It's alt right propaganda. On the frontpage of HN.
They're not wrong, they're alt right.
The alt-right does not like them. You don't know what you are talking about.
all alt-right stuff. flag and move on
Can you not throw alt-right bombs into HN threads please?
If true, this would seem to validate some of the concerns the "alt-right" has been espousing.
The "alt-right" is mostly a boogieman for talking heads. One of my personal hobbies is hanging out in politically extreme internet communities (of both polarities) and arguing with people. Groups labeled "white-supremacist" rarely even contain a large number of white people.
"people disagree with me so they must be alt-right"Please.
If you're asking about "the alt-right", you'll first have to define it.As far as I know, that's not some duly constituted group - it's an insult used against a wide variety of people ("everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders") by their political adversaries.And the intention of the insult is to encourage exactly what happened here - to associate people like James Damore with people like those marching in Charlottesville.
I would say the "alt-right" rejects and anti-social people.
