Alt-Right Activist On State Of The Movement: We Are Fucked

Colin Robertson, a Scottish alt-right activist who operates online under the pseudonym “Millennial Woes,” succinctly summed up the current state of the racist alt-right movement amid ongoing infighting and splintering, saying in a video he posted last week: “We are fucked.”

Last year, we identified Robertson as a racist right-wing extremist using YouTube to recruit people to the white nationalist alt-right movement. Robertson has spoken at numerous white nationalist conferences, including most recently at “Etnofutur II” in Estonia, and is one of a handful of internet activists who continue to fly the “alt-right” banner at a time when most others have attempted to create distance between themselves and the notorious racist movement.

In a video uploaded late last week, Robertson sat in front of his camera wearing a bathrobe and chain-smoking cigarettes while he mused about the state of the alt-right in 2018. Near the end of the video, Robertson declared that in 2018, the alt-right is “fucked.”

“The alt-right, the ethno-nationalists, the identitarians, the far-right, the extreme-right, the reactionaries—we are not in a good way,” Robertson said.

I wonder if they're planning on taking out as many of the people they hate (Which is everybody not them) as they are circling the drain.

4. I'd rather they just take themselves out and not take anyone else with them.

5. We all know *that* is not going to happen. They have to make everyone else as miserable as they are.

That seems to be the imperative behind most of these guys, mass shooters, aggrieved white males in general.

6. This seems to be a phenomenon that affects Neonazis in general:

Despite all their talk about race and brotherhood and freedom, they actually want to rule over others without being ruled over.
They detest democracy and equal rights, because that means compromise and not always getting what you want.

For example, I can list 6 german Neonazi-parties at the top of my head. They are fighting over the same segment of voters, simply because nobody wants to step aside and let others take the lead.

As for the Alt-Right, they are trolls. They love to fight organization and establishment. And they just can't suppress their instincts to fight their own organization and their own establishment.

The emergence of Trump guaranteed them a decade of renewed protection from whatever's left of the GOP. They're not "fucked," because they were never anything more than tools of the corporate Right.
