Alt-Right Pipeline 2: Electric PragerU 

Thank YOU! 💜

As a viewer, I believe your cause is noble and your methods are clear. I hope that your organization can bring change to the world! ^o^

@@zoe_bee Please consider talking about Corporatism one day :)

I radically love the world radical love😄❤

I want to attend, but idk if I’ll be able to make it worth it with my current level of expertise. I’m currently studying to be a learning experience designer for the very goals you are addressing.

I know, it’s absolutely amazing on the rare instances I find something actually polished from professors.

@@darkstarr984 I know right it's wild when you do see it. Like... Feels like you're not getting scammed for once.

Professors aren't by in large entertainers and are simply trying to impart information upon their students. Also they tend to have a million other things they have to do. They just don't have the time and effort to clean up their videos into something high quality

i think that's part of the problem. you roll up to anyone who actually knows their shit and it's in 240p with a mic straight out of 2007. but with prageru, the lighting is on point. the content is a little stilted and awkward, but it's concise and easy to follow. it kind of reminds me of how most left wing news outlets either are behind a paywall or immediately attack you for having your adblocker on, but right wing outlets with the same kinds of headlines are right there and easy to read

@@sleepyst0rmYep. Exactly. Just a different version of "You are the product"

So the name Pennis Drager is accurate

@@bastian_5975 I read that as "Penis Dagger" lmfao 🤣

He speaks in the voiceover voice all the time, they got sick of it

marriage is so important to him, he couldn't just do it once!

I had to check this and he's only ("only") been married thrice and divorced twice, which is much less fun.

I have those ads under my video too is this a coincidence?

How does that mean that RU-vid isn't taking down some videos, or not recommending them to a wider audience, or not demonetizing them at times etc.

I don't think you understand how RU-vid censorship works.

@@CanRotaryLife Maybe you can inform us of what you mean, and who you are vaguely referring to?

censorship doens't mean full censorship

That's the difference between a marketing business and an educational one. You can see where the money is being spent. Idk that I want large universities siphoning off more of their budgets to non-academic resources.

do you remember what it was called? how do i find real educational videos

I’d like to note those highly educational videos from field professionals or footage of classroom lectures aren’t produced. They are filmed, but they aren’t a production, there’s no effort made to make it look nice it’s just education presented with zero bells and whistles.

​@@Ashakat42I'd personally love to see large universities spend less money on sports and more on actual education.

@@thefoxandthehound81 Just search for broad topics like "Chemistry" or "Geology" or whatever you wanna learn and find videos from collage professors. You can also find the youtube channels of collages themselves but they tend to have less deeply educational content and more accessible content.

And then there is that massive video explaining in detail why and how the atomic bombs were dropped to debunk PU's claim that it was to avoid deaths

@@crystalbirthdays tru bestie. Dropping the atomic bombs was the better alternative.

thats alarming to say the least

The homeschool concept is sick. Different children learning different things, because they cant trust an institution with thier child. And children not interacting with others at school, it's just cringe.

Literally doing the thing they think the left is doing to their kids: Indoctrinating them. So ironic and not in a good way.

that's a big part of what we cover in the first paper. They're very clear that the direction of the company is turning towards children

@@carlogaytan7010 I dont know if I can agree with that sentiment. Some kids really do benefit from home school if done competently. My older sister suffered brain damage during infancy and needed constant supervision so one of my parents had to become stay at home. Due to this they homeschooled the younger children before starting a small charter school for children falling behind in larger schools(private or public). It was a far more accellerated learning program and allowed students to catch up to where they needed to be and even accellerate past what children their age did. One student completed calc two during their freshman year of highschool. Obviously there are people who dont do it very well, but I find it hard to hate the idea due to the good I have seen it provide.

Tbh that's more of less the position I'm in

We could easily fix it if we scared fascists enough

How would u scare the fascists?

