That poo poo doesn't even is worth a book other than the trend regarding mass shootings because other than that those guys became irrelevant as an actual movement.

which is a lot of why Nagle went off the deep end; Charlottesville killed her whole angle stone dead, and made the only people interested in hearing more from her pepes and the pepe-adjacent, who loved that someone was talking about them.

the feedback loop since then has been real fuckin' sad

there are still some people out there that think 4chan neets were a major reason why trump got elected, that book probably has a lot to do with it

My favorite part about 2016 is that Trump's victory margin is so small that just about anything that worked in his favor or against hillary can be argued as "the winning factor".

4chan Neets doing meme war? James Comey? Sexism? Hillary having a public seizure? "Basket of deplorables"? all at least arguable. Consensus is impossible! Everything went wrong!

tbf Boris is a disgusting toad who would violate his own mother's corpse if it took him a quarter-inch closer to No.10

I don't think he'll turn on Brexit, but he'd do it in a heartbeat if he thought it was even remotely in his interest to do so.

Exploration is ill-advised.
A key thing about Nagel and the channer takes on politics in general is that they're still incapable of comprehending that the 'left' isn't a monolith of upper-middle class :decorum: addled centrist liberals who somehow are considered representatives of socialism.

yeah i feel like ironically this is indicative of privilege, where the only leftists someone who thinks this knows are from the same wealthy communities/schools they lived in/went to etc

if you went to an ivy league and the only leftists you ever met are trust fund kids obsessed with liberal identity stuff than yeah, youre gonna have a dumb warped view of the left.

straight pride movements are insulting to other straight people because not needing a pride movement is already a huge sign of straight pride. needing some kind of movement for it cheapens straightness by putting it on the same level as gayness

find/replace straight with white or Christian or some other majority identification as needed

there’s no pride in being the default, and “straight pride” is a pure reactionary contrarianism in the same vein as “why don’t we have a white history month?”
