Digital media are critical for contemporary activism—even low-effort “clicktivism” is politically consequential and contributes to offline participation. We argue that in the United States and throughout the industrialized West, left- and right-wing activists use digital and legacy media differently to achieve political goals. Although left-wing actors operate primarily through “hashtag activism” and offline protest, right-wing activists manipulate legacy media, migrate to alternative platforms, and work strategically with partisan media to spread their messages. Although scholarship suggests that the right has embraced strategic disinformation and conspiracy theories more than the left, more research is needed to reveal the magnitude and character of left-wing disinformation. Such ideological asymmetries between left- and right-wing activism hold critical implications for democratic practice, social media governance, and the interdisciplinary study of digital politics.

错误的等价物:从左到右的在线激进主义

数字媒体对当代激进主义至关重要——即使是低努力的“点击主义”在政治上也会产生影响,并有助于线下参与。我们认为,在美国和整个工业化西方,左翼和右翼活动家以不同的方式使用数字媒体和传统媒体来实现政治目标。尽管左翼行动者主要通过“标签激进主义”和线下抗议来运作,但右翼激进分子操纵传统媒体,迁移到替代平台,并与党派媒体进行战略合作以传播他们的信息。尽管学术研究表明右翼比左翼更接受战略性虚假信息和阴谋论,但需要更多的研究来揭示左翼虚假信息的规模和特征。
