Affects and strategies of digital fascism

Fascism is doing well – it has become a meme, a consumer product and an emotional world. His violent dreams and male fantasies find a perfect biotope on the internet. Right-wing agitators create marketable emotional patterns that reach from YouTube and parliaments to the streets. They build attractive counter-realities – and thereby win elections, followers and audiences. From GamerGate to Halle, “big exchange” to “Corona lie” – Simon Strick examines the affective strategies of right-wing actors . Numerous analyzes show how they make feelings of danger popular and accessible for whites and men: This fascism speaks the language of risk society and effectively manipulates democratic publics. Distancing is no means against this right-wing emotional revolution. Right feelings must be responded to collectively and affectively.
