  1. Un santo! Un apostolo!

    A un anno dalla morte di Charlie Kirk, mentre una parte dell’estrema destra occidentale lo trasforma in un idolo, in un martire e ormai quasi in un santino, sento il bisogno di ricordare che prima di diventare un’immagine sulle magliette e un nome da pronunciare con commozione alle convention c’era un uomo. E quell’uomo aveva delle idee. Parecchie. Alcune perfettamente legittime in una democrazia, altre decisamente meno presentabili. Il problema della santificazione è proprio questo: […]

  5. CPAC attendees this year included Greg Conte and Ryan Sanchez. Who are these people? Well...

    Greg Conte used to be Richard Spencer's right-hand man and, if I remember correctly, was maybe even his personal security organizer for a minute. The two had a falling out in 2018 as Spencer's arc was going into a sharp decline (something something rats something sinking ship). But Conte was very much at the heart of Spencer's circuit in 2017, when they both attended the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA.

    Two years later, Conte became a founding member of the overtly neo-nazi "National Justice Party". Conte flamed out of that as well about a year ago, burning every bridge behind him. But not because he's turned over a new leaf. No, it was just some interpersonal and/or money drama, which is the way things go with nazis an awful lot of the time. I honestly don't even remember the specifics, just that it seemed so cookie-cutter at the time. Still, that seems to have been something of a tipping point for NJP, as they had a whole series of high-end defections over the course of last year and by now they have ceased to exist. So maybe Greggy unintentionally did something good for once in his life.

    Anyways, according to the article, Conte went to a Young Republicans mixer at CPAC as part of a self-identified crew of neo-nazis who "mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed so-called 'race science' and antisemitic conspiracy theories."

    Sanchez was apparently part of his cohort. He's a former member of the Rise Above Movement (RAM), which is Rob Rundo's old crew and effectively a kind of precursor to today's Active Clubs and "white nationalism 3.0" framework. Sanchez doesn't seem to have attended United the Right with his RAM colleagues (he quit the group for unknown reasons about a month later), but he hasn't stopped being a giant shithead and has apparently been in Groyper circuits for several years.

    At any rate, CPAC has been an increasingly friendly place for these kinds of people for years, but the pretense seems to have largely gone away at this point. Sanchez was a credentialed attendee (it's unclear from the article whether Conte was, though I suspect that he wasn't, as they didn't comment on it). These people are known entities, and both organizers and attendees of any conference are responsible for keeping nazis out. CPAC is well past the point where they can claim this kind of thing is just "a few bad apples". It's part of their deal, and it's been part of their deal for a while.
