I'm certainly no expert on this alt-right madness, but I assume the "alt" is supposed to refer to an alternative to the globalist conservatives. They also seem to be rabidly anti-PC, even more so than your regular run of the mill Republicans (i.e. insane people). Not sure if that is particularly "alt". Basically, they don't seem much different to the tea-party to me. Full of rednecks, racists, misogynists and anti everything that isn't the US.

We took a hard left at Ridiculous Street onto Sublime Avenue. ESPN has pulled a play-by-play sports announcer from a University of Virginia football game because they're afraid his name will offend people. His name is Robert Lee. Geddit? Robert Lee? Like Marse Robert E. Lee, the finest gentleman ever born in the Great State of Virginia?

Here's his picture:

False flag. ESPN is a viper's nest of cunning right wingers. Pulled the commentator and made it look as though it was done as a result of pressure from the left.

Teachers’ union pushing to strip Sir John A. Macdonald’s name from Ontario schools

In a statement, the school board said trustees wanted to choose a name that reflected the city, adding:

“There is no doubt that Sir John A. Macdonald is a controversial historical figure and there are big questions that are being addressed as part of the national reconciliation process.”
The ETFO said using Sir John A. Macdonald’s name creates an unsafe environment for kids to learn and work in because Macdonald was a supporter of residential schools back in the 1800’s.

...

Over the years a number of protests have been held in Kingston during Sir John A. Macdonald celebrations. The group, Idle No More, has participated. Member, Natasha Stirrett, said the peaceful demonstrations are meant to highlight the prime minister’s role in establishing residential schools.

“We wanted a peaceful demonstration that raised awareness and builds communities in terms of having conversations of why it is not OK to celebrate genocidal historical figures,” said Stirrett.

I heard a headline in the news (tv on in the background) about the statue issue being raised in the context of Australia.

Well I'll stick to my guns here, a policy of leaving existing statues alone, even if the figure depicted were arseholes. By all means put up a plaque nearby laying bare their faults, but the statues themselves are part of the historical fabric of a place, not lightly to be discarded...

WTF? Are we still pretending there's such a thing as the "alt left" when it was specifically pointed out no such thing exists?
