I’m typically very against the “everything is racist” mindset. However, the points made are very hard to deny. Anyone finding themselves denying it after an hour long of “coincidences” is in denial.
The part that sells me on this theory is that two of the founders are pretentious hipsters who met arguing over literature. Those kind of people aren't the same old saggy men who just want easy money, these are the exact type of people who want everything they create to have a double meaning. Their ARG proves they can go to extreme lengths to make hidden messages, it's almost a stretch to assume there aren't hidden messages in the BAYC. The true mystery is whether the creators are unironic radicals or doomer trolls. Because as a doomer troll myself, I love comparing biggers to apes in memes. Just in general it's important to play devil's advocate because discussion has widdled down to nothing that even the people with the correct beliefs have those beliefs for the wrong reasons.
lmao the Q annon slogan was "How many coincidences before mathematically impossible?". Its a logical fallacy and is used all the time in conspiracy theories.
The most insidious part is that's it's impossible to talk about without sounding insane and if you make a descriptive mistake, you'll immediately be written off as crazy.
one of the creator's a Jew and they argue a banana shuriken's a swastika. Just another outrage farming content they also dumped on the people that got sold by the narrative and walked away with minimum 300k USD. By dump btw I mean they literally printed copies, sent it to themselves, sold on opensea, set high fees along with it. entire thing was a cash grab
@@tony_5156 Look into the group Alice and Wonderland, they literally had their own blockchain for selling CP NFT's. It was actually really advanced stuff compared to what we see with safenet nft projects, and it being so well made proved that it was made by a group of PhD level professionals. It was taken down, but no one was ever really figured out who made it, all that was done was targeting the hosts.
@@barodrinksbeer7484 That’s so weird and shady, I’m hard pressed to name one good thing that has come out of the blockchain, it’s all negative. All the hate against them is 100 percent deserved.
Chat saying it's a reach, bruh look how elaborate 4chan can be with their jokes/trolls, they played capture the flag over the world, also with finding kidnapped people, and a lot more. I do believe that they can do this and even more.
Most of these points alone could just be disregarded as a coincidence, but all of them together just shows that this is beyond a coincidence. For example Banana shurikens by themselves are nothing but with all of the other stuff added it starts to become more and more suspicious.
There was only one good point made (the logo), all other points where absolute dogshit. Just because you make multiple bs points don't make a difference. Multiply 0 by 1000 and still get 0.
I'm convinced that chat cannot comprehend sentences, they're literally spamming random emotes until a certain word is said and they instantly take it out of context and all spam the same emote
People spamming “Stop pausing” when xqc is trying to give his opinion on the topic, are the same people complaining about xqc’s reactions not having any originality to them.
i honestly dont understand why people get annoyed when a streamer is pausing a video, they can literally watch the same video with just a couple of clicks
well these ppl have no real life experience and sit 24/7 on twitch not for a person/streamaer but just to waste their miserable life and time until they go to sleep, wake up and repeat
Fucking impressive xQc, I respect that you understand how showing all the "reaches" builds a foundation to show the larger picture. It's esoteric and you seem to genuinely understand, good on you man.
That's kind of the problem though. They're still reachers and make for a bad foundation. If I claim: __"monkaS is a hidden racist dogwhistle hidden from normal users and only visible by using a software ... and that is proven by the fact that monkaS is based on the PePe meme from 4chan ... and here is an image of a racist Pepe used on 4chan ... why would Twitch Chat know of this meme if they were not racist ... and why hide it untill you solve the puzzle by installing BTTV?" __ that kind of makes for a bad foundation for my theory that Twitch Chat is actually designed for Nazis to exchange messages in plain sight.
@@sblbb929 but it's not a reach, it's too well planned and the references are the exact type of thing a terminally online Chan user is gonna do. Fuck dude just look at the bayc symbol. That shut is intentional.
@@nicktallon628 youre not wrong. Starting the video you could see every chatter after the first couple points being made spam "what!?!?!?" "????" so many ppl adamantly defending and arguing for the integrity of pictures of apes... apes that not any of them even own lol
They are in insane denial. They are in denial because they have preemptively judged way before the video started. This thing with Bored Ape is not something new either. Capitalism has had a history with fascism.
