Welcome to the NRP. We are publishing the absolute best of those extremely online extremists known as the new right — “All the shit that’s fit to poast.”
Threads of the Week
> Brooklynoid comedian came at the king and missed, slipping and falling in a big gooey puddle of hot mustard. For a moment, it seemed like he might be having a normal one.

Jokes aside, they are kinda cute and seem to really love/admire each other. It’s one of the most interesting conversations yet on one of the most consistently interesting podcasts in the scene.
Also check out the recently un-paywalled interviews with Heather MacDonald and NRP fav Catgirl Kulak.

> Mother Jones runs a hit piece on Chris Rufo, a guy who, more than anyone else, made CRT a cause célèbre. Like most of the entries in this genre, they make him seem….kinda cool:
>
explores the tactics of boycotting, which, he says, must be targeted, arbitrary, and with full force. Everyone must come to fear the Omni-Boycott:
As always, don’t miss John’s weekly roundup of #longreads.

on the incoherent effort to meme the “white supremacist latino” into existence.
