Define alt right.
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 wasn't trying to deny anything, I asked for your definition of alt right.
It should take about one sentence to define.

Every single person you listed is a figure in the Alt-Right. You are not clever, you are a racist.
Bold innovative thinker, didn't consider a key part of human nature which destroyed her theory. Oh well.

Youre going in circles to not define it, so I'll do it for you.Alt right means alternative right, aka not gop.
That's literally it. It's telling you couldn't tell me that.
Nice try, *******:
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.
Moreover, you need to read about the Libertarian-to-Alt-Right Pipeline.
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."

People hate the Jews because they're money lenders and people associate money with the anus and shit.
Libertarianism is at direct odds with any form of nationalism
Originally posted by Adam_PoELibertarianism 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.
