The Alt-Right Playbook: How to Radicalize a Normie
Innuendo Studios
A video essay from the Alt-Right Playbook series that explains how extremist movements draw ordinary people in, using deniable rhetoric, bad-faith games, and gradual escalation. It draws on books about the alt-right, male radicalization, and cult-style brainwashing.
HN commenters cite it in moderation and politics threads as a clear account of why hard rules fail against dogwhistles and how isolated people get recruited.
