Is this book really as bad as Veeky Forums tells me it is? It seems to be a fairly articulate critique of transgressive & internet-based politics

Nobody gives a fuck about rotting basement dwellers

Normies are the real winners here

Yea, read the review on Thermidor imo

It's just kind of unremarkable, non-fiction. The writing doesn't need to be good for this kind of thing and, unsurprisingly, it isn't. Read it if you're interested, that's what it it is there for.

It gets a little closer than past attempts to dissect four-chins. Still misses the mark, although I think Veeky Forums would probably buy into it the easiest of any board here. Nagle's perspective is that of the nu-newfag, the post-2014 gamergate bandwagoner. She makes little attempt to reach further back into the past than that.
There are more entertaining papers written on similar subjects. More informative ones, too.

ecks dee

and one more. Google should give you the source if you're interested - it's not a long paper and shows a deeper understanding of Veeky Forums than Nagle.

its boils down to
>everyone is an idiot, everyone but me.

They're not ironic. Most are on welfare, addicted to drugs, a long list of mental illnesses and gender identity crises, and fucked up lives.

They try so hard to be edgy and make their tranny porn fap club inaccessible to others, but the truth still stands. Nobody wants to associate with them in real life. This is the truth.

"haha i'm too cool for normies" gets tiring. You have to see what they're like behind the screen. Even the lowest of normies wouldn't go near them.

Writing about Veeky Forums like you are Steve Irwin observing an ecosystem from the outside as if you are not part of and participant in the development of said ecosystem is always going to result in shoddy work full of glaring peripheral gaps

Richard Spencer called it "some of the best writing on the alt-right he's read". I've got it shipping to my house.

why put effort into a place where transvestites come to hook up? oh wait you live here.

This so much.

Very interesting. Thanks for the read, user.

Veeky Forums is containment for autistic spergs

richard spencer is a fucking tool

the book has some minor factual errors and stuff but it's okay, it wont be of interest to you unless you're on the outside looking in

I'm pretty sure that anybody on this site would tell you that this book is trash.

Can't you search the archives?

Although,
> not being able to list her false base assumptions on your own
Lurk for 10 more years, backwards.

RAMPANT projection here

Haven't yet read the book, but wasn't her aim to analyze the current form of Veeky Forums, precisely the post-2014 variation and how it relates to tumblr?

>Most are on welfare, addicted to drugs, a long list of mental illnesses and gender identity crises, and fucked up lives.

Talk about yourself loser

Just so you know, I'm currently researching/writing the definitive sociohistorical account of Veeky Forums. I've been here on a semi-daily basis since 2008, I'm sure I can do a better job than newfag Nagle

cool, write about me in your blog once its done

She didn't develop anything from her new man of Veeky Forums article, she tapped into a nerve but ultimately it's a shallow analysis of the culture for tut tutting outsiders

write about me too pls
