About this listen

Recent years have seen a revival of the heated culture wars of the 1990s, but this time its battleground is the Internet. On one side the alt-right ranges from the once obscure neo-reactionary and white separatist movements, to geeky subcultures like 4chan, to more mainstream manifestations such as the Trump-supporting gay libertarian Milo Yiannopolous.

On the other side, a culture of struggle sessions and virtue signaling lurks behind a therapeutic language of trigger warnings and safe spaces. The feminist side of the online culture wars has its equally geeky subcultures right through to its mainstream expression.

Kill All Normies explores some of the cultural genealogies and past parallels of these styles and subcultures, drawing from transgressive styles of 60s libertinism and conservative movements, to make the case for a rejection of the perpetual cultural turn.

The narrator was grand, don't know what the other reviewers are on about there. As for the author, Nagle is one of the best thinkers around, she absolutely nailed this. Hope she's got more books coming

Great stuff

I’m only 30mins in but I might have to give the book back for refund.
It’s the worst narration I’ve ever heard.
It’s clear that she’s never seen the script before reading it aloud and it’s actually following it.
She stumbles over words, has strange intonation, stresses words in a way that runs counter to the sense of what she’s reading, mispronounces words and there are bits where you can hear that she’s had to record that individual word again because she is struggling with it.

As a result it’s incredibly hard to follow the thrust of the book as the author intended.

It’s SHOCKINGLY bad and very jarring.

Worst narration ever

A well researched and enjoyably presented look into the sources of the alt right. Looking forward to listening through a second time to pick up on things that I might have missed first time around.

Excellent summary

Found this a fascinating insight into an area I don't really understand and feel I can no longer ignore.
Also narrator's style and cadence really suited the content.

Very interesting

I've spent basically my whole life online, and have seen the events that this book describes first hand. The author takes these formative experiences, and explains and justifies them as part of a wider narrative of cultural change. Thee internet isn't stupid or niche anymore, it's the central landscape that our debates take place on, and it is incredibly refreshing to see a philosopher take this seriously. Yes, the discussions of memes and drama might seem stupid. But this is the reality of the cultural landscape the western world lives within, and it's refreshing to see someone take the irony seriously for once.

must read for veterans of the culture wars
