On the Milo Bus With the Lost Boys of Americas New Right
What happens when a movement of gamers recognizes theyre not players, but pawns?
By Laurie Penny
Have you heard the one about the boy who cried Fake News?
This is a story about truth and consequences. Its a story about who gets to be young and dumb, and who gets held accountable. Its also a story about how the new right exploits young men how it preys not on their bodies, but on their emotions, on their hurts and hopes and anger and anxiety, their desperate need to be part of a big ugly boys own adventure.
