[ORDER SOLUTION] Extreme Right Movements

Although Greta Olson recognized that misogyny is connected to the organizing of Alt-Right movements online, she argues that it is not the only cause of these movements, but one of many other causes. In this essay, discuss the combined roles that misogyny, dominant masculinity, racism and affective bonds play in the creation of extreme Right movements online. Engage the work of both, Greta Olson and Mabel Berezin to explain the importance of emotions in the public sphere and why the study of affective attachment and the cultivation of an “us versus them” mentality fosters an affective environment where hate can flourish and can be used as a bonding feeling for Alt-Right groups. Discuss how these extremist movements find the expression of this affective bond in social media and other platforms.
