"alt-right" currently at peak popularity, per Google searchespic.twitter.com/lLKBuxnVN6
Well maybe, but curiosity isn't necessarily popularity.
"Peak popularity" is the way Google describes it when a search term reaches a historical "peak"
Ah, ok, didn't know the term of art. I don't doubt a lot of people want to read/know more about Alt Right.
And some percentage is going to end up embracing alt-right ideals, thus strengthening the "movement." This seems undeniable.
Probably--you lift up the rock and stuff comes crawling out.
Sure, some will embrace alt right but vast majority will take one look & be repulsed.
So the alt-right will have gained strength as a result of HRC's action. That's been my contention all along.
Seems to me a movement can get lots of attention & also be marginalized: see Westboro Baptist Church.
Alt-right and Westboro are of such a fundamentally different nature that the parallel is useless. Apples & oranges.
how are they different?
