<Snipped quote by Garattee>

I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding the alt right. They're not an organized group. There is no leadership called 'the alt right' and there is no 'alt right political party' or political leaders that associate with the alt right (and those that do, are most likely pandering, because if you call yourself an alt right person you're immediately out with 3 strikes.) There is no organized set of believes and rules for what they should believe in, contrary to say, feminism or libertarianism, who do have more clearly definable traits and beliefs.

I'm absolutely in agreement that its not a political ideology like conservatism, but much like something like BLM or Gamergate its movement, reactionary that seems to center around some sort of set of ideas. Now you are categorising them as edgy shit posters which a number of them probably are, but the reality is that the term Alt Right was actually created by Richard Spencer and there are actual websites, radio shows, and institutes dedicated to this thing. Now I don't know who 'truly' represents these folk but its not as fleeting and arbitrary as you are making it seem.
