'''Richard Bertrand Spencer''' {{lived|1978}} is ''neither'' a Nazi nor alt-right, but simply in favor of white identity politics (if one believes Spencer<ref name=baron/>{{rp|225}}).

In June 2022, Spencer reinvented himself as a "political moderate" and a [[centrist]] on "most issues" including abortion rights and [[gun control]], he put NATO and Ukrainian flags on his twitter account to make him look like an EU liberal. although he uses pro-[[eugenics]] as a large basis for many of his current opinions.

Richard Spencer has said many non-Nazi things, non-Nazily. 

{{quotebox|Today, in the public imagination, “ethnic-cleansing” has been associated with civil war and mass murder (understandably so).

{{quotebox|What blocks our progress is the meme that has been carefully implanted in White people’s minds over the course of decades of programming, from Mississippi Burning to Lee Daniel's The Butler — that any kind of positive racial feeling among Whites is inherently evil and stupid and derives solely from bigotry and resentment.

{{quotebox|Europeans have been a source of light, strength, and vitality for the world over. It is European technology and medicine that have raised peoples out of squalor; it is the European scientific discipline that defines serious discourse and scholarship; it is European ideals of beauty that still reign supreme (despite the best efforts of critics like Ms. Sontag).

In this way, the dispossession of White Americans will have catastrophic effects for the entire world, not just for our people.

"It's that powerful."<br><br>

'''We are well into our third round of Arrogant Frog, a merlot that Spencer chose because its name reminds him of Pepe''', the cartoon frog commandeered as a mascot by the "alt-right" movement that has been thrust from the shadows by Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

And here's an article published on Spencer's website, titled "Is Black Genocide Right?"<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120216183528/http:/www.alternativeright.com/main/the-magazine/is-black-genocide-right Is Black Genocide Right?] ''Alternative Right'' 14 February 2012 (Archived from the original on 16 February 2012)</ref>

{{quotebox|Instead of asking how we can make reparations for [[slavery]], [[colonialism]], and [[Apartheid]] or how we can equalize academic scores and incomes, we should instead be asking questions like, "Does human civilization actually need the Black race?" "Is Black genocide right?" and, if it is, "What would be the best and easiest way to dispose of them?" With starting points like this, wisdom is sure to flourish, enlightenment to dawn.

This might seem shocking to the usual gang of idiots, but right now very similar questions are being booted about and nobody seems to be batting an eye, all because the questions refer to White South Africans: "Does South Africa actually need the White race?" "Is White genocide right?" and "How many of the White devils do we have to rape, kill, mutilate, and bugger before the rest of them fuck off?"

[The article then spends 3 paragraphs supporting the [[South African genocide conspiracy]] theory.]

But why should Whites even be in a position where we are forced to consider such a possibility? The White race is history's victor. We conquered Africa and the Africans on the sheer merit of the superiority of our race, culture, and society, and in a land that was largely going to waste we built an affluent and modern society capable not only of supporting a large number of our own people but also a vastly larger number of Blacks than would otherwise have been able to survive there. Of course, Black labour helped, but if that hadn’t been there, we would have imported White, Indian, or Chinese labour and have done the job anyway.

Rather than asking about White genocide, it surely makes more sense by any objective standards of utility, morality, or progress, to ask whether there should be such a thing as Black genocide.

This is not just a tit-for-tat idea either. In the changing nature of the New South Africa, which is still essentially a collection of White-created-and-maintained institutions being gradually but inexorably Africanized – i.e. corrupted, ground down, and barbarized—we see the true nature of the society that will emanate from the continuing exaltation of the Black man; a world of savagery, disease, and death, replenished by a wild, thoughtless fertility; a world that will set no store on the higher values that have characterized the civilizations created by other races.

Although there are doubtless many South African Blacks who behave in ways that we could call decent, we have to wonder how much of this is real and not affected, when savagery of the worst possible kind seems to constantly lurk under the surface in even the most banal of situations.

[The article then spends 3 more paragraphs supporting the [[South African genocide conspiracy]] theory.]

Maybe it’s unfair to tar every Black in South Africa with the genocidal tar brush, but the support the majority have given to the ANC at least allows a reasonable case to be made for the kind of collective racial guilt that also serves as the basis of the ANC’s efforts to pull Whites down to the level where they can be raped, sodomized, murdered and mutilated.}}

===Spencer on women===
In countless interviews, Spencer has promoted the notion that female sexual liberation creates a "bottleneck" which stratifies access to [[sex]] and improves society through informal eugenics.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvb_onSIurM Destiny & Richard Spencer Debate Race, Religion, Andrew Tate, Joe Biden & More] from the [[YouTube]] channel ''No Jumper'' 6 March 2023</ref>