@@eliasjohannesen1747 discussion of this topic may violate terms of use

@@eliasjohannesen1747 fascists want power above all else and win by consolidating power. And power is what defeats them. If we can get the power to push them out of public discourse, make them afraid to be fascists through shame and, perhaps, sometimes more... forceful ways of suppression, we'll win.

Ahh... This is the Buddhist story of the lotus in the mud. No one knows how old it is... not everything shared from past generations is trash, but yeah, most of it must be understood, and then overcome. Too bad literacy of history is being attacked by the GOP. Old processes, procedures, social norms and even Laws are not observed by the GOP... Law and Order == Fantasy World where everyone accommodated small minded ideas about WHO they should be, HOW they should behave, even WHAT they should think, to affirm Supreme angry toddler Trump's LIES. He's all about the presentation, not much for actual CONTENT, and that's been for so many decades.. such a shallow/hollow man, yet even lower people looks up to HIM? _not gonna cry_ Freedom isn't meaningful if it requires COMPULSORY COMPLIANCE, comporting your very identity with who/what WEALTHY people around DEMAND YOU ACT OUT. That's literally tyranny, and the irony is lost on the contextually unaware GOP who turn out for rallies, even when no election is near... IT'S A SHOW! THAT'S NOT NORMAL... other elected officials GOT TO WORK, but Trump's work is MARKETING/Mind Fking. Sorry this reply went sideways... it's YT, like ranting on toilet paper, not to say I wanted to shit on your post. You come off as a lovely person, so for the NOTHING IT'S WORTH, WISH you the best. _If my WISHES had some value, I'd shower you with them, that's just insane so_

In the upper Northern Hemisphere old people die in winter simply because it is cold I guess you have Southern Hemisphere privilege where only the Dead are cold when outside is below zero and nowhere close to it the death toll is ridiculous this is a yearly thing without fail anywhere north of the Danube

@@ridanann This was posted 4 months ago. That's July. Which was very fucking hot in the northern hemisphere, where I happen to live. Hence my comment, since when it's 35+ºC outside you don't want to stay warm. Also, the southern hemisphere is colder on average than the northern, we just think of areas close to the equator when people say "southern hemisphere" because, from the global north, it is in fact southward.

@@Alexlalpaca the hell are you on about colder in the Southern Hemisphere where the big chunk of ice with nothing on it or superheated Australia where white people probably couldn't survive if it wasn't some modern sunscreen. off your trolley we got syberia Scandinavia Britain Canada Greenland a bunch of habited places were basically snows all year round or near good as there is nothing in the south to get cold nobody lives in the same latitudinal references as they do on the North the heatwave weather freak event probably won't even happen again first time it happened in my lifetime

@@ridanann That sounds kinds racist tbh. First the northern hemisphere is not as cold as you say. Siberia and Canada ere really fucking big and it doesn't snow all year round in either and it can get pretty fucking hot in the UK, as showcased by this last summer, and you are ignoring all the hot parts of the northern hemisphere: Mexico, North Africa, the Sahara, the middle east, etc. Special mention to the hottest place on earth, the death valley. Second, not all of the southern hemisphere is as hot as you say. Australia is pretty hot, yeah, but not so much in the case of Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, southernmost South Africa, and of course the coldest place on earth, Antarctica. I think you're working off of previous assumptions and refusing to see the global north and south as anything other than the monolithic preconceptions of them you already had.

