OKAY SO WITH WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE.
People are complaining about this headline. “Just call them Neo-Nazs” or whatever… But this is the best headline. It acknowledges there is a thing called the Alt-Right. This is something they identify with, this is something the readers will hear more as time goes on. It doesn’t try and hide that fact. But it makes it clear that they are neo-nazis. It puts it front and center. It scare quotes “alt-right”. It makes sure that when you, the reader, see Alt Right said by someone who doesn’t want you to think Nazi, you will still think Nazi.
You can’t stop horrible people from using this term. So if you try and act like Alt-Right is a term that doesn’t exist you just help conceal them.
