>You might think you know the full story of the so-called alt-right, known for their venomous racism and virulent anti-feminism. But a new documentary is shedding light on what it says is one of the most surprising roots of the movement: Sexual frustration.
>Author Angela Nagle spent more than a year exploring the online origins of the current "alt-right" movement, which she says included communities of single men looking for advice on “picking up” women. She said many of these so-called pick-up artists argued that feminism was part of what made attracting women so difficult.
> “I think what happened ... with millennials essentially, who, you know, came of age online and became political online, [is that] they came into contact with these kind of ultra [politically correct] highly sensitive cultures online, which actually allowed them to be quite funny, you know, and to kind of poke fun at the earnestness of these kind of ultra-sensitive language policing online cultures,” Nagle explained to “Nightline.”
>In a way, the self-described "alt-right" also gained momentum from its enemies on the left, Nagle said.
>“You also had a culture that was on the cultural left, which was about gender fluidity and kind of taking the cultural gains of the left to the next stage,” Nagle said in the documentary. “These kind of online environments, you could say, of the left were both kind of ultra-sensitive and incredibly cruel and inclined towards sort of quite mob like behavior [that] people needed [in order] to show that they were virtuous.”
>The "alt-right" also appeared to receive an enormous injection of energy after Trump’s election.
>“And when Donald Trump is nasty ... [he] is a magnificent internet troll,” Tolito said in the documentary. “He is an expert at trafficking and outrage and committing outrage and being outraged himself.”
But "Alt-Right" isn't accurate at all. The book largely focuses on Sup Forums and even then it's less Sup Forums and more Sup Forums-/r9k/.
I guess the TV show will just be;
>lol everyone we don't like iz virgins
Shame, because it's one of the only normie media accounts that has ever gotten Sup Forums somewhat right.
Dominic Powell
It's right though
Nicholas Davis
>is one of the most surprising roots of the movement: Sexual frustration.
Isn't that also why the whole LGBT people wanted to have rights?
Andrew Myers
>some roastie spends a few hours on Sup Forums over the course of a few months or whatever >this somehow makes her qualified to make a documentary with any meaningful authority You just know she couldn't help herself and made some absolutely transparent posts that were met with walls of "fuck off roastie, what the fuck are you even doing here" replies.
Nolan Watson
She's 1000% right, though. Jesus Christ, you pathetic faggots have been "tfw no girlfriend" posting for years.
Not to mention the shitshow that is r9k and how their autism has bled into the rest of the site.
Camden Hughes
That's the angle ABC went for, but if you watch the promo vid, you can see they actually put blame on authoritarian tactics of the left too as pushing away people
This is something that the left has realised for years now
>Exiting the Vampire Castle >‘Left-wing’ Twitter can often be a miserable, dispiriting zone. Earlier this year, there were some high-profile twitterstorms, in which particular left-identifying figures were ‘called out’ and condemned. What these figures had said was sometimes objectionable; but nevertheless, the way in which they were personally vilified and hounded left a horrible residue: the stench of bad conscience and witch-hunting moralism. The reason I didn’t speak out on any of these incidents, I’m ashamed to say, was fear. The bullies were in another part of the playground. I didn’t want to attract their attention to me. thenorthstar.info/?p=11299
Andrew Cooper
She's right. When she's discussing Sup Forums.
But the documentary is clearly taking two different portions of the book and two different "factions" and falsely equating them so that they can use the "lol virgin" ad hominem and apply it broadly to anyone who isn't a screeching liberal autist.

But "tfw no girlfriend" has nothing to do with sex though
Parker Watson
Sexual frustration isn't an illegitimate justification for wanting to break social taboos. Nagle is actually pretty woke about how the sexual revolution negatively affected men by creating a steep sexual hierarchy. I hope the documentary is similarly empathetic
Julian James
>most surprising roots of the movement: Sexual frustration. >most surprising roots of the movement >most surprising >surprising lmao
Bentley Carter
>falsely equating them The alt-right and the tumblrite twitter faggots are two sides of the same coin, though. Yes, everyone that disagrees with you is a soyboy cuck, I get it. Take your pills and go to sleep. It has everything to do with sexual frustration. What, you think people who 'tfw no girlfriend' post are out there slaying pussy in casual encounters?
Daniel Foster
wtf does killing normies have to do with le alt right, they are normies themselves
Colton Gonzalez
>The "alt-right" also appeared to receive an enormous injection of energy after Trump’s election. lol, this is the point where the MSM took notice. How retarded is this boomer bitch?
Aiden Roberts

