Media Martyrs Pt. 2 "The Reactionaries"

In the second of a special three-part series, Jamie and Josh explore how the rise of citizen journalism combined with toxic troll culture gave rise to reaction reactionaries: The people who profit most from reacting to other people’s reactions. Rooted in digital technology’s infrastructure and libertarian ideology, they explore how identity, language, and irony were leveraged to create an army of culture warriors. From Chan culture to John Perry Barlow's Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace, they explore how we arrived in an environment where targeted harassment campaigns have become the norm.
