The Chevalier discusses Spengler and the Alt-Right. Some members of the alt-right have 'adopted' Spengler, but as the Chevalier points out, Spengler's is a counsel of despair. The West is inevitably doomed. It is the 'right' version of the marxist inevitability of the socialist paradise.
Ergo, if one is a Spenglerian, why fight for 'the West'? It's a doomed society.
He also points out that many 'alt-righters' claim they want 'Christendom without Christ' which he maintains (and I agree) would be a bloody, evil nightmare.
Also, in this case, I suggest reading the comments. Mr Frankini predicted at least 50 comments from Catholic 'alt-righters' telling them they had mischaracterised the movement. There are only 19 comments with some answers, and none of them are particularly of the sort Mr Frankini was expecting.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
