Breaking Down the Alt-right: How Outspoken Extremes Shape Our Culture

Some highlights…

1. "The most outspoken members of society shape opinions and shift the center significantly."

2. "Twitter is often a cesspool of stupidity, yet it's also where the most opinionated gather to shape culture, art, politics, and philosophy."

3. "Our current commentary culture encourages edgy takes supported by selective evidence, yet fails to challenge the deeper complexities of truth."

4. "The alt-right's fixation on certain idols as a response to the perceived instability of the Symbolic order in our postmodern era is a clinging to these idols as a way to anchor their sense of self in a world where meaning seems increasingly fragmented and uncertain."

5. "They've mistaken the inversion of values for their transcendence, and in doing so, have fallen prey to the very nihilism they claim to despise."
