So much of the alt-right grew out of online geek culture (GG is a good example).
Ten years ago I would not have predicted that geek culture would plunge the world into political chaos.

-
Which I guess makes sense b/c it's a group of ppl who feel like outsiders but are in fact quite privileged (white, male, str8).
-
And we all know what happens when you make white str8 men feel even slightly disenfranchised.
-
A layer the media has not picked up on is the gamification of the alt-right. It is a game played for nihilistic pleasure.
-
Every woman, POC, queer, trans person intimidated - every social justice space 'infiltrated' - scores points for the nerd nazis.
-
Geek culture was perfect breeding ground for this. Like geeks intensely nostalgize the media culture of their youths, so too the altright
-
It became easy to like a nostalgia for media culture to a nostalgia for nationalist culture. Both are reactions to a rapidly changing world.
-
Geek culture is also an intensely male-centric space (despite or perhaps bc of it's slightly effeminate stature in the wider culture).

Thinking there's this giant overarching "Geek" world rather than splintered individual sub-interests is stupid.
