A couple of excerpts:

The problems have been mounting: lawsuits and arrests, fundraising difficulties, tepid recruitment, widespread infighting, fierce counterprotests, and banishment from social media platforms. Taken together, they’ve exhausted even some of the staunchest members.

One of the movement’s biggest groups, the Traditionalist Worker Party, dissolved in March. Andrew Anglin, founder of the Daily Stormer, the largest alt-right website, has gone into hiding, chased by a harassment lawsuit. And Richard Spencer, the alt-right’s most public figure, canceled a college speaking tour and was abandoned by his attorney last month.

“Things have become a lot harder, and we paid a price for what happened in Charlottesville. . . . The question is whether there is going to be a third act,” said Spencer, who coined the name of the movement, which rose to prominence during the 2016 presidential campaign; advocates a whites-only ethno-state; and has posted racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic memes across the Internet.

Dear God, YOU paid a price in Charlotte?

The alt-right “is on a downward spiral, but it doesn’t mean they’re going to disappear and that they’re not going to regroup,” said Marilyn Mayo, who studies hate groups for the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism. She said one large group called Identity Evropa — which targets college-age men, is less extreme in rhetoric and has turned away from the alt-right label — has grown recently.

“The overall level of racism in U.S. society hasn’t improved, it’s just that the organizing space for these types of networks” has largely been depleted, said Schiano, whose group rose out of Occupy Wall Street and documents social protests. “So the latent potential won’t go away unless society becomes less racist.”

Oh and this is just everything you need to know:

"The Traditionalist Worker Party, which at its height operated in at least eight states and had about 1,200 paying members, according to its leaders, also collapsed last month. It was perhaps the most institutionally organized of all the groups making up the alt-right. It had a clear hierarchy: Paying members reported to regional commanders, who in turn reported to the top leaders living in a trailer park in Paoli, Ind., where everything came apart last month.

The dynamic between co-founders Matt Parrott and Matthew Heimbach has always been unconventional. Heimbach is married to Parrott’s stepdaughter from a former marriage, and the two men lived in neighboring trailers, where they promoted traditional gender roles in addition to white-supremacist beliefs."

According to a police report obtained by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Heimbach began sleeping with Parrott’s wife. In early March, the two told Parrott and Heimbach’s wife that the three-month affair was over. But days later, according to the police report, a plan was concocted to catch them in the act. Parrott was outside, standing atop a box, watching Heimbach and Parrott’s wife through a window when the box broke. His cover presumably blown, Parrott went to confront Heimbach, who allegedly choked him, according to the police report.. Parrott lost consciousness, then fled to a Walmart, where he called police, who reported that Heimbach appeared to have violently grabbed his own wife’s face.

Heimbach was charged with felony domestic battery, the Traditionalist Worker Party disintegrated, and Parrott, speaking on the phone earlier this month, sounded different than the triumphant white supremacist who in the days after the Charlottesville rally promised that he and the alt-right were here to stay.

I told the bugaboo was irrelevant.

Oh good, the only extreme group left to be organized is AntiFa. I'm sure that won't end badly.

Not in a massive way.

I think of Trevor Noah's piece on Antifa as one which summarizes the organization for me.

A bunch of nerds dressed like Ghost Recon characters pissed off at the Nazis claiming anime and video games for themselves. Which given the Alt-Right is a kind of bastardized 4chan troll gone political, is kind of weirdly appropriate.

In the US? Maybe half right, but in Europe it is much more than that, and thanks to the Communist root of AntiFa, they are international in both location and organization.

Way to be an AntiFa apologist by suggesting that all they are doing is reacting to something (that's a lie progressivism has been seeping into all media including games for a while now) and there by implicitly justifying their actions. Also nice jab at most gamers and Gamer Gate by associating them with Nazi's.

Don't know a thing about Antifa in Europe. I only know the American branch from news reports like Trevor Noah's.

Yes, I'm taking a pot shot at gamers on SF Debris while running a game review website. Clearly, I hate them and all they stand for. *end sarcasm* But yes, I'll take pot shots at Gamergate the movement all the live long day long. From goals to bullying and trolling activity by members.

As for the Alt-Right and Gamergate having collusion?

Article 1# (CNET)

Article 2# (CBC)

Article 3# (NBC)

There's plenty more on the net.

But yes, to head off objections, any Gamergater who isn't a member of the Alt-Right, racist, abusive to other gamers (or people in general), or a misogynist is fine by me.
