On the Milo Bus With the Lost Boys of Americas New Right [View all]

What happens when a movement of gamers recognizes they’re 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. It’s a story about who gets to be young and dumb, and who gets held accountable. It’s 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.
