So, . . . poor old DonDiego requests a definition of the term "white nationalism" as employed by malibber2, and malibber2 provides another term with which DonDiego is unfamiliar.
This is from a great article that breaks it down into bite sized bits for DonDiego.

The alt right encompasses longstanding racist organizations; taboo-scorning Twitter trolls; unapologetic misogynists; professional Islamophobes; and so-called neo-reactionaries, a movement of futuristic monarchists. What unites these figures is a fundamental rejection of egalitarianism, contempt for democracy, and irreverent glee in their ability to shock the bourgeoisie. Daryle Lamont Jenkins, who founded the One People’s Project to track the far right, describes the alt right as “hipster Nazis.”

The white nationalist Richard Spencer was on vacation in Japan when he learned that Hillary Clinton was planning to give a speech about Donald Trump’s ties to the so-called alt right, and he was thrilled. “It’s hugely significant,” Spencer told me by Skype from Kyoto. “When a presidential candidate—and indeed the presidential candidate who is leading in most polls—talks about your movement directly, I think you can safely say that you’ve made it.”

He coined the term alternative right, founding the website alternativeright.com in 2010, which has since morphed into the highbrow racist RadixJournal.com.

Yet it is Trump, not Clinton, who has given the alt right unprecedented political relevance. It’s not just that he’s a hero to the movement. He has actively helped expand its reach. He retweets white supremacist accounts and echoes alt-right rhetoric about America’s devolution into a violent mongrel hellscape, besieged by immigrants from without and crime and disorder from within. Trump shares the alt right’s respect for Vladimir Putin, admired by many in the alt right as the leader of what Spencer calls “a powerful white empire.” (By contrast, said Spencer, the countries of NATO are “cucked nations”—cuckbeing a favorite alt-right insult, invoking white men who are cuckolded by black men.)

Until recently, the overlap between Trump and the alt right seemed more a matter of what Spencer calls “elective affinities” than active coordination. But earlier this month, Trump hired Bannon, then chairman of Breitbart News, to be his campaign’s CEO. Bannon has run Breitbart since the death in 2012 of its eponymous founder, Andrew Breitbart, turning the site in an explicitly ethno-nationalist direction. “We’re the platform for the alt-right,” Bannon told the journalist Sarah Posner last month.
To summarize: The White Nationalist movement spawned the alt right. The alt right took over Breitbart and proudly proclaimed themselves as the platform for the alt right. Trump hired the guy that made Breitbart into the platform for alt right to be his campaign CEO.