Seeing chat consider anything requiring deeper thought (or a willingness to go along with an idea) as schizo mode or not worth considering is the exact reason cryptofascism and dogwhistles work and are so difficult to fight against.
Yeah tbh it makes all the other stuff even more believable. Like if they can be that clever and dedicated then the other shit was definitely not a coincidence.
@@thatonedude6596 i was thinking the same thing, if this whole art project thing was such a reach why did they have such an intense and deep puzzle for their ARG like the average nft bro is a fucking moron who are they trying to appeal to lol
The community came together to solve it at the time. People who have experience in decoding ciphers are able to recognize some of the provided puzzles relatively easily, but ultimately the whole puzzle and collection of ciphers used was a very impressive creation in general and some of them took notably more time to crack.
@@jayjaytetley9289 That seems unlikely to me (a software engineer with extensive experience), as I doubt many (if any) people with legitimate qualifications in cryptography assisted with a puzzle like this. Many of these ciphers and methods used to obfuscate information are well known outside of people who study the intricacies of cryptographic technology which has a heavy foundation in math nowadays. None of ciphers used in the puzzle are commonly used in modern cryptography and the knowledge required to solve many of the puzzles is well understood by many people with no history in software or cryptography. My point is very simply that decoding basic ciphers which are not actually used to encrypt sensitive data is quite different than having qualifications such as a degree in the field of cryptography.
I wasn't buying it, but the fact that they made that elaborate video game that you had to decipher makes it more believable that they would sprinkle a bunch of racist dog whistles into their projects. I think chat underestimates how much nazis especially on 4chan love their code words and dog whistles.
The new generation of the internet people lives in the surface with their "Ignorance is bliss" mindset and it's fine that way. Def not when shit starts going down though, but what could go wrong right?
The fun thing is that Philion and Ryder went on to make their own NFT collection called RR BAYC which is the same monkeys with the same racist traits.... with this information this genuinely just feels like an overcomplicated PR stunt than anything
I like how the ape hand part was immediately discredited from chat and then when he backed it up with evidence everyone is aware, proving the point if ur not read up on a topic u can call it bullshit
@@immabrownie8750 Not the person you mentioned, but I think they mean that they are happy that some people out there are able to read between the lines, and understand how symbolism works. Many people have been sold that if the evidence is not physical or written down explicitly, then it is not credible, but this is exactly how you fool people. Some know how to extract information that is not evident in the situation itself. Other people have a really hard time with abstraction. I used to be one of them to some extent.
the same type of people who watched the entire johnny depp/amber heard trial and then said “there’s no proof she lied”. like did you close your eyes the whole time ???
Idk, i get that there are obvious nazi implications but nazis have been used as an edgy joke since the early modern warfare lobby days. This just seems like another edgy joke just with way more layers
@@daltontedford6077 yeah but the video uses words like “dogwhistle” as if theres this growing underground nazi regime lmao. When we all know its just some fat redditors being edgy
The video is disgusting and manipulative. It is an naked and unhinged attempt to push a tinfoil hat theory on something that is nothing more than a harmless troll
@@wilthewise2277 I agree, the ending was cringeworthy, though the rest seemed interesting at the very least. It sorta sounds like a dumb conspiracy theory, but at the same time a fun one
The difference between reaching and what this youtuber did is that he stated a bunch of coincidences that all lead to the same point and he did not add up a bunch of coincidences to a "reach". He did not say 1=2 so 2=3 so 3=4 (reach)... He said 1=2, 1=2, 1=2, 1=2 so maybe 1 actually equals 2 (adding coincidences to add strength to the argument). He stated this in the first minute when he said how many coincidences will it take you to believe me.
@@saintsavage1335 All I said is that there are many coincidences (the poster of the video said the same). I am not 100% convinced... but there are many coincidences which technically can be called evidence. Is it clear and obvious evidence? No... but it definitely is surprising how many coincidences there seems to be. And it is easy to believe that at least some of this was intentional.
the only thing is the logo, that is really fucking hard to say its a coincidence. The rest is taking a billion things about BAYC and Nazi's, and noticing how they have a couple similarities, meaning that they are the same.
