you won't truly be a leftist until you replace all your pony sigs with Slavoj Zizec

You know, I really don't see many 'alt-right" sort of people DECLARING themselves as alt-right. It's been a label that the so-called "tools" from both (or just one) parties that don't particularly like them. I also don't truly understand why you brought up the creation of new political parties and why you'd equivocate that with the supposed creation of new genders. The resemblance in analogies is startling, yes, but it's quite off-topic.

<Snipped quote by Vilageidiotx>

Alt-right is not a dang movement! In the U.S.A, you either vote Republican or Democrat (or libertarian, etc. but the chances of MY preferred party ever winning a presidential election are unfortunately slim right now). Can we just agree that people who don't particularly ascribe to either of the parties in the U.S. two party system don't particularly care what percentages of each party they represent? Just let them do their own thing.

@Mistiel

There are people who identify with the term. In the case of the soft-nazi types, there is a movement. Like, I get what @Buddha is saying about how a lot of the Alt-Right is just people who are just fucking with the media and the general population because those things are easy targets, or how (like I said before) a lot of conservatives are throwing it around to make them feel special but are really just run of the mill center-right. But there is that soft-nazi thing, way down there, taking the term seriously. Whether they are of any consequence is a whole other matter of course.

You aren't going to have a thing that big, even if it is a joke, without a few autists taking it super seriously.

Also, the "alt right" is just that: alternative conservatism. It just means they don't agree with EVERY facet of conservatism. They might have some liberal ideas. They might take a page out of the libertarian playbook (woot!). When a loose group of people is considered by society to be "alternative", it just means that they don't really fit the mold for any other group. There are alt liberals, alt libertarians, alt Greens, et cetera.

@Mistiel

You are just describing a conservative, straight up. It's not like people who identify with this political movement or that political movement have to identify with the whole thing. You can be a conservative who is okay with gay marriage, or a conservative who believes in global warming. In those cases you are still a conservative, if most of what you believe is essentially conservative.

For instance, I'm pretty solidly left wing. But I agree with the Republican stance on guns. That doesn't make me "Alt-Left". If that's the way it worked, everyone would be alt-X, because only tools agree completely with one side of the political line.

In this case you are being exactly like those people who claim they have discovered a new gender, because they are attracted to different things about the opposite sex, or they don't like watching one particular type of tv show associated with gender stereotypes, or whatever. Because they don't fit all of one particular stereotype, they think they are something new, when in reality they are just one specimen of the old thing.

The only people I've seen turn the alt-right into an workable term for their movement, rather than just something for them to masturbate to how different and special they are compared to their grandparent's conservatism, is the Richard Spencer types. Soft-Nazi's and shit. The people trying to reclaim Neo-Nazism from prison gangs and conspiracy-addled mountain compounds, and introduce it into respectable society. Because in their case, they can legitimately claim to be part of something "alternative" to the traditional political movements. At least in the United States.

So at this moment, I suppose that's my personal working definition for the term. Alt Right means either a young conservative trying to announce a sort of special snowflake status because they listen to, like, Sargon of Akkad instead of Rush Limbaugh, or they are cleaned up neo-nazis caught up in the entire death of white culture meme.

That's why you gotta scramble that bitch, then let the bottom really cook to hold everything together.

@BrokenPromise

Then the bottom will have to get really hard, and you'll have to eat the thing like you are getting to third base with an oyster.

If you're a sixteen-to-twenty-four-year-old male, you should be smoking cigarettes.

@Vilageidiotx Well yes, that's your brain talking. But I'm sure your biology would be trying to guide you the other way.

@BrokenPromise

Eh, I dunno. I'm not really a boob man tbh. Not to say I am opposed, just that there are other things that catch my eye quicker. But even if attributes higher up the scale are in play, I'm still going to take the money.

FROM THE ASHES THE MOTHER OF ALL OMELETES WILL BE BORN

You are going to have a hell of a time cooking it all the way through without making the outside hard. I guess that is good if you like your eggs runny, but since I always thought runny eggs had the consistency and flavor of snot, I'm not super interested tbh.
