“ ” But Orcs and Trolls spoke as they would, without love of words or things; and their language was actually more degraded and filthy than I have shown it. I do not suppose that any will wish for a closer rendering, though models are easy to find. Much the same sort of talk can still be heard among the orc-minded; dreary and repetitive with hatred and contempt, too long removed from good to retain even verbal vigor, save in the ears of those to whom only the squalid sounds strong. —J. R. R. Tolkien, Appendix F of The Return of the King[1]

The alt-right uses a lexicon filled with memes, stolen left-wing terminology with altered meanings, and in-jokes. Whether this is because the alt-right is just a bunch of cringey manchildren or because they hope to hide their racist intentions, the world may never know. [note 1]

Terms [ edit ]

The OK Hand Sign, emojified as 👌, is a dogwhistle that alt-righters use to show that they are alt-right without explicitly stating it, echoing both Trump's and Pepe's usage of the sign.[2] The alt-right use originated as bait for a /pol/ "prank" or trolling attempt,[3] but as the media failed to fall into the trap, its usage rapidly shed whatever irony it had. As of January 2018, Snopes has listed the symbol as ambiguous as to whether it is an alt-right symbol or alt-right trolling.[4] The sign is also used relatively innocuously in the "Circle Game".[5] What makes it so devious is that it can be very difficult to know if someone is using it as a dogwhistle or as a harmless hand sign.

Milk, emojified as 🥛, is another dogwhistle similar to 👌. This dogwhistle originated from a 4chan thread[6] centering around a Nature article about a genetic mutation in Europe that caused lactase production and eliminated lactose intolerance in adulthood.[7] Ironically, a similar mutation arose independently in Africa.[8] Whether as a form of dimwittery or trolling, some in the alt-right have also in engaged in milk chugging.[9]

🐸 is the emoji form of Pepe.

The doubled ⚡, to the alt-right, does not represent two ordinary lightning bolts, but the insignia of the Nazi SS, the SS bolts. To obfuscate its true meaning to those not in the know, the two emoji may be placed on either side of a name, word or phrase.[10][11]

The 🤡🌎 emoji form of Clown World.

The pine or spruce tree emoji 🌲 expresses a combination of "Nordic" roots and alt-right sympathies, especially as connects to ecofascism.[12][13][14] Note that this may also be used by people in the Pacific Northwest, say, or who are interested in conifers, so context is important.

The bear (🐻) emoji, especially alongside the hashtag #unBEARables, denotes fans of alt-right internet personality Owen Benjamin.[15][16][17] (The bear may also be used more innocuously by people from California, whose flag features a bear. Again, context is important.)

A Twitter profile displaying "🏳️‍🌈⃠"

The self-explanatory "no gay" (🏳️‍🌈⃠ ) sign, the LGBTQ+ Pride flag emoji overlaid with (or aside) a crossout unicode character, appears among Twitter and other online alt-righters as an endorsement of homophobia. The overlaid version was first found around February 19th, 2019 and at first it was thought it was an official emoji. However, it was later found to be a character known as the Zero Width Joiner,[18] which can be used to combine unicode characters to make new ones, most notably emojis. Many emoji fonts however simply display the emojis overlaid into one another if no official combined emoji exists, resulting in the overlaid emoji.

Triple parentheses (also (((echoes))) or coincidence markers) are used to highlight those of Jewish or partial-Jewish ancestry, as such: (((NAME))). Users of triple parentheses allege that triple parentheses highlight how much control Jews have over the world, which bears close resemblance to the "International Jewish Conspiracy" conspiracy theory, sometimes indicated with "(((they)))".[19] (Or: It's a convenient way to poison the well by smearing someone or something as Jewish, in a racist appeal to identity.) The Nazi blog The Right Stuff calls these cases "coincidences" in which "Jewish surnames echo throughout history".[20] The hashtag #Cohencidence (which trended on Twitter for a while) is linked to the idea of coincidence marking, as a portmanteau of the word "coincidence" with the common Jewish surname "Cohen".[21]

Intentionally using triple parenthesis around one's own name (e.g. on Twitter) is sometimes seen as an act of defiance against the alt-right.[22]

Sometimes used in an inverted manner )))like this((( to signal that one, or someone else, is an antisemite.[23][24]

See Three Percenters

13%, 13/50, or 13/52 is a racist dogwhistle for African American people, in reference to the supposed statistic that "despite being only 13% of the population, black Americans commit approximately 50% of homicides in the USA" or "despite making up only 13% of the population, blacks make up 52% of all homicides in the United States".[25][26][27] Similarly, 13/90 refers to a related claim that 90% of all violent interracial crimes in the U.S. are committed by blacks against whites.[28] Never mind that these figures are decades old,[29] and that based on numbers arrested, black Americans have gone from committing 49.3% of all violent crimes in 1995[30] to 37.5% in 2016-2017.[31][32] Since these statistics are based on arrests, not convictions, they are subject to bias from racial profiling. One study estimated that as much as 16-33% of arrests of racial minorities could be due to racial profiling in areas that have not had police reform.[33]

41% is a transphobic dogwhistle referring to suicide statistics about trans people. According to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, 41% of trans people have attempted suicide.[34] Transphobes often misrepresent this statistic as the percentage of trans people who have committed suicide, often posting it as a way to implicitly harass trans people by suggesting they should commit suicide.[35][36]

Amerimutt

Also known as Amerimutt, La Creatura, Le 56% Face, or Der Untermensch; it refers to the claim that the USA is 56% white.[37]

109, 110 [ edit ]

109 stands for the 109 locations that Jews were alleged to have to have been expelled from, and of course implies it was their own fault every time. Nazis usually conflate these locations with 'countries'.[38] One may also see a 110, meaning that Jews need to be kicked out from another country.[39][40]

1290 [ edit ]

1290 was the year that Jews were expelled from England by King Edward I. Jews were not allowed to return until Oliver Cromwell readmitted Jews to Britain in 1656.[41]

1488 [ edit ]

1488[42] or 14/88[43] is a reference to two racist concepts, the Fourteen Words created by white supremacist David Lane ("We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children," or more rarely "Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth") and 88 (Which originally referenced Lane's "88 Precepts " but now represents two H's (8th letter of the alphabet) to make "HH", for Heil Hitler. ) It is claimed that the 14 words were inspired by a specific sentence from Volume 1, Chapter 8 of Mein Kampf which is exactly 88 words in length, though neither Lane nor his publisher Fourteen Word Press ever claimed this and it is probably a coincidence.

In short: If their username has "14" and/or "88" in it and they whine about white fertility rates, get out the Nazi-beating-stick.

Ally [ edit ]

See cuck.

Ally points [ edit ]

The reward gained for virtue signalling. Ally points place the recipient slightly higher in the eyes of the leftist overlords. They are revoked at the first sign of disloyalty. "Brownie Points" is a similar concept, albeit with the added bonus of infantilizing the other side by implicitly comparing them to children expecting sweets as a reward for good behaviour. Used sarcastically by the left as well, to call out performative wokeness.

See the main article on this topic: Alt-center

A misleading term used by some racialists in an attempt to portray themselves as moderates.

Short for "Alternative Christianity", Alt-Christianity is used by alt-righters who openly believe in the religion of "Christianity". Many alt-righters that believe in Christianity share similar views to the hateful Christian Right, with a twist of white supremacy into the mix. Prominent Alt-Christians include the Ku Klux Klan, Theodore Beale, Rick Wiles, Matthew Heimbach, InfoWars, John Earnest, Pastor Steven Anderson, Jesse Lee Peterson and Christian Fascists.[44] Not to be confused with cultural Christianity, which despite its name is a secular orientation (though one with quite a few alt-right adherents in its own right). The term Christofascism is also different, and is generally associated with theocratic Christians.

The alt-left (also CTRL-left) is a term that The New York Times claims was made up by the right to create a sense of false equivalence between the far right and "anything vaguely left-seeming that they didn't like."[45] The term was originally coined by Robert A. Lindsay to describe some on the far-left moving away from identity and social justice politics and moving towards focusing more on economic populism.[46] — the opposite of those whom the alt-right (theoretically) use the term against, who would presumably be those who double down on identity politics and the like. It also originated as a term used by centrist and moderate Democrats against the far-left within the party (as well as left-aligned independents) who support "progressive ideals" (like pushing Seth Rich murder conspiracies, praising Bashar al-Assad, claiming chemical attacks were false flags, and still denying that Russia meddled in the US election).[47][48][49][50][51] The term has even been used by Hannity to describe mainstream media.[52][53][54]

The term "regressive left" is often used as a substitute for "alt-left" and a shitty insult for the far-right to use against the far-left ("see? the Left has crazies, too!"). However, the original meaning of the term "regressive left" was as a political epithet against liberals/leftists who allegedly fail to criticize reactionary or ideologically authoritarian elements within radical Islam — or Islam in general, depending on who you talk to — in the name of tolerance, multiculturalism, diversity and/or other forms of alleged Cultural Marxism. The term has also seen some use among leftists who are (seen as being) too friendly towards authoritarian regimes as long as they profess to be "anti-imperialist".

Alt-lite (or alt-light) is a loosely-defined term used refer to at least one of the following:

a subfaction / breakaway faction of the alt-right that wants to steer the alt-right towards more (read: relatively ) moderate Trump-esque grounds, hoping to use this "moderacy" to "re-take" Europe with candidates such as Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders. Steve Bannon is an example of the alt-lite. Bannon, who is a racist but publicly disavows ethnonationalism, now regards it as a mistake to have ever identified his publication Breitbart, and by implication himself, as part of the alt-right, and he is not the only alt-lite individual to feel this way about the alt-right. It's possible that Bannon got played in this regard by his erstwhile "journalist" Milo, who posed as a part-Jewish "controversial gay conservative", but was secretly an antisemitic alt-right member hobnobbing with alt-right individuals like Richard Spencer and trying to use Breitbart to build a recruitment pipeline from more conventional right-wingers into the alt-right. (In 2018, Milo was asked repeatedly but was unable to provide any hard evidence of his claimed Jewish ancestry. [55] )

that wants to steer the alt-right towards more (read: ) moderate Trump-esque grounds, hoping to use this "moderacy" to "re-take" Europe with candidates such as Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders. Steve Bannon is an example of the alt-lite.

(In 2018, Milo was asked repeatedly but was unable to provide any hard evidence of his claimed Jewish ancestry. ) right-wing individuals whose political positions are dangerously close to the alt-right but generally stopping short of explicit white nationalism.

