I wouldn't say that I'm exactly from the right though, even though most here would probably see me as coming from the right. I'm not a libertarian either. A lot of people confuse Objectivists with Libertarians. There is some superficial resemblance between L and O. But the differences are pretty deep.
Yea, it's actually pretty funny. I've been called alt-right by people on the far left, even here on this forum, and have been called a regressive leftist libtard by people on the far right, on another board I frequent; people can be so off about your political views because they'll make a general judgment about you based on one opinion.
I've talked to other members here at length in private messages about how easily the term alt-right gets thrown around. It seems to be a placard given to anyone who doesn't check the correct boxes for whoever is making the accusation. You don't think trans women should be allowed to compete in a body building competition? You're an alt-right, nazi piece of shit! Although, it won't be said so explicitly, usually. It will be subtly, or not so subtly, implied, lest they be incorrect in their judgment, they can always backpedal on it later.
It is what it is.
Best I can say is be clear and concise in your speech. Glad to have you here, regardless.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
