Alt-Right Threat

[darmstadt]

So are you saying people that say "I'm not raciest" are alt-right sympathisers?

You're only raciest when you wear a skimpy negligee...

What I find interesting about this story, is the language that is coming out of the Alt-Right movement. You see this so often now online, often used by people who claim "I'm not racist" or "I don't support [insert right wing racist]" yet they use the exact same language as them.

We see it on here quite frequently with the obvious 'characters'.

Inneresting eh?


Is there a growing far-right threat online? - BBC News

Good idea. Let's start now.

Are you calling me alt-right and a racist?

You're only raciest when you wear a skimpy negligee...

Why did you start this thread?

I have no idea what alt-right i

If only there was some kind of global information network to find these things out. Oh, wait...

The alt-right, an abbreviation of alternative right, is a loosely connected far-right, white nationalist movement based in the United States. A largely online phenomenon, the alt-right originated in the U.S. during the 2010s although has since established a presence in various other countries. The term is ill-defined, having been used in different ways by various self-described "alt-rightists", media commentators, and academics.

No. I'm implying it. But it could be a wind up, rather than because I really think so. Or not.

Nat, no need to be sarcastic. It's called having a discussion, you would expect the op to then tell you what they think alt-right is and go from there.

Even the text you pasted describes the alt-right as ill-defined and open to interpretation.

Nat, no need to be sarcastic.

I'm truly sorry. I was going for patronising.

Yes, it's ill-defined, but it seems to be far-right, white racists nationalists especially those who use the internet to propagate their views - often attempting to hide their racist/nationalist ideology to try to shift the definition what is acceptable, and quite happy to use fake news and other propaganda techniques to further their aims. (Yes, the far left do this too, as do certain types of liberalists).

[woohoo]

Apology accepted. I appreciate you are trying your best when posting.

That's how you do patronising.

the only ones who call themselves alt-right these days are the white ethno-nationalists in the US, the likes of Richard Spencer and Jarrod Taylor, the reality is they have a very small following (just look at their social media numbers), Alt-right is used as a slur to de-legitimise anyone with a right of centre opinion