The alt-lite thus hopes to abandon (overt) anti-semitism and racism, which upsets the more militantly white-nationalist alt-right subfaction. "Alt-lite" is both a pejorative (similar to cuck) slung at alt-rightists who aren't racist enough, and a self-description of the Proud Boys subgroup.[56]

The alt-lite is willing to embrace most other forms of bigotry: according to the Anti-Defamation League, the alt-lite "embraces misogyny and xenophobia, and abhors “political correctness” and the left."[57]

See the main article on this topic: Alt-right

The alt-right (also new right or dissident right) is the dominant group within the regressive right. The term is supposed to distinguish them from neocons, who are held to have betrayed conservatism by being globalists. The alt-right's fundamental beliefs are:

The alt-right bundles these concepts into the feel-good buzzword of Western civilization, which is an Unquestionable Good Thing.

Many alt-righters are (literal) Nazis or fascists. This stems from the belief that the actor behind the above attacks is "The Jews". Those alt-righters who are not Nazis generally hold that Cultural Marxists and/or "globalists" are the ones pulling the strings (and these terms can serve as antisemitic dogwhistles for Jews). This conspiratorial thinking underlies much of alt-right rhetoric about the liberal media and an ongoing culture war.

The alt-right does not endorse any particular economic views, though they typically oppose economic globalization on the basis of "foreigners taking our jobs and controlling our companies" arguments against outsourcing and foreign investment respectively. As such, alt-right is essentially synonymous with extreme social conservativism. Given that the alt-right and the Religious Right both whine about the same things, this isn't hard to believe.

Short for "Alternative South", Alt-South is a term coined by Alabama native, anti-Semitic racist, and Occidental Dissent writer Brad Griffin to refer to a sub-section of the alt-right that combines racial Neo-Confederate/Southern Nationalism with the tactics and ideology of the alt-right as an alternative to mainstream conservatism in the South.[58] The Identitarian organization Identity Dixie (aka "Rebel Yell") is an Alt-South group. Appropriately, just like the alt-right the "Alt-South" has a glossary of its own.[59]

Alt-tech refers to "free speech" internet websites which are alternatives to mainstream internet outlets.

More often than not, these "alt-tech" websites are littered with typical alt-right content since many of them are "free speech websites", with Rightpedia and GoyFundMe being exceptions. Even though they don't explicitly identify as alt-right, they sure have plenty of users who endorse and/or push alt-right views. Unsurprisingly, so-called "alt-tech" websites are often vastly inferior to their mainstream counterparts.[60]

Some "alt-tech" websites (and their mainstream counterparts):

BitChute (YouTube)

Gab.ai, Parler (Twitter)

WrongThink (Facebook) — closed as of 2018 [61]

Voat (Reddit)

Rightpedia (Wikipedia) — closed as of 2018

Hatreon (Patreon) — suspended by Visa for incitement of violence by its users (as of 2017) [62] [63]

GoyFundMe (GoFundMe) — closed as of 2017 [64] [65]

WASP.Love (Dating website)

Le American Bear [ edit ]

The original Le American Bear

Le American Bear refers to a series of do-it-yourself Paint cartoons and singular panels conceived on Ylilauta in ca. 2012-2013, as well as to the titular character; it was originally not racist. In the alt-right recharacterization, a morbidly obese and dimwitted American caricature consistently falls for tricks and traps set for him by Le Happy Merchant, yet never sees anything wrong with the situation and keeps calling him "my greatest ally".[66][67]

Amerikaner [ edit ]

Amerikaner (portmanteau of 'Afrikaner' and 'American') is a term used in some alt-right circles to refer to all white Americans (no matter their ethnic backgrounds) as having the same ancestry.[68] It also refers to the alleged white genocide of Afrikaners at the hands of black South Africans in post-Apartheid South Africa, which is a major concern of the alt-right. The implication is of course that a similar "fate" is awaiting white Americans if they do not act.

Amish [ edit ]

Amish is used when the perpetrator of a crime is an "expected" suspect, such as a Muslim for an act of terrorism, African American for a murder, etc. The speaker will make a comment like "must be the Amish," with the intent that by pretending to scapegoat an unlikely suspect, they indicate to their audience that the demographic of the suspect is obvious by the nature of the crime.[69]

Ammosexual [ edit ]

See Attack helicopter.

Anti-racist is code word for anti-white [ edit ]

Anti-racist is code word for anti-white is a reference to a "mantra" that alleges that mass immigration is causing white genocide. The mantra begins:

ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!

It's about as stupid as it sounds. Similar phrases include "diversity is anti-white", "multiculturalism is anti-white", etc. The subphrase "anti-white" has become widely-used among the alt-right.

Apu [ edit ]

The original Apu Apustaja

Apu is a Pepe-like frog named Apu Apustaja ("help helper"), originally from the Finnish image site Ylilauta, [70] part of the the Pepe/Groyper amphibian NPC collective repetoire.[71] It's not clear that racial stereotyping in the portrayal of The Simpsons character Apu, as noted in Hari Kondabolu's 2017 film The Problem with Apu, is connected.

Attack helicopter [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Non-binary gender

The phrase "I sexually identify as an attack helicopter" or ammosexual, and other variants of "I sexually identify as [something transparently ridiculous]" are used to mock people who claim non-binary gender or who believe that non-binary genders can exist. The phrase is often accompanied by a long shitpost about the rights the shitposter allegedly demands due to being [something transparently ridiculous]. Since the alt-right is a movement that partly grew out from chan culture, expect allusions to furries or otherkin. "Apache attack helicopter" is perhaps the most common phrase, as it features in the popular 2014 copypasta that coined the joke:[72]

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 [sic] Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

Ammosexual may also be used as an insult directed at gun nuts, implying that they have a literal firearm fetish.[73]

Autistic dark web [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Autistic dark web

The autistic dark web (ADW) is a small radical group comprised of alt-right internet trolls who pretend to have autism and who troll and bully autistic people while promoting far-right ideology. The ADW opposes the Autism rights movement, identity politics, feminism, egalitarianism and social justice. Straw man arguments are common, such as claiming that neurodiversity advocates think autism is "fashionable" or that they think autism isn't a disability (which it obviously is). Autistic people who don't hate themselves, or who dare to appreciate any of the positive aspects of being autistic, are unacceptable to members of the ADW. The ADW often harass people with autism and promotes the Clown World meme, anti-vaccination conspiracy theories and claim that Jews invented autism (even though it was Austrian Nazi Hans Asperger who first studied the disorder).

Autistic screeching [ edit ]

The original autistic screeching meme

The REEEEEEE meme

See the main article on this topic: Ableism

The phrase "autistic screeching" is used to mock people being offended by the alt-right and/or to ridicule autistic people.[74][75][76] It is also associated with the text 'REEEEEEE', indicating a corresponding sound that a particular species of frog makes.[77] Both terms originated from 4chan.[76][77]

Based [ edit ]

Based is an euphemism for someone or something that is considered to be authoritative, "unbiased", and redpilled.[78] The alt-right generally describes anyone who promotes racism as "based".[79][80] The term gained mainstream usage through Gamergate's descriptions of pro-Gamergate YouTubers as "based", although it was originally used by American rapper Lil B the "BasedGod" in a different context; he defined the term that denotes a lifestyle of positivity and tolerance,[81] the complete opposite to the alt-right's appropriation of the phrase. Alt-righters often pair the term with the adjective cucked: something or someone that doesn't accept alt-right views.

Basketball-American is a mocking term for African Americans, based on the association between that community and the sport.[82] It is sometimes seen in other variants like "Watermelon-American", basically any cultural trait stereotypically associated with black people.

Beta [ edit ]

Beta is interchangeable with cuck and is often used along with it.

The term refers to "beta male", which in turn means "not alpha male" — alpha male being a concept from the study of lions and other like animals, meaning the leader of the pack, who tends to enjoy greater sexual success. Like the word "cuck", it's probably intended to have humiliating sexual overtones when used to label men in particular. However, since the most obvious translations of "alpha male" into a human social context would be government leaders and CEOs, calling someone a "beta male" arguably just means "you're a male human being who isn't an extremely high-profile leader… at least not at the present time." Perhaps not quite what they had intended. The terms alpha, beta and cuck were adopted from the men's rights movement.

Black don't crack [ edit ]

The phrase black don't crack originates as a statement related to melanin, Sun exposure and the aging process.[83] the alt-right prefers to use it as a reference to the black brute stereotype, using "crack" as in "give up".

Bix nood [ edit ]

Bix nood is a nonsensical phrase used in mockery of African-American Vernacular English;[84] likely popularized by a Nick Bougas cartoon showing a black person babbling nonsensically into their phone.[85]

Blood and soil [ edit ]

Blut und Boden" in the Reichsnährstand logo " in thelogo

Blood and soil is one of the rallying cries of the alt-right. It is a translation from the German Blut und Boden, a phrase which originated in German 19th-century agrarian nationalist-romanticism, and which was adopted by the Nazi Ministry of Food and Agriculture (Reichsnährstand). Under the original Nazis, it indicated then that the original descendants (Blut) belonged to the land (Boden), and was used as an ideology to support the Nazi eugenics program and the Lebensraum ideology. Vanguard America, a white supremacist group, also uses the motto, "blood and soil". As a symbol, they use either an eagle with a Roman fasces (modern symbol of fascism), or a crossed pair of fasces.[86]

Needless to say, the application of this concept by neo-Nazis to the US is absurd.[87] White people are not indigenous to the US. Moreover, white people do not share a unified "blood" as Hitler envisioned it; given that they don't share a "natural" language or "natural" culture — Italians and Swedes do not speak Italian or Swedish in the US, and only "pure" Anglo-Saxons can claim English language and culture.[note 2]

Blue and bluish/blueish [ edit ]

Blue and bluish/blueish are synonyms/dogwhistles for Jew and Jewish. A picture is shown of people who are Jewish or of Jewish descent and the uploader will color them blue.[90][91] The intent is to show an array of powerful people, and by indicating the Jewish ones in blue, to show how overrepresented Jewish people are in positions of power.

