The so-called "Alt-Right." The Okie Traditionalist Policy Statement

Catholics need to beware of the "Alt-right" phenomenon on the internet.

The "Alt-right" is not advocating for a return to a Christian society or a Christian sense of morality, in the least.

The "Alt-right" has very few constructive positions.  Its main positions are mainly negative, reactionary, libertarian, and uncivilized from a Catholic point of view.

The "Alt-right" also promotes the so-called "Manosphere," blogs and forums promoting a machismo, barbaric reaction of men to feminism.  It commonly promotes sexual immorality and un-Catholic attitudes towards manhood, womanhood, and marriage.  Beware of it.

The "Alt-rights" views on race and nationalism are often at odds with the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

There are many political and philosophical alternatives for traditional Catholics actually interested in building up the future of our country, starting with the traditional social teaching of the Catholic Church, especially pre-VII papal encyclicals (which are actually easy reads).
