Richard Spencer

The alt-right is celebrating the ruling of a judge to allow Richard Spencer the right to speak at a university and their recent clashes with antifascist protests as victories for their movement and as the deligitimization of their opponents.

We just achieved a great victory, said white nationalist Spencer in a YouTube video before his appearance, speaking about the judges ruling. It was certainly a great victory for the alt-right.

Alt-right supporters rallied around Spencer ahead of his talk, which was also livestreamed online and looked forward to the possibility of confronting antifascists, or antifa, demonstrators, as they had days ago in Berkeley.

Please come prepared take some pointers from what the boys did in Berkeley, said an alt-right vlogger known as Continental Concious. They did a fantastic job.

Antifa scum waited to jump a goy after everyone else was inside, white nationalist blogger Hunter Wallace wrote on Twitter, sharing a video of a clash at Auburn.

Goy is a perjorative for non-Jew that has a pejorative connotation. The alt-right has appropriated the word and uses it to describe themselves.
