,” Daniel Lombroso’s lively and disturbing documentary portrait of three alt-right influencers, there’s a riveting scene in which Richard Spencer, a rock star of white nationalism who talks like a noodgy corporate assistant and has meticulous gelled hair that’s supposed to be his designer version of a Hitler fade , is getting ready to give a speech at Michigan State University.
In addition to Richard Spencer, the film follows the activities of Lauren Southern, a Canadian-born alt-right rabble-rouser who, at the time the film was shot, was in her early twenties; with her silky and highly personable demeanor, she suggests the Gwyneth Patrow of the ’90s playing Ann Coulter’s little sister.
By that, I don’t mean to make light of the subject. The people at the center of this movie are vicious and dangerous fanatics, with a “philosophy” that represents nothing less than an assault on the humanist spirit of the Western world. Yet they’re also fools, charlatans, and transparent hucksters. They don’t just turn hate into a brand. They hawk it like a product.
Mike Cernovich, for one, is critical of Spencer’s extremist vibe, because he thinks it marginalizes the cause. Cernovich is closer to being a bro version of Steve Bannon, working to make white nationalism presentable to the mainstream. But the fact that he’s less dogmatic about it makes him seem like an opportunist who has latched onto the alt-right as a marketing ploy. His wife is Iranian-American, a fact that would appear to contradict much of what he stands for.
