CHAPTER

Evolution from Irony to Ideology in Online Communities

The chapter explores the transformation of ironic content on certain websites into genuine beliefs, leading to the adoption of race science, white nationalism, and racism within online communities. It delves into the influence of books like The Bell Curve by Charles Murray on individuals like Matt Parrott, who viewed high IQ as a basis for superiority. The chapter also discusses the rise of the alt-right movement, the involvement of figures like Richard Spencer, and the role of online trolls in shaping political narratives through memes and internet campaigns.
