3/🧵

ā
Originating in the United States in 2008, the alt-right has rebranded far-right extremism into a more palatable form. In Canada, this movement is marked by a blend of anti-immigration, anti-Muslim, anti-Jewish, anti-multicultural, anti-feminist, and anti-government sentiments.

Its core narrative is that white identity and Western culture are under attack from multicultural forces. The Canadian alt-right can be broken down into several sub-groups:

• White Supremacists
• Manosphere/Masculinism Groups: Online communities that promote antifeminist views and sometimes justify gender-based violence.
• Ethnonationalists: Those who claim that shared ancestry is the foundation of national identity and that governments should protect a dominant culture.
• Anti-Muslim and Anti-Jewish Factions
• Sovereigntist & Militia Groups: Sovereigntists reject court and state authority. They can sometimes mobilize as militia.

These groups frequently employ patriotic rhetoric that resonates with certain conservative political narratives, leveraging grievances over economic insecurity and public safety.
