Election 2020 Richard Spencer Endorses Joe Biden and the Democratic Party

[Rocinante]

Richard Spencer is such an obvious con artist it amazes me that anyone takes him seriously. I mean, come on. How else would a literal white nationalist manage to get a bluecheck on Twitter?

I don't use twitter, but doesn't the blue check just mean a high profile personality is who they say they are? He's decently high profile even if he's a con artist and racist piece of shit..does being a piece of shit stop you from getting a blue check?

I'm asking serious questions btw. Reddit and forums are the only social media I use, unless linked to something. So I have no idea how it actually works.

Twitter is notorious for banning people with much less reprehensible views than Spencer has. They banned Milo Yllianopoulis.

They've banned people who aren't ideologically reprehensible at all, unless you're hard left, like Sargon of Akkad

On the face of it yes, but in practice it's often denied to figures arbitrarily to show opposition to them.

Because he is a useful idiot? They don't even control him, yet he unwittingly or perhaps to a degree wittingly dances to their tune?

Spencer is theatrical in a way that a lot of white nationalists are not. He’s either controlled opposition, or had been used as a psyop to paint WN as a nearly autistic acting midwit.

White Nationalism is and always has been class IV terminal autism. Every white nationalist I've interacted with is so on the spectrum they shine like a rainbow.

The reason why he did this, wasn't because of unironic support. It was due to the Alt Right and its subsequent strands growing disillusioned with Trump, he wasn't the leader they wished him to be. So voting for Biden or supporting Biden, was an ironic way of criticizing Trump.

The important thing to note is, the "dissident right" and the far right is not pro Trump, they consider him another generic republican politician who was subordinate to Jews/Israel and pandered to blacks. In essence, Trump wasn't a White Nationalist or genuine reactionary.

Interesting fact, the guy that shot up that Synagogue in Pittsburgh, posted a meme where Trump was shown taking orders from a Jewish man. I think that crudely sums ups the far right's attitude towards Trump, he's a Jewish puppet who didn't do anything for White people and in fact actively deceives them on their(the Jews) behalf.

Its important to note these people consider the whole USG and society debased and illegitimate, under foreign(read Jewish) rule, and firmly believe it needs to be torn down. So a contempt for MAGA politics and Trump is par for the course and is not at all unsurprising.

Post-election update:



So strange watching people in Spencer's sphere morph into what can best be described as "racist Spacebattlers" politically, especially with this most establishment of takes.

This reasoning isn't in alignment with the MSM per se. Its more, "believing the election is fraudulent will be a stumbling block to conservatives and MAGA folks, so long as they believe that they will never embrace our politics".