@@Alexlalpaca I'm basing it by populated geographical regions in the south the equator is more populous then nearer nearer the Pole where is the North is populated right the way up to the pole basically within a few hundred feet the human experience is a cold North weather doesn't matter when there's no people. Antarctica is like the moon you can't really go there so who cares if you need a t-shirt or a jacket it doesn't even have spiders the top is only geographically warmer because of the wobble as far as human experience goes the South Pole might as well be mythological. The phrase the global South really should be the global Midlands not to mention the populated South is evidently warmer just going by geographical phenotypes I'm white because there is a lack of sunlight if my ancestors spent the last 2000 years in South Africa I would be as black is Kanye West thinks he is Wesley Snipes would have nothing on me and that is to do with the geographical environment plus Africa being the cradle of civilisation the people still have a tan all along that line South and North but the point is if you go south from there you don't find pale skin people suffering s*** weather where is if you go North you immediately bump into miserable bastards in raincoats listening to Oasis lol New Zealand is the closest thing the Southern Hemisphere has to Britain and of course Peter Jackson knew that but it is not very populous and most of its native populus retain phenotypes from significantly warmer regions australasian tend to be pretty dark in the British and Irish Isles Scandinavia Russia people well if I get wet you can see right through me. You're probably wondering what makes the Inuit Brown firstly they get more sunlight despite the freezing temperature secondly their diet actually give them melanin technically for British populations eating an Inuit diet would cure our melanin deficiency overtime it's been going on about 5000 years now but it certainly isn't normal when you look at usual human skin we probably look like ghosts 2 most people's of the world winter is coming and it was colonialism people in those hot countries don't even know what happened to our old people every year. Which makes me think if the South near the pole was as popular as it is in the North maybe the colonisation would have happened in mirror the hostile environment undoubtably breeds are very Hardy human being New Zealand is about Akin to Australia as Britain is from North Africa if New Zealand was 5 times the size maybe history would be completely different.

All the companies make profit , better to call them tax exempt.

​@@godzilla2k26 At the end of the day, the problem isn't that PragerU doesn't pay tax, because it wouldn't be much; it's that the increase in value brought to the investments of the donors is given a better tax deal than any of us get for our earned income. Compared to a lot of things, their status is probably doing more for their image than their bottom line.

@@Nassifeh People give a favorable view to non profit the term. So changing it to what it is allows an unbiased honest term to describe it. On top of taking a salary but calling operating cost instead.

99 percent of non-profits

Indirect is a good way to look at it

I commend you for leaving.

How did you get in there in the first place? I have a friend who spent too much time on 4chan and eventually started talking about the "globalists." He thankfully left a long time ago.

@@PatrickWDunne mostly just RU-vid I think. and all the cringe sjw compilation things lol. and probably some influence from my parents. Idk how I really got out of it but it wasn't really until my senior year of highschool. Probably when I realized I was gay lol

@@mr.sadfaceman5385if you think conservative, or laughing at the sjw are ALT-RIGHT pipelines the liberals on the left have you manipulated. Liberal doesn’t even mean left, alt right doesn’t mean conservative. Conservative acknowledges the individual, the alt right does not, instead advocates for white nationalism, and fascism. Fascism isn’t just something you dislike, fascism is something conservatives are heavily against. Start asking questions, look into what conservatives or maybe even classical liberal really means. But I hope you got good liberal lefty friends because they do tend to unfriend and silence people who do that exact thing.

Same, mostly. My family is mostly center-right, and I used to watch some people in the "online atheist community" on YT. Ugh, I used to be unbearable. I am so glad that I broke out of it before it was too late.

Such a great idea! ☺️

^^You two would narrate the calmest sounding essay ever read on RU-vid!

So when is the vaush collab? He is the perfect example of the divisiveness of the coalition for no good reason, and has a huge audience with the only difference being asthetic. That sounds like the perfect place to start building an alliance since both communities want the same things. But are alienated from each other by mistakes

@@PropheticShadeZ Vaush is toxic

@@martiendejong8857 not really.

Yeah, that video was so bad, even Prager Poo realized what a stinker of a deuce they'd laid and pulled it. Talk about "Cancel Culture." LOL

I think they actually started the series up again recently if you weren't aware

@@VitaeLibra Oh I am, thanks. the more recent videos are much shorter than the previous ones, they're a lot like the first few videos in that series.

Silence serves the interests of your masters. If you speak up alone your livelihood(or like, literal life) will be threatened. If you speak up in an organized group. Then your voice is heard together and protected by it's numbers.

Are you joking? The far lefts agenda is supported by the international elite in practically all its forms. People who you consider far right are the ones who have to keep their opinions to themselves and remain silent. How is it you people despite being catered to to such a ridiculous extent still view yourselves as the victims?

