there is kind of an alt-right the only open question would be, if it describes the likes of president trump, milo, bannon or richard spencer more fittingly.

i would to Rijr77's posts, that those loose groups, only connected by the thinnest of threads, WANT to be connected, or - more to the point - embraced being connected to some kind of "bigger" goal.

Milo is not Bannon, Bannon is not Spencer, Spencer  is not Alex Jones, etc.....but the word "alt-right" is so powerful and creating so much unrest on the left AND the right, that everybody wants to get a piece of it, not least cause of financial reasons. Attention is capital, baby!

There is no ideological reason at all for non-ideological 17-year-old internet trolls, big capitalist crypto-nationalists like Bannon, attention-capitalizing post-ideologues like Milo and radical chic neo-neo-nazis like Spencer to work together on anything or be in the same party/group/club. It's just fun to do it.
