Milo Yiannopoulos to Tomi Lahren: the faces of America's young alt-Right pack.

[Fitheach]

There is a new breed of conservative, the Alt-right; they have their own brand of young icons turning people on to the far right. I guess in the days when Jon Stewart has left his post and Colbert has moved onto more mainstream projects, there are less firebrands to counter these types and gain the following. Most of the Daily Show have different projects, or have moved on to other TV comedy, but it seems the world of podcasts and youtube has proliferated with Alt-Right voices. And admittedly the show is not the same under Noah.

I know Tomi Lahren has some mainstream success and is mentioned, and obviously Yiannopoulos has forced his way into the world. I suppose its nice they have a more diverse crowd than Rush Limbaugh and the like.

The new ultra-conservatism has unexpected idols. Its messiahs are not middle-aged and blustering, they are young, articulate and presentable — and they are intelligent.

Some are women, gay, transgender, and — so far — they are mostly American. They are commentators, not politicians. They are literate with new media and use Twitter and YouTube deftly. Accordingly, they are sceptical of the MSM, their sneering shorthand for the “mainstream media”. They are smug and convincing.

Their influence is modest: as yet they do not hold office. However, Donald Trump’s election has changed the parameters of influence. He has taken a Right-wing shock jock — Steve Bannon, founder of conservative news site Breitbart — into the White House with him, meaning their older incarnations do, in fact, hold office.

Those who demur that engaging with this group is “giving them a platform” ignore the fact that they have already seized their own. This is what you need to know about the group that is already being termed the ‘fascie pack’.

Movements need leaders, and out of the swell notable stars have emerged. Of course, there is Milo Yiannopoulos, the arch celebrity of the movement. There is also 24-year-old talk show host Tomi (pronounced Tommy) Lahren, who transitioned into the liberal zeitgeist this week after she appeared on The Daily Show, a popular US evening show hosted by Trevor Noah. The pair sparred with the sort of energy only two diametric enemies can summon — Lahren was subsequently profiled in a piece by The New York Times, which called her “the Right’s rising media star”.

Good people.

The faces of the alt-right? A cartoon frog. The whole platform is just a reactionary counter to the liberals and alt-left. They spend less time creating new ideas and more effort into just bitching about how much liberals bitch. The 4chan party lol.

[JohnBrown1917]

Are we sure Milo is an alt rigther? Because a lot of alt rigthers hate him.

Good people.

>calling Neo-nazi good

oh you trumpers.

Alt-left? Is that something new the far right made up?

[Techno-Druid]

Both alongside PJW and Alex Jones give me migraines...

Can you at least try to act humble with your political views?

[kyoloco]

at least Milo is funny

Tomi is just way too angry for her age

[Thomasyo4]

The Radical Left and the Alt-Right, you guys deserve each other

[Celista]

Tomi Lahren just strikes me as someone who's rebelling against the youth culture as it relates to politics. Milo is a troll. I wouldn't describe either of them as alt-right.

[Mormolyce]

And yet many of them deny they are part of the alt-right, despite being poster boys for the movement.

The political movement that dare not speak its name.

[Kraenen]

Why are Milo and Tomi considered alt-right?

Now let's get them to debate alt-lefties on campuses.

Women are polished — they channel Ivanka Trump (not that she is a member of this movement, per se). Lahren has it down: smooth, tonged hair and slim-fitting A-line dresses. It is forgettable dressing: bland, American, sterile.

Sure, when you're actually attractive, you don't need blue hair, a face full of metal, and arm sleeves to try to distract from morbid obesity and a shitty attitude.

No matter how much you push it, that will not be a thing.

Milo has talent, he's good at what he does. He understands a target audience, and loves to piss people off. I find him to be completely useless, but he is damn good at angering thin-skinned liberals, and getting ignorant conservatives to lap up his every word.

Tomi Lahren is a piece of eye candy with resting bitch voice. She basically reads words from a teleprompter in a hateful manner... and nothing else. When she has to speak for herself, she looks like a typical sorority chick who is way out of her depth. People like my mother think she's a real straight shooter. People like my mother are ignorant fools.

Alt-right == racists.

There is no alt-right.

[Macaquerie]

Conservatives are always trying to look for fresh faces so that they can appear totally hip to the trend, yo, and appeal to younger voters, but the problem is that with Milo and Lahren, just like with all the other immaculately coiffed blondes that came before them, is that they're just basically just empty shells regurgitating talking points fed to them by their corporate paymasters. There just isn't anything edgy or rebellious about saying your prayers and eating your vitamins, throwing a bunch of stupid sound catch phrases and sending people to spam every comment section isn't going to change that.

Conservatives COULD have a solid message with young people if they were just fucking honest for once. The vast majority of people are not cool or edgy or fashionable, most of us are just boring everyday goofs trying to live a good, honest life despite every form of media out there telling us that if we aren't living out the script of a movie we're somehow doing it wrong. Appeal to THAT emotion and you'd get some real traction.

This is the alt-right:

who? also who cares? if she's anything like Milo her positions are laughable at best and cringey at worst.

[Garnier Fructis]

Tomi Lahren thinks climate and weather are the same thing, so she can't be that intelligent.
