RE: If you are calling yourself Alt-Right you might want to be careful... I debated and then was given some info
I think any Reagan era republican calling themselves 'alt-right' need to look for a new term. It is a poisoned term now, like it or not, and using that term will only cause harm to the cause. Before Reagan got into office, he sounded an awful lot like Ron Paul and was much more libertarian leaning.
I doubt that they will try for a new name. They are sick of being bullied (racist, homophobe, privileged...) and are putting their foot down. They have also had a long time of having all the scorn piled onto them. What is one more person calling them racist?
Similar to anarchy, the name has purposefully been sullied. Anarchists should have found a new name, but they haven't and that seems to be working in their favor now.
The alt-right is a diaspora. So, there really is no group. There won't ever be a body that says these/those people are/aren't alt-right.
And, any new name will be torn down by the MSMockingbirdMedia. Look what they did to the TeaParty.
So where did the term "alt-right" originate? Is this Wikipedia article I linked to elsewhere on this post not accurate?
The wikipedia article starts off saying that "alt-right" was coined by a white-supremicist. That is propaganda if ever I saw it.
But, I do not know where it started, but currently it is used by a lot of people. They all use it slightly differently. And most of them are spouting republican views like you would have heard from Reagan. All the ones I listen to aren't radical, they have just returned to what "right" used to mean.
They see family and community as the basis of society. They see the left destroying that. Its easy to go from the typical mid-western town where everyone knows each other, and almost everyone is white to "we only want whites." And with the SJWs screaming racism at the drop of a hat, its reinforced.
It actually says "The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loose group of people with far-right ideologies who reject mainstream conservatism in the United States. White nationalist Richard Spencer coined the term in 2010 to define a movement centered on white nationalism, and has been accused of doing so to whitewash overt racism, white supremacism, and neo-Nazism."
Did you see the video?
I can't say with authority that this guy invented the term (wikipedia makes that claim) but he is certainly the on responsible for making the most people familiar with it.