Boogaloo, boogalo, big igloo, big luau, and the Hawaiian shirt [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Boogaloo Boys

[92] Boogaloo Boys patch worn at a rally, featuring Pepe

Boogaloo, boogalo, boog, and big igloo are code words for race war[93][94][95] and the second American Civil War.[96] The term boogaloo is derived from the 1984 movie Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo [note 3] which is a commonly used phrase online to indicate any sort of sequel, particularly a poor quality one.[98][99] Big igloo is a derivative synonym that refers to boogaloo[100] and probably to the "big tent" idea of inclusiveness (but for white people since igloos are white). In search of further homophone-ish phrases for their shitposting, this term further morphed into the phrase big luau online.[101] This led to a bizarre situation during lockdown protests regarding the 2019-20 COVID-19 outbreak, where many of the far-right extremists that attended showed their devotion to white supremacy by (in reference to the luau ) dressing in Hawaiian shirts .[102][103][101]

It's been claimed that the boogaloo movement is not "not monolithically racist/neo-Nazi," but its origins are from within 4chan's /k/ — Weapons board and the alt-right, dating back to at least 2012 on Reddit.[101] Boogaloo groups began invading Facebook around 2018, and there were reportedly 125 such groups there as of April 2020.[101][104] The boogaloo movement has been involved in armed anti-quarantine protests during the COVID-19 pandemic.[101] Unsurprisingly, the boogaloo movement is either an outgrowth of or allied with the militia movement.[101]

Bop [ edit ]

Bop was popularized as a cutesy term on the Fren World subreddit, meaning to hit, but quickly became used in the barely-covert alt-right Fren memes as a euphemism for 'attack' or 'kill', particularly in the phrase bop the non-frens.[105] When Fren subs began to be banned by Reddit, "bopped" also became a common term to describe a post, user, or subreddit being banned.

Brownshirt [ edit ]

The term brownshirt is sometimes used to refer to white members of the left, with the implication being that they, like Hitler's paramilitary Brownshirts (Sturmabteilung ), will be disposed of by the rest of the left when they are no longer "useful".

Bugman [ edit ]

The term bugman is used to refer to left-wingers who are seen as being hollow, technology- and trend-obsessed consumerists whose opinions and tastes are completely determined by the mainstream consensus of other bugmen. It is similar in meaning to the incelese term bluepill. They have no individuality, are sometimes said to be "soulless" and have a thousand-yard "insectoid" stare that gives away that they are "dead inside". Their lives are empty and without meaning or purpose except to be consumers and serve corporations. It is a clear attempt at dehumanization and is similar to the NPC meme.

Burning coal / Coal burner [ edit ]

Burning coal and coal burner are derisive terms for a white woman having sex with a black man. Largely used as a reference to the full phrase "burn the coal, pay the toll", implying that a white woman who has sex with a black man will meet with violence, end up pregnant and abandoned, or otherwise have some terrible comeuppance for her crimes against the white race.[106] It also applies to white men who have sex with black women, where the white man will pay for his alleged crimes against the white race. Coal digger and mud shark are similarly-employed pejoratives. Contrast with bed wench, used in some black supremacist circles to describe black women having sex with white men.

Cattle [ edit ]

See Goy.

Civic nationalism [ edit ]

Civic nationalism or civnat is a philosophy that defines nationhood in terms of civic institutions and creeds rather than race or ethnicity. It is condemned in alt-right circles as the province of cucks and consequently flung as a pejorative.[107] Andrew Anglin, owner of The Daily Stormer, was accused within alt-right circles of engaging in this when he put an image of George Washington on The Daily Stormer's banner.[107]

Clown World [ edit ]

Clown Pepe/Honk Honk/Honkler

Clown World (a.k.a., Clown Pepe, Honk Honk or Honkler) is a meme created by 4chan trolls to claim that clowns are racist.[108] Clown World is a xenophobic and neo-Nazi dog whistle based on the idea that it's nihilistically humorous that the supposed destruction of Western civilization (through the normalization of autistic people, LGBTQ+ people, immigration, interracial sex and anything else that the alt-right hates) is allowed without consequence. The emoji for Clown World is 🤡🌎.

Coat [ edit ]

Taking their coat means defeating someone in debate or banning them from an Internet forum. Putting on a coat is synonymous with taking the red pill. The terminology began when Trump suggested that a protester be thrown from his rally, without their coat into the cold.[109]

Conservatism, Inc. is a derogatory term for conservatism as practiced by those deemed insufficiently pro-white, also known as cuckservatives.

Coomer [ edit ]

The prototypical coomer meme

A subtype of Wojak who has "severe masturbation addiction" or who has violated the "No Nut November" pledge.[110][111] It originated on 4chan, and is derived from the words "cum" + "boomer" (Baby Boomer) or "cum" + "zoomer" (Generation Z).[110]

Countersemite [ edit ]

A supposedly clever but completely transparent term used to deny that one is an antisemite, while simultaneously asserting it.[112]

Cuck [ edit ]

A cuck is someone who doesn't hold alt-right views. It is used as a pejorative with absurd frequency. The term "cuck" originates from "cuckold", which describes a man married to an adulterous woman, in this context in the fetish sense: the implication is seemingly supposed to be that the recipient holds views they know are wrong but is too pathetic to do anything about it. The term was taken from the men's rights movement (see Manosphere glossary#Cuckold). Someone who is not cucked is instead based or red-pilled. There are also racist ideas attached to the term, in that allowing a non-white man to have sex with one's white wife is viewed as an unforgivable offense. So the term is applied to targets deemed to be race-traitors in any way.

Cuckservative [ edit ]

A cuckservative is a conservative who doesn't hold alt-right views on race and immigration, and therefore is cucked instead of based.[113]

Cultural enrichment [ edit ]

Cultural enrichment is a sarcastic term used by the alt-right to mock those who think immigration from countries that aren't majority white or East Asian is not an inherently bad thing. The term is used as a mocking euphemism for terrorist attacks, street crimes, or other problems the alt-right believes to stem from large minority or immigrant populations.[114] For example, after the June 2017 London Bridge attack, a likely alt-right account tweeted:

Another day of cultural enrichment in Londonistan. Weaponised vehicles, a few dead people. Sadiq Khan’s Londonistan #londonattack.[115][116]

The term is also switched around with a similar term, culturally enriched, with the same predictable results and statements from alt-righters.

Cultural Marxism [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Cultural Marxism

Cultural Marxism (also Cultural Bolshevism or Kulturbolschewismus, in the original German and frequently what the alt-right is talking about when they say "The System") is a conspiracy theory in which the Frankfurt School (a body of Marxist writings) and critical theory (critiques of society, with some origins in Marx's work) are the products of leftists' concerted efforts to (successfully) sneak communism into academia and culture at large. In turn, the conspiracy goes, modern gender/race/sexuality/etc. movements are ultimately grounded in these communist writings – and so they are communist themselves. The theory is absurd. The Frankfurt School was obscure and had a negligible impact on broader society. The methods used by social justice advocates – analyzing society through lenses of class/gender/race/etc. – long precede the Frankfurt school.

Most often the examples of "Cultural Marxism" will be from the so-called "Science Wars", a period when a bunch of postmodernist critics who really should have known better tried using critical theory on demonstrably accurate scientific principles as if they were social constructs, leading to some truly bizarre claims such as Sandra Harding describing Newton's Principia Mathematica as a "rape manual"[117] or Luce Irigaray's claim that E=mc2 is a "sexed equation" that "privileges the speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us."[118] While this is a thing that definitely existed and still does to an extent, it is not and never was the all-encompassing conspiracy it is painted as, and many of those involved in producing the examples cited have stated they regret their prior work and acknowledge all they did was gave ammunition to reactionaries.

In short: social liberalism is actually communism in disguise, and the leftists know it. (Nothing new here!) Calling something Cultural Marxism is an easy way to dismiss it without actually engaging with its arguments.

People who whine about Cultural Marxism often attribute it to a supposed International Jewish Conspiracy.

Day of the Rope [ edit ]

The Day of the Rope is an alt-right fantasy taking place in the future, when "justice" will be served to those who took part in the attempted genocide of the white race. Typically, the fantasy involves a public hanging of everyone the alt-right perceives as enemies. The term was taken from the book The Turner Diaries.[119] A vicious Twitter hate campaign called "Day of the Brick" targeted Huffington Post reporter Luke O'Brien after he reported in 2018 about one particularly active Nazi on Twitter.[120][121]

Deep state [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Deep state

The deep state is a conspiracy theory that there is a body of people who are secretly manipulating or controlling US government policy, and the President must serve their interests or else risk assassination.[122] It serves as a convenient excuse for the alt-right as to why Trump can't get anything done (e.g. It doesn't matter, the deep state are stopping him at all costs and he needs to make sure they don't take him out!).[123] Like many alt-right expressions, the term can be used as covert anti-Semitism.[124]

Degenerate [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Degenerate

Degenerate, or degeneracy, is a common descriptive term used by the alt-right for anything they consider unacceptable in their ideal society.[125] The use of the word "degenerate" is an explicit reference to terms used in Nazi Germany such as degenerate art and degenerate music.

Deus vult [ edit ]

Deus vult is Latin for "God wills it". Deus Vult was the battle cry of the Crusaders. Use of the term implies that another crusade is necessary. Saracen is an associated term and was used by medieval Europeans to refer to Muslims, particularly Muslims in former Roman provinces. It's a pretty good sign you've stumbled upon an internet tough guy[126] or an alt-liter attempting to use it in a memetic fashion to hide its racist intentions. This term may be a bit less trustworthy than others, and it may just be that you've met with an internet historian making a joke. Or both.

Graffiti on a mosque. [127]

Crusader cross, as used by the alt-right

DezNat [ edit ]

Contraction of "Deseret Nationalist": a Mormon alt-righter.[128][129]

Dindu [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Black brute

Dindu is a contraction of "didn't do"; dindu nuffin is a contraction of "didn't do nothing". Both may be accompanied with he wuz a good boy[130][131] or notes of requesting gibs ("gives," as in handouts or compensation). The terms are used as a noun to refer to black people and imply that they are inherently violent and stupid.[132][133][134][135][136] The terms imply that black people often use these phrases to escape punishment.

Discussion club [ edit ]

A "discussion club" is a codeword for an alt-right meeting. The term abuses the alt-right's use of "free speech" as an all-purpose defense of their activities.[137]

Dissident right [ edit ]

Another synonym for the alt-right.

Diversity [ edit ]

Diversity (often mangled to dieversity) is a hated word in the alt-right (unless it's being used sarcastically, a la cultural enrichment).

Diversity stands as a synonym for multiculturalism , also hated.

, also hated. Diversity is often claimed to be anti-white .

