People assume this book will be about the history of the alt-right, they don’t want thinkpiece-style writing about how much you like a certain video game and what you think about adults playing video games.

From reading the book it became apparent I'm most likely best classed as a person who believes in left economic ideas and reduced inequality who feels the left has lost its way by emphasising identify over inequality.

NRx, Dark Enlightenment, the 'Alt-Light', GamerGate, Richard Spencer, 4chan, Milo, weev, MGTOW, The Rebel, Pat Buchanan, Breitbart, Alex Jones, and Mike Cernovich are just some of the names mentioned. The Economist’s Open Future initiative asked her to reply to five questions in around 100 words each. Nagle is certainly familiar with the Alt-right (I presume from being in the thick of it), but has absolutely no understanding of the left. One of the most over-used (yet true) legal comparisons in Internet regulation studies is to contrast the European and US approaches to freedom of speech when it comes to cyberspace. mostly a fun, easy read, but drifts off into some very sketchy territory, especially when discussing tumblr and trigger warnings.

In the media spectacle of his election Oprah cried, Beyoncé sang and crowds of young, adoring fans rejoiced. These obscure online political beginnings became formative for a whole generation, and impacted mainstream sensibilities and even language. Gamer groups, various white nationalist and Christian conservative groups, and the remnants of the pick-up artist community congealed into a loosely affiliated, predominantly male movement referred to as the Alt-Right.Nagle argues that the pain, suffering and victimhood-affirming culture of Tumblr-liberalism is one of these reasons for the failure and I think she is right.

Nagle discusses the frustrated sexuality of the regular young male today and it is a legitimate discussion insofar that it makes up a portion of the frustrated young male who is not politicized until he is pushed towards the misogynistic underbelly of the Web which is again, not necessarily Nazi, but a couple of steps away from it at best.Very early on, players found out that when a Horde player said “lol”, it would be read by the opposition as “kek”. When this happened, nobody knew who to take literally anymore, including many of those in the middle of this new online right themselves. I have been fascinated for many years by the rise of the alt-right, a phenomenon that I have followed in gaming communities and Reddit forums, but it was very nice to see the disparate narrative of the online alt-right phenomenon brought together so well.
