We also talk about the demographic makeup of the alt-right, the influence of events like the Ron Paul movement and the Trayvon Martin case, and the role of race and IQ in shaping the movement's ideology. The conversation also touches on the leadership vacuum within the alt-right and the challenges of navigating the online space, different styles of communication between men and women, the challenges women face in leadership roles, the changing dynamics of sexuality, and the impact of technology on society and much more.
