Even prior to the two major events she mentions.

But yeah, she's right, the media helped make the monster and half-fawning, half-pearl-clutching profiles make everything worse

There is one thing though, I can't help but think the alt-right isn't just some hateful ~ internet phenomenon ~

it basically branded the old school white supremacist shit in a "fun new way" that appeals to younger people too imo

yeah, i just think a lot about youth fueling other fascists movements in the past, and the art and myths behind it

Social media also allows children to experiment with extremism anonymously and without consequence. Very troubling aspect IMO.

Social media anonymity shields extremists from social feedback, lack of face-to-face shields them from their own conscience.
