The Unite the Right 2 rally is in the books. I think it is safe to say that the rally went as well as we could have hoped. Police did their job safely escorting Jason Kessler and his group to the park where they delivered a few speeches in front of the media. Nobody died and there were no violent clashes like we saw last year in Charlottesville.
Kessler’s group was funny. He had a black MC and a few other non-Whites with him. There may have been around 20 people there but that’s just an estimate. The rally was basically an Alt-Lite type of free speech event advocating for the civil rights of all races including Whites.
Kessler actually did a really good job explaining what really happened in Charlottesville to the media. He also articulated his political positions convincingly. He definitely deserves credit for having the courage to go through with something like this regardless of what you think of him personally.
I did not agree with what he said about the Alt-Right and Nazis though. He said that we weren’t funny and seemed a bit upset that we didn’t back this rally. But he also implied that he didn’t want us to be associated with it. It’s hard to have it both ways. He’s wrong about us not being funny though. We are very funny.
That’s a minor complaint though.
But honestly, the fact that we disengaged from this event resulted in the best possible outcome. The Jewish establishment poured an untold amount of resources into bringing thousands of mentally deranged people out into the streets to protest White supremacists and Nazis. And when Kessler and his group showed up it became impossible to square the two. Kessler relatively speaking is a political moderate and he had non-Whites in his group. They are not White supremacists and they are not Nazis. And let’s not forget that black MC! lol It was effectively a troll regardless of if that was the original intention or not.
The leftists who showed up revealed to the world just how insane they are. There were anti-fascists who ended up assaulting police and media in Charlottesville. And the ones who showed up in Washington DC behaved just as erratically.
The average person looking at this is going to look at the Communists that came out as a bunch of unhinged people who deserve to be locked up.
The good news is that the only narrative the media could push was talking about the disparity in numbers. But it’s not like we supported the rally so it’s disingenuous for them to say that the movement is dead based on the numbers.
The end result was a net positive because the anti-fascists and Communists acted insane. Some of them threatened violence. Overall, you could argue that the event was a net positive but for reasons I certainly did not expect.