Spencer has stated, "Women should never be allowed to make foreign policy. It's not that they're 'weak.' To the contrary, their vindictiveness knows no bounds." in reference to [[Hillary Clinton]]'s 2016 candidacy for president.<ref name=hayden>[https://www.newsweek.com/alt-right-leader-richard-spencer-isnt-sure-if-women-should-be-allowed-vote-685048 Women Shouldn't Have the Right to Vote, Says 'Alt-Right' Leader Richard Spencer] by Michael Edison Hayden (Oct 14, 2017) ''Newsweek''.</ref> Concurrently with his statement, Spencer's then-wife was helping him write editorials at the National Policy Institute.<ref name=reeve>''Black Pill: How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society, and Capture American Politics'' by Elle Reeve (2024) ISBN 1982198893.</ref><ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/07/10/black-pill-elle-reeve-review/ ‘Black Pill’ is a disturbing look at how ‘meme magic’ captured the GOP: Elle Reeve’s deeply reported book explores the slippery irony and dangerous absurdities at the heart of what was once the alt-right and is now Trump’s Republican Party.] by Becca Rothfeld (July 10, 2024 at 4:23 p.m. EDT) ''The Washington Post''.</ref>

Spencer was also somewhat opposed to [[Women's suffrage|women voting]], saying, "I don't necessarily think that that's a great thing."<ref name=hayden/>

===Democrat?===
In 2020, Richard Spencer came out and endorsed [[Joe Biden]] for the November 2020 presidential election, saying that the "[[Donald Trump|MAGA]]/[[Alt-Right]] moment is over" and that "we need to recover and return in a new form."<ref>[https://www.newsweek.com/richard-spencer-joe-biden-trump-maga-1527141 "Richard Spencer Backs Joe Biden, Says 'MAGA/Alt-Right Moment is Over'"] by Ewan Palmer, Newsweek, 2020 August 24</ref> The Biden campaign forcefully disavowed this endorsement.<ref>[https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-campaign-disavows-richard-spencer-endorsement-2020-8 'Absolutely repugnant': Biden's campaign forcefully disavows an endorsement from neo-Nazi Richard Spencer] by Sonam Smith, Business Insider, 2020 August 24</ref> Nevertheless, this has been used by wingnut media to try to smear Joe Biden and his campaign as having, somehow, an "embarrassing" double standard because they condemned white supremacy in Charlottesville and are now condemning white supremacy.<ref>O'Neil, T.

Retrieved August 27, 2020.</ref>

Spencer claims he had a political and intellectual rebirth sometime around or after the time he got sued for the Unite the Right rally. He now states he dislikes populism and that race supremacy politics are not worthwhile due to risk of violence. He also disliked the Trump era as being "lawless". He claims he appreciates the Democratic Party's lurch toward elitism. He claims most of the positions he holds are moderate liberal positions, such as pro-abortion and anti-gun-rights, but he defends much of his positions on the basis of eugenics.

During 2023, Spencer announced on a right-wing podcast that he "intends to vote for Joe Biden again". In the same interview, he stated his least favorite potential candidate is Ron Desantis, who he regards as too average, and also a sociopath.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOMgfxGi2QU Richard Spencer, Stardust, Adam Green | Debate Panel | Host: Killstream | 2023-03-25] from the [[YouTube]] channel ''AɴɢᴇʟDᴜsᴛ'' 1 May 2023</ref>

Spencer endorsed [[Kamala Harris]] in August 2024 and said he was voting for her.<ref>https://archive.ph/3IxaE</ref>  However, after seeing the Democratic National Convention, Spencer mused about endorsing Trump instead.<ref>Richard Spencer (August 22, 2024).

==Everything's ''not'' gonna be alt-reich==
To no one's surprise, Spencer's not-Nazi statements and not-Nazi actions have managed to irritate a few people along the way.

===Lawsuit loser===
Spencer and his ''National Policy Institute'' played an active role helping to organize the [[Unite the Right]] rally in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 2017.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170807192054/http://www.nbc29.com/story/35996322/charlottesville-groups-send-out-call-to-action-against-upcoming-rally "Charlottesville Groups Send Out 'Call to Action' Against Upcoming Rally"], NBC29, 2017 July 28, archived at archive.org on 2017 August 7</ref><ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/16/obituaries/william-h-regnery-ii-dead.html "William H.

One of those who suffered severe life-crippling injuries from the Fields incident was a man named Bill Burke, who proceeded to sue multiple far-right individuals and organizations involved in the rally. In early May 2021, due to Spencer's active role in organizing the incident, a federal judge ordered the ''National Policy Institute'' to pay $2.4 million to Burke.<ref>[https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2021/05/06/right-wing-think-tank-ordered-pay-ohio-man-hurt-rally-2-4-m/4970318001/ "Richard Spencer-led group ordered to pay $2.4 million to Ohio counterprotester struck by car at Charlottesville rally"] by Andrew Welsh-Huggins, Associated Press, 2021 May 6</ref>

===Exiled town wanderer===
Richard Spencer lives part-time in a small Rocky Mountains resort town called {{wpl|Whitefish, Montana|Whitefish|,}} [[Montana]], which is better known for being a gateway to {{wpl|Glacier National Park (U.S.)|Glacier National Park}} than any sort of not-Nazi ideology. Even as early as 2014, the presence of Spencer and his ''National Policy Institute'' offices irked the town, who responded to his noxious presence by unanimously passing a resolution supporting diversity and tolerance.<ref>[https://flatheadbeacon.com/2014/12/02/whitefish-council-adopts-resolution-supporting-diversity-tolerance/ "Whitefish Council Adopts Resolution Supporting Diversity, Tolerance"] by Tristan Scott, Flathead Beacon, 2014 December 2</ref>

