The "alt-right" says they won't be replaced, they prefer destruction instead

The world really is mounting up against them, it's not persecution though, it's progress.

They live in the past where being of a certain group meant you were entitled to admiration and some level of higher respect and not being in that group meant having your humanity questioned.

They can't picture a world where they're not the dominant or the majority, instead of working against social hierarchy, dog-eat-dog world, social dominance orientation and right wing authoritarianism mindsets though, they would rather see it all crumble.

They're going to be replaced by people like my new coworker I am showing the ropes... Works hard, bright, friendly... She's (female), also black and Muslim. She's also not traveling 300 miles to engage in a hate march led by trust fund babies to protest the removal of a statue of a long dead traitor.

Alt/Far Right - The world is passing you by, get with the program and make the world fair if you don't like the idea of you no longer being the top dog, but you will not destroy it because of your spite and ego... not if we all have something to say about it first.

accurate terms to describe them: unevolved white supremacists, dumbass militant racists, inbred Nazis.

Like that.

"Adam Lanza and Dylann Roof Wannabes" is my preferred term when I want to get technical.

Of course, after yesterday, I'm not so sure "Wannabes" is appropriate anymore.
