Alt-right is a term devoid of meaning, it has been abused so badly and so often. No one can agree on what it means, so it cannot be parsed as anything more than "those people I don't like, who entertain bad thoughts."
- perilunar 7y agoI don't think it's devoid of meaning, but its use is telling. It's usually used to refer to libertarians and classical liberals by those who don't understand them, i.e. it's often a sign of ignorance. Sometimes it's used deliberately as a smear to suggest people are fascists or neo-nazis.
