Hello, media! I noticed that you have been using the term "alt-right" lately, for example to describe president-elect Trump's choice of Stephen K. Bannon as "chief strategist and senior counselor to the president".
Not everybody understands what "alt-right" means, however. To quote from Wikipedia, it:
has also been associated with white supremacism, Islamophobia, antifeminism, homophobia, antisemitism, ethno-nationalism, right-wing populism, nativism, traditionalism, and the neoreactionary movement.
Now this is a mouthful, and I can see why you can't easily write "Trump picks white supremacist, islamophobist, antifeminist, homophobic, antisemitic, ethno-nationalistic, right-wing populist, nativist, traditionalist, and neoreactionary leader to one of the most influential positions in the country."
But "alt-right" really doesn't quite do this justice, does it? So let's compromise, let's just use "white supremacist", because that nicely includes the entire basket of deplorable adjectives already.
Instead of using "alt-right", say "white supremacist". It's easy! Just install this Chrome extension:
- clone this directory
- open chrome://extensions/
- enable 'developer mode'
- select 'Load unpacked extension...'
- select this directory
Et voilà!
