That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that we shouldn't use the term "alt-right" willy-nilly. Using it for actual alt-rightists is fine.
And I'm not taking your argument seriously. The alt-right works by being vague and "ironic" while phrasing disgusting ideas in a palatable manner. Against this backdrop, I find it far better to err on the side of over-inclusivity, if only to be safe as not doing so will give the alt-right a new way to rephrase its white-nationalism in a more palatable sense. The alt-right has every right to exist as a group and belief, that is how freedoms work, but it needs to be shunned and nipped in the bud socially so that it doesn't shift the overton window and normalize white nationalism.
I can understand where you're coming from, but I think what you're suggesting could very easily backfire.
But I don't want to go off half-cocked. How "over-inclusive" are we talking here?
Key words, "err on the side." And it is necessary
due to the alt-right's "ironic" use of racism and sexism. IDK if you've checked out the gamergate delenda est thread, but it has a bit of reasoning that applies: if we create a workable definition of alt-right and limit its use to those circumstances, then its supporters will simply avoid those parts to remain palatable to the general populace. The label "alt-right" is simply a repackaging and rebranding of the same tired racism and fascism that our grandparents and great-grandparents fought against. To focus on labels and hard criteria over substance and beliefs is to allow them to rebrand again in the future after the alt-right is shown for the hate-group that it is. Much like a point I made in that thread, if you define racism so narrowly as to only be saying the n-word, then it's totes not racist for those twitter-troglodytes to go on hate-fueled campaigns calling Leslie Jones "Harambe." Except for the fact that it is racism, it is offensive, and it needs to be called such.
Hell, if I had my choice, I'd call them fascists or nazis before calling them alt-right.
