Last week ’s violent , unhinged white supremacist exchange in Charlottesville , Virginia , whichculminated in a brat attackwhich killed Heather Heyer and wounded dozens of others , seems to have leave the digital far - right in a sorry state indeed .
A “ Free Speech Rally ” in Boston which days ago was makingcity officials nervousit could be a repeat end in total embarrassment on Saturday . CNN report just a few dozen attendees face up off againstthousands upon thousands of counter - objector ; the right - winger found themselves so outnumbered they canceled the rally early on and left under law guard .
Participants did n’t realize “ how unwitting of an issue it was go to be , ” congressional candidate Samson Racioppitold WCVB - TV . “ I really think it was supposed to be a good event by the organizer but it kind of fell apart . ”

As theAnti - Defamation League noted , the organizers behind this particular rally were not quite the host of “ alt - right ” Klansmen , Nazis , livid supremacists and neo - Confederates that wrecked Charlottesville .
or else , it was a bevy of crypto - fascist “ alt tripping ” social medium personalities let in Proud Boys “ military annexe ” member Augustus Invictus , “ Hip Hop Patriot ” Jeremy Herrell and former InfoWars contributor and Pizzagate ringleader Joe Biggs . Also on the lean was Kyle Chapman , who became pseudo - famous after a video of him beating an anti - fascist militant with a stick went viral .
These people can no longer show their faces offline anymore without being mobbed — they’re all eithertoo scared of acquire doxxedor busyfuriously backpedalingnow that their entire movement is associated with the defenseless terrorism on exhibit in Charlottesville . Far - right digital personalities likeTim Gionet ( parched Alaska)andMillennial Mattare no longer able-bodied to get away with explain away shouting neo - national socialist slogans and carrying flannel mullein as sarcasm - laden troll , sure as shooting now that the movement hassmashed into realness .
candidly , it looks like the alt - light hoi polloi are now also being agnise for what they are : If not racists themselves , a gaggle of yelp fiend that serve as their de facto partner in crime .
At least for today , that means both the hardcore alt - right-hand white supremacist and their alt - light clique following are being drive back online to 4chan , 8chan , Breitbart - style medium clone and the seedier wings of Twitter . Coupled with legion crackdowns on the far - right field movement ’s ability toorganize and fundraise online , this will also damage thesmall cottage industryin grifting it ’s spawn . It ’s not the sparkle at the end of the burrow yet , but thing just got a batch hard for these folks .