. Diversity is often contrasted with real diversity.

Dysgenics [ edit ]

Dysgenics is the study of factors producing the perpetuation of disadvantageous genes and traits in a population's offspring. It is the antonym of eugenics. In alt-right-speak, dysgenics means "too few pure white babies."[138][139]

Early life [ edit ]

The "Early life" section of a standard Wikipedia biography tends to detail the parents and early experiences of the subject, often including what religion they were raised in. If, for example, a journalist named John Rosenbaum writes an article criticizing racism, the alt-righter will comment online "Google 'John Rosenbaum early life'" as a way of indicating to readers that they should note he is Jewish. The implication being that Jewish people are active in promoting equality, racial integration, LGBT acceptance, and other such values hated by the alt-right.[140]

Edgy [ edit ]

Synonym for alt-right. Often used to imply they're not actually white supremacists and are just doing all that stuff to shock the normies.[137] The tendency for this claim to be true is inversely proportional to the mental age of the speaker.[citation NOT needed] This word is also used in the wider Internet culture as an insult to someone who attempts to be overly shocking or dark in an attempt to seem cool. These people may also be referred to as "Edgelords," so as with Deus Vult, pay attention to context.

Electric Jew [ edit ]

The electric Jew is a reference to Jew media, specifically television, the idea the Jews control the media. The meme was popularized amount the alt-right by A. Wyatt Mann.[141][142][143]

Every single time [ edit ]

While 'every single time' is often used innocuously by non-racists, among the alt-right it is a code word for the International Jewish conspiracy, that Jews are behind everything that the alt-right hates. The use of this phrase or its abbreviation (E.S.T[144]) can be discerned as racist when it is used in isolation with mention of antisemitism, mention of particular Jews acting badly,[145] or racist memes.[144]

Fashtag [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Fashtag

Similar to the OK sign (👌🏻), the fashtag (#) was an attempted trolling attempt by the alt-right originating in 4chan. This hoax attempt failed miserably.

Fashwave [ edit ]

Fashwave is a fascist variant of the non-racist genre of electronic music called Vaporwave. While its songs don't necessarily have lyrics they make up for it with stock footage, catchy tunes, and cover art demonstrating Nazism. It's frequently used by alt-right outlets such as The Daily Stormer under their "Fashwave Fridays" block.

Fashy haircut [ edit ]

Hitler Jugend boy band member Richard Spencer discusses his hair care products

A fashy haircut (short for fascist haircut[146]), known in polite company as an undercut, has short hair on the sides/back and long on top. It has been used by various people for various reasons (too poor to afford a haircut, gang identification, fashion statement). In the case of the alt-right, however, it has a direct link to the Nazi German armed forces (Wehrmacht) and Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend), where it was common. In such cases it is sometimes referred to as a jugend or a Hitler Youth haircut.[147][148] One white nationalist, Nathan Benjamin Damigo, both sported the haircut and tweeted under that name before he was banned on Twitter in 2017.[146][149]

Fellow white people [ edit ]

"Fellow white people" is a phrase that is used against Jewish people to imply that Jews are white when it suits them but not when they wish to be seen as a persecuted minority, or to tear down America from the inside, or to promote multiculturalism, immigration, etc.[150] Also seen in variants such as "As a white person…"

Forced diversity [ edit ]

Forced diversity is a dog whistle used by the alt-right, which claims that the social justice warriors are ruining mainstream media with identity politics and with fewer neurotypical, white, heterosexual men in films, video games, TV shows and comic books.

Free helicopter rides [ edit ]

A meme where members of the alt-right "joke"[151][152] about giving leftists "free helicopter rides" (read: executing their political opponents).[153] This is in reference to the extrajudicial executions (death flights ) during the Dirty War in Argentina and following the 1973 Chilean coup. Political opponents of Argentina's Admiral Luis María Mendía and Chile's Augusto Pinochet were flown over the ocean in an airplane or helicopter and pushed to their death.[154][155] This meme seemed to gain popularity early in Donald Trump's campaign, when he gave helicopter rides to children at the Iowa State Fair.[156] To Trump's credit, he did not murder them.

Free speech rally [ edit ]

A free speech rally is a neo-Nazi rally disguised with the thinnest of rhetorical veneers.

Fren [ edit ]

Fren is a backronym that stands for "Far Right Ethno-Nationalist",[157] it is defined as a person, especially a member of the alt-right. It is a dog whistle used by a subsection of the alt-right, commonly found on the r/FrenWorld subreddit on Reddit. The idea is to talk like a small child or a mentally challenged person, the pattern having emerged with the aforementioned Apu Apustaja meme.

Closely connected to the honkler/Clown World memes; the Honkler and other Pepes can be seen in many of their memes. After the CringeAnarchy subreddit was shut down when the moderators refused to delete posts calling for genocide, many users migrated to the r/FrenWorld,[158] which was itself shut down in June 2019.

Gender studies [ edit ]

"Gender studies" is used as a shorthand for any and all fields of academic study that the alt-right finds useless (read as: everything except racist pseudoscience). "Getting their gender studies degree" is spoken of as if it is some kind of rite of passage for the left. It is also a not-so-subtle dis of feminism.

Get them out! [ edit ]

Get them out! was a phrase used by Donald Trump at some of his campaign rallies in 2016 to urge his supporters to evict protesters from the rallies. Trump was sued in 2017 for allegedly having incited violence at the rallies.[159] The phrase was also echoed by Trump in reference to undocumented immigrants, "We are going to get them out and get them out fast."[160]

Get woke, go broke [ edit ]

The phrase Get woke, go broke is a right-wing form of schadenfreude, specifically directed at media or cultural ventures that lose money and/or popularity when they become (if they weren't already) woke. This phrase is repeated in a mocking sense ad nauseam in online forums and social media circles frequented by the alt-right and neoreactionaries whenever a "woke" venture goes "broke". Interestingly, users of this phrase seem to stay quiet when woke ventures succeed.

This phrase can also mean that things that are "woke" have become morally and intellectually bankrupt, but the former usage is far more common.

Gibsmedat [ edit ]

Gibsmedat is a mocking term for African Americans, as an attempted imitation of someone with an archaic form of African American Vernacular English that was used in Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), saying, "Give me that."[161] Used to imply that black people are dependent on government largesse and have a strong sense of entitlement. Sometimes government benefits are derivatively refered to as gibs.

Globalism [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Globalization

Globalism is sometimes used as a synonym for globalization, but usually with overtones of xenophobia, anti-immigration, anti-Semitism (i.e., International Jewish conspiracy)[162] and general conspiracy theories.

Globohomo [ edit ]

Globohomo is a portmanteau of globalism and homogenization that insinuates that there is a global conspiracy to homogenize cultures around the world.[163][164] It also insinuates that Jews (globalism)[165] and homosexuals (the homosexual agenda)[166] are behind the conspiracy.[163] Sometimes "globohomo gayplex" is used to make it sound extra gay.[163][167]

Terry A. Davis during his declining years

Referring to the nonsensical phrase "CIA niggers glow in the dark" that Terry A. Davis famously used, "glowies" or "glowniggers" are nicknames for posters of the alt-right online community who might be working for law enforcement agencies and might be agents provocateur.[168][169] Ridiculous claims are abound about how to unmask one, e.g. by bringing up Israeli WMDs, as they allegedly are a topic that employees of the U.S. intelligence community are not allowed to discuss.[170]

Go Bald for BLM [ edit ]

Another failed 4chan prank, #GoBaldForBLM was a campaign in 2020 to try to create unwilling skinheads out of Black Lives Matter supporters.[171]

Gorillion [ edit ]

Goy [ edit ]

"The Goyim Know" t-shirt

See the main article on this topic: Goy

Goy (Hebrew: גוי; plural: goyim) is the standard Hebrew biblical term for a "nation", but has also acquired the meaning of "someone who is not Jewish" (synonymous with gentile). It is not an inherently pejorative term, although it may sometimes be used that way by Jews.

In the context of its alt-right usage, the term is used in order to reinforce the idea of an International Jewish Conspiracy.[172] A common alt-right "joke" is to reply to assertions of shadowy Jewish puppet-masters by saying, Oy vey, the goyim know, shut it down![173] Those in the alt-right will sneeringly refer to a non-Jewish person who opposes anti-Semitism as a "good goy", the implication being that they are a cuck who is unknowingly serving the eeeeevil Jewish conspiracy.

Neo-Nazis sometimes try to claim that 'goy' means cattle.[174][175] The origin, or at least popularization of this claim is likely William Cooper's book Behold a Pale Horse.[176] :267

Groyper [ edit ]

Groyper is an obese toad (similar to Pepe) who likely originated on a 4chan board, although his origins are disputed.[178] Groyper would later gain popularity on July 28, 2017, when a YouTuber named Savickas uploaded a video titled "Groyper Mesmerizes you to sleep".[178] The original image of Groyper is a fat frog who crosses his hands together. Since then the character has served as an alternative to the popular Pepe the Frog. Unlike Pepe, Groyper is not the intellectual property of someone opposed to the alt-right. Users add Groyper hands to their avatars on Twitter to honor Groyper. The top terms associated with Groyper are "Bazooo", "Henlo", and references to being cozy. He is notable enough to have received media attention.[178]

Since 2018, a gaggle of groypers have formed in support of Nick Fuentes, calling themselves the Groyper Army.[179]

Le Happy Merchant [ edit ]

Where have we seen this before?

See the main article on this topic: Le Happy Merchant

Le Happy Merchant is an anti-Jew meme used widely among anti-Semites and the alt-right. It depicts a stereotypical Jew with yarmulke, oversized nose, greedy grin, and "conspiring" hands. It is common to see the image edited onto left-wing political posters or to see liberal candidates depicted as Happy Merchants. In short: it's a meme-friendly way to Jew-bait.

