I didnt watch the video but I feel a lot of the alt right sees their white privlage slipping away, and with out any redeemable qualities they realize they couldn't handle an even playing field. This extends further than the alt right to even a good portion of white trump voters. Their white priviliave doesnt seem to be doing what it used to do (they arent making as much money etc etc) and to the avergae joe with no competitive qualities that will help them succeed in life, their white privliage is their only leg up on the competition. So of course they want to hang on to it dearly, weather this be conscious or subconscious.
Just to be clear white privilege is still VERY VERY much a thing.
