Postcolonialism[edit]
Is this really ever used as a synonym for postmodernism or Cultural Marxism? Never seen it. Maybe used by right-wing movements in non-Western countries? All I could think of. Chillpilled (talk) 22:30, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- I'd delete it unless someone can come up with a citation. Bongolian (talk) 02:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
DEI[edit]
@Bongolian removed a section about "DEI" from the article. No real reason was given for its removal, so I've tentatively put it back, but I'm still not 100% sure that it belongs on the page (it was added by a BoN, which means there's a real possibility of trolling that I didn't notice, and I'm also not sure of its relevance to an alt-right glossary). Anyone have a third opinion to offer? --Luigifan18 (talk) 00:43, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- The section was added without any citations and looks like a drive-by troll piece. I agree with Bongo's assessment and removal. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 01:04, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I rewrote a fair bit of it. Hopefully it looks a bit better now. I don't think it quite fits the alt-right either (it's more in the critical race theory category and being pushed by certain institutions and reactionaries) but I don't know where else to put it.BobJohnson (talk) 01:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I deleted the initial section on DEI because it had no citations and gave no evidence that there is anything specific to the alt-right that is not also in the milieu of US conservativism. There are now citations, but still no argument that it is in any way specific to the alt-right. I think it should either be removed or moved to a separate page at this point. Bongolian (talk) 02:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't really have any objections to that. --Luigifan18 (talk) 02:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

[edit]
The Talk Page's archive is busted; The list of sections is there, but there's only one section actually present for some reason. TheOneAndOnlyCirrusMan (talk) 18:34, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Fixed. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 19:32, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Cobson[edit]
Looks like a new Wojak-like has dropped. I'm not sure what it's intended to mean, but I've seen several references to "Cobson won" from apparent right-wingers in response to a new Innuendo Studios video, and I found this bizarre, uh... game? Does anyone know what this meme is about? I found this on Know Your Meme, and it seems related to "Ack!", but this is otherwise new to me, and, it would seem, this page. Twentydragon (talk) 15:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Superfluous, I promise. We truly don't need an entry for every soyjak derivative. Chillpilled (talk) 15:52, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Fair, but a redirect might be useful. Twentydragon (talk) 16:07, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't quite get what the 'Cobson won' thing has to do with the video, though I haven't yet watched it. TheOneAndOnlyCirrusMan (talk) 17:03, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have watched the video, and I don't get the connection either. I suspect it has nothing to do with that video and instead is referring to a previous video, an exchange between Danskin and somebody else, a far-right figure sending their followers to flood Danskin's comments, or some combination of those three.

About the 41%/40% section[edit]
I think it should also be worth mentioning that some use a farcical 50%/52% statistic (Because bigots can't even get their own bullshit straight, who could've possibly seen this coming!); I sadly don't have sources on hand (Nor do I want to seek them out), but if you argue with this kind of person frequently, you will probably see it sooner or later.
