How would you define alt-right?

I've seen a number of definitions of it, and also notable people included withing the definition who seem completed different in terms of how they express their opinions, whether they're open to civilised debate and whether they're pushing radical dogma.

For example Tommy Robinson and Jordan Peterson being an obvious example.

Thanks for the response!

It's interesting, in the past I've been drawn to people like Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Sam Harris etc. who have/are pushing back against some growing (what I would have called) extreme left wing views. However I have quite easily drawn the lines on anyone who is either just a provocateur like Milo Yianopolis, or any white supremacists or nationalist types. Whilst I can retrospectively now see that idolising anyone is dangerous and likely dogmatic, the whole supremacists just seems obviously despicable or even as a minimum obviously illogical.

I haven't actually come across your work but I will now watch your doc and keep trying to grow my understanding or lack thereof :)

Thanks for book recommendation too!
