Kill All Normies

Is this book worthwhile or is it just another garbage attempt to explain the ethos of Yea Forums?

Hard pass from me.

It was semi relevant in 2017 but the thing with internet culture is that it changes every 6 months.

If you're a dumb boomer who knows nothing about "Yea Forums" and "alt right"culture then it actually does accurately explain the mind set here, but seeing as you're posting on Yea Forums I'm assuming you know everything in the book and more.

spbp

its shit

I read it out of curiosity and there was nothing obviously objectionable or wrong. It's worthwhile for what it is (intro to chan culture for boomers and detached libs). If anything it gives some of these shits more sympathy than they deserve.
There's no reason for any actual Yea Forums users to read it, there's nothing you don't already know and as sp said it's already out of date. I wouldn't bother.

It did understood and try to illustrate the evolution of certain memes which is really hard for outsiders to notice so that is a plus

yeah, it's weird to read something about Milo or PJW in 2019

Milo is doing sketch comedy now, it's peak boomer comedy and you're doing yourself a disservice by not watching his descent.

I was really excited for it on release since the only other Zero Book publication I had read was Capitalist Realism but it did nothing but disappoint. Just being active on the internet gives you more insight than Nagle displays

we are anonymous does it well, it paints Yea Forums just as people trying to have fun

>or is it just another garbage attempt to explain the ethos of Yea Forums?
Look at it and take a guess.

Read it, more of a theoretical than practical dive into online culture; it’s the philosophical kind of sociology that doesn’t really give anyone any insight into anything useful.
Also, nothing is referenced or cited at all. More than anything, that bothers me for the lack of further reading than academic rigour.

The truth hurts ;_;

why not kill all normalfags?

I want an aspect of a story to reference imageboards, but I cannot decide on whether the character should be an inuit candle maker talking to wax hobbyists on their own dedicated forum or a burmese crawfish farmer shooting the breeze with other connected fishermen on an abandoned facebook page for one of their outboard motor vendors because the moderation of all the other groups included identification and potential tracking and even forfeiture of a fishermen's fickle wages by not merely the local government but increasingly a Chinese developer who sought to purge indigenous fishing from the area over the course of the next couple years for a decade-long development plan for casinos and hotels.

It's better than most attempts to do the same thing
it's still garbage tho
you'd learn more from two weeks of lurking than you would from reading that book

Imagine being excited for something published by Zero Books.

Also, a lot of it was plagiarized. From wikipedia even.

This doesn't take into account the actual 'activism' insofar as that still exists nor does it take into account the right wingers here actively trying to 'redpill' kids.

it covered the activism but doesn't cover redpill right wingers since it's an old book

Its not, and it doesnt expand on anything further than the surface of things.

>the thing with internet culture is that it changes every 6 months.

Very much this.

It's worthless writing about "online culture wars" since they change on a dime. Like the fact the subtitle of the book has Tumblr listed on it; that may have been relevant in 2017, but not 2019. Tumblr went from being one of the giga-behemoths of online culture to a ghost town during that timeframe - that's how malleable the internet is. Entrenched sites with millions upon millions of users rise, peak and all all within the span of a few years. It's something of a minor miracle (or at least oddity) that Yea Forums of all things has persisted; and even that's not quite "persistence", since the site culture changes even here too.

The incel thing is especially dumb because there are barely any of them.

Like yeah, they're awful, but the way people talk you'd think it's this massive social movement - or at least a sizeable minority. But they're such a small and pathetic subset of people that they were even ousted off of /r9k/ and re-congregated on reddit. And their subs aren't exactly booming with people.

So why are we acting like there's this massive contingency of incels lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at the pernicious sex-havers? I'm tired of boogeymen.

I think it depends on what we are talking about when we say incels.
The current time we are living is being regarded by studies as the most lonely generations. And you can literally find a lot of communities on the internet with this people that may show bitterness about it. But yeah the boogeyman of the stereotypical incel that seems like a proto terrorist that thinks its a great injustice that women arent having sex with them is tiny and absurd.
The code word has gained such a vague meaning that it can be thrown to literally anyone who laughs at a woman or claims to be lonely. Its a buzzword.

Because the book was written by a normalfag (and we know that only normalfags say “normie”).

>a book about shitwars between shitposters and brainlets
I remember everyone was shocked that 'Minecraft guide' books started to be a thing. At that very moment Internet finally died.

