Maybe 18 months ago, but "Alt-Right" has taken a much more catch-all form over the last year.

You really don't think calling someone Alt-Right is a slur?
Has the word changed? Most people (when trying to have productive conversations with others) use commonly accepted definitions from legitimate sources. You can't just decide to change the definitions of certain words and then expect to have a meaningful dialogue. That sounds like the more recently (and not universally accepted) Far left definition of "racism" and "racist" in recent years.
Would you please provide the definition that you are operating under? I would say most people see the "Alt-Right" as a loose collection of Fringe right wing hate groups such as White Supremacists, Neo-Nazis and Fascists.
