Most alt-right trolls are males under the age of 25, so what you’re seeing is a motley reenactment of what would’ve been the most achingly awkward fraternity at whatever college or university you attended. All of these sites are a compendium of stupid in-jokes, viral memes, multimedia from “nerd culture” — a shame, given how awesome that subculture is — and a persistent exploration of what young men can get away with online when they have the opportunity to act anonymously. So: you’ll see a lot of posts (and some images) that are misogynistic, homophobic, racist, anti-Semitic, and so on. The posters posting this content are in a few cases actually committed misogynists, homophobes, racists, and anti-Semites; much more commonly, they’re relatively unsophisticated “kids” — using that term here to denote emotional immaturity rather than chronological age — who are exploring complicated anxieties, angers, and associations they don’t really know how to process yet in any way but the anti-social.
Mind you, they don’t see themselves that way. You will stagger at the arrogance of all these young people who haven’t done anything yet.
Re: A superb explanation of what Alt right Trolls are, a must read thread!
I know how kids are.
I watched one I was looking after, years ago, log into Mirc and start spamming how such and such is gay a "***" or whatever.
Nice kid in person. Was kind of a shock how casually he started trolling, tbh.

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Sidenote: I love seeing leftists getting triggered over places like 4chan. The guy Steve is linking to is so utterly triggered he practically wrote a novel whining about the alt right lol. I'm trying to skim this novel, I came across something funny.
"Q: There are two things you must do if you hope to troll an alt-right troll: (1) prove to them that you’ve infiltrated their “safe spaces” (/pol/, 4chan, and 8chan), and (2) do not, under any circumstances, no matter what they say, allow them to trigger you — which means you must immediately cease contact with the alt-right troll if you find yourself getting emotionally piqued by the interaction. The moment you get emotional — that is, the moment you assign any substantive weight whatsoever to anything the troll says — you’re toast."
^^This guy is definitely not following rule #2 lol.
Also this part:
"If you sense here some empathy for these jerks, this is why: they’re fundamentally unhappy young people whose subtle indoctrination into a cult is explainable by virtue of their juvenile anxiety, confusion, and pathological inability to assimilate into normative human culture. "
^^Literally applies to both the alt right and left. Love that the author doesn't see it lol. Love it.

How would you explain alt left trolls? You certainly aren't unintelligent enough to claim they don't exist, so I am curious as to if you have any explanations.

^^Love seeing the triggerdom. It's like seeing a robot malfunction. Love that they see the slapping down of the points in the article as deflections. Good stuff.