The image itself comes from a cartoon by the pseudonymous "A. Wyatt Mann" (say it out loud), a pseudonym for ultra-low budget director Nick Bougas, who was also known for illustrating the "anti-political-correctness" zine Answer Me. The illustration was one of a great many cartoons produced during the 1980s and 1990s by the same artist; many were published by white supremacist Tom Metzger (founder and leader of White Aryan Resistance).[180]

Hatefact [ edit ]

According to the alt-right, "hatefacts" are "politically incorrect but true statements."[181] In essence, the term is used so that the alt-right can claim that those who deny their hateful claims are denying facts.[182] Such "facts" are supportive of any of racialism, anti-Semitism, Holocaust denial, ethno-nationalism, anti-diversity/multiculturalism/immigration, homophobia, transphobia, or Islamophobia views.[181] The alt-right use "hatefacts" to present a narrative about the white world being "under attack".[183]

Hey rabbi, whatcha doin'? [ edit ]

The original "Hey rabbi, whatcha doin'?" meme

A rhetorical question, inspired by a memetic "A. Wyatt Mann" cartoon of a stereotypical hook-nosed Jew caught spray-painting a swastika on the wall of a synagogue, promoting the idea that most reported hate crimes are actually false flag hoaxes committed by the supposed targets themselves.[184][185]

HH [ edit ]

See 1488.

Holocauster [ edit ]

Holocauster is another term for Jews, used to try to evade keyword filters while simultaneously trivializing the Holocaust.[186][187] The term is frequently posted as a fake malapropism, conflating 'Hollister' (a city in California and a clothing brand name) with the word 'Holocaust',[188] or 'roller coaster' with 'Holocaust'.[189]

Holohoax [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Holocaust denial

Holohoax is a portmanteau of "Holocaust" and "hoax". The term is used by holocaust denialists, and is often used a Twitter hashtag.[190] The term frequently is a cause for confusion by grammatically-impaired holocaust denialists because the term 'hoax' grammatically negates the term 'holocaust', such people do not understand the ambiguity problem of the double negative in the English language. For example:

"The holohoax is a lie": [191] What did this grammatically-impaired neo-Nazi actually intend mean, that the Holocaust is a lie, or that the 'Holocaust hoax' is a lie? Clearly based on the neo-Nazi's other posts about Jews, it is the former, ungrammatical meaning. [192]

What did this grammatically-impaired neo-Nazi actually intend mean, that the Holocaust is a lie, or that the 'Holocaust hoax' is a lie? Clearly based on the neo-Nazi's other posts about Jews, it is the former, ungrammatical meaning. "holohoax and 911 are bigger frauds": [193] The grammatically-impaired neo-Nazi intends to mean that the Holocaust and 9/11 are bigger frauds, but grammatically could just as easily mean that the Holocaust hoax and 9/11 are bigger frauds.

The grammatically-impaired neo-Nazi intends to mean that the and 9/11 are bigger frauds, but grammatically could just as easily mean that the Holocaust hoax and 9/11 are bigger frauds. "Holohoax didnt' happen." was intended to state that the Holocaust did not happen.[194]

Honkler [ edit ]

See Clown World.

Identitarianism [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Identitarianism

Identitarianism is a synonym for Nazism that sounds less Nazi-like.

Islam is right about women [ edit ]

"Islam is right about women" is a term that emerged around late 2019. Alt-righters posted signs about how "Islam is right about women" appeared in Winchester, Massachusetts in November 2019.[195] The intent is to put "liberals" in a quandary, in actuality a false dilemma, where they are torn between supporting Muslims, and criticizing Muslim attitudes towards women.

"It's 2020" originated on /pol/ as a mockery of comedian and Last Week Tonight host John Oliver's supposed tendency to respond to regressive attitudes with "Come on, it's [current year]!" It was possibly stolen from an article in The Onion titled, "Report: Stating Current Year Still Leading Argument For Social Reform".[196] It is used to characterize left-wing arguments as specious and only based on saying, "We should be past this by now." without saying why, with the usual form being "After all, it's [current year]!"

It's Okay to Be White [ edit ]

A term invented by the equally alt-right/racist /pol/ of 4chan, It's Okay to Be White is a propaganda campaign posted on various college and university campuses to get support from potential alt-right students. The purpose of this slogan is to provoke outrage in the hopes of proving society's supposed anti-white agenda.

Jew [ edit ]

The alt-right really doesn't like Jews. They literally cannot get Jews off their minds, especially if they have never actually met one. We cannot imagine why.

For some in the alt-right, 'Jew' is like cooties, a form of othering that is actually contagious in their view, such that non-Jews — and even raging antisemites — have become Jews simply upon contact, e.g.:

Note that when the word 'Jew' is used as an adjective (for example, in the phrase "Jew banker"), it is pretty much always antisemitic. ("Jewish banker", on the other hand, is grammatically neutral, though it could still be used antisemitically depending on context.) When 'Jew' is used as a verb, it is always antisemitic because it implies that Jews are innately scheming or exploitative with money or negotiations (e.g., "He Jewed me down.").[200]

Many alt-righters subscribe to the International Jewish Conspiracy conspiracy theory. In particular, the following terms are frequently used in alt-right groups, some of which are used by Jewish people and appropriated by the alt-right:

'Jew' and related terms will also be shoehorned in wherever possible, particularly if there is some negative association (e.g. "I just got demonetized by Jewtube!" or "What do you expect from a magazine based in Jew York?"). Terms for Jews that are used by the alt-right to try to bypass keyword filters include: "J", "Joos" and "Juice".

Jews are not white [ edit ]

"Jews are not white" is an alt-right trope takes on two forms:

The trope that Jews switch their identity between Jewish and whiteness at their own convenience, that they can be the minority/victim when it suits them or they can assert white privilege when it suits them. In reality people, Jews included, do not have a choice about being the object of victimization. Although most Ashkenazi Jews do look subjectively white, many also have given names or surnames that are associated with Jewish identity, making it difficult to hide their Jewish identity.[201] The Khazar myth, that Ashkenazi Jews descended from Eastern Europeans in the Turkic Khazar Empire who converted to Judaism, and are hence neither "true" Jews, nor truly "white".[202][203]

The Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you [ edit ]

"The Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you"[204] (and variants)[205] is an alt-right phrase that implies that all Jews will 'play the victim' in any circumstance. It is essentially a form of blaming the victim by antisemites because the statement stereotypes the behavior of Jews. It is sometimes alleged — without substantiation — to have Polish origins.[206]

Jew media [ edit ]

"Jew media" is "new media" that doesn't agree with the alt-right. See also legacy media and liberal media.[207]

Jewish question [ edit ]

The Jewish question (abbreviated JQ) was part of a long-running debate in Europe about the civil, legal, national and political status of Jews within Europe from the 18th through 20th centuries. It culminated in Nazi Germany with The Final Solution (German: Endlösung), resulting in the Holocaust. The alt-right has revived the term even though there are some Jews who consider themselves among the alt-right.[208]

Der Stürmer from December 1938 with the headline, "Ist die Judenfrage gelöst?" (Is the Jewish Question Solved?). This is the tabloid that inspired the name of The Daily Stormer. Front cover of the Nazi tabloidfrom December 1938 with the headline, "" (Is the Jewish Question Solved?). This is the tabloid that inspired the name of

Jews will not replace us [ edit ]

"Jews will not replace us" (often rephrased to the less-Nazi-esque You will not replace us) is an alt-right slogan based on the white genocide canard,[209] based on "The Great Replacement" philosophy of Renaud Camus (who has distanced himself from its use by white nationalists).[210]

You can hear the phrase in this deleted Baked Alaska video, starting at about 0:20:

Jogger [ edit ]

Jogger started being used as a synonym for 'nigger' following the shooting of an unarmed African American jogger, Ahmaud Arbury, on February 23, 2020, allegedly by two white men, Travis McMichael and his father Gregory McMichael.[211] 4chan attempted to appropriate the term and the action itself as a racist slur in May 2020 by referring to black people as "joggers" in an offensive manner.[212]

Jwoke [ edit ]

Jwoke refers to a person who is antisemitic, who is woke to various conspiracy theories about Jews and/or to the Jewish question.[213][214][215] JQ Aware, derived from Jewish Question, is sometimes used as a synonym.[216]

Kalergi Plan [ edit ]

The Kalergi Plan is an antisemitic conspiracy theory that was invented by neo-Nazi Austrian Gerd Honsik (1941–2018), and propagated in his 2005 book, Rassismus Legal?.[218] The plan alleges a conspiracy that centers around Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi (1899–1972), the founder of the Paneuropean Union. Coudenhove-Kalergi was an Austrian politician whose father was Austro-Hungarian diplomat and whose mother was Japanese. Coudenhove-Kalergi was initially antisemitic, like his father. After he began researching his book, Das Wesen des Antisemitismus,[219] however he concluded that antisemitism was primarily based on religious bigotry, and subsequently ceased to be an antisemite.[220]:22-24[221]:320-321 In his 1925 book, Praktischer Idealismus, Coudenhove-Kalergi wrote, "Der Mensch der fernen Zukunft wird Mischling sein. Die heutigen Rassen unt Kasten werden der zunehmenden Überwindung von Raum, Zeit und Vorurteil zum Opfer fallen."[222]:22-23 which has been translated into English as: "The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice."[223] Coudenhove-Kalergi's forecast was an optimistic view of racial-mixing that contrasted with Madison Grant's similar but pessimistic and racist view.[224]

The conspiracy theory itself alleges that Coudenhove-Kalergi wanted the envisioned mixed-race world to be ruled by Jewish elites, and that one of Coudenhove-Kalergi's goals was the destruction of Europe.[223] This conspiracy theory overlaps with the white genocide and Great Replacement conspiracy theories among neo-Nazis.[223]

Kek [ edit ]

The term "Kek" originates from World of Warcraft, where if someone from the Horde side typed "lol" in /say, Alliance players would instead see "kek". This is a further reference by Blizzard to the Korean language word for 'laugh' (literally, 'ha ha ha'), kekeke (ㅋㅋㅋ), commonly seen in Starcraft. Used the same way by 4chan, later leading to the discovery of an Egyptian deity by the same name who happened to be a frog, thus linking this to the Pepe meme. The superlative is "topkek" or "top kek," which is also reference to a Turkish snack food.[225]

Kekistan [ edit ]

Kekistan is a fictional ethnicity that lets alt-righters use a Nazi flag as a "meme". Kekistan was popularized in part by Sargon of Akkad.

Top: Kekistan flag.

Bottom: Nazi war ensign.

