I'd say it's more mass personality disorder than any real ideological content. That is, the content (paid lip service to, it's ALWAYS lip service) can wildly vary and turn around on a dime, if need be, without the underlying nature of it changing.

We don't know a perfected totalitarian power structure, because it would require the control of the whole planet. But we know enough about the the still preliminary experiments of total organization to realize that the very well possible perfection of this apparatus would get rid of human agency in the sense as we know it. To act would turn out to be superfluous for people living together, when all people have become an example of their species, when all doing has become an acceleration of the movement mechanism of history or nature following a set pattern, and all deeds have become the execution of death sentences which history and nature have given anyway.

-- Hannah Arendt, "Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft" p. 683

Consider how many streams the alt-right consists of! How it reaches into all sorts of subcultures. I bet you there's an alt-right section, of, say, alien believers. Just like there's fellow travellers in all major and minor religions. And they can fuse quicker than the left can stop to bicker.

The perpetrator of the greatest attempt to date ultimately died because the greater world powers did not respect fascism as rulership.
