This is a FANTASTIC piece about a man who got so caught up in the online culture wars that he stabbed his father to death for being a leftist, and about the intellectual disconnect between the purveyors of conspiracy and their audience.

Need to finish reading this later. These online communities are pretty fucking scary.


There is a really amazing visual metaphor throughline of the piece. The writer does a great job contrasting the beautiful, welcoming neighborhood outdoors against the fact that the killer spent most of his time inside the dark, refuse-filled basement, and when he finally emerged into the light he was covered in blood.

Its a brilliant analogue to the entire idea of social isolation these hate-fueled young men have to force themselves into to allow their ideas to fester unchallenged
