Kashifv: /* Distinction from National Socialism (nazism) */

The '''Alt-right''', or '''alternative right''', is an emerging faction of the right-wing that opposes unrestrained multiculturalism, un-"skilled" immigration, and [[globalism|globalization]].<ref>http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/03/29/an-establishment-conservatives-guide-to-the-alt-right/</ref><ref>http://theweek.com/articles/641595/how-american-nationalism-coexist-globalism</ref> The alt-right has emerged as one of the central opponents of the [[Establishment]]. The alt-right movement's central theme is as follows:<ref>[http://angrywhitedude.com/2016/04/51778/ What is the Alt-Right?, AngryWhiteDude.com, April 12, 2016]</ref>

Leading alt-right websites include Radix Journal, Countercurrents Publishing, The Unz Review, Taki Mag, The Right Stuff, and Red Ice.<ref>http://www.counter-currents.com/</ref><ref>http://www.radixjournal.com/</ref><ref>http://www.unz.com/</ref><ref>http://takimag.com/#axzz4MpkgjNbs</ref><ref>http://therightstuff.biz/</ref><ref>https://redice.tv/</ref>. More mainstream "alt-lite" websites include [[Breitbart]] and The Gateway Pundit.

'''Alt-right''' as a term appeared in November 2008 when Paul Gottfried addressed the H. L. Mencken Club about what he called "the alternative right". In 2009, two more posts at Taki's Magazine, by Patrick J. Ford and Jack Hunter, further discussed the 'alternative right.' The term is commonly attributed to Richard B. Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute and founder of Alternative Right magazine.<ref>http://www.salon.com/2016/10/08/from-the-old-right-to-the-alt-right-how-the-conservative-ideology-of-fdrs-day-fueled-the-rise-of-trump/</ref>

The alternative right has alternately been called libertarian nationalism, "neo"-paleoconservatism, "evolutionary" conservatism, "scientific" conservatism, and the post-'''religious right'''.<ref>https://twitter.com/douthatnyt/status/704462319074594816</ref>

== Style of Alt-right ==

The style of the alt-right is to reject the approaches of the [[mainstream media]], and use the internet rather than traditional avenues of communication preferred by moderates.<ref>https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-American-alternative-right</ref>

The alt-right employs a "culture jammming" approach to its opposition with memes on Reddit, 4chan, 9gag, and Facebook.<ref>
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_jamming</ref>. This involves using modified artifacts of popular culture, specifically characters such as Pepe the frog, Moonman or anime characters to demonstrate the non-falsifiabile attributes of the neoliberal mantra of social change driven by global capitalism.<ref>http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=emo+fascism</ref> <ref>http://www.salon.com/2016/10/25/meet-moon-man-the-alt-rights-new-racist-rap-sensation-borrowed-from-1980s-mcdonalds-ads/</ref>

Breitbart news editor Stephen Bannon joined the Trump campaign in August 2016. <ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/18/us/politics/donald-trump-stephen-bannon-paul-manafort.html?_r=0</ref>

==Rejection of neoliberalism==

The alternative right holds neoliberalism responsible for the decimation of national borders and national identity. It views the rise of left-leaning governments as an effect of multicultural amalgamation caused by large business interests run amok. Libertarian (anarcho-capitalistic) elements of the alt-right oppose Keynesianism as well which, paradoxically, is the national (as opposed to global) predecessor of neoliberalism.

Due to the alt-right's equation of globalized capitalism with Marxism, the movement has been compared to national anarchism (anarcho-fascism) on [[Wikipedia]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_and_nationalism</ref>

==Distinction from National Socialism (Nazism)==

The alt-right seeks racial "identitarianism" through a largely monocultural state; and cultural cohesion over economic interests.<ref>http://www.amren.com/news/2016/10/what-is-the-alt-right-jared-taylor/</ref> The alt-right does not explicitly seek genocide of non-white races. It views national borders as a proxy for racial segregation, but does not support de facto racial segregation. Mainstream alt-righter members support skilled immigration.

