There is apparently more story behind it.

On reddit, an r/the_donald mod got mad that Tim is against Trump and took down r/Timanderic

Tim responded by making the song in that tweet, and has since been making posts taunting alt-right trolls.

The more I think about it, the more It sounds nearly identical to a speech by a character from "American History X"...it just happens to stop short of using the word "friend of the family".

The alt right isn't even dog whistle. it's pure racism.

Yeah and punk is anti-system which can easily fit into fascist politics if the system is, say, social democratic. And punk also immediately set itself at odds with the hippies, so there was a rightward drift at the start. Though this isn't to castigate punk as this right-wing thing since it's probably 90 percent anarchists, and right-wing punk never exactly produced a Fuhrer.

I do think the problem is that guys like Jello, and a few others were so clearly not in that camp that it does through you through a loop

But going back to Gavin, I don't see this punk rock guy or anarchist that he's trying to portray himself as. I see a tool. A real "punk rock anarcist" wouldn't give a poo poo if someone was transgendered or a women were to seek some sort of career. Now they may call out the latter for being a "comformist", but I imagine they would say the same thing about a man.

Why should he, if he's all about Freedom and all that other things he claim to champion, care about what someone does in the realm of gender identity? I can understand being "weirded" out by it, sure, but I don't understand going out of your way to dress said person down, and then claim they're who they are.

I mean he goes out of his way to describe transgender people, their sexual organs, and all of this other crap. What does he seek these people out? Does he jack it to videos on the internet? Like only someone that is really interested in that stuff would look up the ins and outs of that sort of thing. Thus it makes him come across as even more of a creep.

But yeah, he's not for freedom, he's pretty much on the side of the Nazi punks he supposedly despises.

I think it's most likely, given how 4chan started, that it's just a bunch of anime fans who decides to become nazis, rather than a bunch of nazis deciding anime was just what their movement needed.

It's funny, it took something as extreme as a Donald Trump candidacy for them (the media) to finally do some fact checking. Remember the "(not true)" CNN chyrons? They're not doing that anymore. Preibus must have sent them a pissy email.

Yeah that one thing was really weird and out of place. The comic is all over the place morally with one character using non-passive resistance to defeat an army and another that eats children to gain magical power and everyone looks the other way because they need her. The Israel thing was the only time there was a blatant call out which is why is sticks out so much. It feels like he read something in the news that pissed him off and he couldn't help but cram it in.

Actually, it was implied that the child-eater had moved on and instead of eating living babies drew all magic power from the ritual sacrifice of the unborn as performed in "abortions".

It was just comparatively subtle, compared to the WOW ISRAEL COOL scene.

more or less. Their most infamous example was during the 2012 election they said saying Ryan's plan would 'destroy medicare' or something like it was TECHNICALLY not true because despite gutting and crippling every aspect of it, he'd still CALL it Medicare, so, ya know, there'd still be a thing called Medicare in the world...half true...

IMO this is overwhelmingly the answer, I don't even think it's necessary to analyze the content, the internet-facing wing of the alt-right are just disproportionately huge nerds. It's not like Milo or whasthisname are watching anime in their spare time, it's not a cultural thing, it's just that a bunch of alienated weirdos that are also way into anime have a strange overlap with alt-right politics. No one is like "I'm getting into this new extreme philosophy, and they've really turned me on to Japanese drawings of underage tits".

It's the same reason they're obsessed with masculinity, pornography, science, religion, and "new atheism", that's just the kind of people they are. They live in a hyper-real world of abstract hatreds. The actual skinheads or bros or whatever aren't the ones wasting their lives trolling video game feminists.

I have honestly been wondering if the reason I dislike anime is because I'm somehow a chauvinist, because I have not seen a single one, not movie, not series I can say I liked. The closest to that would have been the Wind Also Rises, which was pretty much non-fiction to begin with.

Hell, the only one I've seen whose character design I didn't loathe was JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, because all characters were drawn grotesquely, and even then I thought it was aggressively mediocre.
