I was reading an article about the 5 myths of the alt-right, and I came across these words that I wasn't familiar with:

cucks - milquetoast conservatives

normies - people with mainstream views

According to the article, the alt-right movement mostly lives online. The devotees post on message boards and troll cucks and normies.

Have you heard of these words?

No, but "normie" suggest the alt-right types are abnormal.

Anormies?

Several mainstream outlets mentioned (and defined) "cucks" recently.

I think it's a misspelling of "kooks" -- which indicates their intelligence level.

Interestingly, in this NPR report I heard, they say that it started as being a white supremicist, then went to white nationalism, and from that to the alternative white (or alt white). It is quite a pejorative term.
