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.
