What Is The “Alt-Right”? A Guide To The White Nationalist Movement Now Leading Conservative Media

What Is The “Alt-Right”? A Guide To The White Nationalist Movement Now Leading Conservative Media
Blog ››› 1 hour 1 min ago ››› OLIVER WILLIS

Over the last few months, the so-called “alt-right” has become one of the most prominent factions of the conservative media. The movement’s leading outlet is Breitbart News, whose chairman, Stephen Bannon, has just become the CEO of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

In many ways the “alt-right” is a rebranding of classic white nationalism for the 21st century. As BuzzFeed described the movement: “In short, it’s white supremacy perfectly tailored for our times: 4chan-esque racist rhetoric combined with a tinge of Silicon Valley–flavored philosophizing, all riding on the coattails of the Trump boom.”

Anti-American in the extreme, full on racists taking over the republican party and the Conservative movement as a whole.

They must be stopped.
