In the latest scrap of juicy infighting hither inwards the Alt-Right, Daniel Friberg, the caput honcho of intellectual (but fashy) mass publisher Arktos has been defriended on Facebook past times Greg Johnson, the mysterious "voice without a face" who runs the fashy (but intellectual) Counter-Currents webzine in addition to mass publisher.
The defriending follows weeks of behind-the-scenes bickering in addition to accusations that Johnson had been bad-mouthing Friberg behind his back.
In an endeavor to clear the air, Friberg who lives inwards Budapest, Hungary, heard that Johnson was inwards town on a low-profile speaking tour, in addition to cordially invited him to convey a face-to-face meeting, posting the next message on Facebook:
Hey Greg Johnson, y'all convey been attacking my grapheme publicly in addition to behind my dorsum for unopen to a twelvemonth now. Considering we're neighbors hither inwards Budapest, how most I purchase y'all a latte at Starbucks; y'all tin flame tell all these things to my face. What hit y'all think?"Johnson has straight off defriended Friberg in addition to has failed to respond to this generous invitation.
In add-on to the number postulate addressed, the tilt has likewise raised the other issues of Johnson's identity in addition to why he refuses to demo his confront inwards public.
A number of interesting theories are floating some the Alt-Right-o-Sphere, none of which nosotros tin flame confirm, but which nosotros reproduce hither simply every bit evidence of the kinds of things that people say.
One theory is that Johnson was scalped past times Indians every bit a child for his golden locks, in addition to is thus cruelly scarred in addition to disfigured. He thus lurks inwards the shadows similar his component model the Phantom of the Opera.
Another is that his vecino inwards San Francisco was i time attacked past times antifa looking for Johnson, in addition to that the sense then terrified him that he decided to never to demo his confront always i time to a greater extent than (and purchase a tearing guard dog).
Yet some other theory centers on his alleged homosexuality, proverb that he is unwilling to convey his confront out there, every bit it would interfere alongside his cruising lifestyle inwards the many gay clubs that he is rumored to visit.
But mayhap the most interesting theory is that Greg Johnson is a weird doppelganger of Richard Spencer, rather inwards the vogue of Oscar Wilde's "Portrait of Dorian Gray."
According to this patently outlandish but every bit nevertheless undisproved theory, Johnson was created many years agone when a immature Richard Spencer decided to gamble eternal damnation past times going all fashy.
But, every bit Spencer ventured always deeper into the "dark side" of Alt-Right politics, it was non he who became twisted, aged, withered, gay, in addition to embittered past times the nighttime forces he was channeling, but instead Johnson, whose i time golden boyish looks convey straight off been reduced to a gnarled monstrosity dragging some a flap of skin.
It is for this reason, reputedly, that he keeps himself locked upward inwards an attic, emerging, exclusively later applying heavy brand up, to attend Counter-Currents events to sell the strange mass or two.