That type of polarization & partisan atmosphere is the end result of the abuse of power, and attempts to silence & oppress the dissent by your side. This is another one of those instances where you reaped what you sowed. Of course, you academic types don't give a flying flip about that, because _rules for thee, not for me._ You and the right have always been two sides of the same coin.

@@theAEDan Oh, you are alt right. FYI not elite anywhere on Earth support workers owning the means of production(the actual far lefts agenda). Since none of the elite are workers. They are owners. You'd know that if you weren't alt right

@@Praisethesunson no, but they do support every single social issue more or less. Obviously here we aren’t talking about workers owning the means of production comrade. I do however support wage caps as well as a reduction in working hours in line with the improvements in production seen over time and the dramatic wealth inequality that has arisen? Does that sound alt right to you? Ultimately you wouldn’t know.

BAHAHAHA YES SAMEEEE

The right wing sources tend to have the same billionaire backers. Lefties? Well, those Soros checks are forever lost in the mail.

As someone who lurks in a lot of right leaning groups I can guarantee that they’re not any more united than anyone else. The best I can tell is that things that right wing factions don’t like are more visible in media currently, and so they appear united in their distaste of these things. In terms of actual action & ideological consistency and even the internal ideological consistency of individual people, the unity doesn’t seem to me to be quite as present as you perceive it to be

Theyre all actually on the right though. When one lumps leftists and liberals together it always appears that they agree on nothing because they arent on the same side. The frightening thing is that historically, liberals will side with the right when events prevent them from fence sitting indefinitely. (Imo liberals are right wing but pay lip service to progressive ideas which always fail to pan out. Whether this is by design or not is beside the point.)

@@jettfuelfitness Hmm. Yeah, they perceive us as unified, and we're not. I like to say that, much as one calls a group of crows a murder, and a group of geese a gaggle, one should call a group of leftists an argument.

Yk what’s also insane ? Letting children alter their bodies when their brain isn’t even developed

What kind of company is this??

Thank you for making this known. PragerU is controlled opposition. They are not to be trusted.

Pushing what, the truth? Clear thinking? After watching this video, it's pretty clear Zoe didn't watch a single PU video, she's clearly talking shit about things she doesn't know. She makes claim after claim without actually showing any evidence of PU even being ALT-Right? is Zoe just another ALT-Left???

Exactly. Moderate.

So they have one guy who is good, that made them bad? I didn't really follow the logic of that one.

Production values are a sign of funding. Which the right wing has from billionaire funders looking to protect their own ill gotten wealth

It makes sense, too, like how all those terrible "crafts" and "cooking" channels manage to get tons of views despite being somehow even more content-free, and why none of the people who left Bon Appetit seem to be doing as well since they did. RU-vid's original line about democratizing content isn't proving true, and it's one thing to know that, but then what do you do about it?

@@Nassifeh what do you do about it? You seize the means of production comrade

​@@Praisethesunson Yeah, let me know how many people you've found who're willing to die to try to nationalize RU-vid. This is glib and unhelpful.

Hey Jessie! Keep getting better. Can't wait for the second face reveal.

I keep seeing you pop up in all my favorite channels; even my favorite channel about books (Mr noble)

ohh, 666th like... "curses"

Ok she could do that, but that in no way is the point of the video, please rewatch as the monopoly was the main point.

@@azhtenz the real monopoly is the lefts control of main stream media.

I would love to see her attempt to do this too. But I'm sorry it's not possible

They don't listen, as soon as you question their beliefs or insinuate that they're wrong the blinders go on and the strawmen come out to play

It’s impossible for her to look at and discuss a RU-vid video? That’s rather disappointing, because I was looking forward to her responding to the actual content that they put out

​@@archieyarr9357I wouldn't count on that. A good chunk of people are functionally illiterate and unable to understand what they read, no matter the education grade. That used to happen a long time after education, but now it's happening even within it. At least that's the datas in my country.

