What do you consider alt-right?

@HannahSky I don’t know I’ve been having some really good dialogue going on in these questions. A lot better than I thought and better on here than on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit

@TakingBackMidgard Twitter is garbage

@HannahSky I was never a fan of it to start and don’t really get it still.

Honestly I’ve had the best time getting to know people here than anywhere.

@SW-User We will never know. As far as unions go, unions are far different today than they were back then. The US didn't even have a minimum wage back then. There were few labor laws and few protections for workers. Workers routinely died doing there jobs. There was no OSHA. No Workers COmp. All of these things we take for granted in the workplace now were fought for by unions. If not for unions, we'd be in the dark ages in the workplace now.

And you know, you are at most 21 years old. You really have no idea what it was like in the 1990s, 1980s, or 1960s. You are really just guessing when you think you'd like 1919. But it's a cute, romantic, nostalgic idea.

@SW-User 100 years ago, things were kinda shitty tbh - it was the age of unrestrained capitalism and all of its consequences, and no social services at all. Old age was synonymous with poverty, and children worked in the mines.

But there were indeed strict immigration quotas, which were tightened up to keep the Jews out - and eventually helped exacerbate the holocaust.

@QuixoticSoul In 1919, the only people banned were Chinese. But others would come under strict quotas in the Immigration Act of 1924.
Latinos make the list. Go figure.

@TakingBackMidgard [c=#4C0073]That’s a kind of contradictory thing to want. People base their politics on their morals and beliefs. People also judge character from people’s morals and beliefs. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive. If you support politics that alienates or removes rights from certain groups then you’re discriminatory of those groups by default. That’s why it’s so hard to see eye to eye with the other side when one side is trying to take rights from the other. [/c]

@TakingBackMidgard Sorry for not replying I marked it as read accidentally. I think beliefs and politics are always a reflection of your character though. That’s why I see some conservatives as “bad people.”

@ShaythePanTransMan it’s all good, I fell asleep. And I get where you’re coming from. You see pretty well in the fundamentalist baptist community.

@QuixoticSoul I remember seeing a video of him holding some meeting in DC I believe and they were all dressed in suits giving the Nazi salute and saying Hail Victory and I cringed pretty hard at that. Some people need to really focus hard on history books.

@TakingBackMidgard Some people just didn't get the memo - you never go full nazi.

@GoldenWorm where have I been biased?

@TakingBackMidgard the entire question is framed as the term "alt-right" is over used and then you invite the readers to think the people who use it are either stupid (No idea what it means) or are looking for excuses (for what, I don't know but it's a negative to use them).

You have nothing allowing the possible positive use of the term and are only derogatory towards people who use it.

@GoldenWorm thanks for pointing that out. And trust me I do my best to make these questions don’t seem like a “gotcha” trap

I take what I hear from various radio shows, web series, pod casts, and other peoples conversations albeit in person or on the internet

I then try to make them into a controversial dialogue starter and see what you folks have to say about it.

You won’t see me here saying haha you’re wrong!

I more so just want to hear what you all have to say and to see if people from opposing sides can respectfully conversate over such matters.
