| > This guy is apparently "alt-right"... Yeah, no. I mean, I don't know this guy from Bob, but the above has neither citation nor argument, and everything I've seen disagrees with that assessment. Skim the list of the board of advisors... https://www.persuasion.community/p/our-board Several names pop out - and not because they're alt-right / reactionaries / populist right-wingers. Some bios: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Applebaum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheri_Berman Again, I don't have any personal knowledge here, but it's interesting to consider, eg, this bit from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yascha_Mounk#Political_positio... > Mounk stated that he had changed his position on nationalism. He initially considered it a relic of the past that must be overcome, but he now advocates an "inclusive nationalism" to head off the threat of aggressive nationalism. On the German television newscast Tagesthemen, he stated that Germany is on a "historically unique experiment, namely to transform a mono-ethnic and monocultural democracy into a multi-ethnic one." I suppose words like "nationalism" and "mono-ethnic" might appear in an alt-right missive, but IMHO the above doesn't sound anything like an alt-right perspective. |
