The Alt-Right

The Alt-Right, short for "Alternative Right," is a loosely connected movement that emerged in the mid-2010s, primarily online. It promotes nationalist, anti-establishment ideas and often rejects mainstream political correctness. Its members typically emphasize white identity and culture, sometimes endorsing racist or xenophobic views. While it claims to oppose political correctness and traditional conservatism, critics associate it with white supremacy and hate speech. The movement is decentralized, making its beliefs and tactics vary, but overall, it seeks to challenge multiculturalism and promote a perceived racial or cultural homogeneity.
