Alt-right

The alt-right is a loosely organized far-right movement associated with white nationalism, opposition to multiculturalism, and an online political subculture. Its participants have used digital media, provocation, and political campaigning to promote their views.

Paul Gottfried: An American paleoconservative scholar who helped popularize the term “alternative right” in the 2000s. His use of “alternative right” supplied the movement with its name.
Internet meme: A piece of digital content that spreads through imitation and adaptation across online communities. Alt-right activists used memes to package political messages for rapid circulation.
Jared Taylor: An American white nationalist writer and editor who founded the publication American Renaissance. His writing and events linked the movement to an older white nationalist milieu.
White nationalism: A political ideology that advocates a nation defined by white identity or white political dominance. It is the central ideological current most commonly associated with the alt-right.
Unite the Right rally: A white nationalist rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 11–12, 2017. The rally exposed the movement’s street presence and ended with a deadly attack.
Richard B. Spencer: An American white nationalist who founded the National Policy Institute and promoted the term “alt-right.” He turned the label into a public movement identity through conferences and media appearances.
Trolling: The practice of provoking or disrupting online discussion, often to elicit emotional reactions. Some activists used trolling to normalize extremist language and obscure sincere political organizing.
Milo Yiannopoulos: A British media personality who became a prominent conservative provocateur in the United States during the 2010s. His high-profile appearances brought alt-right-associated politics into mainstream media coverage.
White supremacy: A belief system and power structure that asserts or enforces the superiority of white people. The concept clarifies the racial hierarchy underlying many alt-right positions.
Charlottesville car attack: A 2017 attack in which a driver rammed a car into counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally, killing Heather Heyer. The killing intensified scrutiny of the alt-right and its relationship to political violence.
