media really made this guy an overnight celebrity, jesus fukking christ
thing is about richard spencer, he's not as stupid as most people wish he was....but he's a lot stupider than he thinks he is. He's a lightweight "intellectual" who is thoroughly out of depth when compared with anyone with any kind of philosophy background. His whole shtick is re-presenting some of Nietzsche's loonier theories and other fascist ideologies that were last taken seriously in academic settings at the turn of the 20th century. You can tell he's an intellectual lightweight because he makes no bones about the fact that he's racist. No real analytic philosophy can use racism as a cornerstone because racism is utterly, fundamentally irrational
At the end of the day the guy is a failed academic, a lousy ideologue, and a weak nerd.
