altrighters just the other side of the same coin?

in regards to SJWs of course.
while SJWs are racist against whites, altrighers are usually genuinely racist against nonwhites.
they get triggered just as easily, say if you try say something nuanced about multiculturalism or criticize 'god emperor trump', etc.
both radical ideologues.
one fervorously defends political correctness, the other pushes an in your face political incorrectness which is often indistinguishable from being an obnoxious as*hole.
i think you get the picture.
i used to think anti-feminists were even more annoying than feminists when the reactionary movement was brewing, but at least they made sense.
i think the altright is another reactionary movement, but one that goes too far and isn't the right response.
the pendulum seems to swing a bit too strongly a lot of the time, with neo-nazi groups and the like popping up in response to the muslim refugee epidemic in europe for instance.

just wanted to get that off my chest really.. it seems that politically balanced and non-biased people don't exist these days, but that's probably just a confirmation bias on my part because you don't notice them as much and they aren't as vocal on the internet.

Well it has been described as neck beards vs leg beards before

SJWs have rose so much audacious **** over the last few years particularly in regards to 'nerdy' stuff(video games, sci fi, anime, internet) that a backlash was inevitable, they're reaping what they sow. How come you never hear Anita Sarkeesian talk about rampant misogyny and homophobia in rap music?

I think the "alt right phenomenon" is about 70% manufactured propaganda from the radical left and their media lapdogs; about 25% 4Chan trolling of the leftist media; and about 5% weirdo ethno-nationalist types largely operating out of their parents' basements.

Here's a timely in-depth commentary by the legendary computer programmer/hacker Eric Raymond:

I think it is the other way around, SJWs have been so divisive and untolerating of dissent on their censorship campaign for years now that a movement inevitably sprang up to resist them. A lot of the stuff that happened before this campaign like GamerGate set the table for what was to come, these corners of the internet already wielded political influence in previous presidential elections and they faced an opponent that united almost all opposition against her.

Genuine grassroots activism exists on the 'right' side now whereas the other side is almost entirely astroturfed, it was a convergence of a lot groupings and other factors that overthrew the political establishment in the GOP. Anti-establishment grassroots had become a dominant faction in the GOP. I don't think there has ever been a more astroturfed candidate in history of American politics than Hillary, she reminds me of Kim Jong-un in spirit and in dress when he's on state media touring some factory. It was smoke and mirrors and only someone super smart like I am seemed to understand this, Hillary was an intolerable candidate with a graveyard in her closet and an authoritarian mindset. Hillary was the candidate that was a danger to our constitutional rights, she was the chosen candidate of Wall Street & the bankers, the media stopped acting as an independent press and became propagandists for the state, Hillary was the WWIII candidate that supported thoughtless aggressive antagonizing of Russia and bizarre McCarthyite accusations of imaginary Russian allegiance. Bernie's grassroots counted for nothing and was simply co-opted by the DNC. Perhaps more attention should been paid to the fact that Trump was having all these massive rallies with 10k+ people everywhere he went while Hillary hid from view and struggled to fill the venues she did use, the energy behind the Hillary campaign was almost exclusively powered by the media and was entirely negative.

The difference between the grassroots in the GOP and the DNC are structural differences which rig the game with superdelegates and a willingness on the part of conservatives to stand up to their own leadership & lose elections if need be to support a candidate that fits their views. Democrats seem largely controlled by fear and progressivism is a semi-religious order that engages in the same black and white thinking as the most socially conservative Evangelicals, you cannot oppose them because that is opposing god in their eyes.

You can be ideologically pure and feel morally superior on the sidelines or you can you can play the game and win, Trump is actually trying to govern and get things done which means he has to work with people. He cannot, unfortunately, show up in DC on white horse and burn it to the ground and start over so Trump will have to find some middle ground with both parties which shouldn't be an issue as he revels in making deals. A guy that that can't work with people and just has contempt for everyone even if they deserve it will get froze out, see Jesse Ventura as Governor of Minnesota. Part of the reason I was drawn to Trump was his pragmatism, he might be a Republican but he is not an ideologue. I am pretty happy with Trump's transition, I am excited to see what he can do when he's actually president. I am a supporter of our constitution and the judges Trump has listed all pass the necessary litmus tests. I like his hands on approach and the personal advocacy he has done for American workers, I like how he has handled foreign policy and feel he is already better than Obama in this regard which is another big part of the reason I voted for Trump.

I am hopeful that Trump might actually be able to reel in Erdogan a bit and bring Turkey back into US orbit, Trump is already doing this with him reaching out to Egyptian president Sisi and Philippine president Duterte. For all this talk about supporting our allies, the Obama administration seem content to let go of very important strategic relationships and the reasons are not really clear. It seems like the Muslim Brotherhood has some influence in the US over certain Democratic politicians, Hillary most notably but Obama to a great extent as well. Most importantly I think he will repair the relationship between the US and Russia which will finally allow us to work for our mutual benefit and to maybe one day put an end to this 'War on Terror'. Regime change and global chess should not be the game we are playing, we need to respect the soveirgnty and leaders of other countries. I think Branstad is great pick for Ambassador to China with his relationship with Xi Jingping going back over 30 years. I am confident Trump can forge better relations with everyone he talks to and that has not been just Republicans. I like Michael Flynn and James Mattis seems like the guy we need for the job, it does not bother me having these generals in our government.

As for Hillary, there was not a single worst possible candidate they could of nominated from my perspective. I'll acknowledge these supposedly independent thinking 'progressives' when they start standing up to their own party, I like Tulsi Gabbard a lot but she's really the only Democrat I can think of since Kucinich that I found tolerable. I thought Jim Webb was a strong candidate but he's too conservative and a white male for Democrats to get behind. If there is no grassroots movement against the establishment then its you that is being had, you have to be willing to lose an election if it means defeating the enemy in your own party which you have to defeat before you start working on the other side, follow the model the Tea Party went after and primary establishment candidates. Derangement syndrome? I've been hearing this stuff my whole life so defeating Hillary is kind of like defeating Satan in my mind, I am hopeful she will be held accountable for her actions yet.

I don't think Trump has ingrained himself with all traditional conservative Republicans, he basically chased the Bush family and the neoconservative ideologues out of the party.

Both are examples of collectivist ways of thinking.

Both are whiny spoiled brats who are are overly into identity politics. Alt right are more trolls, SJW's are more bullies.

It is remarkable how they manage to force themselves into relevance. SJWs have their tentacles into everything when they should have been blocked, laughed at, and not taken the least bit seriously at every turn.

The alt right on the other hand is tiny. And yet still somehow managed to get Hillary Clinton and the media to treat them like a big deal and even attack Pepe the meme frog.
