I think the problem with journalism about the alt-right is it's near impossible to tell who's sincere, who's joking, and who's half-joking-half-serious. I've been on 4chan for over a decade and I have trouble telling. It's even harder to tell who's actually influential in the community (tip: it's almost never the people who claim they are).