@@ohboydiamonds true. I am not totally convinced but the founders activity on 4chan, their backgrounds in general, combined with these coincidences adds credibility to the argument that they would be motivated to hide these potentially racist elements. Who knows... I will let the social justice warriors go crazy on this one.
@@ohboydiamonds It isn't because humans have 32 teeth, ape have 32 teeth and for some reason this bored ape has 18 teeth which is also a number glorified by Nazi culture. Stop huffing the copium or just come out as an NN.
Chat wants so bad for this to be a reach but literally the first point the guy made in the video pretty much confirms that it’s racist. He has a whole hour of research that ties perfectly together to prove it’s racist but nah it’s all just a reach because not everything is racist
There are so many fucking times in this video where he proves shit and straights up shoves info and evidence in the viewers face, to the point where the fucking creators of bored Ape are quoting fucking Nazis... And chat still spams "OMG REACH?????????SO REACHY?????GUYS HES REACHING, I'M A SMOL BRAIN".
This just goes to show, how far do people have to go to show the truth behind things that are right under their noses? Or even in front of their fucking eye's. You shouldn't expect shit from twitch chat, it's not their fault, they're there to be entertained. But imagine how people outside of Twitch react to shit so obvious as this.
Let's be real, some of it was kinda of a reach.. but it has some good points. And anyway the main point is: who gives a fuck?, "oh wow some guys made cryptic bad shit that is completely useless!", literally nothing comes out of putting nazi cryptic shit like in this case, are they going to seek world domination by it? no, are they putting nazi propaganda out there trying to influence people? no. If they wanted to rally the white supremacists there are thousands of better ways to do so, the only thing this confirms is that they are silently trolling everyone, at the end they will be like "haha you used nazi symbols and cryptic numbers you weren't aware of, gottem lol!", and people will be like "oh nyoo i didn't mean it sorry everyone!".. and that's it.
People don't like it when they're faced with the truth it messes with their idea that society is safe and no one thinks like this anymore. Honestly I feel bad for people like that because when they face something that breaks their mental they will snap.
Terrible video. Your average person would be completely lost, and it really does come across as schizo conspiracy shit. Pretty much every point he made could easily be disputed or dismissed.
The puzzle illustrates how far the creators will go to hide things. The fact that a randomly generated ape #1488 would just so happen to have that prison jumpsuit with that year on it is close to 0% when you consider the number of possible traits. Add in the logo itself being essentially a 1-for-1 replication of the Totenkopf it is very obvious these guys are trolls that intentionally put racist imagery into this project. Sick stuff if you ask me.
yeah theres 10k of them, the number means nothing if its randomly generated which you said yourself. he had to remove numbers to find his link. its a garbage take
@@bookrokodil but you're ignoring that zero padding is a widely used concept and the fact that there are so many other links solidifies this. I disagree. It is a very solid point
@@kayjay2094 nope you just listened to someone who's been in a vendetta against yuga make things up and you believed them at face value. not only that they have been in litigation since before this all came out. most of them dont even make sense. zero always has a value, just because some random code uses padding doesnt mean thats what you are doing. I guarentee this buffoon just typed 1987 nazi into google and looked for whatever he could find as proof Oh they quoted hemmingway, and a jewish writer and nazi code breaker! omg a dogwhistle! omg one of the creators wrote a thesis on one of the greatest spanish series that takes place after ww2 and has a murderous nazi! DOG WHISTLE! oh wait no context for the thesis? better make it seem like he wants to write about evil right wingers instead of a novel based on real life. somehow an orange drink represents a red pill. they said yuga labs is named after a villian in a zelda game? nah its after kali yuga, hindu mysticism! cowabunga is a meme thats existed for a while! its a nazi dog whistle! A monkey with a captain hat is wearing a hawaiian shirt?! hes a Boogaloo nazi! Come on my guy, at least look into the claims before defending them these arent coincidences, hes flinging terds so see what sicks and yall are eating it up
@@bookrokodil You're embarrassing yourself. That is so statistically improbable that it could almost be considered impossible. I can't imagine your grades in math class if you thought these are all randomly generated. I'm sure #6969 is a coincidence too :)
XQC's braindead chat has such short term memory loss that they could only react to every point individually News flash juicers, esoteric means you'd only understand if you were the intended audience, of course each point is going to be obscure and plausibly deniable as coincidence. When you staple them all together and it reads like a book you'd have to be freezer IQ to say the pages don't have a coherent plot.
