What's hypocritical (to me) about the alt-right is that they whine about the left being "totalitarian", while openly admiring tyrants like Hitler, Mussolini, & Pinochet.
They claim to despise identity politics, but they are for "national identity." More specifically: white identity. ...God help you if you talk about the merits of black or Latino or indigenous identity, though.
IMO, It's idiotic that some people's sense of white identity rests either on explicit dominance or on an attempt to boost their colossal egos by imagining everyone else as inferior.
And how is living in a diverse, multicultural, multi-racial/ethnic society an obstacle to enjoying one's own culture?
Speaking of one's culture, I never see these alt-right nationalists talking about enjoying cultural festivals or bring involved in a historical society or something. They don't seem to appreciate sites &/or museums.
Some alt-Righters & nationalists (at least Scandinavian ones or those with its ancestry), identify with Vikings, Odinism, & Asatru- mainly because they think Vikings are tough and a strong symbol of masculinity.
To me, however, these wanna-bes are like angry, ankle-nipping dogs who think they're wolves.
The SPLC has some good information on the topic:

One last thing- for claiming to be such "superior white men", the alt-Right sure loves to whine about Jewish people, liberals, feminists, and anybody who isn't white.
I hope I didn't ramble too much. My next posts will be funny
