The alt-right is about reducing economic and political freedoms. It is simply impossible for any libertarian to support it in good conscience. Of course, some libertarians unfortunately have sold their souls to Trump and his cronies. I know some personally.

Zionists are not Jews. They are people, like the Rothschilds, who use the Holocause to inflict shame on everyone else in the name of Jews. Most Jews are not Zionists. Zionists hurt Jews by claiming to represent them. This is similar to how people like Maxine Waters and Barack Obama hurt black people and Hillary Clinton hurts women.
As much as a religion advocates violence and mob rule rather than civilized behavior, it should be condemned. Muslims and Jews are in the same boat with their religious problems.
I would argue that most in the alt-right don't even condemn zionism, for they tend to blindly follow Trump and Qanon and others who push extremely zionist agendas. Many in the alt-right zealously defend zionism. Some do condemn Jews in general, which makes the alt-right look bad to the masses, but when push comes to shove they seem to still always push the zionist agenda of war and hate. I honestly don't see that many in the alt-right who are anti-semetic but rather many more who seem to hate Mexicans and Muslims...
There are in fact many Jews in the alt-right like Laura Loomer who are hardcore Jewish and zionist apologists, so I think it's wrong to say that the alt-right condemns both zionism and Jews in general, for there are only a small minority in the so-called alt-right who do either... The media just likes to focus on the minority who are anti-semetic to fuel the divide between alt-right & progressive-left, and they also like to falsely paint anti-zionists as anti-semetic to smear and discredit them.
The alt-right is just another controlled opposition movement to pull the waking masses back into the two-party system and left/right paradigm, and to keep the illusion going that the real fight is between the left and the right. The author is certainly right, Libertarians should steer clear of making any alliances with the toxic alt-right.
The Alt-Right is bad for libertarians, not to mention, the Alt-Right aren't even libertarians so for anyone to think Libertarians and supremacists could unite is absolutely foolish.
You gave a single example of someone on the alternate side and called for a total excommunication of everybody. SMH... It is thinking like this that ensures the wrong people will eventually lay hold to power permanantly
How do you define 'Alt-right' that you feel everyone can be classified into the same sandbox. I thoroughly disagree with that perspective. It is very possible for anyone to hold libertarian perspectives and possess some conservative values.
I really appreciate the honesty of your opinions but I feel you're merely jumping on the media bandwagon that uses labels so smoothly to their advantage
Author here. I don't believe that alt-right and conservative are synonymous. Libertarians can absolutely have conservative values. I also mention in the first paragraph that some people use the term "alt-right" as a pejorative against their political enemies. I'm speaking of the Richard Spencer, Christopher Cantwell, and Jared Howe types, not merely people who lean conservative in their personal lives.
So, the issue is not that these websites are censoring.
Facebook, Google, Twitter, and all are effectively like communication utilities. It's like saying, should the phone company be allowed to turn off your service because they don't agree with you politically? No, because there really is no alternative with the same type of reach.
So, yes, they need to be allowed to operate as companies, but need to be treated as utilities where they provide the access, connection, platform, but bear no control over what is posted, beyond discussions of illegal activity.
I can't fully agree with your definition of alt-right, though despite the fact I don't see it as correct it is more or less what the definition has evolved into. The original alt-right was made up primarily of men - granted it's always been a sausage fest - of various racial backgrounds, many of them various shades of brown. They were the "alternate media" and they were right wing or libertarian. Under the proper definition Hotep Jesus, Dinesh D'Souza, you, and Diamond and Silk all count as alt-right.
It wasn't a bad label to have until the smear campaign attached to it that happened sometime around the failed Charlottesville provocation event.
Proper alt-right deserves our support, highjacked terminology alt-right deserves to be ignored. (I have reason to believe a large percentage of that is psy-op)

If there are libertarians who support Donald Trump, then realize, they were never libertarian.
You just planted 0.17 tree(s)!

The alt-right doesn't only condemn zionism; they condemn Jews in general.