Seeing by the game they've created, the creators of this nft are very intelligent and seem to like this sort of stuff, encryption and hidden things. After seeing the game they created, there is no doubt in my mind that all of this is intentional. Also the at 40:48 analog,Nassau, salute, weapon, embryo, reason. Nassau is a town in Germany, but also a German battleship, so salute, weapon, Nassau, might have more meaning as well.
I think a bigger tell is that all these guys are super big story writers and lore buffs that are super proud of the story they created with the bored apes despite how dogshit the actual story for the apes themselves are.
That goes back into the Q and A that Gargamel had with Coindesk, he spoke about Iceberg theory, which essentially states that there is a lot more going on underneath than what the eye can see. It's like some serial killer leaving clues for the detectives to find.
@@snakezula Yup, it's called symbolism and the elite have been using them forever. Which is why we are not taught it in the public education system. Symbolism, which is learned about in the Arts and Humanities, have been demonized in an industrialized economic culture, while marketing more STEM degree options.
The chatters writing "????" are exactly the normies that 4chan makes fun of and uses for it's trolling. There's a Russian saying that goes "The less you know, the better you sleep", and I really envy people that can just dismiss anything and go on with their life without ever questioning the shit that goes on around them. Of course you don't wanna be full on tinfoil hat and think there are lizard people, but there are WAY too many coincidences for anything to be random, especially considering the 4chan links. Normie trolling at the S tier.
Those normies are exactly the ones that communities like 4chan pray on to get their laughs. If you moved around /b/, but mostly on /pol/. You know what this shit is accurate and most likely true.
people also say Ignorance is bliss. This all reminds me of the Vsauce video about thursdayism and how it is not possible to know if the world was created last Thursday but you can sort of disprove it with philosophical razors like newtons laser sword. Assuming that all the examples shown in the video are a reach is delusional and totally goes against it.
Its funny in a way, and I 100% agree with you. Even in your comment (which I doubt was intentional) was a dogwhistle that neo nazi's made with the term "lizard people". It's crazy how many small things in our society have racist history or are euphemisms for the alt right (for example: master bedroom. Look up the history on that one.)
I also fully believe a certain amount of the chatters spamming stuff like "???" "STRETCH" and "pepega" are actually alt-righters who are trying to damage control the video and convince people it's all stupid.
@@tavish2789 That's where we come in and learn what they know. They didn't find this stuff in the public school system, I'll tell you that. But getting into art and symbolism is a start, and then learning about esotericism.
Something really cool this actually does is bring back the video to be searchable again on youtube, giving it visibility, would never know about it if it wasn't for this upload
Most people are very blind to old internet culture and live on a very surface level of consumption online. Even having grown up on the internet in the early 2000s, things were a lot different and really made you toughen up in a sense. Now it just seems like everyone expects everyone else to have the same concept of what they're viewing online, and not taking a second to think about what they're consuming. I ended up in some fucked up parts of the internet as a young kid, and maybe it's just because I got so used to seeing and understanding the twisted mindset of deep rooted "trolling" that it doesn't surprise me, and I almost expect other people to understand it as well. But at the end of the day, it really doesnt mean anything if you understand it or not. The people that do this type of thing are so stuck in their own world that they feed off of simply knowing they're doing something others don't understand, and they'll continue doing it to make themselves feel different and part of a special group. If you understand it and are not part of that group, it can honestly just be annoying.
STG Twitch chat people might be bottom of the barrel when it comes to personal awareness and intelligence. Actually the dumbest & most oblivious people alive
xqc's comment about how someone could sneak this stuff into a game actually happened a few years back. bungie let an artist go after they snuck the kekistani flag into some hunter armor.
reminds me of Magic the Gathering banning their “Invoke Prejudice” card after they realized it was made by a neonazi, with the card # being 1488 and the art being KKK inspired
That's whole thing with modern neo nazi shit. Everybody smarter than that trailer trash ranting about Jewish people knows you can't just spell it out. The whole is to be sneaky with it. You can just say "Bla bla Jewish people are evil bla Bla". That's why use esoteric and dogwhistle. It's to hide.
