10. "Alt-Right" is a marketing term to sanitize their image

Sun Aug 13, 2017, 02:44 PM

Aug 2017

It is time to strike "alt-right" from our vocabulary.

But I disagree on "White Nationalist." I think that's a dirty dirty word too, and I don't mind sticking it to those disgusting ideologues.

My thoughts here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029449122

Don't let them disguise themselves behind a buzz word as banal as "alt-right." Richard Spencer and the Brietbart set can own their movement with all of their ideologies spelled out. Breitbart isn't alt-right, it's white nationalist, white supremacist, racist, and neo-nazi.
