None | Here’s how techno-utopianism decayed into alt-right madness – Alternet.org

'How much do you think tech matters in the rise of not just the alt-right, but Donald Trump?'

'Before even there was a term, the alt-right, feminists and social justice activists were observing that social media was allowing uglier forms of bigotry to flourish. '

'That’s just a really, really shitty and unoriginal way to be rebellious, in addition to being terrifying and disgusting and all the rest of it. '

'But I also wouldn’t want to live in a world where social media were only inhabited by nihilists and trolls and bigots. '

'The Arab Spring was a big marketing event for social media, even as it was a real thing in the real world. '
