I´ve tried to create new categories for people deported from Iceland and Hungary
so please don´t delete them, even though they´re currently highlighted in red I think an administrator needs to approve them. StrongALPHA (talk) 09:49, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
It is my opinion that the Antisemitism sidebar should be removed
Not because he hasn´t said a number of Antisemitic thing, but because it is not even a prominent element within a his writtings or ideology from what I can tell. StrongALPHA (talk) 10:08, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
This is partly because i do not view him as neo nazi (to addres @TrickshotsBSYT point at the top), someone who is inspired by the German Conservative Revolution and various strands of fascism, but Neonazi is a far too narrow way of framing his ideological outlook. StrongALPHA (talk) 10:11, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
I strongly disagree with this suggestion. The man is an openly anti-Semitic white supremacist and, contrary to the personal opinion of StrongALPHA there are reliable sources that describe him as a neo-nazi. Regardless being a neo-nazi is not the only way in which a conservative ethno-nationalist might be an active force of antisemitism. Simonm223 (talk) 12:12, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
It also does not support the claim that he "supports" biden and is against the "alt-right" now. The quoted source is a random right-wing opinion/blog article. PhDaemon (talk) 08:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
I assume you mean this source, which is published by Tablet (magazine) in their 'News & Politics' section. This doesn't appear to be a opinion piece, and the author, Joshua Tait, is a PhD historian who has contributed to published academic work specifically on far-right politics in the US (ISBN9780190877590). Here's the specific relevant quote from the source: In that respect, evolution has mirrored the strange career of Spencer who, in the wake of Charlottesville, has attempted to distance himself from his leadership of the alt-right, rebranding himself with public statements attacking Trump, and voicing support for NATO and the Biden White House. The current wording in the article seems like a reasonable summary of this source. Grayfell (talk) 23:14, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
I don't know of any reliable sources that could be used to update the article, but it still feels outdated to me. My only intention with the tag was informing the reader rather than spurring potential edits. Thanks. CzarJobKhaya (talk) 23:44, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
