These changes were made with an edit summary implying that they were restoring a longstanding consensus; but looking back, I can't see it. That part of the lead and short description have been basically unchanged as far back as last year. We do mention the rejection of mainstream politics further down the lead (it's possible an editor lost track of that and thought it had been removed), but I think the older description summarizes the key points from the sources better. --Aquillion (talk) 11:01, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
What aspects of it do you specifically object to? There's a multitude of RS that describes the movement as white supremacist. KlayCax (talk) 20:36, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
The article says "alt" is short for "alternative", but:
The word "alt-right" comes from folks what are low down Nazi loving Old-Right-ers, who like German, so maybe "alt" is half short for "alternative" and half the German for "old"? Aside from the Old Right being what they like from the US, making out as if you doing things the "Old German" way is just the sort of thing "Folksy" loving Nazi scum do. If so this should be recorded in the article.
Was "alt" used in english before the "altright"? If not, then its influence on the English language should be recorded in the Popular Culture or some similar section.
Probably a moot reply, but 'alt' as a prefix has existed since long before the alt-right, and as a standalone abbreviation for the word 'alternate' in reference to all kinds of things, including online gaming communities. King keudo (talk) 21:47, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
