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.

I owe you big time
I owe Angela Nagle big time for this book. Her book proved as vital research for me and I can’t thank her enough! Excellent insight into recent internet history and how it impacts greater politics.

Short, punchy and to the point
I really enjoyed this audiobook. I have listened to it twice now and enjoyed it as much the second time as I did the first.
It's a concise overview of the online culture wars and the parts of it the bubbled over into the real non-internet analogue world. The pace of the book is quite fast and there is a lot of detail; though books could be written about events and ideas that get brushed past.

Concise and incisive. Will hold your attention
Well written. Uncompromising and insightful.
1st time I've seen "Dks out for Harambe" and "panopticon" in the same chapter.

a bit repetitive at times but very interesting.
i found this book somewhat repetitive and disorganized but it introduces a lot of sobering knowledge into the world of the alt right.

Very interesting
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.

Worst narration ever
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.

Excellent summary
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.

An antidote to political schism
An attempt to crawl from the depressing sludge which is consuming us all. A book to be cited.
