[Playlist] The Alt-Right Playbook

The alt-right playbook is an insightful video series which I also consider valuable teaching tool for understanding the alt-right. It was extraordinarily helpful for me personally in making sense of what’s going on with this group.

For people like me who try to build their worldview upon logic and reasoning rather emotions, it’s very hard for me to relate to the styles of “debate” that appeal to the alt-right. To someone like me, it just makes them look like non-credible fools. But clearly, their networks of idiotic propaganda are appealing to many people. So it makes sense to try to understand how and why it works.

This is the best resource I’ve found for that.

Edit (22-10-2024): The alt-right playbook contains some big oversimplifications and outright misrepresentations of politics. I also don’t like how the tone is also unnecessarily smug. However, it’s still useful for understanding the alt-right’s style of “debate”.