Thank you! I was trying to tread the thin line between "too subtle no one will get it" and "too invasive and weird that it will be off-putting to anyone who doesn't get the reference" lol

Wow, thank you! We didn't get it! And now we do!! 😂

I was just about to write this! 😆 Love the gag; and the video itself is super important. Thanks!

@@zoe_bee Yes, I loved this reference!

@@zoe_bee I am genuinely so glad that was intentional

That's the entire right wing strategy in a nutshell. Project onto your opponent what you actually are doing yourself in order to deflect blame and responsibility.

Specifically pro-lifers!

All the right has is projection. My dad was yelling that liberals were the REAL fascists the other day... and i just laughed at him xD

1) The goal of a conservative speaking is not to debate or argue in the sense of dialectic, or to pursue a truth. It is to "win", often time with "a-ha" moments. The card says "moops". 2) they know what they're saying is nonsense. For those who don't truly believe it, the fear of what would happen if they admit they're wrong makes them believe the only way to continue is to dig their hole, further entrenching the dogma. 3) The goal is to twist language, and thus the narrative, to better suit their goals. When the right say that the nazis were leftists despite having nazis in their ranks, that's done to muddle the word nazi and leftist at the same time. 4) the point of saying "facts don't care about your feelings" is exactly that: these beliefs they consider immutable (the conservative equivalent of "facts") cannot bend or change if they cause someone else suffering, or, in some cases, the point of these beliefs is so others suffer. The right does not have an interest in the pursuit of truth, only the implementation of their concept of truth- one that is self-serving, immutable, and full of double standards. "The only moral abortion is my abortion", for example. For people who love to call things "literally 1984", they don't seem to recognize that they're the ones speaking in newspeak and doublethink. Or, if they do, they just don't care. Do not mistake apathy for incompetence.

@@BoisegangGaming what do you mean by the only moral abortion is my abortion

thank you!! 🙏

Or you could just pay attention to things like Joe Biden lying his ass off literally every time he speaks(when you can actually understand him or he can actually complete the sentence) for the last 50 years? Then you can go watch Amala and Prager U's response video to this where they offer to debate this girl at anytime she'd like and then look at the fact that she still hasn't took them up on that and will never take them up on that...... Then you put 2 and 2 together and figure out who the real liars are...... this is what I would do but that is just me. If that isn't enough for you go to the grocery store real quick and check out the price of eggs. Then stop and get gas on your way home. If you haven't figured it out by then, you might be brainwashed. Sorry.

I think it has to do with the fact that people aren't educated in their homes in any useful way.

Seek out both sides. I watch lots of präger U videos and other conservative channels. I also try to watch the leftist perspective... This Zoe person popped up on the feed uninvited...

I mean... Algorithm is great for entertainment (to a degree. I did love when I was bored as fuck and the only way to change it on YT was either happening to have a nice video on my home page or my own creativity to type in something I haven't typed in before), but it can also create bubbles and echo-chambers

Literally as an individual the best thing you can do with this kind of gross right wing content is starve it of views and engagement.

Exactly! Share stuff like this instead

The left doesn't have ultra rich billionaires funding the deliberately unprofitable Prager nonsense.

I think this is a consequence of moralising, and lingering good vs evil frameworks from society. Since the most passionate online leftists are very insular and usually disconnected socially, leading to small issues exploding very easily Twitter is obviously a secondary problem which essentialises and antagonises personl communication deficiencies, and lets the whims of the worst parts of the human minds tear down people

@@PropheticShadeZ Lol no. Bad take. Bad. No treat for you.

Somebody made the very interesting point that Communism shared a lot of cultural norms with Christian religious culture, and that some leftist like Sitting on the Porch and throwing shade at the local Sinners, whilst forgetting that they've screwed up in the day, when they weren't so "Enlightened," and "pure." You have the same problem is that "tomorrow" is a work in progress, and fighting each other is easier than working together. And that's a dangerous distraction.

