The focus is on the development of Internet culture, the nature of , 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 , WikiLeaks, adbusters and , 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 . 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. In the second chapter, entitled Online Policy of Transgression, Nagle notes how political abuse has historically been linked to the political left, particularly the 's policies adopted by the alt- right. Nagle footage is the acceptance of transgression on the part of political rights, due to the concept of moral transgression that can be traced to the eighteenth century figures of the Marquis de Sade, the Surrealists, , the Punk subculture, and simultaneously in 1990s male frenzy films like the American Psychopath and The Fighting Club. This transgressive anti-moral style of the alt-right, according to Nagle, is their attempt to completely break away from the egalitarian philosophy of the left and christian morality of the right. In Chapter 3, Gramscians Of The Alt-Lite, Nagle focuses on the popularity of the French new right within the Alt-Right circles. The publication and reception of Kill All Normies received a polarizing reception from critics and reviewers, with Vice,4 New York, 56 and New Republic 7 publishing positive book reviews, whereas outlets such as The Daily Beast, CounterPunch, and the new socialist criticized Nagle's description of campus activity. A review by The Daily Beast said the book suffered from a negligent search and noted the claim that part of the book was plagiarized. Nagle and her publisher denied the allegations. Columnist Ross Dout of the New York Times praised Nagle's portrait of the online cultural war, and Times columnist said Kill All Normies captured this phenomenon. Novelist George Saunders has listed Kill All Normies as one of his ten favorite books helping him in the current political moment. The episode of The Fusion Networks Trumpland series directed by Leighton Woodhouse was based on the book.

The revolutionaries extracted from will not be able to change the world until they change the popular culture, Antonio Gramsci, Italian Marxist philosopher of the 1920s. Astonishingly, modern socialists embrace this idea, as do the alt-right. In Kill All Normies, Angela Nagle explores the internet's deepest and darkest subcultures to see how the far-right has revived cultural wars and helped Trump win the 2016 presidential election. Why are so many Internet users against liberal democracy? Did political correctness push them away from civilized political debate? And how did irony become one of the most dangerous weapons in online propaganda? The Economist's Open Future asked her to answer five questions in about 100 words each. Then there is an excerpt from the book. Economist: Who are the armies and why do some people want to kill them? Angela Nagle: Basically they are normal people with average tastes, opinions, political views, news sources and so on. When people get so far down the rabbit hole of obscure online political subcultures and forums it becomes impossible to relate to or explain things to a norm that is also seen as partly to blame for the problems of the world because of their ignorant unenlightened state. In other cases, the term is used to describe a socially well-adjusted rarely online person observed very online closed. That doesn't mean as a genuine call to kill the majority, of course, it's more like a radical political style slogan you could associate with Primal Scream's Kill All the Hippies or Philip K Dick Kill All the Others or Kill a Cop in Your Head. Economist: Liberalism inherently tolerates its detractors. However, is online culture so virulent, does it undermine the viability of liberalism? Ms. Nagle: Spend some time on Twitter or looking at YouTube comments, and you'll find it hard to maintain faith in liberal ideals of enlightenment for long. The reality of what we like when we got the freedom to say something that we like is actually very ugly. Public discourse has never been so idiotic, cruel, irrational and utterly meaningless in my life as it is now. The point of culture of war has taken us to actually war between two irreconcilable parties, and each side wants peace that the other would rather die than accept. When you get to this point, I'm not sure that a liberal public sphere is possible anymore. Those who advocate it tend to be genuinely motivated by the belief that their ideas will prevail in these circumstances. But liberalism is extremely weak right now, and I think much stronger ideologies are likely to trample it in the coming years. The Economist: Can the restrictive nature of political correctness inadvertently alienate people from progressive politics? Mrs. Nagle: No serious man can deny that he at this point, if they're honest. Many are attracted to progressive politics because to see that the world is unequal and unfair, and they want a better wage or education or health care. But they quickly learned that it wasn't enough. In order not to be cleared they need to learn an increasingly complex and strange set of correct positions that they must hold on a number of issues and they must continue to walk carefully and scaryly on eggshells to avoid the call. No humor or intellectual research is any longer possible in this environment. Think of any progressive intellect of any value of the last century and try to imagine how they survive today. They will just be cleaned