White supremacist[27] Richard Spencer initially promoted the term in 2010 in reference to a movement centered on white nationalism and did so, according to the Associated Press, to disguise overt racism, white supremacism, neo-fascism and neo-Nazism.[28][29][30] The term drew considerable media attention and controversy during and after the 2016 United States presidential election.[31]
Many things wrong with this article, yes
nice discussion though 👍
but
I mean, I didn't hear anyone using the term prior to the 2016 election
what term?
alt-right?
I first heard about it from Milo, and then Hillary Clinton.
linked above is the citation for the term Alt-right
watch the early videos from milo
it came from /pol/
nothing else
it had to do with right wing people not feeling represented by the right
and discussing ideas that the right party would never discuss
that was the point of the alt-right
"The intellectual bankruptcy of neoconservatism as well as the current stagnation of the movement conservatism should give paleos, traditionalists, and anyone else on the alternative Right some cause for optimism… Or at least, this is what everyone I know in Manhattan is saying. " - Richard Spencer, 2008
he literally called it "alternative right", not "alt-right", right?
I think it's a sad coincidence
just like "lolita" fashion isn't the same as "lolita" known in the west
Perhaps.
it was here that a guy had a lolita site right?
2 or 3 days ago
why do I not doubt that it would've been Ping?
that google forced him to close
oh
nvm
hahaha
the guy blamed google for considering "lolita" as the sexual thing
while "lolita" meant the conservative, beautiful and not sexualised fashion
the guy was forced to close the site because all ad networks gave him porn ads
I think it's similar here. ppl that called it "alt-right" in /pol/ didn't mean the same definition Richard Spencer used 10 (fuckin') years ago
5 years ago, gender still meant sex 😂
So, yeah
I think you're right.
I don't think Richard Spencer really was referring to the Alt-Right as it's defined at large
But since those who ACTUALLY coined it
Didn't actually put forward an established guideline
