"Envy plus rhetoric equals social justice."
Alt-Lite, a portmanteau of " Alt-Right" and "Lite" is a broad ideological label describing a set of movements which portray relatively
moderate views while still maintaining a right-wing opposition to mainstream politics. It is economically center-right to far-right, civically variable and culturally center-right to far-right.
Alt-Lites are generally distinguished by having a much lower interest in the issues of race as compared to Alt-Rights, usually favoring some form of Civic Nationalism or
Cultural Nationalism. Instead, Alt-Lite is usually much more concerned with over the issues of culture, economics and what is being pushed by the state.
They are found in the right side of the Political Compass, with the overwhelming majority of them being in the Authoritarian and
Right Unity side, with a few on the
Libertarian side.
History
The term "Alt-Lite" began to be used around 2017, mostly following the aftermath of the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in reference to those who had criticized the rally and tried to dissassociate themselves from it. However, people within the western online right-wing held to similar views since long before then. The people who in 2017 would be associated with the Alt-Lite were associated with the 'Gamergate' controversy in 2014.
Variants
Anti-SJW
Anti-SJW is an overarching but predominantly capitalist and
conservative ideology in opposition to "
SJWs", "woke culture" and cancel culture. It emerged in mid-2011, when "
SJW" became a derogatory term and meme on
Twitter and KnowYourMeme.
Anti-SJWs are currently on
Twitter,
Reddit, KnowYourMeme and
YouTube; opposing
feminism along with
SJWs' hypersensitivity and generally opposing left-wing ideologies. They oppose gender ideology and the current
LGBTQQIP2SAAONPND+ movement; although some
Anti-SJWs are
LGBT, such as
Blaire White. Some claim that
Anti-SJWs have gotten just as hyped up as the
SJWs, and that a portion of them are sexist and racist.
Anti-SJWs support Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, and claim that feminists are hypocritical about the world of
Islam. Anti-SJWs are self-proclaimed defenders of free speech
(except on a few occasions) and are in opposition to Progressivism, claiming that it is
SJW.
Bannonism
Bannonism is a culturally right-wing to far-right, economically center-to-center-right ideology based on the views of Steve Bannon, former chairman of Breitbart and chief strategist of Donald Trump. He can be considered as being in between
Alt-Right and
Alt-Lite, as he's more moderate than the former but also more radical than the latter. Other than drawing from standard
right-wing populist rhetoric, he has been influenced by more radical reactionary thinkers such as
Julius Evola,
Aleksandr Dugin, and
Curtis Yarvin.
Bennettism/Liberty Hangoutism
Bennettism/Liberty Hangoutism is the political philosophy of Kaitlin Bennett, aka The Kent State Gun Girl, and Liberty Hangout, a media outlet which until recently self described themselves as being Libertarian. Bennett first gained media attention in 2018 for open carrying an AR-10 on the Kent State campus after graduating. A year later she married her husband
Justin Moldow, the founder of Liberty Hangout. The two of them run Liberty Hangout, which used to describe themselves as a libertarian media outlet, and now describes themselves as a
Conservative media outlet. However many describe it as promoting
Catholic Fascism and
Monarchism. Liberty Hangout are known for their inflammatory tweets such as wanting
Donald Trump to declare himself king,[17]or saying that those who want a separation of church and state are "losers and Satanists."[18] Due to these outrageous tweets some have speculated that their Twitter account is actually a
Satirical account.
Carl Benjamin Thought
Carl Benjamin Thought or Sargonism is a culturally center-right to right-wing, nationalist, civically moderately libertarian and economically center-right ideology based on the views of English political commentator Carl Benjamin, also known as Sargon of Akkad (his YouTube nickname), whose online content is principally against
progressive,
globalist,
feminist,
communist, and
anti-capitalist viewpoints in politics and culture.
