The latest anti-alt right rant thread (get your daily dose here)
In another edition of racists holding on for dear life for relevance in our society and decent people everywhere tell you why:
Lets start with the most violent

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) counted over 100 people killed or injured by alleged perpetrators influenced by the so-called "alt-right" — a movement that continues to access the mainstream and reach young recruits.
Sound familiar. It should. It's because it is the core of young people who support Trump. It's also funny because they are consistently the ones who brag that their alternative white male knowledge makes them the always rightest. Quite the opposite in fact. Everyone is always more right than them.
They are also the most racist. No citations needed. The sun also rises in the East.

The alt right is overwhelmingly white nationalist
They are the lamest and least successful.

Unemployment and lower incomes are associated with “much stronger feelings” of identity and discrimination, Hawley found. The higher incomes go, the smaller the percentage of respondents who agree on all three premises of white identity politics.
They fail at relationships
Being divorced seems to boost the likelihood of believing whites suffer discrimination.
They think Europe is the greatest ever and espouse the tired anti semitic conspiracies which never go out of fashion.
Plus they are obsessed with minimizing and shifting the blame for slavery.

“If it were not for Europeans, there would be nothing but the third world. Racist really needs defined. Is it racist to not want your community flooded with 3,000 low IQ blacks from the Congo? I would suggest almost everyone would not. It is not racist to want to live among your own ... Through media [the Jews] lie about the Holohoax, and the slave trade. Jews were the slave traders, not Europeans ... many people don't even understand these simple things.”
They distrust non echo chamber media. Using terms like mainstream media.
The alt-right members trusted “‘alternative’ media” such as Breitbart and Fox more than mainstream outlets. They were much more likely to have a “social-dominance orientation,” or the desire that there be a hierarchy among groups in society.
They think people who aren't them are less evolved.

On average, they rated Muslims at a 55.4 (again, out of 100), Democrats at 60.4, black people at 64.7, Mexicans at 67.7, journalists at 58.6, Jews at 73, and feminists at 57. These groups appear as subhumans to those taking the survey. And what about white people? They were scored at a noble 91.8.
The comparison group, on the other hand, scored all these groups in the 80s or 90s on average. (In science terms, the alt-righters were nearly a full standard deviation more extreme in their responses than the comparison group.)