up. They would have to dissent on some issue, and it wouldn't be tolerated. Economist: How did the far-right use irony to spread transgressive ideas? Do the extreme left do something like that, and if so, how? (And if not, why not?) Ms. Nagle: Irony and transgression have been aesthetic tools mostly used by the political left for a long time, of course they have been ever present since 1968. I write in a book about how the right has long dominated the noble kind of conservatism, and that pro-Trump right-wing youth politics marked a break from that. It took the liberal cultural mainstream and the left by surprise. Suddenly, when Trump was elected, liberal or left-wing journalists tried to catch up and understand what was ironic and what was real. Punks, for example, used the swastika ironically in the 1970s, and many of these groups became part of the progressive canon, but when the alt-right and various pro-Trump online subcultures appeared with a similar style, it was hard to see which flirtations with fascism were ironic. Economist: It often seems that cultural wars are driven by young people with weakened economic prospects and an inability to find a sexual partner. Is this a problem that can be solved through politics or do liberals just need to discover a new tone? Ms. Nagle: One of the darkest products of the sexual revolution is that you have a generation of young people brought up on very grim pornography and capable of being like the Marquis de Sade in a virtual or imagined world, but in the real world they have less agency, less human contact, fewer prospects and less share in their community and society than ever before. You have an unprecedented level of celibacy and childlessness too among millennials, including women. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to have a sane or conscientious conversation about it because of the way heated wars have become online, but the long-term social consequences that apply to men and women will certainly be very significant as millennials get older. I think there are economic solutions for some of the but it also requires major cultural change at the moment. Young people should be able to have families, a home and some kind of work stability. We Are We restore the dignity of ordinary people. Relentless competitive individualism applies to the romantic and private sphere, and it is deeply anti-social. Ultimately though, the appearance of all this is really about demographics and race. Although I have been guilty of this myself in the past, I would now warn that these issues need to be addressed before diving straight into psycho-sexual interpretations. , and with great seriousness, shared by a huge number of liberals on the Internet, wanting to show their love for the first black president, thrilled to be a part of what felt like a positive mass-cultural moment. After George W. Bush, who led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and confused educated people with his southern style, his regular gaffs and bushisms, a sense of shame among American liberals was captured by books such as Michael Moore's Stupid White Men.In sharply contrasted Obama was articulate, sophisticated, erudite and cosmopolitan. In the media the spectacle of his election Oprah wept, Beyonce sang and crowds of young, adoring fans rejoiced. Even some of the icy hearts of those far to the left of the Democratic Party were temporarily melted away in what felt like a massive outpouring of positivity and hope, an egalitarian dream realized. Hillary Clinton tried to replicate that formula in 2016 by dancing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, re-preparing Beyonce, assuring listeners of her penchant for hot sauce and attracting feminist celebrities such as Lena Dunham with the slogan I'm with her. Instead, however, it has become a source of comedy and ridicule among large online audiences from across the political spectrum. When she solemnly denounced the new right-wing internet-era movement as part of Trump's basket of regrets, the massive online rows of her comments collectively erupted in memes, taunts and celebrations. How did we get away from those serious days of broadcasting through the mainstream media, where are we now? This book covers this period in terms of internet culture and subcultures, tracking the online culture wars that raged below the line and below the radar of mainstream media throughout the period over feminism, sexuality, gender identity, , freedom of speech and political correctness. This was in contrast to the cultural wars of the 1960s or 1990s, in which, as a rule, older than the age cohort of moral and cultural conservatives fought against a wave of cultural secularization and liberalism among young people. This online reaction has been able to mobilize the strange avant-garde of teenage gamers, alias swastikas placing anime lovers, ironic South Park anti-feminist pranksters, nerd-chasers and meme trolls, whose dark humour and love of transgression for their own sake overshadowed the knowledge of which political views were really held and what they said were for lulz. What seemed to keep them all together in their obscurity was a love of mocking the seriousness and moral self-image of what felt like a tired liberal intellectual conformity running right through from creating liberal politics to more bellicose bodies of new sensibility from the wacky corners of Tumblr to campus politics. During this period we can also see the