A term coined by members of the alt right and the right-wing media to try to draw parallels between Neo-Nazis/White supremacists on the one side and those who protest against them, sometimes violently. In contrast to "alt right," which was coined by the alt-righters themselves to mainstream themselves with a more legitimate-sounding title for their racist, anti-Semitic, misogynist agenda, the term "alt left" was coined by alt-righters in order to marginalize those who oppose them. "Alt left" seems to be an umbrella term currently thrown at everyone from Democrats, to people who speak out against racism, sexism, homophobia, and anti-Semitism, to those who call for anarchy and may even support that call with violence, in an effort to sideline them all.
If you are in favor of taking down a statue of a confederate war general, then you must be from the Alt Left.

Alt-Left
The political leaning of someone who wants to deconstruct Western society as they believe it to be oppressive to those who are not straight, white or men. Another main belief of an Alt-Leftist is that Critical Race Theory is a world view that is essential to everything, ignoring the fact that their qualms are from centuries ago but implemented it in a way that seems vengeful, appealing to past injustices that have already been dealt with. Another identifier is the usage of the 'Oppression Olympics', a system in which people are judged by their "privilege" with those who are judged to have most privileged to be at the bottom and those who have the least amount of privilege are at the top; Alt-Leftists use the Oppression Olympics to silence opposition and raise up supporters.
They are mostly hidden because their ideas can't be explained fully by the opposing sides as their motives are conflicting and their definitions are muddled out of malice. They also are very intrusive, Alt-Leftists like to invade all spaces possible and make them appeal to them which results in that space changing and driving out the people who originally resided there. Tactics Alt-Leftists use are quite various, typically it's public shaming and struggle sessions but other times it is threats of job loss and harassment. Rarely is it ever violence, as the Alt-Leftist is weak creature that relies on manipulating of others although city burning riots(see Mostly Peaceful Protests) have been seen.
