Anti-racist counter-protests at the 2017 Unite the Correct rally

Opponents of the alt-right accept not reached a consensus on how to deal with it.[i] Some opponents emphasized "calling out" tactics, labelling the alt-right with terms similar "racist", "sexist", "homophobic", and "white supremacist" in the belief that doing then would scare people away from it.[2] Many commentators urged journalists not to refer to the alt-correct by its chosen name, but rather with terms similar "neo-Nazi".[3] There was much discussion within U.South. public discourse as to how to avert the "normalization" of the alt-correct.[4] The activist group Finish Normalizing, which opposes the normalization of terms like alt-right, developed the "Stop Normalizing Alt Right" Chrome extension. The extension went viral shortly after the release of Terminate Normalizing's website.[5] The extension changes the term "alt-correct" on webpages to "white supremacy".[6] [7] [8] The extension and group were founded by a New York-based advertising and media professional under the pseudonym George Zola.[ix]

Some on the political right, including Milo Yiannopoulos, advise that the alt-right'southward entreatment would be diffused if society gave in to many of its less extreme demands, including curbing political correctness and ending mass immigration.[1] Yiannopoulos added that, as role of such an approach, the left should cease holding different social groups to different standards of behavior. He noted that if the left wanted to continue using identity politics as the ground of much of its mobilization, it would take to accept white identity politics every bit a permanent fixture of the political landscape.[i] Similarly, in highlighting the commonalities between alt-right and "left-identitarian" forms of identity politics, Gray suggested the alt-right's presence might encourage "the intersectional Left and its allies" to increasingly critique the theoretical ground on which their own identity politics is built.[10] Other commentators, like the conservative David Frum, accept suggested that if issues similar clearing policy were discussed more openly in public discourse, then the alt-right would no longer be able to monopolize them.[11]

Some opponents sought to undermine the alt-right's stereotype of leftists as being devoid of humor and joy by using its own tactics of humor and irony confronting it. For instance, when alt-rightists became aroused or upset, some of their opponents described them as "snowflakes" who were existence "triggered".[12] Anti-fascist activists also adopted the alt-right's use of pranks; on several occasions they publicized events in which they were purportedly meeting to destroy Confederate monuments or gravestones. Alt-rightists mobilized to publicly defend these sites, simply to detect that no such anti-fascist result was happening at all.[13] Inside feminist circles, the alt-right's desired time to come was repeatedly compared to the Democracy of Gilead, the fictional dystopia in Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid'due south Tale (1985) and its 2017 television adaptation.[14]

Diverse opponents have too employed doxing, publicly revealing the identities and addresses of alt-rightists, many of whom had previously acted anonymously.[15] This tactic discourages individuals from involving themselves in alt-correct activities to brainstorm with, every bit they fear that should they be outed as alt-rightists they might face repercussions such as job loss, social ostracization, or violence.[16] From 2016 onward, some anti-fascist opponents of the alt-right also resorted to physical confrontation and violence against the motion.[17] On Trump'south inauguration day for example, a masked anti-fascist punched Spencer in the confront when he was talking to reporters; the footage was widely shared online.[18] Hawley noted that this tactic could exist counter-productive to the anti-alt-right case, as it reinforces the narrative that alt-rightists peacefully engaging in their constitutionally-protected right to gratis speech were existence victimized.[xix]

Other commentators have chosen for more vigorous policing of the web by governments and companies to bargain with the alt-correct.[20] If denied admission to mainstream social media outlets, the alt-right would exist restricted to far-correct online venues like Stormfront, where it would be isolated from and ignored by those not already committed to its cause.[21] Many in the alt-right concur that denying it access to social media would have a devastating effect on its ability to proselytize.[20] It has nonetheless been suggested that such censorship could backlash, as it would play into the alt-right narrative that those campaigning for white interests were being marginalized past the establishment, thus aiding the movement's recruitment.[11] Suppressing the alt-right in this manner would also set a precedent which could exist repeated for other groups in time to come, including leftist ones.[22] Phillips and Yi argued that such leftist attempts to foreclose alt-right speech reflected an "disciplinarian shift" which was becoming "increasingly hegemonic" within the American Left and that endorsed the view that "limiting or preventing the public speech of historically privileged groups (typically, whites, males) is adequate until ability relations are equalized."[23]

In June 2017, the Southern Baptist Convention voted to "'decry every form of racism, including alt-right white supremacy as antonymous to the Gospel of Jesus Christ'".[24]

Conservatives [edit]

U.South. conservatives were more often than not quick to condemn the alt-right as a racist movement.[25] However, condemning it in this mode placed conservatives in an bad-mannered rhetorical position; for several years, conservatives had widely presented themselves as the challengers of liberal political correctness, but in condemning others for racism they opened themselves to the accusation that they as well were upholders of political correctness.[25]

Writing in The Federalist, the conservative political scientist Nathanael Blake stated that Christianity and Greco-Roman philosophy, rather than race, are the foundations upon which Western civilization was built and that the alt-correct is actually attacking Western civilization rather than defending information technology.[26] Writing for National Review, French called alt-rightists "wanna-be fascists" and bemoaned their entry into the national political conversation;[27] in the same publication, Ian Tuttle rejected the alt-right claim that "American conservatism was willfully complicit in the rise of the identity-politics Left" every bit "simply nonsense".[28]

In The Federalist, Cathy Young stated that the website Radix Journal had replaced the Alternative Correct website and describes a Radix Journal commodity on ballgame which proclaimed that the pro-life position is "dysgenic" since it encourages breeding by 'the to the lowest degree intelligent and responsible' women".[29] Writing for The Weekly Standard, Benjamin Welton instead described the alt-right as a "highly heterogeneous force" that "turns the left's moralism on its head and makes it a badge of honor to exist called 'racist,' 'homophobic,' and 'sexist'".[30]

Conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro chosen the alt-right "a garbage movement composed of garbage ideas." that "has nothing to do with constitutional conservatism."[31]

Liberals [edit]

Writing for The New Yorker, Benjamin Wallace-Wells described information technology every bit a "loosely assembled far-right movement", only he said that its differences from the conventional right-fly in American politics are more a matter of style than of substance: "One way to understand the alt-correct is not equally a motility but every bit a collective experiment in identity, in the same way that many people use anonymity on the Internet to exam more than extreme versions of themselves".[32]

Chris Hayes on All In with Chris Hayes described alt-correct as a euphemistic term for "essentially modern-day white supremacy".[33] BuzzFeed reporter Rosie Grayness described the alt-right equally "white supremacy perfectly tailored for our times", proverb that it uses "aggressive rhetoric and outright racial and anti-Semitic slurs" and that it has "more in common with European far-right movements than American ones".[34] [35]

Writing for Haaretz, Yishai Schwartz described the alt-right every bit "vitriolically anti-Semitic", saying that "[t]he 'alternative' that the alt-right presents is, in large part, an alternative to acceptance of Jews" and warned that information technology must be taken seriously as a threat.[36] Also writing for Haaretz, Chemi Shalev has observed that alt-right supporters of Trump "despise Jewish liberals with same venom that Israeli right detests Jewish leftists".[37]

Libertarians [edit]

Writing for Reason.com, Zach Weissmueller said that "Anyone who claims to care near individual liberty should refuse the overt racism in Charlottesville, the broadly defined alt-right and the watered down 'alt-lite'" and described the alt-right as being "about recapturing a nonexistent by through vague merely misleading appeals to Western values."[38]
