description: Talia Lavin is every skinheads worst nightmare: a loud and unapologetic Jewish woman acerbic smart and profoundly antiracist with the investigative chops to expose the tactics and ideologies of online hatemongers. Culture Warlords is the story of how Lavin a frequent target of extremist trolls (including those at Fox News) dove into a byzantine online culture of hate and learned the intricacies of how white supremacy proliferates online.Within these pages she reveals the extremists hiding in plain sight online: Incels. White nationalists. White supremacists. National Socialists. Proud Boys. Christian extremists. In order to showcase them in their natural habitat Talia assumes a range of identities going undercover as a blonde Nazi babe a forlorn incel and a violent Aryan femme fatale. Along the way she discovers a whites-only dating site geared toward racists looking for love a disturbing extremist YouTube channel run by a fourteen-year-old girl with over 800000 followers the everyday heroes of the antifascist movement and much more.By combining compelling stories chock-full of catfishing and gate-crashing with her own in-depth gut-wrenching research she also turns the lens of anti-Semitism racism and white power back on itself in an attempt to dismantle and decimate the online hate movement from within. Culture Warlords explores some of the vilest subcultures on the Web-and shows us how we can fight back.
