xtralettucetomatoe580 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 What is or was the difference between the two? I’m still confused as to the distinction. Why did the alt left only become a mainstream phrase after alt right came about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no such thing, but the alt right has to try and build a morally equivalent enemy on the left in order to justify their advocation of genocide. Truth is, the real left are communists and anarchists and everyone else is either a liberal or a fascist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are just describing the left. How is the Alt-Left different? Can anyone tell us this?! Who is “us”? Don’t answer that. Let’s just get all vortexy! So, this is a conversation that is much more fun in person because it doesn’t allow one side or the other to “wiggle” out. So let’s play this way if you want- Pick one: #1: Have you googled “alt-left”? I’m sure you have and I’m sure there is some inkling of a defInition there, so, what do you disagree with about those definitions? or, #2: Rather than me asking you what the “Alt-right” is, let’s go a different direction... what does the “Alt-right” stand for or what is it’s supposed purpose? Now, I’m not insulting your intelligence here because you clearly know that I am leading you. But aren’t you curious as to where? Well, that was insulting. I apologize. You clearly know where. But don’t you want to see how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
