KILL THE INTERNET BOOK CLUB THIGSN! MEMES! (Patreon)

Hi! Sweet peas, insolent sons of bitches in search of the light. I have news!

1. BOOK

Kill All Normies by Angela Nagle will be our next book! It's a slim volume from 2017 tracking into the migration of the culture war from the internet to THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

& THEN THE WORRRLLLLDDDD!!!!!!!!!

It was a useful read for me back in 2021, featured at the end of my Bo Burnham v. Jeff Bezos essay , and I have been meaning to revisit it. I have been thinking a lot about gamergate, I have been thinking a lot about online politics and modes of discourse, and this should be a timely reminder of the recent years of cultural inferno that we have recently survived.

I'm also feeling FIRED THE FUCK UP about big video at the moment (have had some breakthroughs, first two hours looking up to my standards) so I think something shorter but still substantial is in order. I'm excited to be back in it with you! And to pivot topics, if only slightly.

Intro/Chapter 1 - SUNDAY JANUARY 14TH.

Chapter 2 & 3 - SUNDAY JANUARY 21ST

Chapter 4 & 5 - SUNDAY JANUARY 28TH

Chapter 6 & 7 & Conclusion - SUNDAY FEBRUARY 4TH

Attain it physically or digitally in some capacity with your very legal techniques, and we will do 2 chapters a week for 4 weeks, I think. I kind of want to go faster, they're short chaps, but we all got lives dont we.

I've been talking to JJ McCullough lol and I read The Metaphysical Club by Louis Menand this year for the project and am finding that reading about history is really exciting and Real and I want to do more of it. Maybe we can do some of it together, if we find appropriate books. Or we can always just hard left turn and read Artemis Fowl or the Hunger Games.

2. THE HOW TO DO NOTHING SURVEY:

The memes for Robert Pirsig truly write themselves here's a couple I made:

Get competitive, I want a meme economy in Kill The Internet book club that is our next step of evolution.

Memes of How To Do Nothing are HIGHLY encouraged, as well as memes for previous books as their surveys come around, but I suspect we will have the best memes going forward, creating them as we read.

That's it. Stay safe. See you soon. Will post some more Patreon exclusive content sorry about the deep depression. Also I accidentally deleted yesterdays thread while making this thread and I will message Patreon to try to restore it from the grave, literal misclick. k bye