Expect to hear the Kekistani National Anthem in the background of some high-quality totally-not-racist videos:

Khazar [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Khazar myth

The Khazars were a Turkic tribe, who, per some legends, adopted Judaism. There is an expansive conspiracy theory that most/all modern Jewish people are descended from the Khazar Turks, not the ancient Israelites, and thus are not truly "God's chosen people." This theory is particularly popular among groups who themselves claim to be the true descendants of the Israelites, such as the Christian Identity movement for white people, British Israelism for the British, or some (not all) Black Israelite (African American) groups.[226] The degree to which the speaker genuinely cares about the genetic origins of modern Jewish people varies by religiosity, but even non-religious alt-righters will use it simply because they like belittling people. Oddly enough, the term is occasionally used in a semi-positive (but objectifying) sense to refer to attractive and buxom Jewish women with the term "Khazar milkers," where alt-righters ruefully admit being drawn to the curves of someone like Sarah Silverman or Abbie Shapiro.[227][228]

Kosherist [ edit ]

Kosherist is another term for Jews. It is used to try to evade keyword triggers. It is not strictly an evasion, as it has been used in ads for Kosher products.[229]

The Last Stand [ edit ]

"The Last Stand" is a song by the Swedish metal band Sabaton, the titular last stand being of 189 Swiss Guardsmen during the Sack of Rome in 1527 by unpaid landsknecht (mercenaries) in the service of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. This last stand delayed the mutineers long enough for the Pope to escape to Castel Sant'Angelo.

What does the last stand have to do with the alt-right? Not a damn thing, really. However, Sabaton is notoriously difficult to understand without displayed lyrics due to the heavy guitar and drums, and "The Last Stand" is no exception. As such, the song is often interpreted as a song about the Crusades (due to audible references to the Holy See, and the first line of the chorus, "For the Grace and the Might of our Lord!"), not a song about disgruntled German mercenaries plundering one of Christianity's holiest cities because they weren't being paid (also, the last Crusades were in the 1400s). Entire videos are posted playing the song over footage from documentaries about the Crusades, and comments for every video of it on YouTube seem to consist of either people saying "Deus Vult!" (allcaps optional) or the (more likely ignored) people trying to point out what the song is actually about. It also seems to have become one of many theme songs for the alt-right movement.

If you're into metal, it's a damn good song. Just don't scroll down if you value your faith in humanity.[note 4]

Legacy media [ edit ]

Any conventional publication, such as newspapers and TV News, contrasted with "new media" or "alternative news" such as YouTube videos and Breitbart. Expect flimsy justifications for the latter being better, such as vague claims about "big money," "narratives" or "agendas", and probably sidelong references to Jews owning it.

Listen and believe [ edit ]

1984 newspeak. Typical alt-right hyperbole, showing the phrase "Listen and Believe" as some form of pseudo-

Listen and believe is the idea that left-wingers lower on the "progressive stack" will always accept worldviews from their superiors unquestioningly and without any evidence but the speaker's word. While some cases can be trawled up of people actually trying this tactic, the alt-right acts as though this the sole basis of everything the left thinks. Ironically enough, the alt-right itself — which seeks to encourage strict societal roles and often opposes democracy itself — comes closer to enforcing this idea than the often-horizontally-organized left. The precise phrase is based on an Anita Sarkeesian quote taken out of context, and thus a reminder of the overlap between the alt-right and Gamergate.[230][231]

Loxism [ edit ]

Loxism is the portmaneau of lox (an English loan word from the Hebrew לקס‎ for brined salmon) + racism, that for white supremacists describes the alleged hatred of non-Jewish whites by Jews.[232][233] See also Jews are not white.

Lügenpresse [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Media was wrong before

Lügenpresse is a German word meaning "lying press," effectively a synonym of "fake news". Lügenpresse is used by PEGIDA, Richard Spencer,[137] and the like to mean "media that isn't white supremacist". The term was originally popularized by the original minister of Nazi propaganda, Josef Goebbels,[234] but the term preceded the rise of Nazism in Germany and was used in World War I to refer to enemy propaganda.[234][235]

Since the mainstream media (also abbreviated to MSM) isn't filled with fellow neo-Nazis spouting the alt-right's conspiracy theories and talking points, they are clearly an enemy of the West and must be brought down! Funnily enough, Fox News isn't typically lumped in with the mainstream media, in spite of them being one of the largest news companies in the world. This shows that it is politics, not actually size, that indicates whether or not you are a part of the mainstream media. The mainstream media is also the subject of conspiracy theories such as being controlled by the Jews.

Make America Great Again [ edit ]

The lesser known slogan.

Abbreviation: MAGA

Make America Great Again was Donald Trump's campaign slogan. Although it's one of the most used terms by the alt-right, the slogan "Let's Make America Great Again" was ironically used by Ronald Reagan as part of a pro-immigrant speech.[236] Reagan, it should also be noted, also signed the law that gave amnesty to over 3 million undocumented immigrants.[237] Notably, the phrase was also used by Bill Clinton during his 1992 presidential campaign,[238] and during Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.[239]

Make Israel Great Again [ edit ]

Make Israel Great Again (or MIGA) is an antisemitic phrase based on Trump's MAGA campaign slogan but implying that Trump is a tool of Israel and/or International Jewish Conspiracy.[240][241]

Magapede [ edit ]

Magapede was used primarily on boards like 8chan /pol/. It refers to Trump supporters who do not subscribe to antisemitic or racist views. It is similar to cuckservative.

Marv [ edit ]

Marv is an apparent synonym for NPC. Used by groypers or Apus in the phrase "marvbolgang," similar to Nazbol, i.e., those with Third Position sympathies.[242][243]

Mass immigration [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: mass immigration

"Mass immigration" is a dysphemism for any immigration to "white" countries from "nonwhite" countries (except when they're the honorary Aryans of East Asia). Mass immigration is viewed by the alt-right as a precursor to one world government, white genocide and other nasty things. It is never discussed when it is white people taking over "nonwhite" places in history.

Milk chugging [ edit ]

Watermelon Man, taking a milk bath after having chugged milk Godfrey Cambridge in the, taking a milk bath after having chugged milk

The alt-right has been drawn to milk chugging.[244] Milk chugging is an erstwhile stupid 'sport' that white nationalists appropriated. And why not? After all, the Watermelon Man chugged milk[245] and was drawn to milk baths.[246]

Moon Man [ edit ]

The alt-right version of the Moon Man giving the 👌🏻 sign. Note that his face resembles Pepe's.

The Moon Man is the name given to a parody of McDonald's commercial mascot Mac Tonight, who sings racist parodies of rap songs in a text-to-speech program. Fan art of Moon Man usually features the death of black people.[247][248] Like Pepe, Moon Man was an innocuous internet joke for years before the alt-right existed.[249] Ironically, the original Mac Tonight character sang a jingle based on the English-language version of the song "Mack the Knife" ("Die Moritat von Mackie Messer"), written by Weimar-era German socialists Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht for their explicitly anti-fascist musical The Threepenny Opera.

Muh [ edit ]

The word "muh" has gotten some currency outside the alt-right, so is not necessarily racist, context matters, but it likely originated in Channer culture (4chan/8chan) using the phrase "muh dick" ('my dick') to mock African American Vernacular English and allege an obsession with sex.[82] The alt-right began to use it more and more widely, not solely in relation to black people, such as "muh six million/gorillion" to mock Jewish people and the Holocaust.[250] The term has spread to the non/less-racist right and can be seen as general partisan mocking, such as "muh Russia" to imply that the left is obsessed with "conspiracy theories" about Trump administration ties to Putin.[251] That said, it has achieved sufficient currency that people without racist inclinations might use it for any general mocking, so again context matters.

Multiculturalism [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Multiculturalism

For the alt-right, multiculturalism (often multiCULTi or multi-kulti) is a process aimed at destroying white culture because THE JEWS. Multiculturalism is often asserted to be a "failed experiment" or treated as if it is a religious belief.

Naming the Jew [ edit ]

Naming the Jew (also name the Jew) refers to publicly expressing antisemitic views. For some, this is a key act that separates the alt-right from the alt-lite who either are not antisemitic or carefully hide their antisemitism from the public.[252][253][254]

"Naming the Jew" was key to The Daily Stormer's strategy.[255]:10-11 It was also the name of Patrick Little's antisemitic tour of the US.[256][257]

NazBol [ edit ]

NazBol, short for National Bolshevism, is a Third Positionist ideology that attempts to combine elements from both Nazism and Bolshevism.

Nazism [ edit ]

How could anyone not see the difference?

See the main article on this topic: Neo-Nazism

Nobody in the alt-right is a Nazi and nobody in the alt-right subscribes to Nazism. Not one. They just believe that white ethnostates are essential, that preservation of the white race is the ultimate goal, and think that their enemies are Communist Jews. They also want a new Christian crusade, want to deny the Holocaust, and want to rally under a modified Nazi war ensign.

That the alt-right are indeed actual Nazis is perhaps the only thing that The Daily Stormer and Mike Godwin (of Godwin's Law fame) can agree upon:

“ ” Well, tough luck, fags. The alt-right is just a euphemism for Nazism. —The Daily Stormer, actual Nazi website[258]

“ ” By all means, compare these shitheads to the Nazis. Again and again. I'm with you. —Mike Godwin, referring to the Unite the Right rally[259]

Neoreaction [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Neoreaction

Neoreaction (NRx) is the alt-right's "intellectual" elder brother. NRxionaries cite "science"; alt-righters cite memes. Neoreactionaries generally believe that social order requires strong social hierarchies (so class, race, and gender equality are right out) and strong leaders (which often leads to neoreactionaries supporting monarchies). For a comprehensive rebuttal of (notoriously long-winded) neoreactionary writing, see Scott Alexander's Anti-Reactionary FAQ.[260]

Nibba [ edit ]

Nibba is a euphemism for "nigga", which in turn is a euphemism for "nigger" because even "nigga" will get you in trouble on some social media.[261] Some Nazis will even call each other nibba[262] because they think they're cool or don't know that it's stupid. Sometimes even further obscured with emojis as ni🅱️🅱️a.

Nimble navigator [ edit ]

A nimble navigator (or centipede) is a Trump supporter.[109]

The term originated from the YouTube series "You Can't Stump the Trump"[263] mid 2015, where the track "Centipede" by Knife Party plays as the introduction. The introduction to the track contains audio from a BBC nature documentary in which a centipede is described as a "predator" and "nimble navigator", likening it to Trump himself in the context of the video.