They want a relationship, not sex
Thomas Gomez
Imagine taking Matt seriously and not being able to take a joke lmao
Eli Morales
She's right, but the answer to the problem isn't just "lol look at these loser virgins." It's actually a much deeper societal problem relating to how the death of monogamy created an aristocratic model of sex
Colton Wright
This is true, though. Your autism was mainly confined to image boards, forums, twitch, and in game chats before the election.
Carson Morris
>It's actually a much deeper societal problem relating to how the death of monogamy created an aristocratic model of sex Which is directly linked to capitalism.
Sebastian Howard
>It's a "the other Chapo boys subtly shit on Matt for being a hicklib episode"
oh wait that's every episode
Asher Clark
I didn't get a 'lol look at these loser virgins' feel from this at all, though. Sure, she makes the point about sexual frustration but it's a valid point. It honestly is surprisingly balanced from what I can tell and shares the blame with some equanimity.
Liam Rodriguez
Nothing has changed. Only now the msm covers us
Ryder Roberts
It's more linked to the invention of birth control and the social acceptance of women in the workforce (although the latter reason is linked to capitalism in a roundabout way)
Kevin Reed
>Which is directly linked to capitalism. >MONOGAMY IS A CAPITALIST CONSTRUCT TO ENSURE THE SUCCESS OF THE BOURGEOIS FAMILY UNIT >ACKCHOALLY, NO, CAPITALISM WILL DEVOUR MONOGAMY AS IT DEVOURED ALL FORMS OF PRE-CAPITALIST SOCIAL ORGANISATION

Levi Davis
You really can't equate capitalism as a core concept with the late-stage capitalism we're experiencing today. It is a mutation.
Landon Scott
>normies is a term used by the alt right wtf?
Carter Campbell
Now they are spinning Elliot Rodger as alt right. Load of shit, dropped
Jace Wright
>You really can't equate capitalism as a core concept with the late-stage capitalism we're experiencing today. It is a mutation.

Jeremiah Anderson
>social shaming is the whole argument I don't even have to check to know a woman is behind this idiocy...
Ryan James
Again, late-stage capitalism is not capitalism. And what we have now isn't even late-stage capitalism, really, we've pretty much advanced beyond that. We're managerial capitalism on steroids.
Also >if you criticize X, you belong to Y No, retard.
Leo Edwards
>The alt-right and the tumblrite twitter faggots are two sides of the same coin, though.
Aside from being wrong, it's not even related to the discussion.
Christopher Johnson
I'm not wrong, though. You guys whine about the left, they whine about the right. It's a serpent devouring its own tail. To someone that is pretty apolitical and doesn't give half a shit about identity politics, you're literally two retards shouting incoherently with the same annoying voice.
Isaac Richardson

Jayden Cooper
>We're managerial capitalism on steroids.
Jackson Lee
I'm married to my second wife and have 3 of my own kids. I'm staunchly right wing. I wasted 5 minutes of my life watching this trash journalism. I think she spent all her time on /r9k/. Nobody on Sup Forums refers to people as normies except the odd visitor. The board has a massive range of nationalities from all walks of life.
Charles Lee
It's normalfag, from faggot. Anybody using normie instead of normalfag is a normalfag themselves.
Landon Edwards
>giving someone shit for a criticism of capitalism This is America, not Mao's China. Kind of ironic that you would try to shame/silence/equate any voiced opposition to the status quo as being somehow unpatriotic. It's almost like you've become what you say you hate the most.
Aiden Foster

What's there to "silence"? You're even more politically-irrelevant than lolbertarians
Nathaniel Baker
You are wrong.
>You guys
We're not the Alt-Right.
Also;
>You whine about the right, they whine about the left
Atheists whine about Christians and vice versa. One of them is right, one of them is wrong.
>To somone disinterested...
Your disinterest in the subject doesn't have any affect on the reality of the subject.
>you're literally two retards shouting incoherently with the same annoying voice.
To a snail the theory of relativity is irrelevant.
Again, you're autistic and stupid. You're on the same level as a child who covers his eyes and thinks the world disappears.
AND...this is ignoring the fact that this has nothing to do with the fucking subject - just you with unsolicited, unrelated rants about your (non) beliefs.
Hudson Reyes

Aiden Brown
Well, you can still use sex to at least describe why the "two sides of the same coin" argument is retarded. Short answer: cognitive dissonance. Full answer: lol u reject open couple because ur so insecure ur wife wouldn't come back home. You think you're winning the argument but you're making a strawman and an ass out of yourself at the same time. You can apply that logic to work, politics, society in general, anything really. This is why the two-siders are completely utterly imbecile.
Leo Miller

You'd be surprised how many adults use Sup Forums. I come here and /ck/ for a laugh. I like to visit Sup Forums to see whats going on around the world
Nicholas Sanders
You can explain why open relationships suck in a way that even the most sexually "open" people will understand. The problem isn't that people no longer understand monogamy, it's that people are too lazy and scared to commit.
Isaac Kelly
>I like to visit Sup Forums to see whats going on around the world
Henry Kelly

You're so smart.
Oh...no...Wait.

Yes. Of course. If you dont' subscribe to lunatic fringe politics and radical feminism you are DEFINITELY Alt-Right.
I forgot - Everyone That Doesn't Agree With My Fringe Politics Is Alt-Right. Checked. Thanks.

Also notice how you can never actually demonstrate how long you've been here?

The thing is, "SJW" is a meaningless buzzword now. TLJ has a female admiral that happens to have purple hair, or a chubby asian? Oh no, that's so SJW, SJWs had ruined muh Star Wars!! Just going on about "SJWs" exposes you as a hysteric reactionary. Whether it's Sup Forums-style "fuck jews and niggers" or /r/TD-style "we're totally not racist, check out this based black dude leaving the Democrat plantation" doesn't make that much of a difference tbqh
Nathan Martin

It's strange. It's almost like...you're new? From reddit?
