Let me try to explain this so you can understand (but your brains are so scrambled at this point I'm not sure you'll be able to).


Alt-right and alternative media have nothing to do with each other. That's the first thing you need to have drilled into your noggin. I don't know where you got the idea that "alt-right" was short for "alternative media," but it isn't.

Alternative media refers to non-mainstream media, media that are an alternative to the mainstream media. Some alternative media are right-wing, some are left-wing, some in between. They promote a wide variety of causes. Some are even alt-right!

Alt-right refers to an alternative to establishment conservatism (hence the older long form, "alternative right"). It's an ideology centered on white supremacy and nationalism, not a type of media, mainstream or alternative. It has never referred to alternative media.

I suspect the term "alt-right" wasn't inspired by keyboard combos but rather by the alt.* Usenet newsgroup hierarchy way back when, before the Web:

Oh, and of course there is no such thing as the "Clinton Crime Family."

Haha yourself Ms Pretentious Loony Toons Butthead. This looks like it was just posted on Wikipedia because the Clinton campaign was accused of making it up. "Alternative Right"? Sure that has probably been around for awhile but once again for your dimbo head the term used is "alternative media" and it has been used for quite awhile. Of course Hillacious wouldn't want to use "alternative media" because it is also used by some liberal groups and probably neo-liberal or neo-conservative sites both embrace by the Clinton Crime Family.

The joke is Alt-Right sounds like a computer keyboard command. You and the Wikipedia posting is making a bit of a stretch.

    No, of course "alt-right" wasn't a term made up by the Clinton
    campaign. The term has been around since at least 2008:

    In November 2008, Paul Gottfried
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gottfried> addressed the H.
    L. Mencken Club about what he called "the alternative
    right".^[20]
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right#cite_note-20> ^[21]
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right#cite_note-21>  In 2009,
    two more posts at /Taki's Magazine
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taki%27s_Magazine>/, by Patrick J.
    Ford and Jack Hunter, further discussed the alternative
    right.^[22]
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right#cite_note-22> ^[23]
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right#cite_note-23>  The
    term's modern usage, however, is most commonly attributed to
    white nationalist
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_nationalism> and
    self-described "identitarian
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identitarian_movement>" Richard B.
    Spencer <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_B._Spencer>,
    president of the National Policy Institute

    founder of /Alternative Right

    And contrary to your earlier assertion, it centers, as I said,
    around white supremacy:

    "[Jared Taylor] founded the alt-right American Renaissance
    website 25 years ago, which started as a print monthly to
    emphasize race as society’s most 'prominent and divisive' fault
    line, and that mainstream politics and media tries to 'gloss
    over' the issue...

    "Asked to define what the diffuse alt-right stands for, Taylor
    said there were 'areas of disagreement', but that 'the central
    element of the alt-right is the position it takes on race.'”

    Nor is "alt-right" a short form of "alternative media." Alt-right
    refers to an ideology. Alternative media are a different animal
    altogether (and many are aligned with the left rather than the
    right).

    Like I said, Bhairitu, you need to go away and take a nice long
    rest, unscramble your brains from the trauma of Bernie's loss.

    There is no "Alt-Left.  "Alt-Right" was a term made up by the
    Clinton campaign. Even Alex Jones staff had never heard of it
    before.  The term used frequently is "alternative media" in
    contra distinction to corporate run "mainstream media" and
    includes a wide variety of political option from right to left.

        Trying to drag Clinton into the dark and ignorant depths of

        somehow being equal, and therefore making Trump a qualified
        candidate, by default. The guy remains a noisy zero, who has
        a couple of months left on the national stage, before being

        "This goes back to Sister Souljah. She was the activist who,
