We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Alt-lite

Icon altright.svg
Alt-lite (or alt-light) is a loosely-defined term used refer to at least one of the following:
  • a subfaction 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
  • right-wing individuals whose political positions are dangerously close to the alt-right but generally stopping short of explicit white nationalism.
  • individuals whose ideas are generally in line with those of the alt-right but do not identify as nor are labelled as such.
The alt-lite thus hopes to abandon (overt) anti-semitism and racism, which upsets the more militantly white-nationalist alt-right subfaction. The term "alt-lite" also functions as a pejorative (similar to cuck) slung at alt-rightists who aren't racist enough. The alt-right terminology for distinguishing themselves from the alt-lite often refers to "naming the Jew" (i.e., public expression of anti-semitism).
