Please no antisemitic reactions to this video and by that I mean absolutely nothing legitimately critical against Shapiro or anything he likes while he constantly states statistics about other groups and tells you that facts don't care about your feelings

On a serious note I am happy to see his current movement on drugs and marriage involving the government

Shapiro is an idiot who does this whole 'facts don't care about your feelings' schtick while proving consistently that he doesn't care about facts that don't match his feelings.
Rogen is, if I'm being charitable, a moron who believes in the whole 'free market of ideas' centrist memery that simply makes him a fashy bootlicker. Personally I think he knows what he's doing and is deliberately a propagandist for the alt-right just like Dave Rubin. Wouldn't be surprised to find out he's also bankrolled by the Kochs. Functionally though - he's at best a collaborator.

The best shaprio is when he is on Rogan or with Harris

he is pretty terrible on his own personality wise in his studio ranting at the camera and laughing at his own distasteful jokes by himself but with friends he respects the environment is much better and the conversations are quality

what do you define as the alt-right? I always thought they were the white ethnostate race realists and not much more would define their platform

Sure - unfortunately they are pretty widespread and their ideas are deeply rooted in general conservatism. Just listen to Shapiro talk about black people and how racism doesn't exist in the US (before instantly backpeddling and admitting it does exist but isn't institutional) for example. The problem with defining the alt-right purely as open nazis is that they don't even define themselves that way. They hide ther power level to spread their ideas among centrists 'liberals' and conservatives until we get to where we are now with people like Sargon of Akkad declaring themselves liberal and making white supremacist arguments.

I think it's fair to call someone alt-right if they share a substantial amount of the opinions that underpin white nationalism. A lot of the people, like Laura Southern and Jordan Peterson, who touch on fascistic arguments are happy making descriptive claims about different minority groups but shy away from the normative claims. Peterson especially is a real pussy.

that was a surprisingly coherent answer. By your definition I am alt-right then.

I mean I don't know what arguments you make. If you're all about the great replacement memes then yea.

I mean... Only the ones that identify with white supremacist or fascist ideas.

But I understand you're probably not... Even if you are currently using the old fascistic reductio ad absurdum of 'the left just calls everyone alt right'. You don't have to be a radical leftist to not be a Nazi. You just have to not identify with fascistic ideas.
Or is it your argument that everyone but Tankies, Trots and Maoists believes in the great replacement?
