[quote=@The Harbinger of Ferocity] The "deplorables" also call themselves Deplorables, a term invented and executed by the Left wing but adopted by the Right. The "Alt-Right" label is also a product of the Left wing. The conventional "Right" or Conservative story would not work, because you would alienate and mechanize more people against your message by branding half the country the "bad guys" - as we saw with the "basket of deplorables" turning a huge number of people away, the now infamous "Silent Majority". Calling them the "alternative right" was something they then embraced because they wanted to distance themselves from those they saw as failing, even now you can see people sling the "RINO" or "Republican in Name Only" acronym. You can further witness this with groups such as the Alt-Knights who are not only a parody of the phrase, given they were born form the internet, but an actual Right faction. The [i]real[/i] Alt-Right are not right wing at all; Nazism certainly is not a politically right ideology given its deeply socialist roots and fascism as a concept is on the authoritarian side of the Authoritarianism vs Liberty axis, having nothing to do with Conservatism. The same can be said for the Ku Klux Klan which had David Duke and Robert Byrd to name a few, both of whom are notable Democrats and have a strong Left wing history. Also, throwing the term of "crypto-fasc" around is not going to get you far. Can you define this word or its use? [/quote] This isn't wholly true. AltRight means "Alternative right" which can, though it won't always, mean anything deviating from neo-con/libertarian/quasi-ancaps. Monarchists, are technically an altright, as are neo-reactionaries. However it optimally refers to the Richard Spencer crowd. My point is no value should be put into these vague terms.
