Very, very scary though it is, I think I need to flag this Guardian article dealing with the rise of the so-called ‘alt-right’ in america up. In this day and age, I had thought racism and the whole concept of racial difference had died out, utterly discredited, but these people are trying to revive it. They claim not only does race exist, but there is a correlation between race and intelligence. Anyone who has even glanced at the data, as I did back in A-Level psychology, knows that such a position is absurd, yet not only does this group claim such a link exists, but it has been repressed by mainstream science.

I don’t think we can ignore such people. Their rise is symptomatic of a growing deep distrust of mainstream politics, both here and in america. White working class people are starting to resent the privileges they perceive minorities getting.”The founding myth of the alt-right is that the disadvantaged groups in American politics are actually running things through a combination of fraud and intimidation. By doing this, they’re actually oppressing white men.” We have seen that here in the growing popularity of people like farage. I worry that such people seek to turn back time to a point when society was less equal and discrimination was the norm; they seem to resent the progress made to equality and pluralism. As this group gets more and more traction, with fools like Trump validating their insane views, I think that is surely something we should all be very, very concerned about.
