Hipster Fascism

Chapter 3

From: Decolonize Hipsters

$3.30

In Hipster Fascism, Pierrot focuses on the hipster subculture and its connections to fascism and white supremacy movements in recent years. As hipsters’ founding logic is based around consumption, anything is up for grabs, which has allowed for both celebrations of culture and also celebrations of racism to grow within its ranks. The chapter focuses on topics such as growing fascism in media, online white supremacy, gentrification, the adoption of Nazi and fascist imagery, football hooliganism, and the Nazi undercut. It includes a case study of Gavin McInnes, former coeditor of Vice and later fascist and founder of the proud boys.
