Why do you believe the alt-right was Canadian in origin? I was under the impression that it originated in the US.

Tangentially, none of them call themselves “alt-right” anymore; this label was imposed upon three disparate movements (techno-commercialists, ethno-nationalists, and theonomists), rather than one that emerged organically. It was never a particularly popular label on /pol/ or Frog Twitter, for example.

I don't know what Frog Twitter is/was, but it was incredibly popular in many different spheres on twitter, now bluesky.
