In chapter three, "Gramscians of the Alt-Lite", Nagle focuses on the popularity of the French New Right within the circles of the Alt-Right. This 'transgressive anti-moral style' of the Alt-Right, according to Nagle, is their attempt to completely break away from the egalitarian philosophy of the Left and the Christian morality of the Right. Nagle frames this adoption of transgression by the political right, in relation to the concept of moral transgression, which can be traced to the eighteenth century figures of Marquis De Sade, The Surrealists, Friedrich Nietzsche, Punk subculture, and contemporaneously in the 1990s 'male rampage films' like American Psycho and Fight Club. In the second chapter, titled "The Online Politics of Transgression", Nagle observes how political transgression historically is associated with the political Left, specifically that of the New Left, which was adopted by the Alt-Right. These forums, organized on the basis of anonymity, developed a subculture among the users that combined extremely transgressive and dark humor with a deeply misogynistic and racist attitude. Many of these movements began on image-based online forums such as 4chan and 8chan. This internet-based activism was immediately embraced by much of mainstream liberalism without any rigorous analysis or appraisal of the organizational structure and limitations of these internet-based movements, which all resulted in consistent failure and eventual collapse. Nagle introduces the 2010s as a period in which "cyber utopianism" began to emerge with the rise of internet-based social activism such as the Arab Spring, Occupy movement, WikiLeaks, adbusters, and Anonymous which were based on decentralized leadership and online organization. Nagle presents her work as an attempt to map the online culture wars that occurred in the early 2010s and how it resulted in the development of alt-right which played a major role in the election of Donald Trump. Nagle offers a left-wing critique of contemporary liberalism, arguing that it helped create the alt-right movement. It describes the development of internet culture, the nature of political correctness, the alt-right and the election of Donald Trump. The future is HTML5 - and at least in that Chrome is still leading the field.Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the Alt-Right is a 2017 non-fiction book by Angela Nagle published by Zero Books. Technical wise, Javascript ES drafts are of no importance. The only chance for people who want to customize a browser will be Otter, when they are using QTWebengine and are supporting Chrome add-ons or some closed source software like Centbrowser, Slimjet or Vivaldi. Chrome has never delivered, Firefox is not going to deliver very soon. For a person who wants to customize the browser to the bone, both Chrome and FF are not delivering. Under the hood features are not everything. As it is just a Chrome rip off from the UI, and once Servo comes it will be even more like Chrome, almost no UI customization anymore, no userchrome.css options anymore, add-ons crippled thanks to only webextensions available with some special api created by Mozilla to make it a little bit more feature rich, but still tons less than XUL add-ons are right now.
