Alt-Lite
Alt-Lite, a portmanteau of " Alt-Right" and "Lite" is a broad ideological label describing a set of movements which portray relatively moderate views while still maintaining a right-wing opposition to mainstream politics. It is economically centre-right to far-right, civically variable and culturally centre-right to far-right.
Alt-Lites are generally distinguished by having a much lower interest over the issues of race as compared to Alt-Rights, usually favoring some form of Civic Nationalism or Cultural Nationalism. Instead Alt-Lite is usually much more concerned with over the issues of culture, economics and what is being pushed by the state.
They are found in the right side of the Political Compass, with the overwhelming majority of them being in the Authoritarian side, some in the Right Unity and with a few on the Libertarian side.
History
The term "Alt-Lite" began to be used around 2017, mostly following the aftermath of the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in reference to those who had criticized the rally and tried to dissassociate themselves from it. However, people within the western online right-wing held to similar views since long before then. The people who in 2017 would be associated with the Alt-Lite were associated with the 'Gamergate' controversy in 2014.
Variants
Bannonism
Bannonism is a culturally right-wing to far-right, economically centre to centre-right ideology based off the views of Steve Bannon, former chairman of Breitbart and chief strategist of Donald Trump. He can be considered as being inbetween Alt-Right and Alt-Lite, as he's more moderate than the former but also more radical than the latter. Other than drawing from standard right-wing populist rhetoric, he has been influenced by more radical reactionary thinkers such as Julius Evola, Aleksandr Dugin, and Curtis Yarvin.
Carl Benjamin Thought
Carl Benjamin Thought or Sargonism is a culturally center-right to right-wing,democratic,civically moderately libertarian and economically center-right based off the views of youtuber Carl Benjamin also known as Sargon of Akkad (his YouTube nickname) that his content is principally against progressive, globalist and anti-capitalist view points in politics and culture.
He has consistently called himself a "classical liberal", despite his strong support of conservative and nationalist movements such as Brexit, with him being a former member of UKIP. More recently he has coined the phrase "liberalist" to describe himself, differentiating from the progressive left-liberals he mocks.
Personality and Behaviour
Alt-Lite is like a more watered-down version of Alt-Right. He usually looks to Alt-Right for his ideas but thinks he is a LARPing schizo. He usually tries to de-radicalize Alt-Right, though that rarely works. He also likes to play AltLife a lot.
Alt-Lite hates to be associated with Alt-Right, so he calls himself "Classical Liberal" or "Libertarian" (even if both of them absolutely hate him for hijacking their movements) also he accuses him of being a leftist movement.
Acts like the stereotypical edgy 14 year old with right-leaning culture war beliefs you'll see online. Usually calls anyone they don't like or who disagrees with them either "a cuck" or "leftist" and likes to complain about normies. In addition, constantly brings up the "free speech" card when someone is calling him out for his degenerate behavior.
