  • Feminist Cyber-Resistance to Digital Violence: Surviving Gamergate
    DEBATS · Annual Review, 5 · 2020 — 287 / 302 DOI: http://doi.org/10.28939/iam.debats-en.2020-17 ISSN 2530-898X (print) ISSN 2530-8262 (electronic) Feminist Cyber-resistance to Digital Violence: Surviving Gamergate Macarena Hanash Martínez UNIVERSIDAD PABLO OLAVIDE [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0003-3859-920X Received: 15/09/2019 Accepted: 20/03/2020 ABSTRACT Women in cyberspace do not escape patriarchal violence and are subject to strict social control exercised through technological means. Cyber-violence especially affects women with an explicitly feminist presence in virtual spaces. Their participation in and advocacy of feminist values are considered a transgression of the patriarchal mandate, which seeks to exclude women from public spaces or, failing that, to marginalise them. That is why they are the targets of grave intimidation, harassment and threats. At the same time, digital networks have spawned a plethora of spaces for women’s collective, political and social action. Thus, online activity has played a key role in the resurgence and revitalisation of feminist communities and debates. This paper analyses the projects launched by Zoë Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian, two of the main targets of the Gamergate movement. We will study: (1) Crash Override and Speak Up & Stay Safe(r), a helpline and a resource platform for cyber-violence victims, respectively; (2) feminist cyber-resistance projects, within the framework of cyber-feminism and the current paradigm shift in the culture of protest and feminist organisation. Keywords: cyber-feminism, cyber-violence, manosphere, Gamergate. Corresponding author: Macarena Hanash Martínez. Departamento de Economía, Métodos Cuantitativos e Historia Económica.

  • Meet the Men Giving up on Women They Don’T Want Girlfriends, They Don’T Want Children — They Don’T Even Want to Have Sex
    U.K. – November 15, 2015 Meet the men giving up on women They don’t want girlfriends, they don’t want children — they don’t even want to have sex. The secretive MGTOW movement is a fast-growing online community of disillusioned males. But are they misogynists or misunderstood? MARTIN DAUBNEY tracks some of them down Part I David Sherratt, 18, is a chemistry student at Cardiff University. He has never had a girlfriend and isn’t planning on finding one. Not now. Not ever. “Hook-up sex is too risky for words,” he says. “Girls can wake up the next day and claim you raped them. I’m genuinely too scared to go near a woman — just in case. At university, I’m made to feel like a rapist all the time… I’ve never had a relationship and I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon. It’s just too dangerous.” Neither does he see the point of marriage, since half of them end in divorce. “Marriage is like playing Russian roulette with three bullets in the cylinder” he says firmly. “I’ve never been interested in having kids since I learnt about the lack of fathers’ rights. The whole system is stacked against men. Our generation has been screwed over by feminism. People might say it’s sad, but I’m checking out.” It would be all too easy to scoff at David’s comments and dismiss him as just another angry teenager. But an increasingly militant anti-lad culture in our universities, complete with sexual-consent classes, is causing young men such as David great concern.

  • Violence and Restraint Within Antifa: a View from the United States by Nigel Copsey and Samuel Merrill
    PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 14, Issue 6 Violence and Restraint within Antifa: A View from the United States by Nigel Copsey and Samuel Merrill Abstract In recent months recurrent calls have been made by conservative right-wing politicians to designate Antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” in the United States. Fixated on the spectacle of its Black Bloc tactics they have equated Antifa, what is essentially an ad-hoc, non-hierarchical, geographically dispersed social movement comprised of local autonomous activist groups, with organized violent extremists. And yet, the evidence for such an equation has been mostly limited to a handful of instances that usually bare the hallmarks of political exaggeration or are alternatively attributable to individuals loosely associated with the Antifa movement. Why is this so? How do militant anti-fascists in the US understand violence and exercise restraint in their use of it? This article seeks an answer to these questions based on interviews with activists from Portland’s Rose City Antifa, one of the United States’ most well-known Antifa groups, and an analysis of a collection of the group’s Tweets. It reveals that Antifa exercises considerable restraint, internally and externally, with regards to both the literal and rhetorical use of violence within its street and digital activism. In turn it calls upon others to exercise reciprocal levels of restraint by ceasing their labelling of Antifa as a “domestic terrorist” organization. Keywords: Antifa, anti-fascism, restraint, violence, terrorism, street activism, digital activism I would say if we describe violence as being like, you know, a Richard Spencer face punch, I would say based on simply being a fascist, all fascists deserve, at a minimum, a Richard Spencer face punch.[1] I don’t think that people necessarily will go off the handle.

    Corresponding Republics: Letter Writing and Patriot Organizing in the Atlantic Revolutions, circa 1760-1792 Nathan Perl-Rosenthal Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Nathan Perl-Rosenthal All rights reserved ABSTRACT Corresponding Republics: Letter Writing and Patriot Organizing in the Atlantic Revolutions, circa 1760-1792 Nathan Perl-Rosenthal “Corresponding Republics” is a study of how letter writing practices shaped elite political organizing during the early years of the American, Dutch and French Revolutions of the late eighteenth century. The heart of the project is a study of revolutionary leaders’ correspondence and epistolary practices. Letters were the lifeblood of all early modern politics—the means to share information, develop strategies and resolve internecine disputes. This was particularly true of the eighteenth-century Atlantic patriot parties, which all faced the challenge of building cohesive movements in the fragmented political landscape of the old regime. Yet even though most studies of revolutionary politics make heavy use of private correspondence, nobody had yet examined the ways in which patriots’ reliance on private letters and networks shaped the revolutions’ broader political cultures. “Corresponding Republics” argues that the distinctive old regime private correspondence practices of patriots in each region persisted into the revolutionary period. These practices, which were crucial to the elaboration of patriots’ political subjectivity, helped produce different kinds of political networks and contributed to significant divergences among the three revolutions. Though by no means the whole explanation for the three revolutions’ different courses, epistolary practices are an essential and untold part of that story.

