Most of the people who do so do not identify as alt right.
A growing number of the people who do so come from the left.  
"Normalizing language of white supremacy."  That's quite the mantra you have there.
It's the name of an identifiable set of claims with a known source, known history, and a known demographic corrollary.  Read the links.  It's just science, you know, facts. 

Or are you too much of a pc leftist cuck to handle the Hard Truth™?   Rolleyes

Quote:Have you considered the possibility that you are doing real harm when you struggle so hard to alienate anyone who doesn't want to stand under your tiny little dogmatic umbrella?  You take words that people in the liberal left find abhorrent, and then unless they support the same divisive (and ineffective) politics you espouse, you will attempt to demonize them.
That you're using the language means you're already alienated - and it strongly suggests that white supremacists have alienated you...regardless of whether you knew it was happening or not.  Frankly...it helps if you don't.  

Quote:If you were trying to find a way to drive much of the left toward the center or beyond, consistently arguing like a dick is a great way to do it.  Look at how the politics in pretty much the whole world is swinging right.  Why do you think that is?  Are people just turning into assholes for no reason?  Or could it be that the ridiculous extremes of the PC Left-- the fucking nonsense with the zes and the zers, for example, and the constant name-calling and accusations of oppression while being unwilling to consider constructive action-- could it be that people don't WANT to stand around sniffing your farts?
Are facts and data suddenly leftist?  

Quote:Consider this, and understand it.  It's not the siren's call of some dormant racism that is pulling people toward the right.  It's that people like you make having any kind of rational disussion, or finding any kind of common ground to build on, completely impossible, and that it is your express intent to do so.

Good luck with that.
Or maybe it's the racists, who've successfully re-branded racism in a way that appeals to you..and even fed you that very line?  50/50

You're -still- trying to defend yourself against the notion that you're a racist..and it's still an argument that you're only having with yourself. You'll also find this conversational dynamic in the links you've been given.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
