{{Quote|The Alt-Right is a threat to the establishment. We’re talking about the people who run the media.

The alt-right's initial formation is somewhat unclear. While paleoconservative Paul Gottfried first used the term "alternative right" in 2008, Richard B. Spencer launched an online magazine titled ''The Alternative Right'' as a way to trumpet his ideas. The Alt-Right had played a substantial role in the 2016 presidential election by supporting then-candidate Donald Trump, who has claimed to disavow the movement. A notable alt-right member, Steve Bannon, joined Trump's campaign while reporting on ''Breitbart News, ''exponentially increasing the attention given to the alt-right. | The alt-right's initial formation is somewhat unclear.

==Notable Alt-Right Villains== | ==Trivia== | ||
* Despite rejecting the group, former president Donald Trump has at times, made statements that the members have praised and had several alt-right members work in his administration. | |||
** Notoriously, Trump's response to the Unite the Right rally was controversial. | |||
* On the contrary, some members of the alt-right who emphasize on anti-Semitism dislike Trump and the Republican Party due to their continual support of the state of Israel. A good example is [[Robert Bowers]], though some praise Israel as being an ethnostate. | |||
* Some members harbor an intense dislike toward the state of Israel and it’s Prime Minister [[Benjamin Netanyahu]], with some even sympathizing for the state of Palestine, while others harbor intense dislike towards both, though some praise Israel and Netanyahu due to Israel being an ethnostate. | |||
* Many members of the Alt-Right have frequently praised dictators among other corrupt leaders worldwide such as [[Vladimir Putin]], [[Kim Jong-Il]], [[Kim Jong-un]], [[Alexander Lukashenko]], [[Rodrigo Duterte]], [[Jair Bolsonaro]], [[Viktor Orbán]], [[Bashar al-Assad]], [[Mohammad bin Salman]], [[Adolf Hitler]], [[Benito Mussolini]], [[Francisco Franco]], [[Augusto Pinochet]], [[Idi Amin]], [[Slobodan Milošević]], [[Ferdinand Marcos]], [[Saddam Hussein]], [[Muammar Gaddafi]], [[Robert Mugabe]], [[Joseph Stalin]], [[Emperor Hirohito]], and [[Hideki Tojo]], among others. The Alt-Right have also frequently given praise to [[Apartheid]]-era South Africa, the [[Jim Crow laws|Jim Crow]] south, and the Confederate states of America. | |||
*The Alt-Right has an intense hatred for liberal groups such as the Democratic Party and the European Union. | |||
*Many members tend to celebrate or make conspiracy theories about mass shootings and other heinous crimes such as [[The Holocaust|the Holocaust]], [[the Holodomor]], the [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|assassination of John F. Kennedy]], the [[American Civil War]], the [[assassination of Abraham Lincoln]], the [[Yugoslav Wars]], the [[September 11 attacks]], [[the Oklahoma City Bombing]], various mass shooting such as the [[Omar Mateen|2016 Pulse nightclub shooting]], as well as [[School Shooting|school shootings]], and the COVID-19 pandemic. | |||
*A major faction of the Alt-Right are the Neo-confederates, which are primarily concentrated in the Southern United States. This faction aims at restoring the [[Confederate States of America]] and reestablishing [[slavery]] for African-Americans. | |||
*Not ''all'' members of the Alt-Right are Islamophobic, as some Alt-Right individuals have recognized and accepted that their beliefs are similar to those harbored by radicals and fundamentalists, such as having similar beliefs regarding homosexuality, women, and harboring the same anti-Semitism. | |||
*Most of the Alt-Right are ardently against communism as well, with a common Alt-Right motto being "The only good communist is a dead communist." | |||
**A good example is the Alt-Right's reverence of Augusto Pinochet. Despite spending nearly two decades murdering, torturing and displacing the people of Chile, the Alt-Right frequently claims that he "did nothing wrong" and was just fighting communists in the country. | |||
*Many members of the Alt-Right have spoken out in favor of [[ethnic cleansing]] of non-Whites as well as establishing an all-white ethno-state. This is commonly known as the "[[Northwest Territorial Imperative]]". | |||
*Despite their hatred of Muslims and black people/African-Americans, a few alt-right members like [[Tom Metzger]] support the [[Nation of Islam]] and the [[New Black Panther Party]] for believing in separation of the races, and also support Islamist organizations such as [[Al-Qaeda]], [[ISIS]], and the [[Taliban]] for common ground regarding [[nationalism]], [[homophobia]], and [[misogyny]]. | |||
