Insofar as alt-right is a synonym for neo-Nazi that would certainly be a laughably ridiculous claim.

That's why 'alt right' wasn't being used as a synonym for Neo-Nazis - that's your own straw man to laugh at.

Alt-right used to mean alternative-to-Boomer-conservative (i.e. right-leaning 4chan/meme culture) and then it meant neo-Nazi (e.g. Richard Spencer).

What does it mean to you?

By suing Google for discrimination against white conservative men, Damore fits this fairly well. That, and the alt-right podcasts he went on.
