Is it? I mean, the alt-right has been insanely nebulous of a term since it's inception and has been mostly shunned by most right-leaning folks.

Then again, I don't know much about where Chapo is either. Seems like a hard left sub but they also seem to hate liberals who champion many of the same things they do. I don't know, this shit is getting so muddy.

Far worse. Chapo is unironic communist/Bolshevik terrorists calling for actual violence.

Disagree. I don't think that the alt right IN GENERAL are fascist revolutionaries who want to kill people. I do think the Chapos ARE revolutionaries who want to kill people.

That'd be like saying a .50 cal can do the same damage as a 9mm. Sure, they can both kill you, but there's an obvious difference in degree of severity.
