"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

2018-07-18 06:55:21 UTC  

I deleted my Facebook

2018-07-18 06:55:29 UTC  

If Christina Hoff Sommers can be a misogynist

2018-07-18 06:55:30 UTC  

rarely use twitter now
