The “alt-lite”, also called the “alt-light” and the “new right”, is a loosely-defined politics movement comprising various politically-oriented communities, activists and commentators with right-wing views, who to differing levels oppose mainstream conservatism. The alt-lite is generally contrasted with and set alongside the politics alt-right, with which it is considered to discuss various features in keeping and both experience some overlap. Matching to Oren Segal of the Anti-Defamation Group, the alt-lite “runs in the orbit of the alt right”. Others have referred to it as an offshoot of the alt-right, however the alt-lite remains different from the alt-right for the reason that statements to reject personality politics (like the white nationalism and racialism of the alt-right), though they show many other key features and values.
