We were Alt Right before it was cool (featuring TheTruthWillLive)

Walt Right Perspectives - Episode #91

Today’s episode of Walt Right Perspectives is a real blast from the past, because for the first time in nearly a decade I got the chance to catch up with TheTruthWillLive, who was a good Twitter friend of mine during the early-to-peak Alt Right era of 2015-2016 (I even briefly mentioned her in my retrospective of the movement last year).

Back in the day TTWL was mostly notable for her YouTube channel, where she discussed her journey from libtard hipster to reactionary with ethnat sympathies.

At the time she was struggling with whether she should embrace her Ashkie heritage and become a committed Orthodox Jew, but she’s since married a WASP and is now a TradCath mother of four. These days she maintains a considerably more normie internet presence making content for moms, leveraging her hipster art hoe background in service of wholesome wheatfield vibes.


Topics:

  • TTWL’s experience watching Hailgate occur at NPI 2016

  • Is there a Jew-to-Tradcath Pipeline?

  • Hailgate was when people stopped wanting to call themselves Alt Right

  • Richard Spencer was the only one who could have led the Alt Right

  • Was Hailgate a publicity stunt to increase salience?

  • The AR was high status and got favorable press coverage in 2015 and early 2016

  • How the AR emerged from NRx, libertarianism, the manosphere, and Gamergate

  • Being on Twitter in late 2015 was like being in Vienna in the early 20th century

  • Racist libertarians and helicopter memes

  • How TRS meme’d themselves into embracing the substantive positions behind an extreme sort of rhetoric ironically adopted to be edgy

  • Why the Alt Right heavily leaned on Jewish humor

  • Has Jewish dual morality / dual loyalty lessened since the mid 2010s?

  • Does Ben Shapiro consider himself Jewish first? Does he think of himself as white? What about the average right wing American Jew?

  • Power dynamics between Jews and flyover chuds have mostly reversed compared to during the Bush Era

  • Matt Walsh now sounds like Jared Tared circa 2015

  • Did Matt Walsh rip off Gavin McInnes’s whole deal?

  • How her fondness for Jim Goad’s writing brought TTWL into right wing spaces

  • Why did artsy / hipster culture become so aggressively gay in 2014?

  • TTWL’s youthful participation in hardcore punk bands

  • Are we having a “Reagan moment” wherein it’s no longer uncool for young people to be conservative?

  • The decline of the monoculture into isolated subcultures where authenticity is destroyed through performative feedback loops

  • Compared to the peak Alt Right the Dissident Right has a lot more mothers and wives but substantially fewer cute single girls

  • Are people drawn to heterodox right wing movements hyper-normal or really eccentric? Can temperamentally contrarian people actually be drawn to virtue by dint of living in a degenerate / cucky / gay society?

  • TTWL’s brief participation in a podcast with Luke Ford

  • Has Substack already overtaken Twitter in influence?

  • TTWL could have been a Red Scare girl had she came around a few years later

  • Crazy rumors about Dasha’s past in California

  • TTWL caused a minor stir in racist Twitter in late 2015 and inspired Walter to white knight for her against his purity spiraling neon nazi frens

  • Does TTWL think Walt comes off as Jew-coded?

  • Walt’s theory of the digital media bubble artificially ramping up the salience of the Jewish Question in the mid-2010s (Schlomo Shekelstein Buzzfeed articles)

  • Actual elite Jews like Matt Yglesias generally try to repress antiwhite tendencies in the Demon Rat coalition; it’s Jewish failsons who overtly hate wypipo

  • The Midwest has less inoculation against degeneracy than the coasts

  • FtM transgenderism as self-harm / the impulse to desexualize oneself

  • Anorexia has become a right-coded countercultural impulse for women
