Has the alt-right led to a cyber right?
In this interview, the topic is the notoriously poor online outreach historically from the American political right wing. The last 2 years have added new context, primarily the following question:
Has the alt-right led to a more successful cyber-right?
The alt-right exists in great measure online...are they now better at using the internet for activism?

I'd argue there's certainly a pipeline online... you start with the "classical liberals" which can lead you to the alt-righters which can lead you to the neonazis. This guy made a video discussing this, I thought it was very interesting:

I hadn't thought of the pipeline analogy before but it actually applies quite well.

"Has the alt-right led to a more successful cyber-right?"
No, it hasnt. Still barely any success online, of course the 2-3 public figures of the alt-right (i really only know of the original alt-right, that being richard spencer and that other guy, cant recall his name, hes jewish is all i recall) receive a lot of attention. As do the few public liberals many of which are social liberals (i.e. for social programs such as free university, welfare and so on) but those liberals are regularly called alt-right becouse those lying progressives claim to be on the left. They even are brazen enough to claim to be liberals often times.

The Alt-Right has been better at using the internet than the right-wing had been in the past, that is true. I do think it is just the natural progression of things though. They tend to be a bit behind the times but their base has enough of a younger crowd now that this shouldn't be a surprise.
I can't say that I care though. Everyone should have a right to speak their mind. If they say something you don't like then defeat their ideas with better ones.

They use trolly memes to spread fringey wingnut ideas. Voat.co and the chans helped them develop their movement for sure.

I was just having this thought. It once was just crazy Christians and the 4 horsemen's debates for Athiests on YouTube. Seems like they just refocused there energy into pseudo intellectualism and political commentary. It is the new reality TV bullshit but for the next "stupid" generation.

I never saw an episode of the alt-right satirical show you mentioned, but I'm going to guess that one of the reasons it may have struggled to work is that it'd be comedic parody gold & start to get people thinking and that's not desirable in most areas, especially if people don't walk their talk. Plus, who wants to set themselves up as the butt of jokes?
I kind of want to check it out, in case it inspires something. 🤔 Anyone catch the name?
There's such a fine line between free speech & the kind of hate speech that incites ugliness & enables oppression and abuse. Throw religion into the mix & things can escalate so fast.