It was quickly picked up as a meme by Trump supporters (especially /r/the_donald) and centipede became synonymous with Trump and his supporters, to the chagrin of entomologists everywhere. We're still waiting for them to realize that when abbreviated to "Pedes" it sounds like they're calling each other paedophiles, it's been over three years…

Normie [ edit ]

Normie is a 4chan term originating on the /r9k/ board as a (usually pejorative) descriptor for people and things that are mainstream. In alt-right usage, it generally refers to anything external to the alt-right universe. For example, in requesting anonymity an alt-right member stated, "I have a 'normie' [conventional] job and I don't want to get punished for this [interview]."[137]

Nose check [ edit ]

The term "Nose check" is a way of indicating the commenter suspects (or knows) that an objectionable figure is Jewish. Based on the stereotype that Jewish people have large noses.[264]

Noticer [ edit ]

A noticer is an antisemite who "notices" supposed "coincidences" of an imagined international Jewish conspiracy. See also triple parentheses.[267] The "noticer" image shows a person with what is supposed to be a laserlike glare, usually blueish-white, or sometimes red. The basic "noticer" image uses the bust of Roman senator Cicero. [268][269]

NPC [ edit ]

Two versions of Wojak from 4chan

A term used in gaming, meaning "non-player character," the alt-right attempted to appropriate it to dehumanize their opponents in October 2018, supposedly as a way to mock the abbreviation "PC" (as in "Person of Color" or "politically correct"). It is used in a similar manner to "SJW", the implication being that like NPCs in role-playing games or video games, left-wingers are scripted and brainwashed, regurgitate the same old talking points on a loop, and lack the ability to think critically.[270] The meme culminated in a flood of spam accounts and bots on Twitter, each one having a username like "NPC93457234" (always 8 digits) and the same grey avatar or the Wojak avatar, posting typical straw men arguments of the left.[271] The Wojak avatar originated in 2018 on 4chan in an attempt to dehumanize SJWs.[272][273] This eventually morphed into said accounts tweeting out a message to go vote in the midterm elections on November 7th 2018 and not the day before, when the election actually was held. Twitter eventually banned approximately 1,500 accounts in response to this disinformation campaign in late October 2018.[274]

The alt-right's use of NPC shows a severe lack of understanding of how AI can work in video games (and overlooking advantages AI can have to the point of being unbeatable in certain games). Really, the function of the NPC depends on the game played, and ironically, how an NPC behaves is incredibly diverse and varied due to the sheer amount of game genres out there with NPCs supplying tasks suited to the genre, with some games (notably level creator or life simulation games) allowing you to control their behavior and their dialogue spoken. As usual, the irony is lost on them.

Open borders for Israel [ edit ]

"Open borders for Israel" is a a seemingly innocuous phrase, like "It's Okay to Be White", but in reality it is based on a conspiracy that Jews are pushing for immigration in western countries but not to Israel.[275][276]

Operation Google [ edit ]

Operation Google is an ongoing attempt by alt-righters to circumvent Google's anti-racial-slur policies. As such, Operation Google is a code-word list of slurs:[277][278]

A Leppo = a libertarian

= a libertarian Bing = an Asian

= an Asian Butterfly = a gay man

= a gay man Car salesman = a liberal

= a liberal Durden = a transgender person

= a transgender person Fishbucket = a lesbian

= a lesbian Google = a black person

= a black person Pepe = someone from the alt-right (not to be confused with Pepe as a meme )

= someone from the alt-right (not to be confused with ) Reagan = a conservative

= a conservative Skittle = a Muslim

= a Muslim Skype = a Jewish person

= a Jewish person Yahoo = a Hispanic person

Yes, they actually use this. Yes, it's incredibly cringey. Yes, it's ridiculously transparent.

Our guy [ edit ]

Our guy, or /our guy/, is someone who represents the core beliefs and values of a community.[279] The term originated on 4chan.[279] On 4chan's /pol/ board, and in alt-right usage, someone is "our guy" if they are thought to hold alt-right or "red-pilled" political beliefs (either openly or in secret).[279][280][281][282][283]

Oy vey [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Oy vey

"Oy vey" is a Yiddish expression of dismay. The alt-right is fond of ironically using "oy vey", because it makes them feel edgy.[citation NOT needed] "Oy vey" is seen in "Oy vey, the goyim know, shut it down."[284] (implying that Jews are part of a worldwide shadowy conspiracy) or "Oy vey, remember the 6 trillion."[285] (implying that the Holocaust was faked to guilt-trip people into supporting some "Jewish agenda").

Pajeet [ edit ]

Pajeet is a slur, often used by the alt-right to mock Indians; it is derived from an Indian given name and usually transliterated as Pajit by non-racists.[286] It is almost always used with "jokes" about how Indians defecate in the open, citing out-of-date UNICEF statistics (from 2011). "Designated shitting streets"[287][288] and "Poo in loo"[289] are variants of this, the former mocking a supposedly Indian user "defending" cases of open defecation, the latter mocking a comically titled UNICEF video[290] intended to raise awareness on the matter.

Ironically, open defecation has been practically eliminated in India,[291] with the nation contributing the most to reducing it prior to that.[292]

Pepe [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Pepe the Frog

Pepe is a frog who likes to get high and who feels bad, man. Everything else is not canon (i.e., corrupted by 4chan and the alt-right from the original Boy's Club comic).

Pilpul [ edit ]

Pilpul (from the Hebrew פלפול‎) is roughly equivalent to the English "debating" or "arguing" in relation to the Talmud and its myriad and often contradictory rules and advice. In alt-right vernacular, it means approximately "anything that is offered as a counterargument to my arguments about Jews being bad" or such.[293][294]

Pol ("politically incorrect"), or /pol/, is the name of two political discussion boards on 4chan (4chan#/pol/) and 8chan (8chan#/pol/), respectively. The boards' stated purpose is "discussion of news, world events, political issues, and other related topics."[295] More accurately, /pol/ would be described as a cesspool of hate.[296][note 5] The alt-right has used the boards since it has been one of the few places where they can hear about world events from the perspective of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, racists and conspiracy theorists.[296][297][298] The board's users have started "red-pilling" pranks and hoaxes such as the #EndFathersDay false flag Twitter campaign[299] and the smear campaign against cartoonist Ben Garrison.[300]

Postcolonialism [ edit ]

See Cultural Marxism.

Postmodernism [ edit ]

See Cultural Marxism.

Power level [ edit ]

A person's "power level" indicates how deeply someone has fallen into fascist ideology. Internet Nazis often advise each other to "hide their power level" when speaking to those outside the fold, so as to avoid scaring away potential recruits with overt Nazi rhetoric or symbols (milk before meat). When a person uses such rhetoric in a public setting, they are "revealing their power level". The phrase comes from the Dragon Ball media franchise, and is also generally used on 4chan to describe one's knowledge of a topic, usually "nerd stuff" (so, in a non-Nazi usage, "hiding power level" may refer to not revealing too much about one's knowledge of video games, comic books, anime and other topics).[301]

Pridefall [ edit ]

Pridefall, often preceded by a hashtag symbol (#), was an alt-right campaign begun in June 2020, coinciding with that year's Pride Month, aimed against LGBTQ+ social media users. Though part of the campaign was generalized homophobia and transphobia,[302] a more sinister part of the campaign was the creation by alt-righters of disposable accounts that pretended to be queer, which then spread phishing links. The links, if clicked, could reveal the IP addresses of members of sexual minorities.[303] This information could then be used for doxing or other targeted harassment.

Proud Boys [ edit ]

Proud Boys are a less-overtly-but-still-pretty-fucking-openly racist alt-right gang that was founded by Gavin McInnes (co-founder of Vice Media). McInnes has openly admitted to Proud Boys being a straight-up gang. Their emphasis is on "Western values" rather than being white.[56] A street-fighting subgroup of Proud Boys, called "Fraternal Order of the Alt-Knights" (FOAK), includes as part of its initiation process gang-style hazing.[304][305] Although McInnes told the Proud Boys not to go to the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, the organizer of the rally (Jason Kessler) had in fact been a Proud Boy who was interviewed by McInnes before the rally.[306] The Proud Boys in fact do attract the same men who are attracted to white nationalism, those who think, "Our culture is better than yours. Our women need to stay home and make more babies. Our country has no more space for immigrants. We are being persecuted."[306]

Alpha male Gavin McInnes[307]

PunchANazi [ edit ]

#PunchANazi was a brief false flag Twitter campaign staged by the alt-right to smear liberals as violent extremists.[308] The campaign consisted of showing pictures of heavily bruised women, children, and senior citizens (all white, naturally) accompanied by captions sarcastically stating that these people were probably Nazis and therefore deserved it. This was all done to convince people that leftists are insane fanatics who advocate violence and brutality against innocent people under the vague suspicion that they might be Nazis. The campaign crashed and burned almost immediately because it was too transparently dishonest for even the Internet to believe — which really says a lot.

Race realism [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Racialism

Race realism (or "Human Biodiversity") is a pseudoscientific (and ironic) euphemism for the alt-right's racist beliefs. Use of the word "realism" is meant to both imply that there is a scientific basis to claims made about minority groups (despite the fact that most actual scientists have been able to find no such evidence whatsoever) and to implicitly accuse dissenters of denying reality.

Red pill [ edit ]

Taking the red pill is synonymous with converting to alt-right views.[137] A red pill is something — news, text, or meme — that justifies alt-right views. A red-piller is someone who has converted to alt-right views or someone who converts others to alt-right views. Red-pilling or dropping red pills is the act of recruiting people to the alt-right cause. Someone who has taken the red pill is based. Someone who has not taken the red pill is bluepilled or cucked. A hard red pill is an argument that they think is really convincing.

The term is a reference to The Matrix, in which taking the red pill means learning the truth about society to which most others remain happily oblivious, while taking the blue pill means remaining part of the sheeple and believing that nothing is wrong. Alt-righters use this terminology as a means of advocating for (ironically enough) a more traditional way of life; in most cases, this requires the belief that progressiveness and social equality are the oppressive status quo and that the authoritarian bigotry upheld by the alt-right is subversive and revolutionary. That way, you can act like a fascist and still feel like you're speaking truth to power.

For humor: the term references the pill provided by a black man in The Matrix, which enlightens one about the flaws in the system in a movie made by two transgender women, and is an allegory for the coming out process of transgender people, with the pill itself representing HRT medication.[309] Or: alt-righters can't even watch The Matrix right.

REEEEEEE [ edit ]

See Autistic screeching.

Remember the 6 trillion [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Holocaust denial

The phrase "oy vey, remember the 6 trillion"[note 6] implies that the Holocaust was faked to guilt-trip people into supporting some "Jewish agenda". Anything of the form remember the 6 [X]illion[310] (in particular, 6 gorillion[311] or 6 gorillian[312]) is a reference to this.

