The alt-right: for the gentleman who hates the gays and the Jews, but not enough that he wants to get up early for church.
And even to lazy to go on a protest and have brawls with lefties.It really is Nazism, just 100 times lazier, isn't it?
All the propaganda and armbands, but no invading other countries for Lebensraum

Why I'll bet the sum-total of all the alt-right posters online right now haven't beaten up a SINGLE trade unionist!
...you really don't know what the alt-right is, do you?What's the deal with the alt-right?
Rampant inbreeding, heavy-metals poisoning, cranial trauma, bigotry established by fanatical religious beliefs, Luddite-esque denial of proven scientific facts, socialized ignorance, monolithic stupidity, or some unholy mix of all of the above.
Take your pick. Tinfoil hats, M-16's & bibles are optional.

No, the Dark Enlightenment is too autistic even for Alt-Righers.
From what I understand, one of the biggest Dark Enlightenment / NeoReaction proponents is a blogger called Mencius Moldbug, who has literally written hundreds of blog posts about Monarchism and 17th century literature.
While the Alt-Rights may (jokingly or seriously) blame the Jews for ruining the world, Moldbug picked a different religion: Calvinists. And Moldbug calls the ruling political and social order of these Calvinists "The Cathedral", despite the fact Calvinists don't build cathedrals.
I don't understand what the general term of "alt-right" is, and if it's meant to cover Trump supporters, I think it's retarded. But, if you're asking in general why this kind of a thing exists, allow me to explain.
Having grown up online in Northern Florida with two Bushes -- governor and president --, I was surrounded by religion and religious people, yet inundated with Leftist material. My mom is definitely anti-theist, my whole family is Democratic, and so is the Internet. It's pretty well known that the younger you are the more left you're likely to be. There were shows like Mind of Mencia and The Daily Show, who's ONLY MATERIAL was usually making fun of Bush. I religiously watched anti-religious documentaries by people like Bill Maher and Michael Moore. You grow up thinking that anyone who's religious or conservative is just some retarded brainwashed hick, a tool used by the corporations to continue electing themselves more power.
You now have an entire generation of white lower middle-class christian conservatives who have heard their entire lives that they are the dumbest shit hicks on the face of the entire planet. They're bad for being a man, they're bad for being white, they're bad for being Christian, they're bad for supporting traditional marriage and not supporting abortion rights. Whatever your opinion may be on political issues, these folk grew up hearing constantly how shit they are.
Y'know how people freak out over Islamophobia, saying that intolerance breeds extremism? It works both ways. If you're intolerant of people who are intolerant, you don't foster them into loving socialists who want gay muslim abortions. You turn them into Nazis who want all of this bullshit out of their fucking face and out of their fucking country.
And now all those angry pissed off rednecks who grew up with social media telling them they're shit constantly are at an age where they can vote. Hence, Trump. baybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Ask yourself why anyone should want the respect of someone who will always, always find fault with you on the most personal level, questioning even your worth as a human being, just because you don't agree with them. Ask yourself why anyone should give one flying damn about the opinion of someone who, no matter what you do or who you are, will still insist on holding up a picture of Ernest T. Bass and saying "Hurr hurr, that's you!"
Not to justify leftist BS, but that's what the alt-right also wants to do to people not with them
Hence, all the Pinochet helicopter and oven memes
The purge-happy members
Do you know what "edgelording" is? They're doing it to get a rise out of you and to enjoy a little "naughty" fun. You're way overrating their maturity.
For cryin' out loud, look at the composition of the "alt-right". They're all the hell over the place, demographically: straights and gays and everything in between, whites and blacks and whatever else you have, and everything from the most hardcore fundamentalist religious types to atheists. They don't even know who's alt-right and who's not, for that matter.
Don't go overgeneralizing. That's where this all started.
There's the edgelords, there's the true believers pretending to be edgelords, there's the true believers
I should've said "most of the alt-right" instead
but it's still hard to guess if they're sincere because, as you said, they're all the hell over the place
Yes, exactly this; it's basically being labeled a subhuman. No matter how smart, educated, or prosperous you are, you're mentally and socially defective. No matter how much time and money you give to charity, even if it's more than your political opposition, you're selfish. No matter how equally you treat people or how slow to judge you are, you're heartless and narrow-minded. Why? Because you dare to disagree. And worse, those who do claim the right beliefs are given a free pass for every crime and flaw of which you're casually accused, while being considered "good people".
