The Alt-Right movement.

Alt-Right definition: (in the US) an ideological grouping associated with extreme conservative or reactionary viewpoints, characterized by a rejection of mainstream politics and by the use of online media to disseminate deliberately controversial content. I've decided to write about my issues with this definition. Alt-Right is almost a dirty word, one that coincides with 'conservatism'. Since the rise of the liberal left, anybody that doesn't agree with the majority on the subjects that are brought to the forefront are regarded as problematic, or controversial. The Alt-Right believes in an alternative right, or conservative political affiliation, but with more liberal ideas. Alt-Right are pro-gay marriage, pro choice, against the death penalty, for drug sentencing, and for reforming prisons. The Alt-Right do though, have an issue with political correctness, and the ideologies have been spread via the medium of online media. Some of these mediums would include, but are not limited to: Youtube.com Breitbart.com Twitter.com, Patreon.com, and then some of the people who would be more well-known in the movement have their own websites, people such as Dave Rubin, Jordan B. Peterson, and Milo Yiannopolous. These people rose to prominence in their own rights with Jordan B. Peterson being a clinical psychologist, Dave Rubin being a journalist, and Milo being a journalist. These people and these views are being listened to and agreed with by millions of people, who for their own reasons, are more inclined to stick with the idea that the world that needs safe-spaces for people who's feelings are hurt are not exactly one we would need to be a part of. This ideology is in-line with nationalism, and wanting to keep your own country as insulated with your own people group, rather than letting it be filled with illegal immigrants, and making new laws to suit people groups of other nationalities that would not assimilate with the laws of your land.
