alt-right just means people they disagree with
the alt right are a bunch of "ethno-nationalists", basically white nationalists who want a homeland only for white people to save the white race
does alt right actually MEAN anything or is it another fad label like neo-con / progressive / etc etc etc
shitebags basically
aah, "Faggots"
No it has a specific meaning which is why it is so infuriating when people misuse it
atm, it's just people they disagree with. Everyone to the right of carl marx is altright now
are they, @alba_Phenom
not hard right, alternative right... you aren't the right, you are it's alternative
to be the alternative to the right is to be... on the left
because to me it sounds like another meaningless label used by people who want to be "rad/lit/woke/taken the red pill / what the fuck ever"
There are prominent members like Richard Spencer, they are very well defined group
yes, richard spencer is indeed well defined, as in, arsehole
that's what the leftist journos want to do with it because it's an easy way to tar a whole lot of people under one banner
spencer is a socialist though, and fairly hard core identitarian that stands for most of bernie sander's platform
socialist is what?
The Alt-Right are an identity politics group, just on the right side of the spectrum
technically a socialist *cannot be an identitarian*
because for a socialist, a true socialist, ethnic / cultural background does not define who you are
they value their whiteness above all else and advocate for a homeland for "their people"
during the debate with sargon he came out as hating capitalism
What do you call an ethnostate that owns the means of production then?
now I am not a socialist by any definition, I agree with Tim that an individual deserves to be protected and that an individual deserves the fruits of their labour
I think capitalism and socialism doesn't enter into it for the Alt-Right, they're open to any of these ideas, the core belief though is that it's a racially segregated group
if you are arguing that your ethnic or 'racial' background should determine your reward from the work you put into life.
but spencer is a progressive liberal, he just changes People of color for white people
They think as long as it's only white people, they will have a harmonious society that will flourish and be a safe space for their white children, whether it's run with socialist ideals or not is secondary
Ethnonationalism doesn't touch directly on the question of capital ownership.
I dont think you understand what liberal means @Miss Direction
er @Misomania
Sargon, obvioulsy, is diametrically opposed to this kind of thinking so the Alt-Right hate him and think he's a race traitor
@Brant your definition of it doesn't make it universally true, that is some extreme narcissism. It's always been fairly nebulous which is why the mainstream liberals are shifting into being regressives so fast now
ironic because the term race traitor can be twisted by all sides to attack all sides
The economic policy of your nation regardless of its demographics would determine the reward for your labor.

@Misomania my definition of liberalism as a construct who's primary goal is to protect the individual because the acceptance that by protecting the individual is the only true way to protect society ?
liberal to me means someone who values the traditional values of liberalism, freedom of speech, expression, religion, sexuality, the right to associate freely with anyone, all people having an equal footing and rights under law
to me that's a liberal
