Soral is the most wank daddish Frenchman (down to also holding a Swiss citizenship), as most other examples are more in the pseudo-legitimate realm of media punditry but there's enough there (and around him) to explain why I was always kind of blasé about the whole "GamerGate/Alt-Right" (aka the Far-Right) thing, especially as something novel or a game changer. A lot of it was close to 1:1 what has been happening in France (and Western Europe, probably) just a few years prior. I'm sure some scholars looked into that and if it was to some extent imported by US Far-Right activists or just the natural slope we're on. Everything is bigger in the America, there was already a fertile soil to work with and I suspect a lot more permeability in the Republican party which is why it grew into a cottage industry so fast.
Maybe I'm reading that thing wrong but the recent "Alt-Right" turn in the US seems a lot more piloted by actual cryptofascists, neofacists and neonazis than the Tea Party.
