>>586489>>586400Thanks for those too.
So from what I've gathered so far I'm left with some conclusions:
>what the media call the "alt-right" doesn't call itself the "alt-right">the "alt-right" is an empty term and people who call themselves that are poseurs>what is called the "alt-right" is composed of many different online sub-groups>/pol/ has libertarian roots and the authoritarian change might have started as memeing, or was caused by Obama's presidency (I'll get back to that)Now my two possible hypothesis:
>the "alt-right" is part of the early stages of a new age of politics deeply rooted in and influenced by social mediaBut I don't like it very much, and it was probably already explored in the above study, or
>the "alt-right" is actually (American) neo-discordianism that started on /pol/ as subversion to the mainstream political stance and could take any other form depending on the historical context. I like that one because it would allow me to explore the polymorphic and chaotic roots that /pol/ has in 4chan.
