Short summary: garbage humans being garbage. Full review to come.
I was honestly just bored and not engaged. It’s not anything new so far that I haven’t already learned so unfortunately the book is already a bit dated and surface level compared to other sources. Which I fear may be the case for a lot of the Pluto Press books I picked up (and still have to read) back in 2021/2022

Good read, a little dated now and as such could definitely benefit from a new edition but certainly a decent introduction from a liberal point of view

Good survey into the alt-right
This book serves as a pretty good survey into the history of the alt-right between the mid-90’s and 2017. I wish it went a little more in-depth about how the white supremacy movement was started, but that’s not really what this book was about. Overall, would recommend.

An in-depth, interesting read written by someone who clearly knows what they're talking about and has done their research! Very gripping writing, though the phrasing and explanations could be a bit more refined in places. A great look into the alt-right and their history in America.
Graphic: Racial slurs
Moderate: Ableism, Homophobia, Xenophobia, Antisemitism, Islamophobia, Mass/school shootings, Murder
Minor: Gun violence, Pedophilia
This book is a better cited and more thorough account of the alt-right than the widely promoted _Kill All Normies_. It breaks down the alt-right into multiple groups and includes succinct explanations of Neoreactionaries, the manosphere, and 4chan and their relationship to the 2016 election and the contemporary conservative movement. It includes interviews with named individuals who identify with the alt-right, and through them, challenges the alt-right's own narrative about itself, debunking the group's self-representation as primarily young, "hip" and "counter-cultural."
