(3,284 posts)It is a marketing term designed to soften the image of white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, and neo-nazis. From now on, I refuse to call them alt-right, and I will only call them what they are: white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, and neo-nazis.
No more normalizing with convenient marketing terms to make them sound palatable. Richard Spencer and the Breitbart set can own their actual movement, which is comprised almost entirely of white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, and neo-nazis.

And they certainly don't want to be shooting their own.

(1,399 posts)BUT what happened in Ferguson was righteous anger that just needed targeted more toward the oppressors.
What is happening in Charlottesville is a bunch of criminals being allowed to maraud against civilization.
Where are the fugging cops?
Lots of these crazy white guys will be arrested - people have cameras
Well maybe, but only after they go home, stew in their hate, and then attack a neighbor, shoot a coworker, beat a family member, or otherwise take some other violent action that can be passed of as a troubled individual whos actions couldn't really have been predicted or prevented.
You do have a point

They'd be shot, or at least beaten. So many people deny white privilege, but here it is right in our faces.

(928 posts)I'd worry about them. This is SOP in this country. Just look at the pumpkin fest riot, surfing competition riot, and lets not even get into that whole fiasco at the Bundy Ranch where there were rifles aimed at federal agents from bridges above. Those are just a few.
