  The Alt-Right is a neo-fascist white supremacist movement that is involved in
violent extremism and shows signs of engagement in extensive disinformation
campaigns. Using social media data mining, this study develops a deeper
understanding of such targeted disinformation campaigns and the ways they
spread. It also adds to the available literature on the endogenous and
exogenous influences within the US far right, as well as motivating factors
that drive disinformation campaigns, such as geopolitical strategy. This study
is to be taken as a preliminary analysis to indicate future methods and
follow-on research that will help develop an integrated approach to
understanding the strategies and associations of the modern fascist movement.
