Hi Oli. Why do you think young, disaffected, often white, working-class British men are drawn to the alt-right as opposed to other political group? Is it a somehow natural fit, or is it effective targeted marketing from alt-right groups?

where did I make the claim that it's particularly common?

Fair. Reason is that I am that demographic (although less disaffected these days) and it's fascinating to see so many FB friends from home of that same demographic choose the alt-right (insofar as that term actually means anything) for all/part of their identity, rather than the vast array of political beliefs there are

Although probably a lot of the reason it's supposedly interesting is that, as many comments here allude to, there is not, nor could there be, a fixed definition of alt-right so anyone commentating tends to talk past one another on the issue anyway
