It seems goofy, because it is, but that's the whole m.o of the alt-right. At its core its all about using memes, cartoonish internet culture, etc as a means to soften their actual message, which is just good old fashioned right-wing hate, racism, white supremacy, misogyny, etc. And its rise in society shows just how effective this strategy has been. One of the guys the article mentions Fantano had on his podcast managed to parlay this relatively innocuous alt right bs into his own TV show on Adult Swim. It was supposed to be just another of their weird, Tim and Eric-style push the boundaries of what is comedy and what is just random nonsense. After a few episodes, Adult Swim apparently realized all the little slick alt-right shyt and cancelled it.
Again these are examples of the broad strategy being employed by these "red pill" losers. Say its just a joke or you were in character, or its just a meme, dont take it so seriously, its free speech you guys. Meanwhile the underlying message of hate spreads to dummies who dont know any better. That is the plan, pun intended.
This is actually a good point. But you're gonna have to give receipts on when Fantano was doing some alt-right signalling because I have yet to see it. He seems pretty cut and dry liberal who reacted to the feminists like most people did. I have yet to see any white supremacy signalling, misogyny, or racism from him, or even a veiled form of it. He clowned XXX and Hopsin for the same reason any coli poster would, they're cornballs.