In 2016, a [[Jewish]] real estate agent named Tanya Gersh saw someone with a large camera take photographs of a commercial building owned by Sherry Spencer, Richard's mother. Assuming that this was someone from the press, she called friends who were tenants of Sherry to warn them that Sherry might end up receiving some unwanted attention due to Richard Spencer's not-Nazi dickery. Soon afterwards, Gersh received a call from Sherry, who claimed that she didn't believe in her son's ideologies, and asked what could she do to distance herself. Gersh recommended that Sherry sell the building, donate the proceeds to a human rights cause, and make a public statement on what she thinks about her son.<ref name="esqtanya">[https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a28797463/tanya-gersh-daily-stormer-andrew-anglin-neo-nazi-troll-storm-14-million/ "Tanya Gersh Was the Target of a Neo-Nazi ‘Troll Storm.’ Then She Fought Back—and Was Awarded $14 Million."] by Kate Storey, Esquire, 2019 August 29</ref>

Shortly afterwards, a post on {{wpl|Medium.com}} that claimed to have been written by Sherry (although possibly written by Richard himself) accused Gersh of using blackmail tactics to try and get Sherry to sell her property. Naturally, Richard Spencer's pal [[Andrew Anglin]] of the [[Daily Stormer]] decided that the best way to help out his compadre was to [[Doxxing|doxx]] Gersh and other members (especially [[Jewish]] members) of the Whitefish community, along with accusing Gersh of being part of the "[[International Jewish conspiracy|Jewish agenda]]" and promoting a false narrative that the Jews were taking over Whitefish and driving [[WASP]]s out. This resulted in many in Whitefish (especially Gersh) being flooded by a "troll storm" of angry, [[alt-right]] [[Argumentum ad cellarium|basement dwellers]] [[Argumentum ad baculum|threatening violence]] via social media and emails, sometimes to the point of death threats.<ref>[https://missoulacurrent.com/government/2019/05/neo-nazi-troll-storm-2/ "Neo-Nazi website founder forfeits defense in ‘troll storm’ suit by Whitefish family"] by David Reese, Missoula News, 2019 May 1</ref><ref name="esqtanya"/><ref name="timespariah">[https://indianexpress.com/article/world/how-a-small-town-silenced-a-neo-nazi-hate-campaign-7489645/ "How a small town silenced a neo-Nazi hate campaign"] by Elizabeth Williamson, New York Times, 2021 September 5, reprinted in the Indian Express</ref><ref name="nprwhitefish">[https://www.npr.org/2018/01/23/579884628/victims-of-neo-nazi-troll-storm-find-difficulties-doing-something-about-it "Descending On A Montana Town, Neo-Nazi Trolls Test Where Free Speech Ends"] by Kirk Siegler, NPR, 2018 January 23</ref>

To support the Spencers, Anglin announced a march in Whitefish planned for [[Martin Luther King Jr.]] day on 2017, tastelessly named as "The [[James Earl Ray]] Day Extravaganza".<ref>[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/daily-stormer-andrew-anglin-splc-lawsuit_n_58f62d23e4b0b9e9848ea8f7 "Civil Rights Group Sues Daily Stormer Publisher After Readers Send Family Hundreds Of Threats"] by Matt Ferner and Christopher Mathias, Huffington Post, 2017 April 18</ref> In response to this, prior to the date of Anglin's planned rally, the town staged a large counter-rally denouncing the hate. On the scheduled day of Anglin's rally, not a single person showed up to support Anglin. In contrast, 350 people showed up to a get-together in support of unity, organized by Whitefish Rabbi Francine Green Roston (who was also a victim of Anglin's "troll storm"), in order to eat some delicious chicken and matzo ball soup.<ref name="timespariah"/><ref name="nprwhitefish"/>

In 2019, Gersh won a default judgement from Anglin for $14 million dollars due to his role in the trolling.<ref name="timespariah"/>

According to Whitefish leaders in 2021, due to the above events and Spencer's not-Nazi [[asshole]] behavior, Spencer is now an outcast in Whitefish, and is unable to get a table at many restaurants (or at least will be greeted by a chorus of boos.)<ref name="timespariah"/> Even in 2018, Spencer's reputation was bad enough that a bar owner in Whitefish (after Spencer's credit card was declined on a simple $4.25 bourbon order) posted the receipt on Facebook with a request for Spencer to "refrain from visiting our establishment in the future" because "it makes everybody feel real scummy".<ref>[https://www.eater.com/2018/5/9/17336380/richard-spencer-white-nationalist-credit-card-declined "Broke White Nationalist Richard Spencer Can’t Even Order a Cheap Drink"] by Greg Morabito, Eater, 2018 May 9</ref><ref>[https://963theblaze.com/white-supremacists-card-declined-in-whitefish/ "White Supremacist's Card Declined in Whitefish"], 96.3 The Blaze, 2018 May 8</ref>
