why has all your posts been hearts for the last 4 months?

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

<Snipped quote by Garattee>

I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding the alt right. They're not an organized group. There is no leadership called 'the alt right' and there is no 'alt right political party' or political leaders that associate with the alt right (and those that do, are most likely pandering, because if you call yourself an alt right person you're immediately out with 3 strikes.) There is no organized set of believes and rules for what they should believe in, contrary to say, feminism or libertarianism, who do have more clearly definable traits and beliefs.

I'm absolutely in agreement that its not a political ideology like conservatism, but much like something like BLM or Gamergate its movement, reactionary that seems to center around some sort of set of ideas. Now you are categorising them as edgy shit posters which a number of them probably are, but the reality is that the term Alt Right was actually created by Richard Spencer and there are actual websites, radio shows, and institutes dedicated to this thing. Now I don't know who 'truly' represents these folk but its not as fleeting and arbitrary as you are making it seem.

On the contrary, alt right people don't need a set definition for everything. They appeal to logic instead, and LOGIC and common sense dictate what they know to be true at any given time. When the facts change, so do their opinions that they formulated based on that information. Make sense?

Also, the "alt right" is just that: alternative conservatism. It just means they don't agree with EVERY facet of conservatism. They might have some liberal ideas. They might take a page out of the libertarian playbook (woot!). When a loose group of people is considered by society to be "alternative", it just means that they don't really fit the mold for any other group. There are alt liberals, alt libertarians, alt Greens, et cetera.

And why, @Garattee, would you want to defend racist, isolationist, neo-authoritarian, disciples of Sam Huntington and his Clash of Civilizations theory that want to completely unmake the post-Bretton Woods, post-UN Charter world order to fit their worldview via conspiracy-peddling? Now I'm not saying that Bretton Woods is perfect, but it is quite necessary in the modern globalized order which can't be retreated without total collapse of the worldwide economy, essentially.

@JDolan

See what I mean? not even 12 hours and already two very different definitions, how can this position be defended or criticized?

I never said I want to defend them, I'm saying the vagueness of their description makes it very tough to discuss them in any clear way. Ive seen many descriptions of the alt right, some of which match you description, some which dont.

I hate the fact that the alt right has no real definitions, its impossible to sum up what the actually believe which makes them impossible to criticize or defend.

What is the difference between a Flame War and a Disagreement to you?

The level of pettyness determines whether or not is a disagreement or retards going to war.

@Burning Kitty

A little passive agressive, I think.