Remove kebab [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Genocide

Novislav Đajić's ode to genocide

Remove kebab originates from the nickname given to a propaganda video, which is also commonly called Serbia Strong, though the actual title in Serbian is Караџићу, води Србе своје / Karadžiću, vodi Srbe svoje (Karadžić, Lead Your Serbs), and is also known as Бог је Србин и он ће нас чувати / Bog je Srbin i on će nas čuvati (God Is a Serb and He Will Protect Us). [313] The video repeatedly pops up on YouTube even though it was banned.[314] It was produced by three Bosnian Serb soldiers in tribute to Radovan Karadžić, who was convicted for war crimes against Bosnian Muslims. The accordionist in the recording, Novislav Đajić, was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment for the murder of 14 people during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s.[315] A still frame of Đajić’s face from the recording (he’s in military fatigues and playing an accordion), subsequently became a 4chan meme, known as "Dat Face Soldier".[315]

Someone produced a truly intellectual copypasta that begins:[316]

A more accurate translation from a possibly-biased source is also available: it references war criminal Radovan Karadžić as the leader of the Serbs, and associates the modern-day Croatian cause (as well as the Turks) with the fascist Ustaše of World War II.[317] There is no reference the kebabs, smells, or any obvious allusions to dehumanization[317] but it's doubtful that the alt-right cares.

In short: the "remove kebab" alt-right concept of the song positively references the killing, expulsion, and genocide of Muslims ("kebabs"). And yes, they think it's edgy.[318][319] The proper response may be found in Polandball.[320]

The phrase received more mainstream media attention after its use by the perpetrator of the Christchurch terrorist attacks.[321]

This song gained even more notoriety — if that is even possible — after the 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Austrian Peter Handke. Handke, a Serbian genocide apologist,[322] not only supported Serbian war criminal Slobodan Milošević, [322] but was also Đajić's best man at his wedding.[323]

RWDS [ edit ]

RWDS is an acronym for Right Wing Death Squads.[324] Alt-righters hope for right wing death squads so that their enemies (communists, black people, Muslims and Jews) can be killed.[325][326][327][328][329][330] Like many alt-right memes it is indistinguishable from parody and therefore can be misinterpreted as a joke.[331]

Things or people the alt-right dislikes are Sad! and therefore cucked. The term originates with Donald Trump's Tweet style.[109] "Sad!" is also used by anti-Trumpers in an ironic sense.

Saint [ edit ]

In alt-right culture, it's considered fun and "edgy" to pretend to "canonize" a mass shooter using the word saint. So, you can see "Saint Tarrant" for the New Zealand mosque shooter,[332] "Saint Kyle of Kenosha" for the alleged Wisconsin protest murderer,[333] etc. This may have crossed over from incel culture, as Saint Elliot was used for the 2014 Isle Vista shooter relatively early on.[334]

Shapeshifting Jews [ edit ]

Shapeshifting Jews is a trope that Jews can change their appearance when they so desire. Shapeshifting is common in world mytholgies, including European mythology. Shapeshifting is associated with shamanism, and also occurs in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, and Homer's Iliad.[335] The 'shapeshifting Jews' trope often associates the shapeshifting with demonic possession or Satanic influence.[336] The trope can also allude to Jews are not white.[337]

David Icke may have been referencing this trope in his 2010 book Human Race Get Off Your Knees where he claims that the world is ruled by shapeshifting reptilian humanoids and "Rothschild Zionists",[338] though he has claimed not to be an antisemite for what it's worth (zero). The 2006 satirical film Borat , which explored antisemitism in parts, also referenced the shapeshifing Jews trope ("I am in a nest of Jews. They have cleverly shifted their shapes." and later "One of them has taken the form of a little old woman. You can barely see her horns. She have tried to poison me already. These rats are very clever. Look, the Jews have shifted their shapes.").[339] Some Parisian Muslims believed that the 2015 terrorist attacks on Charlie Hebdo were orchestrated by shapeshifting Jews.[340]

Shekel [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Evil Jew

The alt-right uses shekel, a Hebrew word (with Akkadian etymology[341]) for money (and Israel's current currency), to imply that something has been funded by the Jews and is thus tainted.

Shitlord [ edit ]

Or more rarely shitlady. An alt-right Internet troll.[137] The term has its roots on the left where it was used to describe bigots and trolls posting "ironic" bigotry, but it is increasingly worn as a badge of pride by them, in the manner of "Yes, I'm one of those evil white cisgender shitlords." Edgelord is a similar term used in the broader internet community (e.g., manosphere, Gamergate, 4chan), which in addition to trolling includes deliberately offensive contributions to Internet forums.

Shlomo [ edit ]

Shlomo or Schlomo, meaning peaceable, is a common Hebrew male given name. It is the anglicization of the Hebrew שְׁלֹמֹה ("Shlomoh"), referring to Solomon.[342] Those in the alt-right use Shlomo as a synonym of Jewish.[343][344] Alt-right trolls will often use aliases such as Shlomo Shekelberg on social media.[345][346][note 7] Such accounts often use the Happy Merchant as their profile picture.[348]

Shoah [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Holocaust

Shoah ("catastrophe" or "calamity") is the Hebrew term used since the 1940s to describe the Holocaust. Alt-right website The Right Stuff has a podcast called The Daily Shoah, its name being both a play on The Daily Show and a deliberately offensive reference to the Holocaust.[349] In alt-right circles, shoahed or shoah'd essentially means "shut down", and usually refers to the suspension of an alt-righter's social media account.[114][350][351][352][353]

Yair Rosenberg explains how those in the alt-right use the term:

On Twitter, whenever a Jew expresses concern about anti-Semitism or other bigotry, alt-right trolls invariably pop up to exclaim, "oy vey, it’s anudda shoah!" Thus, they trivialize both the contemporary concern and the Holocaust in one ugly utterance.[354]

Alt-righters sometimes use variants such as "grandchild of Holocaust survivors."[355] The phrase may originate with a Paul Joseph Watson tweet.[356] In some cases, these may be outright lies intended to discredit the Holocaust; in others there may be some truth to the statement as with Mike Peinovich who uses his ancestry as cover for his bigotry.[357][358]

Soros [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: George Soros

George Soros is a rich Jew who supports liberal causes. As such, he is seen as a shadowy puppetmaster among the alt-right. In particular, it is common to claim that X protest or Y rally or Z person was "funded by Soros". Antifa (or more likely "the terrorist group known as (((Antifa)))") is a particularly common thing to tie to him.

Soy boy [ edit ]

See the main article on this topic: Soy boy

Similar to "cuck", soy boy (usually abbreviated to soy or sometimes spelled soyboi) is a pejorative term used by the alt-right to describe men on the left. It is also used as a homophobic dog-whistle to dehumanize LGBT men. It is based off the high phytoestrogen content in soy — phytoestrogens being plant-based chemicals that have a similar chemical structure to estrogen. While it may be obvious to anyone who didn't completely fail high school biology, alt-righters don't seem to understand that plants and humans are different. Furthermore, with a basic understanding of chemistry, you can easily understand that even if 2 molecules have the same structure, when they are made from different chemicals, surprise surprise, they will have different chemical properties. Estrogen is a hormone involved in female body development, but is also naturally found at lower levels in men. Alt-right men such as Paul Joseph Watson have claimed via pseudoscience that consuming soy will make men "girly" by polluting their precious bodily fluids, even though no science has pointed to high consumption of soy "feminizing" men. The alt-right uses this as "proof" that the person they're talking about is a girly-man to mock and brush off. See beta.

SPQR [ edit ]

SPQR is an abbreviation for the Latin Senātus Populusque Rōmānus, or "the Senate and People of Rome", one of the phrases associated with the Roman Republic and the Empire.[note 8] It was mostly associated with the civic sphere, as it mentions, well, the Roman Senate and people. However, in the grand tradition of fascists taking things and ruining them for everyone, the alt-right has begun using the slogan and associated banners due to a misconception of its association with the Roman military, as well as its use by (who else?) Benito Mussolini.[360][361] The irony of a motto traditionally used to denote a (semi-) democratic republic being used by fascists is, sadly, lost on most people.

Straight pride [ edit ]

Straight pride is a homophobic talking point[362] that claims, "There's gay pride but why not straight pride?" The answer is because heterosexuals are not oppressed as a group in society.

SWPL [ edit ]

Derived from the name of the satirical blog Stuff White People Like , a SWPL is an affluent, well-educated white person who's politically progressive, i.e. a virtue signalling cuck.

Three Percenters [ edit ]

Three Percenters' flag

Three Percenters (also 3%ers or III%ers) are a far-right militia movement. Their name derives from the erroneous idea that 3% of the population of able-bodied men of the 13 colonies fought against the British Empire during the American Revolution; the actual percentage was closer to 15%.[363] Three Percenters are part of the alt-right by dint of their having providing 'security' at the 2017 Unite the Right rally.[364]

Tiki torch [ edit ]

® Torches who forgot their pitchforks — Charlottesville Peasants with TikiTorches who forgot their pitchforks — Charlottesville

The alt-right co-opted the Tiki® Torch, an innocent barbecue torch, against the manufacturer's wishes and for their own nefarious purposes.[365] Richard Spencer said, "We've really gotten into the tiki torch nationalism, we’ve embraced it, I love it."[86] The use of Tiki Torches by racists is loaded with irony because:

The torches and pitchforks trope, [366] particularly parodies such as Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein . [367] When a mob using torches and/or pitchforks is going after a hero(es) in the drama, it often results in the shaming of the mob, [366] as was the case with the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017.

particularly parodies such as Mel Brooks' . When a mob using torches and/or pitchforks is going after a hero(es) in the drama, it often results in the shaming of the mob, as was the case with the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017. The word tiki originates from Polynesian languages. Tiki was a culture hero in much of Polynesia; among the Maori, Tiki was the first human.[368]

The use of torches as threatening instruments goes back to the Bible (John 18:3), but the more likely cultural reference for the alt-right is with the KKK's use of torches for cross burning to intimidate, and with the use of torchlight processions by Nazis at the Nuremberg rallies.[369]

TradWife [ edit ]

A term that refers to women having a role of submission within marriage, with the typical associations with homemaking and childbearing as women's lot in life. [370][371]

Trumpwave [ edit ]

Similar to Fashwave, Trumpwave is a political, pro-Trump (read: neo-Nazi) variant of the non-political/non-racist music genres Vaporwave and Synthwave.
