How 4chan and 8chan fuel white nationalism, inspire violence, and infect politics.
The internet has transformed the ways we think and act, and by consequence, our politics. The most impactful recent political movements on the far left and right started with massive online collectives of teenagers. Strangely, both movements began on the same website: an anime imageboard called 4chan.org. It Came from Something Awful is the fascinating and bizarre story of sites like 4chan and 8chan and their profound effect on youth counterculture.
Dale Beran has observed the anonymous messageboard community’s shifting activities and interests since the beginning. Sites like 4chan and 8chan are microcosms of the internet itself―simultaneously at the vanguard of contemporary culture, politics, comedy and language, and a new low for all of the above. They were the original meme machines, mostly frequented by socially awkward and disenfranchised young men in search of a place to be alone together.
During the recession of the late 2000’s, the memes became political. 4chan was the online hub of a leftist hacker collective known as Anonymous and a prominent supporter of the Occupy Wall Street movement. But within a few short years, the site’s ideology spun on its axis; it became the birthplace and breeding ground of the alt-right. In It Came from Something Awful, Beran uses his insider’s knowledge and natural storytelling ability to chronicle 4chan’s strange journey from creating rage-comics to inciting riots to―according to some―memeing Donald Trump into the White House.

Crikey! But can they do an encore?!! If anything, it’s even more horrifying that “meme” is a verb. What a shame that the oxygen thieves on the far left and right don’t “meme” themselves out of existence?
September 17th, 2019
What a joke of a book, I’d ask for my money back- but well.. yeah..
September 17th, 2019
More Trump Derangement Syndrome in action? Who’d a thunk it?
September 17th, 2019
You have to admire the ability of those suffering TDS to maintain their energy for two years. A lot of them count on folks having short memories. Or is it a matter of tell a lie often enough people start believing it as the truth.
September 17th, 2019
So now 4chan is so powerful it got the president elected? Wow! Easily disproven…unless the President is a closet brony…hmmm?
September 17th, 2019
If your aren’t part of the flotsam and jetsam of humanity I can report while leaning left Dale is indeed reporting on a happening which would have contributed in some smallish but historically significant way. How much measured against Bannon, Milo, or Ann Coulter etc for example is debatable though.
September 18th, 2019
The consistency of anti-Trump people to think Trump voters were tricked, is sort of odd.
September 18th, 2019
Ha ha ha ha! and 2020 will see him there again. Got boxes of tissues saved up for all my liberal co-workers.
September 18th, 2019
:-D it’s vastly amusing how many ways they fantasize in their refusal to acceopt that the man simply beat Hillary!
September 18th, 2019
Now I’ve heard it all. If only the Democrat lawmakers would believe this, maybe they wouldn’t be so in favor of lowering the voting age.
…and this coming on the heels of the Democrat Party’s unanimously passed resolution which jettisons Christian morals, traditional values and American patriotism?!
Where was GQQGLE?
September 18th, 2019
I thought it was supposed to be the “alt-right” that was obsessed with ridiculous conspiracy theories.
September 18th, 2019
I just stopped by here to read the comments, and was not disappointed
The whining by the right wing diaper wearing incels proves this book not only hit a nerve but it pretty much spot on
September 18th, 2019
This book is totally insulting to the American people. Why would anyone elect a criminal to office ie Hillary Clinton? Take 5 minutes research and Donald Trump is a thousand times better than Hillary Clinton for America. Donald Trump may not be perfect but this is ridiculous. The left dwells in their own reality of make-believe. The globalist have control of the media and the print media and that is why they are screeching the sky is falling because their crooked Presidential nominee didn’t get into office. Tough. Plan on that happening again in 2020.
September 18th, 2019
Thanks for the share, reallife! I just realized a few days ago Something Awful was still around, bizarre! I thought reddit and the chans had swallowed their oxygen years ago. Anyone who spent time there 15-20 years ago KNEW this country would elect a zero-experienced, trust-funded, phony game-show host eventually. Glad we got it out of our system now while I’m still around to enjoy the recovery!
September 18th, 2019
Everybody, quigley assume the recovery position!

This guy is a walking Y2K out of date joke.
As of Sept/2019:
Unity@Last
Gone are:
Race riots
Coast to coast ANTIFA
School walkouts
Weekly statue take downs
Campus antifree speech riots
Blockades to Trump rallies
Daily flag burnings
Occupy
MeToo
BlackLivesMatter
Iraq War
Oil wars
& the MILLIONS of Trump haters that were in the streets

Hmmm - arrogant criminal bitch that has used contacts and position for 50 years or so to step on anyone that gets in her way and has absolutely nothing to differentiate her from the corrupt politicians in DC already …. Or reasonably successful businessman, that has a checkered past but actually has something the people want - to reduce the self-serving functionaries in DC down to a manageable level and to try to get our economy and society back on-track?
Face it - people today are so used to being lied to by all levels of politicians and indoctrinated for generations that everything we have done in the past is bad. Time for a reset.
September 23rd, 2019
I’m shocked there aren’t more of these TDS sufferers walking around with brain sprains from all the mental gymnastics they do.
September 27th, 2019
The Democrats and Left still don’t get it.
Trump was the answer to the corruption, lies, back room deals and the political swamp in Congress.
This book is like so many from the Left. Hate filled, short on facts, innuendos, half-truths and out right lies.
I’m glad that i didn’t buy this book. I borrowed it. Saved me some money.
Honestly, if you read one Trump/Hate book, you read them all. This one is no different.

Hate speeching 63 million Trump voters as racists and Nazis brought this;
No more: MILLIONS of Trump haters protesting in the streets!
Race riots
School walkouts
Weekly statue riots
Campus anti-free speech riots
Nationwide ANTIFA
Road blockades @ Trump rallies
Daily flag burnings
Occupy
PoorMeToo
BlackLivesMatter
Iraq War
Oil wars

Peace and Unity AT LAST!

OK,
I’ll admit that I have not read (heard) the book yet, but the premise alone optimizes the idiocy of the left. Are they actually STUPID enough to believe that a single website with a bunch of pimply faced, sex starved teenagers can sway a political race?
This is how delusional some of these people are. They will make any excuse for why Hillary lost when it’s really simple. Regardless of how you feel about Trump, Hillary is more of a war-mongering, hypocritical demon than any of the Bush’s ever dreamed of being. The American people are FINALLY starting to wise up and realize that it doesn’t matter which way you vote, you pretty much get the same thing and we’ll take ANYTHING other than what we’ve been getting.

Hilarious. This book isn’t for you. It’s for the hundreds of millions that barely understand the internet, have never heard of the chans or reddit, and need to be educated up to a further level about darker workings of the web heretofore incomprehensible to them. The premise–we all seem to agree–is doubtful. It isn’t the websites that gave rise to the nutjob class of latent facists willing to believe anything the media tells them; they were always there! The book panders in a direction I’m not comfortable with either. Strange things have always lurked in our collective subconscious, that had for a while gone suppressed, kind of like carbon deposits sequestered in the forests and ice-sheets. I guess they had to come out eventually.
