The term Alt-Right is rather nebulous. There are self-identified Alt-Righters like Milo who use the Alinsky Playbook against the Left. There are others, for example, Derbeyshire, who correctly identify the role culture plays. There are the kooks like Spencer who GOPe use to attack the entire movement.

Schneider laid out his personal philosophy in a brief statement, defining conservatism as "the political philosophy that sovereignty resides in the person."

That is rather thin gruel. Seems to ignore major conservative thinkers like Burke.

"Just a few years ago, this hate-filled left-wing fascist group hijacked the very term 'alt-right,'"

Hijacked? How about created it?

To me, alt right is conservatism minus neo-con globalism. Obviously there is no definition that works in all instances for any of the terms of conservatism or neo-con or globalism. Trumpism is my kind of conservatism as an old Pat Buchananite person. I like Washington on guns, Lincoln on Trade, Taft on regulation and Reagan on taxes. Trump is better than them all, on each. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Did he ever define what “alt-right” is that he found disgusting and fascist?

That term has little meaning to me when it appears no one knows what it truly covers.

You know, it makes me wonder if a single one of these idiots even knows what the “Alt-Right” is.

Of course, they’re all representatives of garden variety conservatism, which has signally failed to conserve anything - a record of failure going all the way back to the time of Taft and before.

So honestly, I’m not really inclined to listen to a pack of establishment idiots who are shilling for a failed ideology by misrepresenting its increasingly successful competitor.

I watched his speech. He was woefully lacking any examples.

That’s not how this works!

That’s not how any of this works!

Shut up Grampa, you don’t know what you’re talking about!

The Constantly Pushing Amnesty Conference is run by Al Cardenas and the Cheap Labor Express to convince people that the right supports abandoning the rule of law and surrendering the country.

What a weirdo.

Only dinosaurs say, "They're not part of us"

close kin to "This is not who we are"

Perhaps he's just tired of all the winning ?? It was predicted you know.

Milo is not alt-Right, and has repeatedly said he is not alt-Right.

Who gives a crap? How does arguing over a term advance conservative principles? At least Milo would have been funny.