Absolutely. I've said this before. The left as it currently exists, especially online, seems to confuse maintaining principles with lacking forgiveness. It's not only unhelpful in advancing progressive causes, but easily turns into conservatism, because it's easy to slip from "you did a bad thing, so you are a bad person" to "you did a thing I don't understand, so you are a bad person".

The axis are not labelled, so I would counter by saying it is EXACTLY like a PragerPoo graph.

Graph go up = Mexicans bad

My favorite bit on PragerU's arsenal of pseudo-intellectualism, as an engineer, are the meaningless charts without axis labels, units of measurement or straight up graphing things like happiness without any further explanation

It looks like Prageru is destrying the alt-right pipeline.

Gravel institute has a similar take but it doesn't sound like people hate them

@@Fiox789 People seem indifferent to GI except on the issue of Ukraine, where I think there's a hard split in the left.

I work with someone who's 24 and mentioned Prager out of the blue asked me if I've ever heard of it. Couldn't believe he actually watches it unironically

now that you mention it, not being able to see dislikes anymore is likely going to help them indoctrinate more people

@@scrilla4047 This might be when you direct him towards this video. "Yes, I've heard of Prager; what I haven't heard is anything good about them..."

I believe Maggie Mae Fish's review of Fight Club dabbles in that territory

To be honest, the pipeline starts with dumb culture war issues and arguments, and random compilation videos of Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson.

@@carlogaytan7010 It's seeping into RU-vid fitness, too (at least the more mainstream one). It's incredibly alarming. And no one's talking about it, either. Nothing disgusts me more.

And I keep getting their ads at every corner of every video. I don’t want to watch someone scream about wanting to close abortion rights for 45 minutes after some gaming video. Also fun fact, on this video I got a TERF ad lol

Well yeah. They pay good money to exist.

@@otto_jk Individuals can do this, but the ads mostly aren't a problem because one person is annoyed--they're a problem because thousands of people are getting pushed towards this content all the time, and not everybody is that savvy. Especially teenagers.

So what exactly is alt-right? Because those channels tend to denounce the “alt-right”, which makes perfect sense. What most people seem to identify as the dissident right or “alt right” is quite intensely anti-capitalist. The daily wire and PragerU are extremely pro-capitalist.

The Daily Wire has repeatedly condemned the alt-right. They are far right-wing to be sure but not alt-right. They don't believe in the majority of alt-right tenets especially that their movement is a "movement for white conservatives only". They are not racist or misogynisitc, although you could make the argument that they are transphobic, and I don't agree with any of their points regarding trans-people.

So glad I don't live in the US and get that garbage

What about Disney?

How hard was it to change your perspective on things? Did it take years?

@@oliverwilson5957 kind of. I was in a state of depression. Basically, to me, everything going wrong "could not be my own fault". The fact that I live in a very right wing environment only helped to reinforce that. However, over time I found myself questioning certain topics. For example, I was very anti Nazi. However, I noticed people around me has very similar ideas to them. So I started to asked, and funny enough I was started to be seen as a "fake patriot". Over time I decided to look at the other side. And while part of me still had that programming, I felt that they were right about things. Slowly I began to see that no there was no "gay agenda". Slowly I realized that there is no "white genocide" or anything like that. As someone who was on that side for years I'll say that it has two sides. It is a cult. They treat you like brothers, sisters, and yes they even welcome nonwhites. However it is only a front. As soon as you question, or even challenge them, you are cut off right away. A lot of people are also pressured into that side out of fear. Fear of losing your family, friends, and community. So even if they know it is wrong, they let it slide for fear of being left alone. I know some people who don't want to be part of that side, but do it because they have nowhere to turn to. The right wing is a cult. It is an organization that uses love and acceptance as a reward for being loyal and following their rules. And fear as a punishment.

