Lecture by Joshua Citarella at FWBfest 2023 in Idyllwild, CA exploring extremely online politics.https://www.patreon.com/joshuacitarellahttps://joshuacitarel...
Joshua Citarella is a visual artist who studies the memes and culture of Gen Z teens radicalized on the internet.
I felt that too, especially the manner in which he poked fun at their contradictions. It comes off as dismissive, but I don’t think this is actually the case.
Based on an interview I watched of Citarella, he seeks to understand the teens and their motivations, telling their stories with compassion. Citarella also stated that the right is taking this phenomenon seriously (and using it as a pipeline), so the left should as well.
Yeah that perception stopped me from continuing the video, but maybe I will give it another try. Thanks for giving more context, its a topic that is actually interesting to me