Imagine telling your grandkids you was participating in mid 2016 memewar and screenshot of your comment got in some book.

jeez louise

Based and true

If you read /pol/ you'd be under the impression that children are being bullied by their parents and doctors into having sex-change surgery, at least a sizeable minority. And you'd think it was such an overwhelming problem that not only hurt the kids involved but also was destroying society at large to such an extent that there was literally no other aspect of human existence that was worth treating critically or optimistically and literally the only valid political project was to write the n-word and the word "honk" on a message board

Sneed and feed

You don't need to strawman /pol/ to make fun of them.

Saying /pol/ is pathologically obsessed with the issue of transgender children to a degree not met by real-world events isn't a strawman, it's in plain sight

What happened to this girl? Did she leave twitter?

She hangs out with Amber from Chapo Trap House and Dasha from Red Scare. They have drunk brunches together and instagram about it (I'm not joking, this is actually a thing)

dang dude that's socialist as heck

Dasha's pretty right wing aside from wanting single-payer health care. Nagle's not all that left-wing either even if she makes fun of Yea Forums

This

>Yeah they sound mean but they're just doing it for teh lulz!!

Attached: 1430412363019.jpg (457x467, 44K)

both Dasha and Amber are very critical of identity politics in general which gets them into a lot of trouble with their potential fanbase. some DSA member made a failed attempt to get Amber ousted from a leadership position she didn't even have by claiming she was ableist against his self-diagnosed aspergers or whatever

she copy/pasted most of her book from neoreactionary magazines written by men

why did he drop off so suddenly?

he is basically a right wing liberal and liberalism is untenable by this point, he only made sense in the transition time when people were still trying to salvage something out of liberalism

Has some pretty good insights even for oldfags and the like. The connections she makes between the '60s leftist movements, the development of critical theory on the left and the modern chan culture, and the adoption of a few key pillars of leftist thoughts from the right is all very interesting stuff that she explains quite clearly. Her motto of "the modern right is gramscian" is pretty on point.
The part where she also analyzes the unique kind of Tumblr degeneracy is also extremly interesting (of which she is extremely critical of, if you're wondering, even more so than Yea Forums desu).

I'd say it's a must for anyone that missed the critical events of the internet culture war and a very good read even for those that witnessed them.

She speaks in an autistic, monotone voice

>dey want to go back to a pagan sect and dat is very sad
>forced npc laugh

No, it's a strawman. /pol/ hates transgenders but they hate Jews, gays, coloureds and muslims much more. That is even noticeable on this board.

It came out that he defended pedophilia and he was dropped by all his sponsors and supporters.

you're laying it on a little thick for those 50 cents...

I like chapo (especially @cushbomb) but this is weak. Splintering and self-loathing are definitely left-wing not right-wing things.

>splintering
hitler
>self-loathing
That gay jew who wrote Sex and the Character

chapo's critiques are weak because they tend to boil people down into "types" and then critique the type rather than the person. this makes them sound like they have the person fully sussed out; we've seen this type before, let's mock then them. once you understand what they're doing their critique becomes almost algorithmic and it just doesn't hold up

this was most apparent when they talked about jordan peterson. when he was gaining popularity it was something they didn't care about but hesitantly had to talk about so the boiled him down to one of their types; namely the logical dork obsessed with rationalism and logical fallacies. jordan peterson is nothing like that, and in a later episode they had to actually comment on him based on what he had actually said which showed their insights to be the same mundane shit you hear everywhere else. this was all very transparent and insightful as to how they think. it obliterated my ability to take them seriously

also the "logic dork" doesn't really exist as much nowadays, it's like they never moved on from something awful

chapo trap house episode except sarin gas rises from vents in the floor

specially when their audience very often fit those "types", except instead of coping with it by being salty like /pol/ they cope with it with ironical self-hatred

>tfw no autistic mommywife to tuck me in and read me Yea Forums shitposts in bed

Second one sounds based i’d read that

copying most of your first published book from wikipedia is unironically chad tier

Nagle got pretty much erased after her border security article.
People were literally calling her a Strasserist, lmao.

No other website offers the same level of free speech. Yea Forums has zero competition.

>criticizing the objection to blatant child abuse
wew

This desu fuck jannies and niggers

Cumtown is so much funnier than these fags it's not even close

matt is so utterly alcohol-poisoned he cannot be killed

pretty based

i think she was already cancelled before for slightly criticizing Tumblr, that's probably why she doubled down and wrote it

>If you read /pol/ you'd be under the impression that children are being bullied by their parents and doctors into having sex-change surgery

Yes, impression. Faggot.

What a post

Basically, some female brainlet lurked /pol/ and #frogtwitter DMs and actually bought into the wank that they were influential and helped elect Trump or something on the metaphysical realm.
Then she wrote a book that was entirely out of date by the time of publishing. Alt right twitter had moved on to esoteric hitlerism by this point.

