No one has even heard of the Alt Right until Clinton brought it up. Just another he's "racist" smear because that's all she's got.
Alt right might consist of a few thousand racists at most? Idk
Can we call the Communist, Socialist, Anarchists and satanists as the Alt Left now?
Seems fair to me.
To be fair, hardline Nazis (which is what 1488ers really are) often align themselves with whatever group they feel shares a confluence of interests with them. It doesn't mean the whole group is toxic, just that there are some who are bad within that group, rather like a football club. Some supporters are far right, others far left while the majority hover in between, but you wouldn't call them all Nazis, would you?

I avoid them I got stung too many times.
THAT article is an opinion of a new word like my "Prog" deal.
Its going to be used to target free speech so it might be a PC term.

The problem is that the Alt-Right DOES share a confluence of interests...and those interests aren't the silly MEMEs the Alt-Right produces.
If a group is attracting Neo-Nazis, White Supremacist, and the KKK...maybe that groups views and interests are a little racists...don't you think?
I guess the problem is that I don't care.
Whites will be a minority in this country by 2050 and still be called racist and will never get a minority status.
So if some of them are concerned about their future as a race, then that's their right.

So, I am a racist bigot because one blogger claims there's a group defined by a Facebook meme inspired by a denomination I first heard of while eating breakfast last Thursday?
Who said that?
Do you claim to be part of the Alt-Right? If not, then no...no one is saying you are a racist or a bigot.
What makes you think anyone is claiming you are part of the Alt-Right?

So it's ok to work with the KKK if it is for economic reasons....right?
I'm sorry, but I don't excuse hate and try to make excuses as to why a hate group might have the same interests as me.
If you look carefully you will see the tactical stratagems behind this supposed push for "equality". Broadly speaking this can be summed up as divide and conquer strategies of various kinds. The inversion and confusion of gender roles and sexuality, third wave feminism leading to increasingly hostile relations between women and men sparking the MGTOW movement and increasing the popularity of the somewhat sociopathic PUA community. The demonisation of the white male and the so called patriarchy, the agitation of minorities and women against the traditional majority culture. In essence it's a sustained attack on Western culture. An attempt at wiping the slate clean in preparation for a new order.

Then why are you even discussing it if you don't care?

So maybe you do share some of the same interests and view points of the Alt-Right.
Are you ashamed to claim you are part of that group?

Authoritarian thinking comes in all flavors and colors. Some wrap themselves in the flag and call their brand "progressive", some use whatever is available to brand their own franchise of ideology.
What's the solution then?
Do we start targeting people we think as subversive? Is this the start of a new witch hunt? Do we force those who think differently with badges so we can identify them?