@@KallenMalefic I really do appreciate you taking the time to tell me your story. Im taking the time to listen because I truly want to understand what keeps people in this state of mind and why they think, believe, and act the way they do. Thanks for responding and Im glad you are overcoming your depression. I've been there and it's like trying to crawl out of a pit. I had to find new ways of changing my perspective and a quote that resonates with me is from a show that may surprise you (its from The Avatar.) "When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change" It's like being at the bottom of that pit, there's only one place left to go and that's up. If you were that person who felt fear of being left alone, just know that Im proud that you've been able and trying to overcome the very things holding you back

I do find it extremely ironic how people talk about devolving into the alt-right pipeline and becoming incels and angry at feminists in one breath, but then still include and call out Jordan Peterson in that hilarious alt-right pipeline graph, even though prof. Peterson is preaching about cleaning your room and your life, claiming responsibility, working for the future and trying your best to decrease the amount of suffering in the world.

So did you come to the conclusion you had gender dysphoria or were you told you had gender dysphoria? I’m curious about your progression to that identification? Did you always know? It seems like that would be such a stressful realization. Like it’s a relief you know what was causing your depression, but that knowing then comes with a whole set of obstacles to navigate. Asking for real, not to be a jerk or anything.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yea. I wonder how often the algorithm causes channels like Keith Woods or Morgoth reviews to just “pop up”.

that means her channels scary algorithm is working.

But there are no criticisms! She is saying, "they are doing a great job and we need to copy what they are doing!" Maybe you should get some graphic design students that are alt-left to volunteer to do your designs!

I found it because Prager U already addressed this nonsense.

You are correct, it's unpublished, so should not have been cited... Just saying it would be fine to just SAY THESE WORDS UNCREDITED; that citation was a mistake. Does this single error undermine the entirety of her presentation? Not for me.

@@zoe_bee, it's the drains. Cephalopods (with the exception of cuttlefish and maybe some squids) can fit through any opening large enough for their beaks and brains.

Exactly! I’ve seen so many people with the same story (including myself), I’m not sure what exactly changed, but it seems like around 2018-19 there was a sort of split. For a lot of people who were in the pipeline, it seems like that was the time they either got off the ride or fell completely in. The only thing I could think of is the start of Trump’s second election cycle being the catalyst, with many people stepping back and looking at where that path actually wound up.

@@evilemuempire9550 I think I got off the ride at that point. I’m not sure exactly why.

Same here. being a young atheist born in a catholic country really made me lean into being a reactionary just before the gamergate era. Luckily my personal experience as a woman and an immigrant made me realise the bullshit they‘re spouting.

Nuclear war scare?

@@Praisethesunson The first nuclear war scare happened when Trump literally started saying shit like "We should nuke people more, we have all these nukes, we should use them". The second one happened when there was a story of Russia taking an action that at the time would have caused war between them and the USA. The third one happened when Trump moved a nuclear capable warship into chinese territory and only was avoided because the military pulled it out and ignored orders to keep it there. 2020 was so fucking brutal a year that people often only remember one scare out of the three. FFS I'm not even certain I'm remembering these in order and I practice memory techniques.

Basically any medium can be a platform for any ideology. The gaming community is huge which naturally makes it an appealing target.

innuendo Studios has a playlist on Gamergate (specifically the attacks on anita sarkesian) that might give you some insight into the entire ordeal of Video Games and the people who get angry about diversity in them. It's called "Why are you so Angry?" and each video is about 10 minutes long. From personal experience, I can say that it mostly is teenage men who didn't have the forethought to look into evidence that might make them angry, they just got angry. When People asked for diversity, a few bad actors told these teens to be upset and feel attacked, and the teenagers never asked themselves why they were angry about it. It's like a whole thing that can't be explained in a youtube comment.

@@Ghoulicus Speaking of Innuendo Studios, about a year ago he did a recapitulation of the "Why Are You So Angry?" series as a footnote in his "The Alt-Right Playbook" series.

pfffft-haha dude, no. You weren't pulled down the alt-right pipeline. You watched Ben Shapiro, that's it. He's literally, like, the least extreme person on the right you could possibly find.
