    Unrealistic. Nations have engaged in trade since ancient times. Land mass habitation changes with time. Asinine to state there
    are certain states with static populations. The area known as the US was a hodgepodge of Spanish, Native and French cultures
    at it's inception and to think you can pass laws preventing Latino heritage population from slowly growing to a majority is just
    a head in the sand stance. And nature abhors animal populations that become inbred - it increases susceptibility to disease.

    Basically, it's a head in the sand approach to reality. Things change. Get over it.

    The definition laid out in the site is far too convoluted. The Alt-right as far as I can tell is a resurgence of Eurocentric/Western chauvinist traditionalist Tribalism/Nationalism. With that said I'm surprised Christianity is included as a pillar due to its foreign (to Europe) origins. For a more in depth explanation look up ThuleanPerspective.

    Oh fer crissake, look up the "philosophy" that was in power in Germany from 1933-45. The only reason they're including Christianity is because the Dominionists have controlled the Republican higher ups for about a decade now.

    Put a cross on top a swastika, or vice versa, you got it.

    This is garbage. Do you not understand that we made labor laws in our country that these other countries do not have? It's not about protecting demographics, YOU IDIOT, it is about protecting those labor standards for ALL AMERICANS of whatever race. WAKE UP DUMB DUMB.

    Maybe you're just a brainwashed idiot. The explanation on that website is not convoluted. So I think you must be. Maybe read it again more slowly?

    Perhaps try to demonstrate how my description is inaccurate. Unless of course you're mentally incapable, which is likely.

    alt right is simply the alternative to the right. We are the right in a nationalist right globalist left set up which the world and this country is headed to.

    You know, people wouldn't think of the "Alt Right" as being mostly made up of racists and white supremacists....



    if it wasn't for all the racists and white supremacists who were Alt Right.

    Forgive me. All those months ago, I became enraged at the notion circulated by fake news that what was being called "alt right" was a racist movement. It was an example of how easily duped people are by the temptation of not having to do any actual work to research a subject.

    A major theme of the ideological base that truly propelled Trump to the White House is to reject all bigotry. A second is that society has been purposely dumbed down and domesticated, in part, by media campaigns to promote divisive secondary issues over more substantive ones like trade and the more nuanced aspects of foreign policy to distract the public from the fact that both parties agree on those policies, even though their agenda is bleeding the U.S. dry, nurturing an ever expanding wealth gap, and bringing constant death and destruction to the Middle East so that people there have had to flee their homelands.

    After I went on this mindless and rage fueled tirade, I decided it would be best to take some away from the forum. But I am back at this time, and will answer your question:

    What is inaccurate about your description is that you are incorrectly identifying our issues with illegal Mexican immigration as stemming from a fear of changing racial demographics when, in fact, our issues stem from a desire to maintain American labor standards, as we have successfully petitioned to establish them in the U.S.

    Furthermore, what you're doing by demanding that the only real reason anyone could disagree with you is racism is a little trick your brain plays on you to make you think you can afford to skip studying the material and still have a valid point to make on the topic.

    Alt Right is the exact opposite of a Libertarian. That's why I like Libertarians.

    Don't use the term alt-right if you aren't an actual Nazi. Populist conservative will do, but alt right was coined by Nazi's for Nazi's.

    About half of what the alt right stands for makes sense, but then they become unhinged from reality.

    You forgot to mention the english in that hodge podge. Who by the way created what was to become the richest most powerful nation on earth. Look at what the Spanish created south of our border. So, one would think keeping America with a with a majority of the kind of people that founded this nation might be an intelligent thing to do. We should be taking in Europeans instead of muslims and Hispanics. Both come from cultures who never got their (*)(*)(*)(*) together and will plant that kind of inferior thinking here.

    Our greatness came from immigrants who shared western culture, western values, who could assimilate easily.And not from contradictory cultures that did not share common values. The desire to assimilate is essential and paramount and we have ignored such a basic fact.

    Oh, so it basically doesn't exist after all.

    - - - Updated - - -

    No need for an apostrophe in "Nazis".

    Anyway, I agree that anyone with any sense about them shouldn't willingly accept or self-apply that stupid label. It's a losing tactic and a hallmark of groupthink.

    Alt-right meaning nothing at all. It is just a phrase someone made up. Debating made-up terminology is pointless.

    actually the alt-right first emerged during the gamer-gate controversy it was just a group that was opposed and a counter to the new wave feminism, PC, and SJWs later it was incorporated and high jacked by white nationalist. the alt-right didn't start out as that.
    It is about the same as what happened to the Tea Party it started out just being anti big government, anti high taxes and constitutionalist they didn't have a platform on social issues but the Tea Party was infiltrated by the religious right and its social agenda

    It's been so long that I forgot what I'd said that prompted your response. I don't see how using terms like "Western Chauvinist" are inaccurate or just calling them "racists" as many on the alt-right have applied it to themselves as a means to describe their position. The same with tribalist/nationalist, my use of these words were not to imply that the alt-right are racists, these are self applied terms from many on the alt-right and their political allies.

    As well my contention with the favoritism shown toward Christianity is also not indicative of me thinking the alt-right are racists. I just find it odd that a political movement using symbolism like roman salutes and curved crosses would embrace a religion that has its origins not from Europe/Western civilization but the middle east.

    In any case, welcome back. I too stepped away from fighting both the right and the left on this site and visit it on rare occasion.

    Alt right is bigotry on a colossal scale, nepotism, backward "nationalism" and sheer lunacy. Look no further than 1st half 20th century Spain, Italy, Germany & Japan to see how well this bullsh*t works out.

    I read a bunch of their chat room garbage years ago and despite the drivel they thought about themselves they were straight up fascist dickheads.

    Then the became vaguely akin to adults and got ahead in life and manipulated their way into politics.

    Still fascist dickheads, though.
