A one-time drug dealer, candidate for Congress and aspiring stand-up comedian, Christopher Cantwell now hosts Alt-Right luminaries such as Matthew Heimbach, Augustus Invictus and Andrew Auernheimer, aka, Weev, on his call-in talk show “Radical Agenda,” which is live-streamed via Facebook and UStream three days a week from his home studio in Keene, New Hampshire.
On his show and in mordant essays published on his website Christophercantwell.com, this 36-year-old self-proclaimed fascist – whose style borrows from such mainstream shock jocks as Howard Stern and Opie and Anthony — argues for an Anglo ethno state free of African-Americans, Jews and non-white immigrants, save, perhaps, for the occasional exception.
In Cantwell’s world, Blacks are prone to violence and have lower IQs; Jews spread communism and can’t be trusted; immigrants are outbreeding whites; and a race war is all but inevitable.
Cantwell has called for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government, and, in previous years, for the assassination of ordinary law enforcement officers and other government workers. Democrats and “communists” need to be “physically removed” from the country, Cantwell insists, and white men should consider polygamy to increase number of Caucasian babies being born.
Cantwell’s violent rhetoric and racist statements have gotten him kicked out of one libertarian organization after another, and with each ouster, he has moved further and further to the right, culminating in his alliance with neo-Nazis and white supremacists, and earning him a loyal, paying audience of haters.
“[M]y goal here is to normalize racism,” he explained to Hatewatch in one of two interviews for this profile. “I'm going to make a commercial enterprise out of saying things that people want to make illegal. I'm going to make a whole fucking bunch of money doing it. Anybody who gets in my way is going to find themselves in a very long list of people who regretted underestimating me.”
Though his hatred of law enforcement and the state has waned as he has drifted ever rightward, Cantwell’s corrosive rhetoric occasionally spills over into real life. Combined with an admitted history of alcohol and drug abuse, it makes for a volatile combination, as Cantwell’s influence expands and his participation in Alt-Right and neo-Nazi events increases.
Great piece.
ReplyDelete"Progressives" hate our guts no matter what we do or say. Why would anyone want to suck up to them?
ReplyDeleteI don't often agree with Ann Coulter but I think she is right when she called out libertarians for being pussies

"“We’re living in a country that is 70-percent socialist, the government takes 60 percent of your money. They are taking care of your health care, of your pensions. They’re telling you who you can hire, what the regulations will be. And you want to suck up to your little liberal friends and say, ‘Oh, but we want to legalize pot.’ You know, if you’re a little more manly you would tell them what your position on employment discrimination is. How about that? But it’s always ‘We want to legalize pot.’”
Your guess is as good as mine Bob. These idiotic "touchy feely" so-called "libertarians" are completely foolish for trying to cozy up to the Idiot Left. I guess it doesn't occur to them that the "progressives" are only interested in making the state into a god and they will use any and all methods to achieve that goal.
DeleteI personally have no time for beta-simp sell outs and other useful idiots for the state.
Money, power, privilege, pretty women, free drinks, nice hotel rooms, subsidized professional existence, etc., etc.
DeleteYou know, if you’re a little more manly you would tell them what your position is on daily (hourly??) employment drug testing. Or your position on insurance companies charging dopers 4x the normal rate. Or not insuring them at all.
DeleteSo ... Ann Coulter doesn't believe people should be free to smoke pot? She believes that it is right to initiate force against those who light up, or simply possess something they might light up later? Or she just doesn't want to think straight on the subject so she needs a throw-away line.
DeleteCantwell has nailed it again.
ReplyDeleteAgree with most of it, but not his objection to Reason's position on the OkCupid thing. OkCupid is a private company expressing their viewpoint. Reason magazine was right to point that out.
ReplyDeleteExactly. I was thinking about this on the way home from work yesterday. This is exactly how a free society would develop a culture of tolerance. If you express an opinion that others find distasteful, you could be socially ostracized and lose your job because nobody wants to be around a bigot. If you don't want to play nice, you don't have a government lording over everyone else forcing them to accept and include you. A free society is a polite society.
DeleteI cancelled my subscription to Reason a few months back and the girl was all snotty on the phone.
ReplyDeleteReason still does have some great stuff every once in awhile. But yeah, sifting through the shameless (and as far as I can tell, completely ineffective) pandering to progressives is pretty annoying...
ReplyDeleteAll the more reason to believe in Lew Rockwell's genius when he made the call to locate the LVMI well away from DC. Very, very difficult not to get corrupted when hanging around the power elite.
ReplyDeleteWhat evidence do you have that Austrian economics is opposed to communes as you assert? I understand that as a science it isn't opposed to or for anything of the sort, rather it is the study of human action and the outcomes of human actions under various kinds of human relationships.
ReplyDeleteSocialist calculation problem. Pretty central Austrian idea. It's kind of a big deal.
Deletehttps://mises.org/econcalc.asp
I believe DB is correct. Austrian economists would say that communes, in general, don't work and why, but opposed to them? nope.
DeleteIf you think of Reason's total existence to keep Paleo-conservatives, Rockwellian libertarians and the thinking conservatives from forming a vanguard political movement called "The Old Right", you'd begin to see their usefulness to certain people inside the beltway.
ReplyDeleteFor example, Lew Rockwell is great on most every issue, but the deafening silence over open borders (especially when you read old issues of the Rothbard/Rockwell report, which were well-written, hilarious and spot on w/r/t to open borders folly), illustrates you can silence and break apart a potential marriage of those three factions. A shame, because as splinters, we are effectively powerless, just the way the corporate controllers of team red and team blue like it.
Now, throw in the a combined Old Right & Peaceful Left in against the War Party...and then you'd have something, right? This can't be allowed to happen. Reason is a useful tool to keep the proles in line.
" but the deafening silence over open borders "
DeleteIn a nuanced way, one has to wonder if a 'open borders' philosophy might technically undermine property rights.
Yes, the government as it's set up should own nothing-but then you have the problem of accepting government control as "legitimate" if you are for "open borders" under the current paradigm.
If you are seeking it under another paradigm, the only way you could be for "open borders" is if you accept some time of communal property if you hold property rights up.
Reason has always been libertarian lite and infuriating to me. I could never tolerate their positions. The three most important political issues are war, education and central banking and they are on the WRONG side on all three. In short, they aren't libertarian at all.
