In my experience, Wikipedia is heavily overused. It's too easy to use and puts so much at the top that people don't read past it that much. Plus Google and Bing put it right at the top in a special box.

Alt lite seems to be a prejorative

2018-07-18 06:46:39 UTC  

it may have been used that way just like liberal or conservative

2018-07-18 06:46:46 UTC  

"I want to tell people this person is alt right, but I can't, so...."

2018-07-18 06:46:52 UTC  

From what I understand Alt-lite is an attempt to rebrand after Charlottesville.

2018-07-18 06:47:03 UTC  

some accept it to be alt-right minus the identity politics

2018-07-18 06:47:07 UTC  

On tumblr alt lite is a nazi dogwhistle

2018-07-18 06:47:15 UTC  

So there's that

2018-07-18 06:47:21 UTC  

On tumblr everything's a Nazi dogwhistle.

2018-07-18 06:47:25 UTC  

It's a prejorative

2018-07-18 06:47:42 UTC  

You guys know contrapoints, right?

2018-07-18 06:47:54 UTC  

The tranny youtuber?

2018-07-18 06:48:06 UTC  

She made a video about Nazi dogwhistles

2018-07-18 06:48:14 UTC  

And every single one applies to her

2018-07-18 06:48:21 UTC  

It's hilarious

2018-07-18 06:48:50 UTC  

In fact one of the dogwhistles was "Denying that they are fascist"

2018-07-18 06:49:55 UTC  

I don't see the point of alt lite tbh

2018-07-18 06:50:03 UTC  

I've never seen anyone self identify as it

2018-07-18 06:50:28 UTC  

It seems to be applied to people like Lauren Southern and Rahim Kassam

2018-07-18 06:50:37 UTC  

And even Majid Nawaz

2018-07-18 06:51:23 UTC  

"In addition even though the Alt Lite and Al Right labels serve a function on a political classification level I would still urge one to be cautious about overusing these descriptors as they may cloud some key differences between individuals falling under the respective umbrellas."

2018-07-18 06:52:48 UTC  

"In fact one of the dogwhistles was 'denying that they are fascist' "

The sureset sign you're just on a witch hunt.

2018-07-18 06:52:57 UTC  

There is interesting discourse because many who are "alt-lite" are called alt-right

2018-07-18 06:53:32 UTC  

Like Tommy Robinson?

2018-07-18 06:53:38 UTC  

Katie Hopkins?

2018-07-18 06:53:44 UTC  

Ann Coulter?

2018-07-18 06:53:57 UTC  

Ben Shapiro?

2018-07-18 06:53:59 UTC  

I wouldn't necessarily use alt-lite as a over encompassing grouping though

2018-07-18 06:54:11 UTC  

Shapiro is considered 'alt-right'

2018-07-18 06:54:12 UTC  

Really?

2018-07-18 06:54:17 UTC  

Oh yes

2018-07-18 06:54:19 UTC  

Ya

2018-07-18 06:54:22 UTC  

Huh.

2018-07-18 06:54:25 UTC  

right?

2018-07-18 06:54:29 UTC  

Make a twitter

2018-07-18 06:54:36 UTC  

I avoid social media

2018-07-18 06:54:37 UTC  

Follow Kristi winters

2018-07-18 06:54:42 UTC  

And everyone related

2018-07-18 06:54:45 UTC  

IE; Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr

2018-07-18 06:54:56 UTC  

That'll give you your daily dose of cancer
