"What are you doing here you normal cisgendered heterosexual who naturally thinks men are gross, and don't even want to think about men who mutilate their penis's".
Because that's what they're saying.

If you only chose one Alt-Right figure, then you might have plausible deniability. But since all seven of the people you listed are major figures in the Alt-Right, that is not the case. You thought you were being clever by dogwhistling your racism, but you could not help but tell on yourself. **** off, racist.
I wouldn't call Ayn Rand "alt-right" she was more of an economist who took ideas from Adam Smith and tried to rationalise the idea that selfishness is the only optimum. In an interview, she was asked where altruism comes into the equation and she replied "it doesn't."
Bold innovative thinker, didn't consider a key part of human nature which destroyed her theory. Oh well.

alt-right a right-wing political movement or grouping based in the U.S. whose members reject mainstream conservative politics and espouse extremist beliefs and policies typically centered on ideas of white nationalism.
Therein lies my point: one figure in isolation is not necessarily indicative of white nationalism; it is the collection of all seven figures in the deck of Alt-Right playing cards that matters.
The Alt-Right loves to pretend that they are "enlightened centrists" and "Libertarians" who reject the GOP, and just have "totally valid concerns about Jewish replacement theory."
Libertarianism isn't like that in Europe. Rand was Austrian, I think. Her theories tie closely with Nash's game theory, where if we all act for our own benefit and **** everyone else, an equilibrium is created where everyone is self seeking to the point of insanity, yet, because everyone is doing it, it becomes normal.
Even altruism can be used to manipulate people as part of the game. I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm saying it's an interesting theory that explains how humans operate when it comes to financial gain. The beauty is some people are very bad at it. Even better, Rand's theories were rejected because it was perceived as heartless (dem dam commies) but seriously, I think she was one of the great pioneers of individualism, which I'm assuming you disagree with.
This is why I spend most of time on the fence of the individualism vs collectivism debate.
