As part of the /s/ShillWall efforts, I'd like to highlight the uses of the following fallacies in this thread:

  1. Loaded Title - the title already implies everything on this sub is "Alt-Right", without the post providing any evidence that lead to the claim.

  2. Guilt By Association - when asked to define "Alt-Right", OP replies "Big corp censorship posts Anti- antifa/blm posts Gun rights posts Anti gender issues posts", implying that since some right people support those causes, everybody who does is "Alt-Right".

Note that this post is merely made to highlight logical fallacies used by OP, not accuse the user of using them as part of a shilling campaign.

To learn more about shill tactics, and general forum subversion tactics, feel free to check out this thread.

You are, again, mislabeling those topics.

Big corp censorship is a topic that spans across all the political spectrum, except a few left-wing extrimists who this censorship currently benefits.

Anti-antifa/Anti-blm posts, are, again, likely posted by all Americans who are living near those insurrection groups. Those are everybody but those groups themselves, and those who support them.

Gun rights are a general conservative issue, and an even more important libertarian issue. Oh, and some communist groups on the extreme left support those rights as well. It's can't be an "alt" right issue when everybody on the right (and most of the center) support it.

"Anti gender" posts, which are actually pro gender and anti-trans post, are actually posted by a group which used to comprise the farther parts of the left (Feminists and LGBT), and has now been finally left behind after the corporate overlords radicalized "more oppressed" populations and chose them over their old toys.