>Yea Forums ethos
Everyone who has tried writing a piece on Yea Forums only ended up writing shit you can find on Encyclopedia Drammatica. Nothing new or insightful has ever been said. It's only fodder for normies who think it's some "secret l33t haxor den."

Sounds like the setup to a DFW short story

>tfw you think the book is absolute trash but agree with Nagle 100% on open borders so you defend her constantly

>got assigned a passage from this for class
Now THIS is epic

Chapo doesn't critique most people though; they just mock them and break down whatever self-evidently idiotic take was churned out by Ross Douthat or Rod Dreher that week. The show works when they're dunking on these National Review goons and xan'd out libs like Neera Tanden. It's less successful when substantive questions are raised and Matt and Amber are forced to do all the heavy lifting because they're the only two members who actually fucking read.

Outside of Felix's riffs the only person truly worth listening to on the show is Matt. Everyone is inundated with self-hating irony, but I think Matt keeps a genuine glint of hope

>hitlerdubs wasted on a moron who probably donates

People always shit on tradition without considering why it evolved. They take some retarded feminist/commie slogan like 'marriage is the subjugation of women' and consider this as adequate excuse to deconstruct this ancient institution. Now we're entering a situation where vast numbers of young men are unable to reproduce which can only result in revolutionary fervor.

tell me you are joking

CHAD HAREMS

>It was semi relevant in 2017 but the thing with internet culture is that it changes every 6 months

this, trying to grasp any changes observable through the internet has to be done in an extremely short timeframe, liquid modernity just does not allow for social phenomena to be defined once and then never reiterated again

How can leftists actually be pro open borders in the worlds current state? Or does the sad brown people pics work just as well on them?

because they need chattle who depend on the government

I'm conflicted. It's written by a woman so it's probably shit but all the right people are rating it one star on Goodreads.

>About Yea Forums
>Written by a woman
It's just 100 pages saying that she wishes that Yea Forums browsers would just have sex (with her).

People throw these icons to the garbage online all the time, youtube anti-feminism is in decline too, it's already YEARS old, ideally the internet starts a conversation every 5 minutes.

>>Matt keeps a genuine glint of hope
>there is hope. believe in yourself and believe in everyone around you

This is retarded because there are still plenty of really popular liberal YpuTube voices like Sargon, Tim Pool, and Kyle Kulinski, the latter two of which have been growing quite rapidly in the last uear despite both having been around since the early 2010s. I say this not to defend Milo or his ideology, but simply for the sale of accuracy. What caused Milo's career to fizzle out was the who pedophilia thing with Drunken Peasants and Joe Rogen, not the fact that suddenly after 350 years liberalism died out overnight.

amber is an actual academic socialist idiot

>revolutionary fervor

I've never seen anyone explicate what this actually means. After all, Japan is a society further down that road and there's no revolution, young men just obsess about other things.

Seems really similar to the roman-degeneracy-decline meme, no connection to anything material that has happened or theory of what might happen.

>kulinski
He is an unironic socialist, his input is completely worthless. The other two are better than fine, but Kyle is not worth listening to at all. Kyle only ever bends the knee.
It's more that he defended the priests who raped him which supposedly caused him to be gay in later life. This, along with a point he made along the lines of "some teens mature mentally faster than others so theoretically a 16 year old could consent," was twisted into him defending pedos.

OUT OUT OUT

>Sargon, Tim Pool
they both play "le enlightened moderate man" and have a certain style that 12yo kids like and keeps them going. Milo was too openly ideological and cuckservative
>Kulinski
didn't he and Cenk from the young turks had a thing to clean up the Democratic party of corruption, but got taken down by the intersectional mafia because Cenk wrote Incel stuff 10 years ago? At the end of the day they are too left wing which means they'll have to bow down to the intersectional mafia sooner or later

i kind of like Jimmy Dore he is funny when taking down his fellow leftists, but at the end of the day there's no escape to the left

>academic
lol, imagine believing in academics in the current year+3

Who is this Yea Forums you speak of?

and she’s openly and stridently anti-idpol

>Sargon

Is going to get properly fucked over the next couple months. He's an MEP candidate for UKIP, which has just completed a hard turn to the right and is going to implode over the course of the campaign as Farage gobbles up their remaining voters for his Brexit party. "UKIP candidate is retarded" is a classic British political story, and given the amount of jokey/stupid streams Carl's done over the years, he is a huge hostage to fortune.

