bad parents will always find a way to break their children only difference is that, sadly, "hmm im going to leave this eight year old alone with pewdiepie videos for six hours a day every day" isnt grounds to take their kids away

I do wonder if the alt right traps a lot of people into it because they feel alone, isolated by quite a few on the insane. by the insane tumblr-like SJW's that exist. THIS. DOES. NOT. EXCUSE. BEING. ALT. RIGHT. This does however make me wonder if a lot of people were pushed into this because of it being a reaction to the most toxic involved in Id. Pol movements.

Oh Snapple! posted:this actually is true and not something I'd initially thought about until I read a comment to similar effect. Shits like jontron and pewdiepie inundate kids with a lot of lovely behavior that they pick up solely because it's "cool." I honestly don't think the alt-right would be half as big as it is if it weren't for South Park singlehandedly making casual anti-semitism acceptable again.

Yeah I don't want to defend it, but I see a bit of authoritarian streak in some on the social justice movement. https://twitter.com/AyeshaASiddiqi/status/825112069779251204 This type of poo poo happens for example. Will Wheaton is...a douche. That being said...when even he is being lumped into this fictional strawman people like this wanker i just posted did? Well yeah, that's gonna create more anger, resentment and people running to find their own version of White Id. Pol. Oh Snapple! posted:imo people get pushed into the direction they were already leaning Could also be the case. I grew up in a republican household and I still have those traits pretty much programmed into me admittingly. It's a problem, and it's something that needs to be taken care of.

A guy who I personally can't stand. But these type of people are actually the enemies of social justice because they successfully create opposition figures and push away people (of all backgrounds, not just white) away from their cause.

Manchildren often get really angry at actions having consequences, yes. In general the alt-right always struck me as being buoyed by the reactions of folks running into a sudden inability to do or say whatever the gently caress they want without getting called on it.

get that OUT of my face posted:why are so many youtube personalities tacking hard right Confirmation Bias. There are a shitload of people on youtube, most aren't "hard right" or political at all. In fact the majority of them don't give a gently caress and just want to play with electricity, or shoot poo poo, or talk about math or video games or whatever.

I would think that the Pewdiepie thing, which has more than a sniff of friendly journalists doing hitpieces to help trigger a contract cancellation without reimbursement for a company on shaky financial footing, would be a reasonable cause of concern for a lot of people who derive their income from youtube.

get that OUT of my face posted:why are so many youtube personalities tacking hard right The same reason west coast entertainers tack toward liberal technocratic capitalism as a world saving tonic; they don't have "real" jobs so they have no idea how things function and liberal technocratic capitalists are all over the place in Cali & are nice to them without seeming to want anything or to criticize their lifestyle. Youtube entertainers live on the internet, which is right wing central and leftists don't have a great track record when it comes to speaking nicely to people they don't agree with online. When a Jontron or a Pewdiepie does something truly dumb or ugly the left goes "hey, you're a loving rear end in a top hat; stop being an rear end in a top hat, because you're making the world a worse place," woke liberals begin screeching & pointing like a body snatcher, and the alt-right says "hey man, your only crime was not going far enough. please read these memes about europa and a frog then come hang out with us in hell." So, I mean, if you're a spoiled idiot who receives praise because you talk through your nose about video games for a living, which one of those voices is going to appeal to you the most? mysterious frankie has issued a correction as of 15:54 on Mar 14, 2017 |

But since you asked, the problem with Lena Dunham is that she's rich as hell and represents everything that's wrong with Clintonite democrats. She also seems a bit attention starved, but otherwise nice.

A cool way to kick off some old-fashioned soviet-style purges would be to say something "lena dunham bad" and when someone three days later starts fuming about that and overton windows and twitter, you can brutally execute them
