Smith Page 1 of 6 Long Read Book Review: Deplorable Me: The Alt- Right Comes to Power by J.A. Smith J.A Smith reflects on two recent books that help us to take stock of the election of President Donald Trump as part of the wider rise of the ‘alt-right’, questioning furthermore how the left today might contend with the emergence of those at one time termed ‘a basket of deplorables’. Deplorable Me: The Alt-Right Comes to Power Devil’s Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump and the Storming of the Presidency. Joshua Green. Penguin. 2017. Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the Alt-Right. Angela Nagle. Zero Books. 2017. Find these books: In September last year, Hillary Clinton identified within Donald Trump’s support base a ‘basket of deplorables’, a milieu comprising Trump’s newly appointed campaign executive, the far-right Breitbart News’s Steve Bannon, and the numerous more or less ‘alt right’ celebrity bloggers, men’s rights activists, white supremacists, video-gaming YouTubers and message board-based trolling networks that operated in Breitbart’s orbit. This was a political misstep on a par with putting one’s opponent’s name in a campaign slogan, since those less au fait with this subculture could hear only contempt towards anyone sympathetic to Trump; while those within it wore Clinton’s condemnation as a badge of honour. Bannon himself was insouciant: ‘we polled the race stuff and it doesn’t matter […] It doesn’t move anyone who isn’t already in her camp’.

The “Great Meme War:” the Alt-Right and its Multifarious Enemies 1 The “Great Meme War:” the Alt- Right and its Multifarious Enemies Maxime Dafaure Memes and the metapolitics of the alt-right 1 The alt-right has been a major actor of the online culture wars of the past few years. Since it came to prominence during the 2014 Gamergate controversy,1 this loosely- defined, puzzling movement has achieved mainstream recognition and has been the subject of discussion by journalists and scholars alike. Although the movement is notoriously difficult to define, a few overarching themes can be delineated: unequivocal rejections of immigration and multiculturalism among most, if not all, alt- right subgroups; an intense criticism of feminism, in particular within the manosphere community, which itself is divided into several clans with different goals and subcultures (men’s rights activists, Men Going Their Own Way, pick-up artists, incels).2 Demographically speaking, an overwhelming majority of alt-righters are white heterosexual males, one of the major social categories who feel dispossessed and resentful, as pointed out as early as in the mid-20th century by Daniel Bell, and more recently by Michael Kimmel (Angry White Men 2013) and Dick Howard (Les Ombres de l’Amérique 2017).

  • Meme Frameworks a Semiotic Perspective on Internet Memes
    VIDEO JOURNAL OF EDUCATION AND PEDAGOGY (2019) 1-9 brill.com/vjep Meme Frameworks A Semiotic Perspective on Internet Memes Richard Kearney Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand [email protected] Abstract Memes are an increasingly prevalent means of communication in online spaces. Their influence is felt in the offline world as attitudes and dispositions traverse the postdigital membrane. The medium is emblematic of the democratic and participatory communities of the internet, yet there is evidence that they play a role in the well-documented political radicalisation that happens in online spaces. Semiotic concepts such as inter and intratextuality, and Peirce’s conception of habit provide a framework to understand how the language of memes is developed and transformed across a network. Keywords memes – semiotics – participatory culture – postdigital – online radicalisation © RICHARD KEARNEY, 2019 | DOI:10.1163/23644583-00401013 | THIS IS AN OPEN ACCESS ARTICLE DISTRIBUTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE CC-BY 4.0 LICENSE.

It is becoming increasingly commonplace to see memes as one mode, or the primary mode of communication in many of these spaces – spaces as diverse as corporate advertising, media fan communities, and political groups from the mainstream to the fringes. This paper will look at the ways in which memes have become part of the political landscape, in particular their role in radicalisation.

