It's funny, as someone who has delved deep into alt-right echo chambers that many other leftists don't have the stomach to look at, I have not seen these supposedly sharp delineations between the different sects.
Now obviously, /pol/ has basically become Stormfront Jr. so this does not literally represent the movement as a whole. But there has been extensive analysis about the rampant crossover between /pol/, Trump worshipers, incel groups, and MGTOWs. They seem to mix quite homogeneously

So what I am saying is this; these groups are all the alt-right. And the alt-right are often disaffected young men who are not successful with women and are resentful of the world. Although they seem mostly pretty dim, they know how deception on the internet works.

4chan is the home of internet deception. And they prey on peoples' gullibility to believe what they are told at face value. They want you to believe that there are all these little pocket groups on the right with these disagreeing ideologies, but there's just no proof of that.

In reality, they are in very staunch agreement about who the enemies are on the alt-right. The distinction is between libertarian Ron Paulians, classic GOP'ers, and the alt-right. The boundaries of those groups are generally where the disputes any lie, NOT within the alt-right.

And while the classic GOP has almost no online presence, Ron Paulians have largely been brainwashed much closer to the alt-right than vise versa. There is a great deal of crossover at this stage, as can be evidenced by 'don't step on snek' Twitter and Helicopter Twitter.

So this whole "oh man, we gotta be nuanced about all the different kinds of alt-righters," while it's true in a certain sense that there are many subgroups, it's silly to pretend that there are significant ideological differences. There are mostly just demographic differences.

Also, note: Twitter adding this multi-tweet feature was really not the right thing for me. They should not have enabled my lower tendencies. In doing so, they have unleashed something evil upon this universe; Daniel with as much space as he likes.
