:These sources do not support that this is regularly describing as intellectually diverse. Neither ] nor ] (Radix) are reliable for statements of fact, nor are they independent of the movement, so labeling them "supporters" is misleading at best. The Buzzfeed source doesn't really say that the movement is diverse, merely that it's "loosely connected", and that several followers' "political projects are a little hard to pin down". Calling that intellectual diversity is absurdly flattering. Otherwise the Buzzfeed article mostly reflects what figures in the movement say about it, and very little about what detractors say. ] and the ADF said the alt-right are white supremacists. That has nothing to do with diversity, intellectual or otherwise. |

:Regardless, there's nothing 'regular' about a single source. It also reads like an attempt at false balance. If sources are in general agreement (which they aren't) then this should just be stated as is. Since they are not, it's not appropriate for the article to divide sources into supporters and detractors just to create the illusion of consensus. This should be removed from both this article, and the New Right one. |

::The Weekly Standard source is a typo of some sorts. The correct Weekly Standard source describes the alt-right as "highly heterogeneous", which is a very close synonym for diverse, and is the best source for this point. The claim is backed up by an article in fusion.net which calls the alt-right "a loosely defined coalition" and an article in NRO which describes the alt-right as a "motley group". The claim that the alt-right is younger than mainstream conservatism has a number of sources.

I cut the sentence down to "The alt-right is described as young and diverse." Also, The Weekly Standard said "WPC14’s own website declares that “the WPC has become a venue for fostering difficult and critical dialogues around white supremacy, white privilege, diversity, multicultural education and leadership, social & economic justice, and the intersecting systems of privilege and oppression.”" and "The typical garb for WPC14 attendees ranged from hippie (old folks) to hipster (young ’uns), with common elements of rubber soles on every shoe and green-conscious water bottles dangling from every backpack." ] (]) 05:12, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |

|
:In this case, "diverse" by itself is far, far too vague and "has been described as" is a ], so that's not going to work. Poor quality sources can be found to support just about anything, so this would need to be either genuinely ubiquitous among reliable sources, (which has not been demonstrated) or it needs to be clearly attributed. |
|
|
:What on Earth does the demographics of the white privilege conference have to do with the alt-right? From that article it's clear that conference is ideologically opposed to the alt-right, and even that connection is ].

Alright, let's throw out the wPC14 source. Instead of "has been described", let's just have it say "It is young and diverse.", I mean, even from just looking at the websites this movement dominates, such as 4chan's /pol/, you get quite an impression of who the alt-rightists averagely are. ] (]) 05:37, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |

:Using 4chan to deduce that kind of thing is ], and those sites aren't independent, neutral, or reliable. That members of the movement consider it ideologically diverse, or that a handful of mainstream conservatives agree, isn't the only problem. "Diverse" is relative. From a neocon perspective like (a writer for) the Weekly Standard, Taki's Mag, Breitbart, and AlternativeRight may all be diverse, but they would still be within a narrow scope if judged by a more liberal source. We also have the ADF and others saying essentially that the movement is just part of the ] for white supremacy, which is itself just another way of saying white racist. Obviously not everyone agrees that this is simply "diverse", so that word isn't going to work. Whatever is used needs more nuance and context, otherwise it's puffery. ] (]) 06:32, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |

::::No, I don't think so. That is better, but it still doesn't address the presence of differing viewpoints. There are few 'detractors' who are actually agreeing with the description, and even the 'supporters' are flimsy on this. Welton lists "neo-reactionaries, monarchists, nativists, populists, and even a few self-declared fascists" as the example of the movement's diversity, which overlooks that all of those things are compatible with each other and very frequently overlap to a large degree. Mussolini had a king, after all. It's a baffling statement that only makes sense from a very granular and exclusionary view of conservatism that is not supported by outside sources or common sense. Additionally, this is an opinion which should not be used to support a generalized statement. |
|
|
::::It would be better to describe what the variety actually is. The article attempts to do that already, and I don't think anyone is likely to take away the idea that an Internet-based movement is going to have hard and fast rules. I don't understand what is clarified by emphasizing this ideological diversity point, other than perhaps making the movement look less race-obsessed, which doesn't seem all that neutral. All movements have some ideological variation, so this needs real context, not just a thesaurus. |
|
|
::::I don't think "loosely defined" or "motley" are convincing on this point, either. "Loosely defined" is used in "..a loosely defined coalition of self-described racists." Motley is used in the context "...they're a motley group of white nationalists and wanna-be fascists." That doesn't mean that they are ideologically diverse, it just means that they share a common focus on power and racism. ] (]) 07:20, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |

