Spencer did not coin the term so much as he made it popular.

So question to the thread what points do you agree with on the alt right?

Do you know what their points are?

Do you like the fact it has the phony right/left is this afraid of real opposition?

I gotta be honest, for everything I've seen from those associating themselves with the so called alt-right, they typically espouse a sort of macho pseudo-conservatism which I find repugnant. Best I can tell, it's something which runs the gamut from people who are more in line with the Constitution Party but got caught up in the emotionalism of a "movement" to folks who, frankly, are nothing more than modern Nazis. The main players' seemingly anti-religion stance (seeing it as weak or not worth the time, etc.) isn't something I can get behind.

Reading this thread is like coming back from the dentist fully medicated. IS THIS REAL LIFE?

This^

I even read the Brietbart page the OP linked to, and it makes no more sense to me now than before.
Yes, I know this is not constructive comment, but I just don't understand the nuances between the labels on either side, and especially don't understand the need for the separate boxes to begin with.
And don't care to spend any more time attempting to figure it out. Political BS^10

carry-on OP. Hope you find your answer.

What did Afghanistan have to do with 9/11? We should have bombed the shit out of Mecca, Medina and Riyadh if tit for tat was the game.

Sorry I'm a little late to the party- but seriously? What did Afghanistan have to do with 9/11? Short answer- Al Qaeda was responsible for the planning and execution of the attack, Al Qaeda was based in Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan. Bin Laden, the head of Al Qaeda was IN Afghanistan, and so we went after him. Did the Saudi Kingdom have some responsibility? Perhaps, but 15/19 hijackers being Saudi makes not the entire government responsible. We may have had a shaky relationship with the Saudis, but I hardly think the King and every single crown prince bears any blame for 9/11... Some princes, yes, as there are a few who are very anti-America and are in bed with the Wahabis.

ETA: on the subject of Alt-Right, I find it hilarious that they claim the alt-right is a bunch of homophobic, anti-Semitic, racist folk, and then turn around and say that Milo Yiannopolis is a key figure in the alt-right. A gay, Jewish man is homophobic and racist? Sense, it makes none.
Not defending the so-called "alt-right" but the left always takes their accusations too far.

If you want to know what the left is doing, they're doing what they accuse the right of doing.

Exactly.
