RE: If you are calling yourself Alt-Right you might want to be careful... I debated and then was given some info

in #altright9 years ago

Also I don't pay attention to white nationalists EITHER.

This article was inspired by someone in slack using a generalization that said something along "I'll not riot shame, all alt-right people are white supremacist, racist, assholes anyway"

I knew some people that claim to be alt-right and I knew that was not true.

In addition, it was clearly what is known as a haste generalization and those are almost always false.

So I debated him...

When I was done I learned about this faction that does fit his description that the opposition is attempting to use to label all people who identify as Alt-Right that.

The mainstream media of course is largely backing them up and repeating it.

It is often their justification for their protests that might turn into riots.

So I wrote this post as a public service announcment so that those that do identify as Alt-Right would know this is being done, where the garbage being used to stereotype and generalize is coming from, and hopefully inform them so they could either stop using the label, or at least be informed about where the ammunition being used is coming from.

That's it... that is all. No effort to DEFINE anything. I've seen several different definitions of Alt-Right at this point.
