    This is a series of videos that describes the techniques many in the alt right use, and possible ways to combat or at least recognize them. I've found them useful.

      I read this article the other day too that I thought was fairly good. It goes over some of the techniques that Ben Shapiro specifically uses: The Cool Kid’s Philosopher

      I like them so far, watched a few. i wonder though if it kind of plays into the whole divisiveness bit. i mean the suggestion (from the first ~3 vids) seems to be that this is a way to get rid of the alt-right by deconstructing their rhetoric, getting to know how they think/operate, and using that to dismantle the whole deal. But i don't think the alt-right will go away. maybe i'm getting the wrong impression from the videos, but i think the best hope 'we' have is shifting the overton window back over to the left a bit. I hope that these videos help, but it sounds like it's more on a mission to make the alt-right stop existing.

        Dismantling their groups is, admittedly, dealing with the symptoms but it's also a lot easier than overturning the crony capitalism that is squeezing these people to death, leaving them ripe for the picking to hucksters that redirect their anger at bankers crashing the economy onto immigrants and gay people.
