Angela Nagle

In May 2018, The Daily Beast accused Nagle of "sloppy sourcing", including not citing sources and drawing heavily from Wikipedia and RationalWiki. Nagle and her publisher both issued detailed statements rebutting the accusations, and The Daily Beast adjusted some of the article's wording.

In November 2018, American Affairs published Nagle's controversial essay ”The Left Case against Open Borders.” Writing in The Independent, Slavoj Žižek referred to the “ferocious attacks on Angela Nagle for her outstanding essay." The Nation responded with a critical essay, calling it "just one of the volley of pieces by liberals and people to the left of center who have derided the out-of-touch utopianism of open-borders advocates." Author Atossa Araxia Abrahamian identifies Harvard president Larry Summers, author John Judis, and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton as others promoting similar views.

Angela Nagle (born 1984) is an academic and non-fiction writer who has written for The Baffler, Jacobin, and others. She is the author of the book Kill All Normies, published by Zero Books in 2017, which discusses the role of the internet in the rise of the alt-right and incel movements. Nagle describes the alt-right as a dangerous movement, but she also criticizes aspects of the left that have, she says, contributed to the alt-right's rise.
