Award-winning journalist and CNN correspondent Elle Reeve was not surprised by the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. With years of in-depth research and probing interviews under her belt, Reeve was aware of the preoccupations of the online far right and their journey from the computer to QAnon, militias, and racist groups. At the same time, Reeve saw a parallel growth of counterforces, with citizen vigilantes using new tools and tactics to take down the far right. This ongoing battle, long fought mainly on the internet, has spilled out into the real world with greater and greater frequency, culminating in the attempted coup on January 6th. Combining her years of on-the-groundreporting, Reeve clearly illustrates this shocking sweep of violence, where this cultural shift came from, and where it is going. She also introduces us to a shocking but powerful cast of characters, such as the creator of 8chan-an online hub for conspiracies and misogynistic rhetoric-and the white power leader who is still pulling the strings from a prison cell. Uncovering the hidden links between these events and how we can prevent further upheavals of this nature, Black Pill is a necessary read for anysupporter of democracy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Social media and society $z United States. 650 0 $a Social media $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Right-wing extremists $z United States. $9 88635 650 0 $a Radicalization $z United States. 650 0 $a Polarization (Social sciences) $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century. $9 92960 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989- $9 79030 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Fascism & Totalitarianism $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 21st Century $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240521010623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A1C66F0173711EFA068004147ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