I don’t know how it’s possible but chat was somehow more shit then usual in this video. “Reaching”, as its barley 10 minutes into a hour video and the guy explicitly said it would sound like he was reaching until he could start to build a more solid case later on in the video.
It’s so obvious that she is lying She’s not socially akward like someone like Joaquin phoenix, she’s just lying. Basic understanding of body language bruv, watch 1 episode of CSI.
It's funny how even when being shown all of this, they STILL think it's a reach. These people are not the kinds to have coincidences. They need their egos stroked. They are too ill to allow something to get through.
seems like you were the one fooled, its called selective bias, theres tons of info to disprove this allegation but Phillion didnt show any of that cause it doesnt fit his agenda :)
@@Sk8forsocks Lmao, you sound like an absolute fool who has no idea what selective bias is. You should probably google a term before using it. Phillion's video contained evidence beyond a reasonable doubt and pretty much crushed any possible cases of plausible deniability.
What most people dont seem to realise is that he is not saying that the yatch club are a bunch of racist, I think the point made is, those guy as stated in the video have an edgy humor making jokes about nazism (the book referenced as the main theme of one of the founders thesis makes fun of the nazis), and being the writers they were, they created a lore through those images, names and numbers, so the joke is they are getting rich selling their monkeys to people who understands the messeges and at the same time they are trolling celebrities and normies into buying racist stuff in a political correct age. they are trolling everyone
As a German with more knowledge on these numeric codes and understanding of old nazi symbols, their similarities are kind of blatandly obvious lmao wtf
Right? I went into this feeling so skeptical. Like yeah right, a bunch of rappers bought alt-right merch, give me a break. By the end? Holy crap. Circumstantial evidence, by itself, doesn't hold up in a court of law. A mountain of circumstantial evidence this large? That's when it becomes irrefutable. There's no way this is all a wacky coincidence.
If you've been on 4chan, especially when the alt right shit peaked in 2013-2015, none of this will surprise you. Schrodinger's racism is just everywhere, it's almost mainstream imo. Call it out and it's just a joke, you're being hysterical. Play along and now we know you're cool, we can say what we really feel. Even people who claim to be moderate will say some depraved shit on the dl with their alt accounts or wherever they're anonymous.
True, its still really weird seeing chat spamming "reach" when there are like 40 different unique racist symbols and dogwhistles. Sure bro thats random
Monkey paws are literally one of the most basic items in fictional game/movies. It's supposed to grant wishes. This guy is reaching and full of shit that normies are going to believe because they're scared of the hacker known as 4chan. It's literally not that deep.
Assuming all of this is true, at the end he’s basically asking everyone who has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into the NFT to destroy it. Even if it’s a huge mockery, most people are willing to sweep it to keep their money
I think if this "movement" or whatever gets enough traction, mainstream media will be scared of any slight price drop in the NFT and rug pull the whole fucking thing and it will destroy itself, but the planets gotta align
And that's probably what the creators behind this wanted and know what would happen, even if this is true there's no way people are going to throw all their money down the can. So they'll get away with this no matter what as long as it reached a certain amount of money and it already did.
It’s funny how the only people defending this are people that own NFTs, bored apes or not, because they’re trying so desperately to prove that what they spend their hard earned money on is more than a troll/scheme.
The irony of XQC's chat laughing at the lol = joke thing while they can't say anything without adding LULW or OMEGALUL on the end. It's the exact same thing.

He could have focused on the big ones like the logo the names the hats of the apes and the only interview out there to get his point across then have a link to all the evidence. This video lacked structure and was a total mess but it does get a point across
actually look at any of the points other than the one about the logo, its all insane reaches. "Cowabunga" = racist; Fez , pickelhaube, etc = nazi hats; Macaque = racist because some governor called a guy macca in 1980? These points were utterly insane drivel, the only way anyone thinks any of it has any credibility is by spamming it one after another so nobody has time to digest what stupidity was just said to them.
