If this dark, anti-Semitic, race segregationist ideology grows in the coming years, with their vision of the future that would necessitate violence, those who made the right attractive will have to take responsibility for having played their role. It seems mostly just as if it's unfinished; typos abound, strangely wrong quips about PTSD, unclear and sporadic theses, repeatedly bafflingly caricaturistic presentations of Friedrich Nietzsche, etc. Suddenly when Trump got elected, liberal or left leaning journalists were trying to catch up and work out what was ironic and what was real.
It describes the development of internet culture, the nature of political correctness, the emergence of the alt-right and the election of Donald Trump. These are not the same ideologies that consider Trudeau a white supremacist, which includes marxists, anarchists, and whoever else. Since the author's publications elsewhere (for instance, Jacobin) lack this deficiency, I lay the blame on Zero Books. EDIT 30/10: I have read through This Is Why and it is not a citable source on Henderson; while the events are mentioned, the author provides no level of detail or quotes from trolls or the family. While taboo and anti-moral ideologies festered in the dark corners of the anonymous Internet, the de-anonymized social media platforms, where most young people now develop their political ideas for the first time, became a panopticon, in which people lived in fear of observation from the eagle eye of an offended organizer of public mass shaming.Evaluating the Effectiveness of Deplatforming as a Moderation Strategy on Twitter, Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 5 :CSCW2, (1-30), Online publication date: 13-Oct-2021.
Yes, it is important to explore some of the reactionary aspects of the left, but her continual equation of self-indulgent Tumblr-types with far-right men who doxx, threaten, and in a few cases, even murder women is appalling.Though I've been guilty of it myself in the past, I would now caution that these issues should be considered before diving straight into the psycho-sexual interpretations. Then she explains her view on videogames, saying that as an adult your emotional energies should be used better elsewhere. What seemed to hold them all together in their obscurity was a love of mocking the earnestness and moral self-flattery of what felt like a tired liberal intellectual conformity running right through from establishment liberal politics to the more militant enforcers of new sensitivities from the wackiest corners of Tumblr to campus politics. She doesn't present alternatives and instead falls back on this idea that we should us our Free Speech™ to debate the Alt-Right and win the ‘culture wars’.
It doesn’t mean that the left will win with just No-Platforming or whatever tactics she says are common among the ‘Tumblr left’. A highly unsympathetic cyber genealogy of the 'alt-right' that is at the same time an unsparing account of the vicious stupidity of woke liberal twitter shaming. At some point an obsession with identity became one of the guiding lights of the left, but also a toxic mixture of victimhood and vicious attacks on anyone not toeing the line.The implied Social Justice association with Tumblr is a result of years of mockery by those on the Alt-Right (mainly Reddit/r/TumblrInAction and 4chan).