Benjamin has previously called himself a
"classical liberal", despite his strong support of
conservative and
nationalist movements such as
Brexit, with him being a former member of
UKIP. He has since moved away from using the term to describe himself as has gone on to criticise the doctrine of
liberalism.[19] Benjamin initially also used to identify as a
social liberal, due to his strong support for
socialised healthcare and
welfare, even calling himself
center-left; however, he has since become more economically right-wing, believing that the welfare state should be reduced.
Chaya Raichik Thought
WIP
Gavin McInnes Thought/Proud Boys Ideology 
Gavin McInnes Thought is a culturally and economically right-wing, nationalist, civically varied (though he has claimed to be a libertarian) ideology based on the views of British-born Canadian political commentator and satirist Gavin McInnes. McInnes co-founded
Vice Media in 1994 and also created the
Proud Boys in 2016 in New York City, where he has resided since 1999. Much like
Bannonism, he is more radical than
Alt-Lite, but more moderate than
Alt-Right, having openly disavowed
white nationalist identity politics and preferring to call himself a
"Western Chauvinist," claiming that it allows you to have
black conservative friends who care about preserving
traditional Western values as well.
Kiwi Farms Model
The Kiwi Farms Model is an ideology that represents the users of Kiwi Farms, an internet forum dedicated to discussing internet personalities as well as current and past events.
Joshua Moon, also known as "Null," a former
8chan moderator, created Kiwi Farms in February 2013. It was originally known as CWCki Forums, and was created to discuss a frequently trolled
autist artist named Christine Weston Chandler, formerly known as Christopher "Christian" Weston Chandler, or simply "Chris-Chan," who is best known online for creating the infamous webcomic Sonichu. It soon became known as "Kiwi Farms" in 2014. Many people from different backgrounds have threads devoted to them on the website, including
LGBT+ people, disabled people,
"lolcows" (foolish people who don’t understand that their behaviours are amusing to others),
feminists, internet personalities,
journalists, political figures, the
BreadTube community, and people on the
Alt-Right. Many threads on the site consist of and critique
transgender people, who are commonly regarded as being mentally ill by Kiwi Farms users, with the terms "troon" and "tranny" being pejoratively used to describe them. When discussing
transgender people, users frequently refer to them by their "deadname," use their original pronouns, and often accuse transgender females (or "trans-identified males" as they are known as on the site) of being "AGPs" (autogynephilic transsexuals - males, typically heterosexual, who have sexual fantasies over the thought of being a female).
Politically, Kiwi Farms has users with a wide range of political beliefs; however, opposing transgenderism is widely accepted on the website, with TERFs and other
anti-trans figures being highly regarded. Despite having
Alt-Lite viewpoints in general, users have critiqued many
Alt-Lite figures, including
Carl Benjamin and
Jordan Peterson, as well as members of the
Alt-Right, most notably Ethan Ralph and
Nick Fuentes, with allegations of Nick being a closeted
homosexual who has watched
transgender porn.
Seibtism
Seibtism is culturally right-wing and right-libertarian, in which it is based on the political views of political activist and self-styled " anti-Greta" Naomi Seibt. It is based on
Anarcho-Capitalism, especially influenced by
F.A. Hayek, defense of
Direct Democracy, opposition to immigration (what got her into politics), opposition to abortion and maritime rescue and covid denial, especially against the PCR test. One of her most controversial things is her denial of climate change, especially activist
Greta Thunberg, also being against climate protection measures. Along with accusations of her being
Alt-Right, especially for herself declaring a fan of
Stefan Molyneux and her saying in 2019 that
whites come in being oppressed by Jews
. She stated that she has the possibility that Planned Parenthood would be trading body parts from aborted fetuses and that she was temporarily convinced that the Wayfair company would offer children on its website, she also had dealings with
QAnon. In 2021, her YouTube account was banned.
Tommy Robinson Thought
WIP
Personality
He often hangs out with Right-Wing Populism, and was seen storming Capital Hill with him. He constantly claims that he is not xenophobic, but sometimes he hints at racist comments. He also hates
"SJWs", and thinks they are all
socialists. Has the personality of a right-wing podcaster or a militia member.
