The Radicalization of Angry Young White Men

Tucker Carlson: You’re being replaced and there’s nothing you could do about it. So shut up!

Miller: These young men were radicalized not by religious clerics or cult leaders, but by message-board messiahs who cloak their radical ideology in memes. The 18-year-old who carried out the latest white supremacist mass murder left no doubt that’s exactly what led him to do it. He wrote in his 180-page manifesto that the idea for the attack came online: “Browsing /pol/ one day I saw a short gif of a man walking into a building and shooting a shotgun through a dark hallway.” That man was the perpetrator of the massacre at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, which he livestreamed on Facebook.

This replacement ideology has flourished in online forums like 8Chan and Gab and Parler where racist blog boys post dehumanizing memes that they often pretend are jokes when called on it.

This ironic pose has another benefit. It gives their racist views the cover they need to seep into mainstream political discourse. I saw this up close in 2016 when Donald Trump quote-tweeted an online troll named “@WhiteGenocideTM” to attack my boss, Jeb Bush. “White genocide,” like Great Replacement, posits that the white race is being exterminated by interracial marriages, like that of Jeb and his white Columba. These bigots claim that white people who participate in this genocide are “race traitors” or “cuckolds” who like to imagine their spouses getting banged by foreigners. Now these online Nazis do seem to spend a lot of time thinking about black and brown dicks.
