MY YEAR IN THE ONLINE LEFT by Eric Saeger SIGNED Paperback Book Twitter Politics

Description: Brand new SIGNED copy of the 2024 paperback book MY YEAR IN THE ONLINE LEFT by underground journalist Eric W. Saeger. BOOK INFO: In 2020, a veteran culture critic took on a social media experiment he called "Supersize Me Twitter." For one full year (which turned into four), he tweeted about leftist politics constantly on Twitter, but without "choosing a side" between Democrats, socialists, communists or progressives. This is the story of that bad idea and what he learned during that time. Informed by such thinkers as Alvin Toffler, Barbara Ehrenreich, Chalmers Johnson, Michael Hudson, Clara Mattei, Steve Keen, Robert Ovetz, Mark Blyth and dozens of others, this book is intended as a "virtual travel guide" for activists, organizers and curiosity seekers alike. It demystifies such recent developments as the decline of corporate social media platforms, the rise of independent media (the "Fifth Estate") as it overtakes the mainstream media, "punk economics," political divisions within Twitter culture and the "online left" itself, and why America's economic system has entered its "end stage capitalism" phase. Other than that, it's a very upbeat book. The follow-up to underground journalist Eric Saeger's 2018 book Russian Nazi Troll Bots, a humorous examination of the internet troll groups that played a role in helping Donald Trump get himself elected to the American presidency, My Year in the Online Left takes a comedic approach to discussing the shattered state of online discourse in leftist spaces. He makes the case that online activism - "slacktivism" - could be a useful tool for activists and organizers concerned with such causes as labor unions, climate change, wealth inequality and America's imperial aggression. This book seeks to raise awareness about the various divides that have prevented the collective left from joining together to fight back against propagandists who routinely use trolls and bots to sow infighting and spread disinformation in order to keep regular citizens confused and foment leftist infighting.
