@freemo
What you describe seems to fit with a very general "left I don't like" approach, as it definitely does not describe a single coherent political movement. I wasn't aware you were also using "alt-right" in the same sense though (or that it apparently had that meaning originally?). It's still confusing, because "alt-right" has a meaning referring to a specific movement too, while "alt-left" doesn't.
It also explains why many people who are called "alt-right" and deny that label, while all people called "alt-left" deny it.

@timorl Neither the alt-right nor the alt left is a "single coherent political movement" so that is true. Neither are organized self-described terms with an explicit set of official ideals.
Using it as a generalization is the only way either of these terms can actually be used.
I'm not sur5e a small minority of the alt-right embracing the label is much of an indicator of anything other than their own agreement that they dont agree with mainstream conservative views.
@freemo I think I broke the response thingy in my other toot, but anyway I wanted to thank you for pointing out that "alt-right" had a broader meaning before the movement took it as their name. I was very annoyed when I saw people using it in the "wrong" way, now it will bother me less. What will bother me though, is the fact than not enough people point out that the phrase has two quite different meanings. >.<