He's likely to become frontpage news for some very cringe stuff in the backcatalogue, and I'd suggest not calling him "liberal" in not-retarded company right now.

is she really or is she sort-of? if she were she would have been cancelled, the Chapo retards already have toned down their stuff a lot

Just sounds like disgusting mutt cope. Btw class is an identity

sargon has lost every single debate he ever had, had a big issue with the alt-right that basically turned every autist on the internet against him, and already had a few real life political failures

he is cringy as fuck for a long time, but he keeps his audience through all of this, so it seems his audience like him despite all this. i doubt a UKIP failure will cause him too much issue with his audience

What I'm saying is there's a big chance he's going to enter the normie sphere of awareness, at least in the UK. Mainstream attention will end the absurd "classical liberal" definition game, and ruin his reputation on the broader internet. This will lead to other ecelebs supplanting him - viewers can ignore niche internet mockery, but don't like being made universally made fun of by facebook meme groups and their mother, all well-supplied with the best arguments

Being libertarian-lite is a hard turn to the right?
I agree that it's going down the drain, just look at battenburg in this clip:
youtube.com/watch?v=4WdppFVoxzU
He beat Destiny, and outed him for the neoliberal shill that he is, not a huge victory but still.
Why would normies hate him?

Pick some retarded old thing sargon has said, I'm sure you agree there are dozens that are appropriate for a memestreamer but the media will treat as disturbing for a candidate for elected office.

It's researched and presented by farage or a tory attack-dog (tory strategy is, if ukip looks really bad, we can tie farage personally to it). The guardian, bbc, sky, the i, go very hard. The times picks up the story and presents another retarded comment, the telegraph references it trying to boost farage, it makes it to the sun and mirror sidebar as DIGUSTANG SCANDUL, LBC hosts mock every caller who defends him as a moron. The only media I can imagine supporting sargon, just because of who he is as an internet personality not the specific retardism, is the spectator and maybe the express. Sargon is a weak link in a wounded animal of a political party.

I'm afraid on most stuff, this is how public opinion is formed in the UK, the opinion of print and radio journalists. People listen to and believe these people, and unless it's an important issue, the right wing media figures pick their battles.

It's difficult to compare. For one Asians are a bit more docile in general and Japanese society is so old that the depressed young are politically neutered. Thing is it's not that people will necessarily storm the streets, the effect is more likely to broaden the acceptance of radical political ideas, which is something that is already happening and interestingly by the left instictually associated with incels. Another thing is that the power of females in such a society will increase, men would become more deferential which is also something we can observe although of course many things play into these sorts of cultural changes.

ok that's novel to me at least but seems false. any fule kno the growth of radicalism is down to slowing growth as the not-west catches up

Elaborate.

sorry lad i'm going to sleep

Ok. But I suspect it would've been some commie nonsense anyway. Third world migration creates radicalism, not growing wealth in the third world and if you don't know that you don't know much.

+1

both term refer to the same thing, but when normies use "normie" it doesn't refer to themselves
but on Yea Forums(nel) "normie" is the same as "normalfag"

the title is weird because even when Yea Forums used the word "normie" (which was years ago), the phrase was always "NORMIES GET OUT REEEEE".
I've never seen the phrase "kill all normies" in any context outside of this book

Name a single relevant left politician that supports open borders

She got ousted from the left for positing that open borders doesn't necessarily benefit the working class

>This will lead to other ecelebs supplanting him - viewers can ignore niche internet mockery, but don't like being made universally made fun of by facebook meme groups and their mother, all well-supplied with the best arguments
i mean this didn't work with Drumpf, i don't see him going down from this as long as he keeps his internet edge. doesn't matter how cringe he is

he probably just gets kicked out of the party at some point which will make him get more 12yo views

you may be technically right that they don't outright support it or want it, but we all know what kind of ideological game they play to fight against the right wing, the problem is that they have taken it too far and now they have to avoid completely any talk of borders or it makes them look terrible in front of the intersectional coalition

see Bernie for example, he is having troubles with that and it will get worse as the democratic primaries get closer

Sargon is antifragile, literal non issues here.

>but the thing with internet culture is that it changes every 6 months
Not really

>Pick some retarded old thing sargon has said
they already tried to take him out with the fake outrage about telling "i wouldn't even rape you" to a member or parliament, it didn't work

i mean people in his audience like him even more when media tries to take him out with fake outrage. And as i said sargon has never won a single debate he ever had on the internet, so it doesn't seem like being cringy is a problem to his audience of 12yos

Bernie openly and clearly tells people that he doesn't support open borders and his base likes him for it. Cnn is not the people.

and he will get obliterated in the primaries because of it
