"Alt-right", how close is it to "neo-nazism-lite"

[steve2470]

"Neo-nazism-lite" = Neo-nazism without the obvious anti-semitism

Every time I see the phrase "alt-right" in the media, I think of neo-nazism immediately. They just don't get into the anti-semitism because they know they would get shut down instantly if they did that. Am I the only one ?

1. I consider alt-right and neo-nazi

to basically be synonyms.

2. Not in public!!!

They don't get into the anti-semitism, publicly! Behind closed doors, you can be sure they're reading the Protocols of the Elders of Zion!

The alt-right are nothing more then neo-nazis, who are cowards!!!

3. Don't forget the "Turner Diaries" too

or at least in picture book form since many are probably reading challenged.

4. They're just nazis. There's no "neo" about it.

Don't forget, there are acceptable and unacceptable Jews. Steven Miller, for example, former principal aide to Jeff Sessions and now in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history, would probably in the current political climate be acceptable.

5. I always say neo-nazis because my understanding is...

that the original Nazis (1933-1945) are almost all dead now, so the current generation has to be called "neo". Am I incorrect in my understanding ? I'm definitely not an expert on this.

6. They still have plenty of obvious anti semitism

There are "alt right" caricatures of Jews that look like Der Sturmer

7. oh wow I wasn't aware of this!

Even more reason for the media to just label them neo-nazis instead of the polite term "alt right"

8. not noticeably lite and no shame

9. its "-lite" away from "neo-nazism-lite".

10. There are so many definitions of it I am not sure what it is.

Some of them might be neo-nazis but others seem to just fit the "angry white man" classification. I like to think of the alt-right as talk radio for the younger generation. Much of what they say is not really new. They say many of the same things you would hear on talk radio only they are online and that gives them more freedom to be vulgar. Vulgar comedy is a big part of online right-wing culture.

11. I see them as one and the same. Nt
