From World of Warcraft to Right-Wing Influencer: The Rise of Asmongold (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You may not know Asmongold, but millions of people do. Born Zachariah “Zack” Hoyt in 1990, Asmongold is a Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and gaming commentator who built his enormous following playing and discussing World of Warcraft.

A New Gilded Age? Today’s Oligarchs Are in a Class of Their Own (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mark Twain coined the term “Gilded Age” in a novel co-authored with Charles Dudley Warner called The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873), which satirized the corruption lurking behind America’s spectacular prosperity in the late 19th century.

COINTELPRO (Counterintelligence Program) was a secret series of il
Nine Years After Charlottesville the Far Right Moved From the Margins to the Mainstream (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nine years ago this week the Unite the Right rally was held in Charlottesville, Virginia. Who could forget images of white supremacists marching through Charlottesville wielding flaming torches and chanting, “Jews will not replace us”?

Trump also said he was not talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Charlottesville bec