  • The Silicon Ideology
    The Silicon Ideology Josephine Armistead May 18, 2016 Abstract Out of the technological cenes of the world has come a new, strange variant of fascism– namely, neo-reaion, or “NRx”. I shall here proⅵde a critique of this ideology and an aempt at understanding of its origins, its taics, and how it may be defeated. Content Warnings This article contains discussions of fascism, Nazism, white supremacy, and the Holocaust among other topics. Keywords 1 Introduction A king? You want a king? Boy, nobody wants a king! Ignatius, are you sure you’re OK? A Confederacy of Dunces John Kennedy Toole When one learns I am studying a new emergence of fascism in Europe and North America, one might be tempted to believe I am referring to the larger end of the rise of right-wing populist parties and candidacies that may be considered “fascist”, such as the candidacy of Donald Trump and the rise of the United Kingdom Independence Par (UKIP), Le Pen’s Front national (FN), Alternatⅳe für Deutschland (AfD), and Golden Dawn among others. However, in this essay, I discuss a more narrow group: specifically, an ideology that has emerged in the past decade or so inside the capitals of the tech world and which is growing at an alarming rate, often (but not always) allied with those parties and candidacies I have mentioned above: neo-reaionaries and what is known as the “alt- right”. Largely, this group has escaped serious criticism by radicals for its nature as a small, internet-based ideology–not enough people, it seems, take it seriously.

  • Patreon Bars Anti-Feminist for Racist Speech, Inciting Revolt
    Patreon Bars Anti-Feminist for Racist Speech, Inciting Revolt By Nellie Bowles Dec. 24, 2018 Sam Harris, the polemical atheist neuroscientist known for his popular podcast “Waking Up,” was making tens of thousands of dollars a month from fans who donated to him through Patreon, a crowdfunding site. That stopped this month. On Dec. 6, Patreon kicked the anti-feminist polemic Carl Benjamin, who works under the name Sargon of Akkad, off its site for using racist language on YouTube. That same week, it removed the right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos a day after he opened an account. The moves prompted a revolt. Mr. Harris, citing worries about censorship, announced that he would leave Patreon. He was joined in protest by about half a dozen other prominent members of the site, including the conservative-leaning psychologist Jordan Peterson and the libertarian podcaster Dave Rubin, who also earn money from Patreon. “These recent expulsions seem more readily explained by political bias,” Mr. Harris wrote to his followers. The furor is a microcosm of the conflicts that are playing out across the internet as technology platforms try to limit the spread of hateful speech. This year, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have all drawn increasingly stark lines around what constitutes hate speech and are figuring out how to enforce those rules. In August, for example, Apple, Google and Facebook banned the right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for violating hate speech rules, setting off a cascading effect. The perfect gift for everyone on your list. Gift subscriptions to The Times. Starting at $25.

  • Nationalism, Populism and Global Social Media
    NATIONALISM, POPULISM AND GLOBAL SOCIAL MEDIA ROBERTO ADRIANI University of Milan – Heritage House [email protected] – [email protected] Abstract: The paper aims to investigate if and how social media platforms made users change their political opinions, particularly regarding the hot topic: nationalism vs. globalism. Social networks allow people to talk to each other all over the world, creating a non-stop global conversation. These kinds of media are global by nature and we are used to seeing them as one of the many consequences of globalization. In spite of this feature a paradoxical effect has occurred, as today social media are the privileged plat- forms for nationalist organizations, promoting the idea of the nation (or the return to) as the best way to fight globalisation. The paper, through a narrative approach, investi- gates nationalism on social media and its possible effects. The paper assesses scientific articles from international literature in English. The review also covers journalistic arti- cles, reporting data, insights or simple news regarding the subject. In this case, the pa- per includes only articles coming from mainstream publications. Trying to pursue this objective, the review excludes articles not clearly reporting the name of the publication, author and date. In addition to this, all these articles are checked, making sure they have been cited or linked by other mainstream media. Keywords: social media, disintermediation, polarization, nationalism, populism. INTRODUCTION There is a general consensus about the fact that globalisa- tion means having stronger and interdependent relationships between organisations and people who are part of this system.

  • Free Speech, Safe Spaces, and Teaching in the Current US Political Climate Jaime Weida
    Back to Volume Nine Contents Free Speech, Safe Spaces, and Teaching in the Current US Political Climate Jaime Weida Abstract The designation of “safe spaces” within the university classroom and campus as a whole has recently received a great deal of attention and criticism. Opponents of these spaces claim that they are a danger to free speech and critical academic thought in the university, and that they treat students like children rather than competent adults. In the current “Trump era,” it has become common for many people, including prominent public figures, to cite free speech as a justification for hate speech and repressive ideologies. I contend there is a war on free speech in the United States within and without the university and that the seeming promotion of free speech is actually a way to silence free speech and the discourses of marginalized groups. By designating our classroom as safe spaces, especially in diverse urban university settings, we are actually preserving our students’ free speech as well as our own academic freedom. I believe that education is a regulation of the process of coming to share in the social consciousness; and that the adjustment of individual activity on the basis of this social consciousness is the only sure method of social reconstruction. —John Dewey, My Pedagogic Creed Copyright American Association of University Professors, 2018 AAUP Journal of Academic Freedom 2 Volume Nine In the United States, we are currently living in a historical moment during which many people, including students and instructors, may share a desire for thoughtful “social reconstruction.” In January 2017, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the forty-fifth president of the United States.
