Funny enough I was just listening to a podcast about the alt right...Originally posted by ИATAS View Post

where it was discussed what is and isn't part of the alt right. Breitbart is not part of the alt right although from what I understand they don't censor their comments so there are probably alt right people who post comments there.Comment

He has a big megaphone and he was encouraging other people who don't live in California to do the same thing which apparently a lot of people did. Trump barely won this election and I'm not talking about losing the popular vote. All it would have taken is 70 000 more votes in three states and Hillary would have won.Originally posted by Dinamita 03 View PostComment

At no point did he encourage people to vote either way. He was very critical of both and used his "megaphone" to inform Americans as objectively as possible, which was rare during this last election.Originally posted by Xoo View Post
If anyone is simple minded enough to be pursuaded by a public figure; political commentator, athlete, or hollywood figure then they shouldn't be allowed to vote.Comment

Breitbart was/is a major platform for the Alt-Right, and sure, there may be an ongoing disagreement among themselves on who exactly is or isn't the Alt-Right, but it's not as if the Alt-Right has a cut and clear philosophy that everyone agrees on, it's much more loosely connected and really if you want to get down to it, it was more about the "movement" than anything else. The Alt-Right can't be easily defined because again, it's various philosophies intertwined yet loosely connected. It's not like saying I'm a libertarian, or a socialist, or something that has a very clear core philosophy. That's why people have such a difficult time trying to define it and disagree who is even part of it.Originally posted by Xoo View Post
You also have to take onto consideration that a lot of people who are Alt-Right, and were in the thick of it all, are now distancing themselves from the term, because of the negative views that come along with it, mainly due to Richard Spencer the openly racist white nationalist got a lot of press, and other negative views. So you can imagine if you have a political career, or any kind of career in the spotlight, you're probably not going to want to be associated with that kind of hatred, so there is a lot of pushing away right now.
At the end of the day, the ALT-RIGHT was a far right group of people who opposed immigration and strongly agreed on many other things while opposing the traditional right wing Republicans that have been in the whitehouse.
As far as Breitbart goes, Steve Bannon referred to Breitbart News as "the platform for the alt-right." They were leading the charge. Now, again there is some disagreement and some distancing but that almost entirely has to do with the section that are white nationalists and not afraid to say it vs those who aren't or just don't want to admit it (because of what that can mean for their careers).Last edited by ИATAS; 02-22-2017, 11:20 PM.Comment
