Lifestyle feminism ushered in the notion that there could be as many versions of feminism as there were women. Suddenly the politics was being slowly removed from feminism. And the assumption prevailed that no matter what a woman’s politics, be she conservative or liberal, she too could fit feminism into her existing lifestyle. Obviously this way of thinking has made feminism more acceptable because its underlying assumption is that women can be feminists without fundamentally challenging and changing themselves or the culture.

I wanna hire an evil advisor so bad. I want to pay some gay-coded little man to creep around my house saying ominous things and smirking to himself and punctuating every sentence with an evil little laugh while I pretend to be totally oblivious. And of course I ignore his evil advice, but I always have an excuse as to why, and he unconvincingly pretends to be okay with it, but later that night I hear him having an absolute meltdown in his room until he comes up with a new evil plan and bursts into a musical number that ends with maniacal laughter which continues for about 10 minutes

Kill All Normies by Angela Nagle
“The rise of Milo, Trump and the alt-right are not evidence of the return of the conservatism, but instead of the absolute hegemony of the culture of non-conformism, self-expression, transgression and irreverence for its own sake – an aesthetic that suits those who believe in nothing but the liberation of the individual and the id, whether they’re on the left or the right. The principle-free idea of counterculture did not go away; it has just become the style of the new right.”
Finished the audiobook version of Angela Nagle's Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the Alt-Right. First of all, I appreciated the investigation into the development of the alt-right from a journalistic perspective. Much like Jesus and John Wayne, the author weaves together disparate figures, organization, and themes into a coherent narrative.
I am not an expert on this topic but I think it suffers from its narrow point of view. Nagle's thesis, as I understand it, is that the alt-right developed 1) as a reactionary backlash to Tumblr identity politics and 2) to appropriate the social capital of counterculture hipness. This feel truncated, probably by necessity.
One of the things that frustrates me most about Nagle's thesis is that she calls for the end of counterculture at large. The mere existence of the aforementioned social capital of hipness being appropriated by fascists is enough to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Hasn't counterculture been the cradle of queer liberation movements? Of the rejection of white supremacy? If not the cradle, then certainly nurtures and expanded in these environments. Counterculture broadens our imaginations and give us alternative pictures of life.
Nagle also seems to be preoccupied with creating a left that acts in a way that will guard against reactionary backlash from the right. I don't really have to say it but, eschewing neopronouns will not stop the right from attacking the left. This kind of mindset gives leftists the go-ahead to leave behind our most vulnerable.
I have some more quibbles, like her assertion that brown, Muslim, male protestors are given more leeway than white ones (I mean, have you seen what we let white men get away with?) but I don't feel the need to get much into them. Overall, I admire the examination of the evolution and tactics of the alt-right, but struggled with many of her conclusions.
