How many have heard of the alt right before this?
I know I had not.
Not me. But wait until all the liberals start parroting it in the coming months.
It’s a term that was made up in the alt-reality of Hillary Clinton’s mind.
I have only heard of it in the last month or so. I've been looking at websites that I have been told are "alt-right" (such as Takimag) for years, but I had not heard this term until recently.
It’s an update on the vast right wing conspiracy Alinsky tactic, this time bringing in skin-heads and neo-Nazis to discredit Trump supporters.
Make no mistake she is painting us at FreeRepublic with her broad brush and I think we should reject the term out of hand and not embrace it.
They are the opposite of social justice warriors politically, but copy some of the left’s tribal tactic.
For example, alt-right supports whites having their own culture and having a “white” group identity. For the left, every culture is wonderful except Europeans, and all diversity is good except for the bad monolithic culture of whites.
They are also more ready to troll SJWs, though the SJWs did it first, and they are more analytical and don’t immediately accept the left’s arguments. For example, the left calls someone a racist and most conservatives try to prove why they aren’t a racist. An alt-right immediately jumps in with how the KKK is all Democrat or BLM chanting death to whites videos.
Its been around for years. The term always reminded me of the old Usenet newsrooms. I think most of them are trolls, even when they have a ton of intellect behind them (Milo), but there is a fairly large contingent whom I would consider intellectuals.
Funny, they remind me of the troll-Left of the early 70s, similar tactics, Alinsky turned on its head.
I haven’t heard of it until this week. Smells like something made up by that one guy who has illusions of grandeur. That said, it’ll be the most trending hash tag by Monday morning and Hellary and the msm will be on it like fleas on a dog.
I heard of them yesterday...
Sounds like some ancient USENET thing. Have not had access to that for decades, if it still exists.
