The term "Alt-Right" refers to a loosely connected far-right movement that emerged in the United States during the 2010s. It is characterized by its rejection of mainstream conservatism and its promotion of white nationalism, anti-immigration sentiments, and various conspiracy theories. The movement gained visibility through social media and online forums, attracting individuals who feel disillusioned with traditional political ideologies. Members of the Alt-Right often use provocative language and memes to spread their ideas, and they frequently engage in online activism. Key figures associated with the movement include Richard Spencer and Milo Yiannopoulos. The Alt-Right has been criticized for promoting hate speech and fostering division within society.
