Fair enough, but you have to realize that nobody calls themselves "alt-right" with the philosophy "Oh boy, more racism and school shootings is just what this country needs."

I’ve yet to see a single consistent principle from them to be fair. Reactionary is kind of their defining feature. I was more talking about the outcomes that tend to follow them around.

If you summed up the American right as "We don't all agree what we want, but it's certainly not this. It was better before," I think most right-wingers would agree. "Reactionary" is thrown around as though all sweeping change is progress, and that's not necessarily true.

I feel like maybe you’re responding to an argument I’m not actually making. I don’t disagree with anything you just said in that post.

My point was that you're never going to find consistent principles in a group that's really a coalition of the persistently unhappy, beyond "this isn't progress".

Have people like Nick Fuentes, Richard Spencer, Matt Walsh, or Alex Jones never said that sort of stuff? I’d be shocked if none have. I’ve seen Walsh and Fuentes say unhinged insanity and call for the persecution if not death of some marginalized groups.

Yes they do; the phrase was coined by Richard Spencer. They even had a website: AlternativeRight.com
