Antifa Turkeesian posted:These pnw nazis are really scary to me, as it seems like they are successful at seizing power situationally in ways the state can’t or won’t stop. It seems like a place where they could subvert the rule of law and break the monopoly on violence. I keep thinking about that manifesto by a state senator about making a new country out of cascadia where they kill all the men who aren’t fascists and enslave all the women. The people who aren't fascists are also armed and not interested in being killed.

Bedshaped posted:Seems kind of similar to Pim Tool in that you position yourself left-adjacent at the beginnings of your alt-right career? She's a genuine socialist or at least a social democrat, but she shares with the nazis their sense that racial justice or acknowledgment of things like rape culture are inherently ridiculous and unserious, which makes her weak to their rhetoric and she ends up defending them and turning on pretty much the entire left. It's the Amber Frost situation, basically. Her book is genuinely good analysis of how the internet and social media of the end of history era produced a left that could only ever speak in cultural terms and that left economy and politics out of discussion, which in turn produced a far right that could only do the same in the opposite direction. I at least can't deny that some of the early growth of what became the far right was in response to twitter or tumblr bullying teens to suicide for making Steven Universe fan art with skinny characters or taking concepts like privilege in weird directions like critiques of how "adult privilege" oppresses children, simply because that was the only direction kids could go in if they felt something was wrong with the world, as there was basically no space for marxist critique before the very end of the Obama days. Of course, the whole thing gets muddy because 4chan continually made up the things they then complained about, and some of the things Nagle quotes with people identifying as dragons or posting huge lists of romantic orientations are clearly fake. Where her poo poo gets weird and bad is in the supposition that if there were a robust proper left in America that allowed its members to be manly and make rude jokes, all these pathetic nazi boys would find it satisfying and therefore not shoot up their schools or vote for Trump. And there's definitely some bigotry in her rejection of multiple modes of gender identification and in her supposition that race isn't really that important in the United States today--maybe more than some.

A big problem is that Nagle is one of those extremely online types who isn't actually involved with real people so she looks at the Tumblr stereotype and assume it's "the left" instead of what it is, which is just some extremely online type. Another is that there's a bunch of lovely, also mostly online "leftists" who are sympathetic to her and gave her way more oxygen and platform than was ever wise, including Chap Trap House. Eventually her poo poo became too obvious to notice and now people are cheerfully pretending they weren't attacking people for calling out her fascist-friendly poo poo from day one.

I will say for the record that she seems like a genuine, earnest useful idiot to me, as does Amber Frost. She has done way stupider poo poo, like debating sargon and defending him as a good liberal during the q and a afterward, with good liberal not meant as an insult.

She’s not pro-racism but she thinks most nazis can be rehabilitated into leftists and that 4chan stuff is just youthful attempts at being shocking for want of a better alternative. She is not receptive to any part of the nazi program but would be receptive to 4chan people wanting to be part of a leftist coalition as long as they could make racist jokes and said they weren’t nazis any more. I don’t know what you call that, exactly.

The Post Millennial, the fash rag that Brutalist posted above, is a much clearer example of strasserism, with a roster of "leftists" who dress and speak like Vice reporters but who report exclusively on how blm has gone too far and how trans people are degenerates that must be killed. Nagle is like economically left but socially liberal in how she takes people at their word so long as they're reactionaries--gullible as an identity, as someone said above.

i don't read it, but i remember scanning stupidpol about a year ago and seeing a "leftist" writer/editor for them fishing around, posting links to stories and trying to build an audience among the "anti-woke left," specifically in that sub. and being like "yeah, there are conservatives too but we're all about having a debate."

I remember thinking at the time that there was a much better version of Nagle's argument given the evidence she used. Like if you take Antifa Turkeesian's summary, and fix Nagle's argument from "the far right became the far right because wacky tumblrites pushed them too far" to "the new far right's politics developed as they did because their social and cultural reference points were weirdos from tumblr" you get something that looks far more plausible.

I assumed that anyone having to repeatedly remind a large portion of their own sub not to launder alt-right talking points would eventually recognize a pattern, but they could easily just be huge morons.
