Technically it's not "alt" when it's mainstream

@matrix no I mean it was literally a phrase made up by trump to equate the far right and far left. it doesn't exist as a coherent entity

@kirosaima
Well. That's certainly true, but the alt-right isn't a coherent entity either.
I'm only using the alt-left as a term because "SJWs" is overused and "leftist' or "the left" are extremely broad.

@matrix the alt-right is far closer to a single entity that the so-called alt-left is

@kirosaima
It's a small group of people with overlapping ideologies. Just like the "alt-left".
The main difference is that no one on the extreme left identifies as "alt-left", but many people on the extreme right do call themselves "alt-right".

@matrix extreme \m/ so gnarly dude
