You can literally copy-paste this under a section in the alt-right article. -- Aleccat 23:15, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
:Keep and expand, as well as move some content here from
Alt-Right. This is recognized as a distinct movement from the alt-right, not just by people in these circles, but by civil rights organizations including the ADL. I have found a good number of sources on this and intend to try this over the next few days. See

The alt-lite aren't "civic nationalists"; they are lite ethnic nationalists (hence, the term "alt lite"). Read the article on ethnic nationalism — it sounds nothing like the alt-lite, who may not explicitly support an exclusionary ethnostate, but support xenophobic and racist policies to preserve the white majority.

Regarding this edit, the 15th edition was in 2016, and the 16th lists 2019 as a publication date. The cited link has 2018 which suggests error or laziness. The 16th is searchable through google books and doesn't mention "alt-right", much less "alt-lite" (or "alt-light"). If this was the older edition, it is extremely unlikely this introductory textbook would go into detail of the term in 2015, when the 2016 edition was being prepared. The granular nature of the attached information is suspect, as well, so I have reverted to a previous version before that source was added, with some streamlining.
Likewise this edit removed material cited to a book written in 1996. This is very obviously WP:SYNTH. Sources need to be about the "alt-light" or else they're basically useless for this article. Grayfell ( talk) 08:39, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

It is by no means certain that one can properly refer to those associated with the Alt-lite aggregation as a movement. If we regard a movement as "a group of people working together to advance their shared political, social, or artistic ideas," it is doubtful they form any kind of coherent movement. We see in the etymology section that they are people Richard Spencer would like to purge from his Alt-right movement though he assumed the Free-Speech people were, in fact, his people. We further understand that the Alt-lite are people whom some associate with the Alt-right for political reasons which makes the term a simple pejorative label because of the racism of Spencer. This etymology section is inadequate. Ariel31459 ( talk) 14:53, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
He hasn't been relevant to anything since 2017 after CPAC. Maybe a better example would be more suitable, especially considering what's come out about him since then and his close ties to actual Neo-Nazis. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her ( talk) 01:06, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