  • The Alternative Right in a Global World a Study of the Mindset, Framing and Reach of the Alternative Right and Its Impact on the Socially Acceptable of Today
    The Alternative Right in a Global World A study of the mindset, framing and reach of the Alternative Right and its impact on the socially acceptable of today Carmen Mirea Robrahn, 57220 5th Semester Project Module 2 Number of Characters: 46.236 Supervisor: Silas Fehmerling Harrebye Roskilde University, December 2017 Abstract This assignment investigates the branch of Alternative Right operating in the United States, and their aim of ‘going mainstream’ by challenging the dominant perceptions of what is politically and socially correct. Besides a few additions, the investigation draws on the corresponding literature review of this mini-project. Although the Alt-Right is commonly defined as a digital network, inspiration will be drawn from the field of social movement studies, to clarify its communicative practices constituting its mindset, values and goals. The analysis will be conducted on account of various online documents collected from well-known Alt-Right websites. Furthermore, the examination will provide some insight to the unstable subculture of 4chan Politically Incorrect board, which has become known as an Alt-Right digital hub. The study concludes, that there is no prospect of the Alt-Right going mainstream at this moment, as their framing tactics are too disorganized – especially due to the dissimilarity of the networks. However, the expertise in digital communication amongst its younger adherents, combined with better structured framing techniques, and a continuation of global far-right tendencies can make the future of the international Alternative Right.

  • Securitizing the Alt Right
    in ilburg apers ulture tudies 244 T P C S Securitizing the Alt Right: A discourse analytical study on alt-right online activism and its securitization processes by Zoe Savvidou Lund University [email protected] September 2020 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ ZOI SAVVIDOU Securitizing the Alt-Right A discourse analytical study on alt-right online activism and its securitization processes. Lund University Graduate School: SIMV07 Department of Political Science Supervisor: Ted Svensson Abstract Within the last decade, the alt-right movement has migrated from secluded corners of the internet into mainstream media. This migration, and subsequent gained following, challenges traditional views on security by bringing forth social actors that securitize, despite a lack of authority. This takes place on online platforms, such as YouTube, where the political and non-political coexist. This thesis aims to explore the securitization speech acts located within alt-right online discourse and their reinforcement of online alt-right activism. Combining securitization theory and Stritzel’s conceptualized speech acts, a large number of YouTube videos from the three most popular alt-right content creators are analyzed with a discourse historical approach to discourse analysis, in search for exclusionary narratives and tools that support securitizing moves. The analysis shows that alt-right securitization speech acts form a security discourse targeting liberalism, globalization and feminism. Furthermore, irony, othering and performativity are identified as the main tools for enhancing the effectiveness of the securitization acts by establishing a connection between audience and content creator.

  • Kill All the Normies
    Kill all the normies Continue 2017 non-fiction book by Angela Nagle Kill All Armies AuthorAngela NagleCountryUkryBriaLanguageEnglishSubjectInternet Culture, alt-right, political correctnessEnreCultural StudiesPublishero BooksPublishation date2017Pages136 page ISBN978-1-78-535543-1 Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the Alt-Right - a 2017 book published by the journal The Book of zero. The focus is on the development of Internet culture, the nature of political correctness, the far right and the election of Donald Trump. Nagle offers a left-wing critique of modern liberalism and its role in creating the alt-right movement in response. Synopsis Nagle presents his work as an attempt to map the online culture wars that occurred in the early 2010s and how this led to the development of the alt-right, which was instrumental in the election of Donald Trump. Nagle presents the 2010s as a period in which cyber-utopia began to emerge with the rise of online social activism, such as the Arab Spring, the Occupy movement, WikiLeaks, adbusters and Anonymous, which were based on decentralized leadership and online organizations. This Internet activity was immediately accepted by much of mainstream liberalism without any careful analysis or evaluation of the organizational structure and limitations of these Internet movements, which all led to a consistent failure and possible collapse. Many of these movements started on online forums based on images such as 4chan and 8chan. These forums, organized on the basis of anonymity, have developed a subculture among users, combining extremely transgressive and dark humor with a deeply misogynistic and racist attitude.

However, very little research exists about their discourse and organization online. This study aimed to analyze how a sample of alt-right supporters organized themselves in the week before and after the 2018 midterm elections in the US, along with which topics they most frequently discussed. Using community finding and topic extraction algorithms, results indicated that the sample commonly used racist language and anti- immigration themes, criticised mainstream media and advocated for alternative media sources, whilst also engaging in discussion of current news stories. A subsection of alt-right supporters were found to focus heavily on white supremacist themes. Furthermore, small groups of alt-right supporters discussed anime, technology and religion. These results supported previous results from studies investigating the discourse of alt-right supporters. arXiv:1910.03431v2 [cs.SI] 24 Oct 2019 Keywords polarization, far-right, community finding, topic extraction, political extremism 1 Introduction In recent years, far-right political parties and candidates have achieved increased electoral success across various Western states.
