more useful definition as a social phenomenon than a few thousand neo-Nazis

I prefer the tighter definition otherwise it dissolves into an amorphous mist.

I think it’s interesting and relevant because it’s amorphous - it’s the first decentralised, Internet-era political event. It absolutely does include the WN element but they are a small part, who inflate their own relevance (for obvious reasons)...

... many are “ambivalent” to racism or support ideas of racial inequality without agreeing with racial political organisation, and then many others adopt essentially anti-racialist “stop talking about this” / anti-identity politics stances. The unifier isn’t race...

... it’s opposition to a progressive / liberal mainstream, and their “inquisition” method of enforcing it. Which is why it’s odd the hard left sees the alt-right as its main enemy and not liberalism. Divide and rule
