party politicians like Gábor Vona of the Hungarian party Jobbik pen the
foreword for Arktos’s Evola texts.27 And coming out of the watershed year
2016 with all its political triumphs for the international radical Right,
Friberg remained convinced that his method remained essential— that
Western society had not, in fact, passed to a state wherein cultural ac-
tivism could be replaced wholesale with political initiatives. “Metapolitics
is always necessary. Always,” he told me. “Some people see Trump as the
end goal, but I don’t, and we still have a lot to do.”28

24. Friberg, for his part, was also acting almost unilaterally on behalf of Arktos
in this merger. Just as the Alt Right corporation was being formed, he broke
with his Arktos partner John Morgan, replacing Morgan as editor in chief
with Jason Reza Jorjani. Friberg also joined forces with another collaborator,
a former Sweden Democrat named Christoffer Dulny, to forge a largely inde-
pendent, Swedish- language branch of the Alt Right initiative titled the Nordic
Alt Right.