Relationally, neo-nazism is a component of the alt-right (big-tent movement); the alt-right is NOT a component of neo-nazism. The alt-right heavily employs principles from Italian fascism which is the racially-agnostic predecessor of Nazism (German fascism).

==Libertarian Nationalism==

The alt-right distrusts large (anti-tribal) financial institutions as corrupt and rejects the open-borders aspect of mainstream libertarianism while affirming new allegiances, such as supporting gays by encouraging firearm ownership or giving support to unaffiliated Independent candidates that are anti-establishment, regardless of their political leanings.

The alt-right has seen its membership ranks swell exponentially with libertarians that reject weak national (non-tribal) leadership within their movement. Although they are not part of the original alt-right, ex-libertarians make up a plurality of this emerging grassroots movement.

==View of Christianity==

The alt-right emphasizes the crypto-polytheistic aspects of Christianity and links it to Greco-Roman and pan-European polytheistic history and "Western" accomplishments. The alt-right views Christianity as a religion distinct from Islam and Judaism in its polytheistic elements and "special" relationship to European history. The alt-right accepts the study of evolution and global warming as a product of Western polytheistic science. It rejects modern evangelical Christianity for its pro-immigration stance (for proselytization purposes) although it views Europe's history of colonization and Christian proselytization as having a positive effect on those respective colonial countries.

Due to its pro-"Western science" views the alternative right has on occasion called itself "evolutionary" conservatism or "scientific" conservatism.

==Alt-right's approach to Israel==

The alt-right views Israel as a model for white nationalism and/or Christianism. While opposing Jewish 'hypocrisy' on white identity issues, the alt-right admires the Jewish unity and tribalism manifested in a Zionist state <ref>http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2012/05/jewish-hypocrisy-on-ethnonationalism-in-israel-versus-the-diaspora-a-picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words/</ref> In keeping with its isolationist approach, the alt-right opposes an EXCLUSIVE alliance between America and Israel.

==Opposition==

The movement is smeared by elitists of society that thinks it knows better. However, the usual liberal scare tactics and other social engineering schemes are rejected. The alt-right moves to its own beat. The alt-right opposes [[Feminism]], and masculinity is promoted. Anything liberal and the views held by [[RINO]]s: immigration, [[political correctness]], [[cultural appropriation]], [[misogyny]], "[[homophobia]]", etc. are fiercely rejected.

Where the [[Establishment]] or modern conservatives shy away from a fight for fear of being called "racist", "bigoted" or "ignorant" by liberals projecting their own attitudes and beliefs onto them, the alt-right unapologetically fights against this notion.

Extremist leftwing progressives at the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] have taken notice, recently commenting about [[Breitbart]] and their inclusion to the SPLC hate-list<ref>[http://dailycaller.com/2016/04/29/southern-poverty-law-center-slaps-breitbart-news-with-racist-charge/#ixzz47FmwBQ4z southern-poverty-law-center-slaps-breitbart-news-with-racist-charge, DailyCaller, April 29, 2016]</ref>

{{cquote|The outlet has undergone a noticeable shift toward embracing ideas on the extremist fringe of the conservative right. Racist ideas. Race-baiting ideas. Anti-Muslim and anti-Immigrant ideas –– all key tenants making up an emerging racist ideology known as the ‘Alt-Right.'}}

While the term has been used in specialized writing about politics and ideology for years, the term gain mainstream usage following a speech by [[Hillary Clinton]] attacking [[Donald Trump]]'s connections to the Alt-Right.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/08/28/the-alt-rights-take-on-clintons-speech-botched-but-legitimizing/|work=Washington Post|date=August 28, 2016|first=David |last=Weigel|title=The alt-right’s take on Clinton’s speech: Botched, but legitimizing|accessdate=August 29, 2016}}</ref>
