Talia Lavin is every skinhead's worst nightmare: a loud and unapologetic Jewish woman, acerbic, smart, and profoundly anti-racist, with the investigative chops to expose the tactics and ideologies of online hatemongers. Culture Warlords is the story of how Lavin stumbled into a byzantine online culture of hate, becoming one of the nation's leading experts on how white supremacy proliferates online. She uncovers the hidden places online where extremists hang out - and exposes a veritable "bestiary of terrible people," as she calls it: Incels. White nationalists. White supremacists. National Socialists. Proud Boys. Christian extremists. Talia goes undercover as a blonde Nazi babe and a forlorn incel to infiltrate deep into extremist communities online, including a whites-only dating site where white supremacists try to find romantic connections. She discovers the digital world of disturbingly young extremists, including a white supremacist YouTube channel run by a 14 year old girl with over 800,000 followers. Ultimately, she turns the lens of anti-Semitism, racism, and white power back on itself in an attempt to dismantle and quash the online hate movement's schisms, recruiting tactics, and the threat it represents to the 2020 election and beyond.