death of what is left of the sensitivity of mass culture, which is still the mainstream media arena and the mainstream sense of culture and the public. The triumph of the Trumpians was also a victory in the war against this mainstream media, which is being held in disrespect by many average voters and the strange irony of laden internet subcultures on the right and left, which equally set themselves apart from this hated mainstream. It's a career disaster now to signal your left for being clueless as a basic bitch, normie or member of the corrupt mainstream media anyway. Instead, we see the internet the emergence of a new kind of anti- establishment sensibility expressing itself in the form of DIY culture memes and user-generated content that cyber-utopian true believers have been evangelizing about for years, but didn't imagine taking on this particular political form.Compare the first election won by Obama, in which social media devotees reproduced the iconic but official blue-red stylized stencil portrait of the new president with HOPE printed on the bottom, a portrait created by artist Shepard Fairey and approved by the official Obama campaign, to tear ahead an irreverent mainstream-baffling meme culture during the last race in which Bernie Dank , with the mainstream media desperately trying to catch up with the subculture in a joking style consistent with two emerging anti-establishment waves of the right and left. Writers such as Manuel Castels and numerous commentators on Wired magazine have told us about the advent of a network society in which old hierarchical models of business and culture will be replaced by the wisdom of crowds, a swarm, a hive mind, civic journalism, and user-generated content. They got their wish, but it's not exactly the utopian vision they were hoping for. As the old media dies, the gatekeepers of cultural sensibilities and etiquette have been toppled, the notions of popular taste maintained by a small creative class are now constantly outpacing Online content from obscure sources, and culture industry consumers have been replaced by constantly online, instant content content 2016 can be remembered as the year when mainstream media died over formal politics. A thousand Trump memes of Pepe blossomed, and a stronger-than-life twitter-troll who showed open hostility to the mainstream media and to both party establishments, took the White House without them. [...] The once obscure challenge from the culture on the left stemming from a Tumblr-style campus-based identity politics reached its peak during a period in which everything from eating noodles to reading Shakespeare was declared problematic, and even the most mundane acts of misogynist and . While taboos and anti-new ideologies are pooping in the dark corners of the anonymous internet, the de-anonymized social media platform, where most young people are now developing their political ideas for the first time, have become a panoptica in which people have lived in fear of surveillance with the eagle-eyed of the offended organizer of public disgrace. At the height of his power, a terrible call, no matter how insignificant the transgression or how well-intentioned the criminal is, can destroy your reputation, your work or your life. The specific incarnations of the online left and right that exist today are undoubtedly the product of this strange period of ultra puritanism. These obscure online political endeavors have become formative for a generation, and have influenced basic feelings and even language. The hysterical liberal appeal has created a breeding ground for an online response of irreverent ridicule and anti-PC, typical of charismatic figures such as . But after weeping wolf all these years, urging everyone from saccharine to pop star Justin Trudeau to white supremacy, and anyone who wasn't sexist with her, the real wolf eventually arrived, in the form of an openly white nationalist alt-right who hid among an online army of ironic joke trolls. When this happened, no one knew who to take literally more, including many of those in the middle of this new online right themselves. The alt-light figures who became celebrities during this period have made their careers exposing the absurdity of online identity politics and culture to lightly cast claims of , racism, capable, fatphobia, and so on. However, offline, only one side saw their guy take the presidency of the United States, and only one party has in their midst a faux-ironic Sieg Heil greeting, an open white segregation and truly hate-filled, sometimes murderous, misogynist and racist. Before the overtly racist alt-right were widely known, the more mainstream alt-light greatly flattered him, gave him glowing recordings of ups in Breitbart and elsewhere, had its representatives on their YouTube shows and promoted them on social media. However, when Milo's sudden career burst occurred they didn't return the benefit, the benefit, I think there may be a setting of precedent for a future in which playfully transgressive alt-light unwittingly play useful idiots for those with much more serious political goals. If this dark, anti-Semitic, racially segregated ideology grows in the coming years, with their vision of a future that will require violence, those who have made the right attractive will have to take responsibility for playing their role.______Excerpted from Kill All the Normies: Online Culture Wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the Alt-Right.
