I really like this author and learned a lot from her. She sheds important light on online trollers that grew out of 4chan and ended up aligned with the alt-right. She has a few central arguments: 1) that transgression is the foremost value of channers and they picked this up from modernist critics (who were usually on the left); 2) that the virulent anti-feminism of channers grew as a reaction to something called "Tumblr feminism," which started on line and then jumped to university campuses; and 3) that 4channers are "beta" males who feel sexually insecure in a post-sexual liberation world where the rewards have gone disproportionately to the top "alpha" males. She also opens with a broadside against the digital utopians who might persist in believing that online "crowds" are a force for the good -- that, she says, is so 2010.But this book is a quickie book, rushed out so quickly that no one bothered to proofread it. The author doesn't even take the time to tell you the name of books that she quotes from at length. This quick-and-dirty approach might be a wise publishing decision, given how quickly online trends come and go. But this is a book after all and it's not unfair to bring to it greater expectations than one would to a magazine or an online post.So, on the positive side, I like the author because she was a strong point of view. She advises progressives to abandon "transgression," which is simply a-moralism; she implies feminism needs to get over the trigger warning/safe space BS; and she believes that a progressive politics needs to put less emphasis on identity and identitarian politics. I don't agree with her in all respects but I appreciate her willingness to take stands.From the fairly casual style and lack of any footnotes or bibliography -- and, indeed, from her willingness to take stands -- I took her to be a journalist or freelance critic. So I was surprised to learn that she's an academic. Learning that made me wish she'd displayed some of the virtues of academic writing. For instance, she doesn't tell us anything about the research on which she bases her observations. One assumes she spent a lot of time on social media, Tumblr, and perhaps IRC channels, in reddit forums, or whatever. But she doesn't bother to share that with us. I think it matters. For instance, what do we actually know about these guys (including the assumptions that they are all guys)? Who are they and where are they? The author is Irish but an awful lot of this book is about the US. Why not address the limitations (and potentials) of this sort of limited online research?A yet bigger problem for me is that, despite her interest in the alt-right, she really drops the ball on the issue of race. She focuses instead on the gender side of this problem because that's what she knows best. I suspect this is because she feels much more confident around gender issues. She clearly finds it easier to criticize Tumblr feminism and the influence of Judith Butler than she does the other much maligned "social justice warriors" concerned with mass incarceration, extrajudicial killing of black people, intractable racial disparities, institutional violence, etc. But haven't they played a big part in campus "anti-free speech" politics on university campuses today? And haven't they too raised the hackles of the newly emboldened on (and off) line racists? And why are young women attracted to these alt-right groups?Finally, geography and culture matter. The author makes little of the fact that she is Irish and writing in Ireland. It's as if in writing about online groups, history and specificity disappear. But, as someone reading in the US, I've got to say: history matters. Is Tumblr feminism universal? Did the alt-right play a part in Ireland's recent elections? Does "free speech" mean the same thing on an Irish campus as it does in the US?But it's really the race issue that rubs me the wrong way. Nagle can't expect anyone to think she's come to terms with the alt-right based predominantly on her interest in its anti-feminism.In the end, I find Nagle strong, intelligent and nervy, but her interpretations in the end don't address the marriage of 4chan and the alt-right in the past few years in a way that satisfies me. For that, she needs to go deeper, wider -- and to wander offline. And she needs to admit what she can and cannot know using the methods she employs.
There is a decent summary of history here, but the organization is haphazard and Nagle writes in an annoyingly imprecise tone. As others have said, it's obviously thrown together, and those who take these issues seriously may be better off waiting for a more serious tome. Those who are simply looking to understand what 4chan is and what to make of various memes may find it useful.I wouldn't begrudge Nagle for throwing together a short and shaggy book on such an important topic if her analysis were more trenchant. Instead, it veers between half-baked and impossible. For example, while Nagle repeatedly describes the 4chan culture wars as making Trump's candidacy possible, but also repeatedly use articles describing leftist non-supporter of Hillary Clinton as sexist as examples of the extreme "SJW left" that apparently stoked the rise of the alt-right. However, these arguments were overwhelmingly formulated mid to late in the 2016 election cycle or after the election; how can these particular articles be characteristic of the "culture war" that laid the groundwork for that very election? Indeed, Nagle does not seem to understand the variations on the left between "SJW"s and centrist Clinton supporters and black Democratic loyalists (hint: very few of the latter two are gathering on Tumblr). Indeed, Nagle's obvious devotion to segment of the socialist left and her contempt for any other has other strange results: at one point, she excoriates Vice Magazine for publishing an article calling Sanders supporters "brocialists" as if this were as serious an indictment as the magazine's past affiliation with alt-right organizer Gavin McInnes.Aside from the sloppiness of Nagle's examples, her analysis often seems to slip into accepting many of the tenets of the alt-right ideologies she means to analyze. She repeatedly and breezily refers to the 'failing mainstream media", sounding almost like a Trump tweet. And her central thesis is that the contemporary alt-right originates from an online culture war with SJWs, but Nagle's analysis continually describes the SJW side as already-formed and the alt-right as emerging as a reaction to its obvious extremity and injustice. This facile analysis fails to explore how SJW and alt-right cultures may have shaped each other, or how both emerged at roughly the same moment within a particular context and set of tech platforms. And by placing the alt-right in the reactive role, Nagle displaces responsibility--I'm not a fan of SJW call-out culture, but it's implausible to put it in the causal role here. This analysis also passes over the question of how the alt-right draws on traditional forms of populism, racism, sexism etc., or how reacts of social change unrelated to Tumblr. It's understandable that Nagle can't take on such a task in this little book, but by elevating her narrow focus--the role of online cultures in sharing the alt-right--into the explanatory framework for the origin of the alt-right, Nagle commits herself to a superficial and implausible thesis.
Honestly a great starting point for trying to really understand the parts of the internet a lot of us have spent the past several years trying to pretend doesn't exist. This book is brief and like several reviews have said, probably could have stood one more editing pass, but I personally didn't mind because I can tell it's going to send me towards more research. It has felt nigh impossible over the past few years to keep up with break neck speed of the internet as it has morphed into more and more of a demon day by day, and Nagle is the first person I've found who really starts to put the whole web together in a coherent way, to demonstrate how seemingly disparate parts of the internet pollinate and overlap. By the end, the book put me in a perplexingly existential place, making me reconsider how I engage with the internet as a whole on a political level but also on a basic moral one. If you ascribe to the Mark Fisher "Vampire's Castle" view of the politics of the internet, you already have the sense that the culture of the web as a whole has become toxic, not just in the chauvinistic, openly sexist corners of the web. I know Nagle herself is pretty disdainful towards South Park but I thought the 20th season was the first work of fiction that truly tried to capture the strangeness of the internet, and the terrible people we can become when we feel properly shrouded in anonymity. This book is the first work of nonfiction that does the same to me, even better than Jon Ronson's "So You've Been Publicly Shamed", which I also enjoyed. A book I'd highly recommend, especially to any Grey Wolves currently reading this.
