The ‘alt-right’ movement has taken to burning Carhartt clothing in protest against the brand’s support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
For many years, Carhartt has been a staple brand for workwear. The clothes are known for being durable and long-lasting, which is why they have become so popular with those who work in industries such as construction and farming. However, the brand has recently come under fire from those on the far right of politics.
The alt-right movement is a group of people who promote white nationalism and reject mainstream conservatism. They are generally associated with far-right ideologies such as white supremacy, Islamophobia, homophobia and transphobia. The group has become more active since Donald Trump’s election to president in 2016. In recent months, some members of the alt-right have started burning Carhartt clothing in protest against the brand’s support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
