Those who stand with the non-aggression principle and free will, regardless of their "grouping", need to stand up to them.
I am not a Libertarian and think NAP is silly.

What's silly about it?

Leave other people alone, and they leave you alone, seems to make sense. The only people "opposed" to this line of thinking are the usual suspects, or people who feel entitled to what others have.

Yes, the alt-left will be a combination of social democratic, democratic socialist, environmentalist, minority rights, and Marxist groups.

Trolling Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube is hardly "underground", and racism, isolationism, xenophobia, and nativism are nothing new.

Will there be an "alt left" that emerges from the rubble and is more "in touch" with everyday people?
I doubt it. Hasn't been a "left" in the USA since 1968, Sanders was a pale imitation. A lot of bark and no bite.

I believe in pre-emptive strikes.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

if we had dismantled the leftist academia-industrial complex years ago we'd be in a much better place now.

see the way this works is, the left comes up with strange scary names for people that don't do their bidding, then make a big deal out of it even though its really nothing at all.


So they aren't likely to be suggesting any "alt-left" because that sound scary.

There already is an alt-left but people are too blind to see it and the media won't call them out because they are part of it. They call themselves "Progressives".

No there won't be because the left has played itself out with 50 years indoctrination that people finally got sick and tired of.
