If the alt-right were trying to show off their ‘populism’ by gathering in Washington, D.C. for the one year anniversary of the deadly Unite The Right rally, this weekend was a total embarrassment for the fascist movement.
On Sunday, as approximately two dozen white nationalists larped around the nation’s capital celebrating the deaths of counter-protester Heather Heyer and two U.S. soldiers last year, a resistance march against the alt-right managed to grow to a crowd of hundreds, all denouncing white supremacy, racism and the far-right’s hailing of murder as a victory.
According to a new report from The BBC, over 400 fascists were expected to attend the sequel rally in D.C., however, it seems the alt-right activists decided to abandon their white brothers in arms, opting to hide behind their keyboards and 4Chan forums for the evening instead.
This weak turnout was to be expected, of course, despite the uproar made by mainstream media last week about a purported “surge” in bitcoin crypto-donations to outlets like notable neo-nazi rag “The Daily Stormer” ahead of the rally.
At last year’s Unite the Right rally, a hundred members of the alt-right movement gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia to denounce the City Council’s removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, erected during the height of the civil rights movement to intimidate local minority citizens.
It was a shocking event garnering non-stop media coverage, spawning vicious anarcho-street battles between ANTIFA and white supremacist groups, resulting in a much-criticized bipartisan denouncement of violence from the president.
2018, by comparison, proved the alt-right are no political powerhouse. Instead, they’re just an embarrassing fringe who rarely leave their darkened bedrooms.
As reported by Zack Beauchamp, senior editor of Vox, Daniel is one of the few white nationalists to actually attend Unite The Right D.C. rally. This scrawny newly 19-years-old believes in what he calls a “peaceful cleansing” of both the Latino and Black populations from the U.S. to preserve his praised master-race.
What a sweetheart.
