when they say "people who make the deus vult meme their whole personality," are they not just referring to alt right bros? to my understanding, this was a dogwhistle for a while regarding ones stance on immigration, waxing "nostalgic" about the islamophobia of the crusades

It took me a minute, but I think these are all Crafts from Mage: The Ascension:

Muslims: Ahl-i-Batin
Feminists: Sisters of Hippolyta
Deus vult: Knights Templar
Goths: Hollow Ones
Voodoo: Batáa
Alchemists: Children of Knowledge
Confucians: Wu Lung
Polynesians: Kopa Lori
Rich Africans: ?

Correct. Rich Africans are Ngoma, because their current plan to uplift Africa is to push as many Ngoma Mages and African Sleepers into science and bussiness.

There's nothing alt about them, they are the right base.

That was about Knights of the Temple of Solomon a.k.a. Knight Templars. Which in Mage are actual Christian Mages. They were fired from technocracy for, according to them, criticising the corruption within organization. According to technocracy they were fired for the Crusades. The truth is likely both.
