I appreciate the commentary, [@Dynamo Frokane]. The only counterargument I should note about the Alt-Right being subtle is that they are anything but that historically. There is a reason they are "proud white nationalists", but I can offer that the anons are indeed an open door that way. However, most normies, sheep, useful idiots, however you phrase them, by the numbers are not going to know or understand what a "4chan" is, and those who do in the coming population of Generation Z matured in the belly of the beast; they are her offspring, they know the world of the internet better than any of us likely. 

This means several things, of which I note because they need be said. First, the way the Meme Wars operate is by agitating a small cluster of highly energized, motivated, skilled members and getting their increasing lessers to pass it on. By this ripple effect, by the time these "Alt-Right" concepts hit the regular person's radar, they have lost the kinetic energy, so to speak. The first exposure the layman will get is a news bit on how these "racist flyers" and "racist frog" are cropping up, or how the President of the United States is a bad person for retweeting a meme. This is why certain memes fly and others do not.

Second, the actual Far Right community does not have the understanding or foothold to accomplish this mission of being manipulative and subtle. The anons are a very different breed, in that they have become wielders of psychology and social dynamics better than multiple government agencies and programs dedicated to this. Mind you these are the group of people who "do it for the lulz" and to watch people flail, fail, and fall on their swords. The right-wing extremes? They haven't that broadness or channel to call on, in that their motives are set and defined, difficult to reword and rebuild as palatable or rational.

Third, I do not believe the Far Right to be significantly more populous so much as I believe the world and society took an incredibly powerful candle to those dark recesses. The same can be said from the other perspective, in that there are plenty of Alt-Left members, but they were dormant and in hiding for quite some time. When the attention, especially their martyring, they became slightly more powerful​ and obvious, at minimum more active. The Alt-Right camp I can safely say mirrored this reaction to a far, far more weak note; they had no foil, no enemy to vanquish, not like their ideological mirror did in Donald Trump.

As for the anons in this, the best way to perceive them is that they are the human subconscious allowed to run rampant without any real consequence or demerit. They will be as edgy as they like, as vile and violent as they please, and as nasty as desired. Much of this is just a conduit for what people contain in themselves daily, the neurosis, the same energy an artist can draw on creatively or a thinking mind to scheme. Their strong reaction to the social justice movement and their "playing" into the Alt-Right is more just matter of circumstance. For many, many years before the "Rise of the Right", anons were legendary for their Nazi roleplay, obscenity and hatred for just about anything mainstream.

At best you can view them as overlapping circles in a diagram, in that they share a pool of people, but not many. More than before because of how things were mechanized by the political climate, but what else could one expect? When you wish to turn an entire nation into a light authoritarian state backed by social progressivism, the other extreme will gain ground and mobilize.