@@nwa8169 Th beginning of the video is him literally saying “how many coincidences have to happen for you to believe this shit” and then goes on to talk about like 40 of those “coincidences.” The hat thing is red flags aside from the Soviet hat and Fez, which are just to show that this is rooted in 4Chan alt-right culture, which is inundated with that. Plus it’s unfortunate how xQc was covering up the text that said how it’s specifically a red J that was put on Jewish documentation, which is almost the exact same shade as the one on the hat. Plus Kamikaze pilots being popularized in WWII. And also, 4Chan absolutely LOVES using random ass words as dog whistles. Surfing is surf the Cali yuga, and cowabunga is a popular term in surfing culture, which is why they use it. For Macaque, the clip was an example it’s a literal slur. That’s like saying “well your only proof the n word is a slur is a video of someone saying it? Sounds like a reach” All of the answers to the ciphers and puzzles having double meanings being related to apes and also 4Chan neo nazi shit? Nah just a coincidence (Aperol is a drink sold almost exclusively in Germany, after WWII, not really a good look in the context here, but I mean his red-pilled theory is.. okay, I guess..?) How far does someone have to reach for them to have actually grasped what was being reached for? Because I think if this video hadn’t started with the baseline of slightly lib workings, a lot of people would be willing to put aside their fragile anti-SJW egos and actually look at the mountains of “strange coincidences.”

Again this isn't a coincidence, this is drawing something from nothing with no link. The joker in the helmet is far more likely to be a reference to the peace helmets used by some that were drafted against their own wishes into the war, look at "vietnam war peace helmet" images. If they had used the ace of spades, then this clown would link that to racism against the vietnamese.
He's calling them to action, but chat cannot comprehend the possibility of a world that is not perfect in which they are not coddled and right all the time.
Gotta love how quickly chat took a complete 180 when they saw the logo comparison.. just goes to show that you should always pay close attention to detail and never jump to conclusions even when said conclusion seem to be obvious.
i somewhat understand why they call some things a reach. some points in the video are undeniable and some could just be explained by confirmation bias, like the founders girlfriend having cowabunga in their instagram bio.. like what??
that’s the point he’s making though, that name is purposefully chosen so that link is established, then if someone calls it out for being racy, they can just immediately fall on the story that they named it after the Zelda character, every aspect is designed to make it so that you look crazy if you call them out

the evolution of culture is fucking wild man. "kek" was originally just a direct cypher of "lol", because in world of warcraft, typing "L-O-L" would show up as "K-E-K". (It was originally an abbreviation of laughing in korean but blizzard putting it into WoW is what made it popular.) The kinds of people who played wow back in the day were the proto-terminally-online crowd, the kinds of people who frequented 4chan and the like. So kek started being used there, and skip to a few years later, now all the original people who associated kek with WoW are gone and most channers just know it from being on 4chan. 4chan becomes synonymous with alt-right, and now "kek" has been bastardized into a cryptofacist dogwhistle instead of something you spammed to the campers at tauren mill. What once was good fun, and now there is none. edit: i didnt know he explained it in the video but it's still crazy to think about
Maybe but also it’s been taken back. There was a time when Pepe was almost lost to 4chan fascists and kek still survives as KEKW and other kek related emotes on twitch
The only word that i can remember being taken from 4chan fascist is the word "based". Originaly used as a way to communicate agreement in 4chan's esoteric dogwhistles was used ironically by people who understood it and openly mocked them by calling "based and redpilled" any idiotic or absurd statement making the people who used it unironically seem dumb and it evolved into a word that anyone on the internet uses on the same level to saying "TRUE" to a post
before even opening her mouth you can tell she's a bit weird. the fact that chat were question marking xqc when he said she seemed off just shows how ignorant or socially inept a lot of them are
If that giveaway puzzle was real, and the depth it went into. It proves these people are smart and have depth to there thought. It would be dumb to think they wouldn’t have ANY symbolism in the monkey art
except there are, might not call themselves mods but they ban people posting illegal things. even legal but very extreme things people have been banned for
@@alexanderrydell8612 And that cesspool is a crucible of ideas. Only logically sound ideas survive there because of no censorship, no matter how much you disagree. You might also tell me 'hahaha, 4chan is logically sound? give me a break!' Yes, a lot of the things discussed on the various boards of 4chan have a tendency to be better reasoned than whatever drivel shows up on twitter, fb, and reddit, because they get tested against all other ideas instead of flourishing because of censorship.
