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?
what do you think it's short for?
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?
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
It got thoroughly miscategorized.
You've made your point, but I still don't think it's a title we can take back.
the left WANTED it to mean what Richard Spencer wanted. Didn't the media do a ton of interviews to reinforce it too?
Oh yeah.
I mean, literally, who the fuck WAS Richard Spencer before 2016?
you use a word 10 years ago. ppl start a meme with the same name and you get famous
let's be honest, if the media didn't want it to be this way. It would have never happened
