Wow. Just because I believe that the government is an immoral actor or believe in 'conspiracy theories' like 9-11 being an inside job does not make me a white supremacist. Actually this type of belief system is just as common, probably more common actually, among non-whites.


view as:

I was going to do a ton of research pointing to the correlation between people who believe the same things as you do and share the commonality of "red pill"/"alt-right" ideology

But I think the Duck Test applies here

"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck"

The argument above would seem to be a case of re-duck-tio ad hitlerum.

True. But anti-feminism, white supremacy and the beliefs being described are fundamentally, conspiracy theories, and the culture of conspiracy theory does tend to embrace these ideologies. The sets may not overlap perfectly, but they do overlap.

It's not hard to find someone who believes that 9/11 was an inside job and who also blames it on a Jewish conspiracy. That sort of thing is so common as to be banal.
