Intellectual Dark Web

The Intellectual Dark Web (I.D.W.) is a term used to describe a network, primarily online, of classical liberals and mainstream conservatives. It generally does not include the New Right.[1]

The I.D.W. has been demonized by the mainstream media.[2][3][4][5][6] It is falsely accused of being a gateway to the white nationalist alt-right. However, studies have shown that the I.D.W. de-radicalizes people.[7] The I.D.W. has also been criticized by conservatives.[8]