The penultimate paragraph in the Tactics section contains the following passage: |
|
Because that's about the Alt-right movement, that's why it matters on this article. Ok, "Ideologically mixed"? "Ideologically divergent"? Pick one or help think one up. ] (]) 07:35, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |
|
|
:Let's go with the sentence "The alt-right movement is younger than mainstream American conservatism and is ideologically mixed." How about that? Denarivs also sourced that it's younger than mainstream American conservatism. ] (]) 07:46, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |

” In 2017, a wave of threats began being made to Jewish Community Centerswhich some press sources attributed to the alt-right. Another Jewish target was the conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, who was sent messages stating that he and his children "will go to the ovens". “ |
|

This use of the passive voice, (“a wave of threats began to be made” who made the threats?) coupled with the immediately following sentence starting with “another Jewish target” strongly implies that the alt right was behind the community center bomb threats. |

However, if I actually click on the hyperlinked article about the 2017 Jewish Community Center bomb threats, I discover that they had nothing to do with the alt right. Instead, they were perpetrated by an Israeli Jew and a leftwing black journalist. |
|
::::Yes, but it's not neutral, and not well supported by sources, so being interesting and relevant aren't good enough. What does "ideologically mixed" mean? It's still far too vague. Who is actually saying it's ideologically mixed? It's adherents? Secondary sources are weak on this, and this seems like cherry-picking to support a POV. ] (]) 07:53, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |

:"Ideologically inclusive" has exactly the same problems. The alt-right is not especially inclusive by objective, outside standards, only by inside accounts. The alt-right ignores or disagrees with issues outside of a narrow focus on race and nationalism, but calling that inclusive is misleading. The article should not imply a broader range of positions than is supported by independent sources. Outside of tribalism and infighting, the actual substance of these 'ideologies' is pretty consistent and narrow in scope. Being vague about preferred terms isn't the same as true ideological diversity. I've rewritten the content to incorporate it into the surrounding sentences: "The alt-right encompasses neo-reactionaries, white nationalists, nativists, and many other political position. Commonalities shared across the otherwise loosely defined alt-right include anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist views, disdain for mainstream politics, and strong support for Donald Trump." ] (]) 23:14, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |

:::So what qualifies as an "alternative right-wing ideology"? Isn't that just another way of saying "alt-right"? So basically this is saying "the alt right includes alt-right ideologies", which is a tautology. The sources don't support that this universally accepted as any synonym of diverse. Among other problems, those sources are either primary from within the movement, or they are quoting people within the movement, or they are opinions which have not been given proper attribution. I am trying to give you multiple specific, policy-based reasons this won't work, and you are responding with "well, I disagree", and that it should be included because it's interesting.

:It seems to me like this is an important and well cited claim for the article. It's useful both intrinsically for describing the subject, and also for explaining the article's general lack of specific claims about the alt-right. It's well sourced (the Weekly Standard source is particularly explicit) and we can clearly state who makes the claim (liberals, conservatives, and self-identified alt-right people), which avoids ]. The line before it was removed had 5 reliable sources supporting it, which seems to be plenty, and is much more than any other part of the article. The specific phrase used doesn't seem to matter very much, but "ideologically varied" seems particularly neutral and specific. Also, I've gone ahead and added back the line "The alt-right is younger than mainstream conservatism" since it was removed accidentally, is well sourced, and doesn't seem to be under dispute.

::The Weekly Standard article is the most explicit in this point, but it's also an opinion piece which should not be used to make generalizations. As described above, I don't believe the attached sources actually supported the general point, and not all are even usable. ] doesn't make bad sources good. Labeling commentary as liberal, conservative, etc. is dicey, as it's essentially subjective, and therefore makes the weasel problem worse. ] (]) 01:12, 11 February 2016 (UTC) |

We should incorporate some of this article into a new section we can make, ], on the Donald Trump page. Let's discuss how we should do it. ] (]) 22:23, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |

The penultimate paragraph in the Tactics section contains the following passage:
” In 2017, a wave of threats began being made to Jewish Community Centerswhich some press sources attributed to the alt-right. Another Jewish target was the conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, who was sent messages stating that he and his children "will go to the ovens". “
This use of the passive voice, (“a wave of threats began to be made” who made the threats?) coupled with the immediately following sentence starting with “another Jewish target” strongly implies that the alt right was behind the community center bomb threats.
However, if I actually click on the hyperlinked article about the 2017 Jewish Community Center bomb threats, I discover that they had nothing to do with the alt right. Instead, they were perpetrated by an Israeli Jew and a leftwing black journalist.
“In 2017, a wave of threats began being made to Jewish Community Centers which some press sources *wrongly* attributed to the alt-right; *these threats were actually perpetrated by an Israeli Jew and a leftwing black journalist, neither of which had any connection to the alt right*.” Hoax Tree (talk) 11:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Lightoil (talk) 04:00, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