There's an old saying. "If a tree falls in the woods, and nothing is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" I feel like that applies here.. I can't imagine the creators ever thought it would be a billion+ dollar project, but damn how sweet it's going to be to watch NFTs crash BEFORE the Easter eggs are found.. Everything after that is just levels of satisfaction until the lawsuits.
This video was actually true and you should open your eyes. Ppl attach themselves to think they like and are interested in. And SOME PPL ARE SICK IN THE HEAD AND WANT TO BE OBVIOUS BUT THINK YOURE TOO OBLIVIOUS TO ACTUALLY THINK OTHERWISE.
@@mystic95 if u watched that video through and still call it tinfoil hat shit thn ur the one trolling. either that or ur the prime canidate that these people wish eveyone thought like. "hmm everything they do is some weird cryptic naz.i refrence hmmm... coincidence i guess..."
@@demoninveins jordan peterson is an altright figure, but he isn’t really altright himself. same goes for joe rogan. alex jones is the only one of the “trinity” i’d say is probably altright himself
yuuup. thought ab watching it from the perspective of an ape owner, what else are you supposed to do other then keep trolling? they really just outted themselves here tho by speaking LMAO
I think xqc's take is pretty good. Alone depending on what thing you point to can be written off as a coincidence but when it begins to repeat in a consistent manner it becomes pretty suspicious and to not have the slightest of suspicion is kinda dumb.
Yeah that was one of the most bizarre reaches in the video. I guess if you have no exposure to philosophy at all, you might just think "Oh that's a German sounding name, and look he's been photographed with Hitler according to this google search... case closed!"
if you say this video is a bunch of "massive reaches" then you're either an edgy 15 year old kid with ADHD or you're willingly being ignorant about it, the guy made a lot of good points and built it up one step at a time unraveling each one of his points before moving on to another, the whole thing can't be a coincidence it's too deliberate
Dog whistles are fun , so long as they're busy coming up with new and more absurd ones and we keep decoding them then no one will have time to invade Poland .
20:14 Wittgenstein's reference to having 1 year in the same class or school as Hitler is irrelevant since Wittgenstein's is one of the greatest philosophers ever.
The fact that people watched the Virginian Polotician and fucking shamed him and didn't believe a word he said, AS WELL AS THE FUCKING CO FOUNDER GIRL lolllllllll Then turned around and said EVERYTHING else is a reach shows how common sense amongst the younger population is stuggling to stay aflame lol
yep it's tinfoil dogshit. Just go watch any illuminati conspiracy video. Same amount of "coincidences" or just straight up factually wrong streches. Must be true aswell
@@sblbb929 It's a sheer coincidence you're able to decipher this comment or that you survived past the age of 3 with that vacuous hole in your brain. Nahh. Can't be a real human.
Glad I trusted my gut with nfts it's too fishy if u want a nft just get a csgo skin it has it's own values that cant be recreated. Plus it's probably one of the safest digital arts u can own at a consumer level
One might think that “this or that” is a reach .. but after realizing the depth that the creators went through in order to simply create their puzzle, it’s not hard to believe that everything else mentioned in the video is actually highly plausible
I think Philion should have started with a more convincing point so people don't watch the video under the assumption that it's a reach. The monkey point alone is a little weak. The logo is the most convincing part for me
tbh the most convincing part for me was the fact that one of the creators wrote a college essay on a literal nazi. its always the weird history buff dudes who do this shit
The logo, puzzle key words and 1488 nft hit the most. When you think about the rest with that in mind (except for bananas and maybe yuga) it kinda fits. You can say that it's reaching, but trolling on internet doesnt always go with logic. 2 points make a line, and this one is going somewhere.
