In their newest Smocaine video on youtube, Sam Hyde is barely in it.

I think Sam Hyde has lost his tether to reality.

Sam Hyde, like Baked Alaska, is what happens when you do too much internet.

It's weird how similar him and LBJ are in terms of domestic awesomeness vs foreign policy terribleness.

It isn't even necessarily "too much internet," he just thought that white men were really oppressed when normal people hated his standup schtick and went full fascist.

I'm convinced that the alt-rights oversized presence in internet is basically all russian cyber-ops, so this didn't surprise me.

Compare the actual real world turnout of these guys, versus the vice comments section, or most anything on Reddit.

There's certainly a component to it. Look at Breitbart's alexa traffic. It couldn't be more obvious that they've been renting bots.

it's just old fashioned invasions like when SA was relevant and did goonrushes

Cooking the books on trafficking metrics is one thing, but they don't need bots for Nazi NEETS to spam comments sections. They think it's praxis.

I'm not saying that nazi neets aren't a factor.

But here's the thing: people are more likely to do something, if they think it's popular. Which you can do with upvoting or viewer bots or whatever.

You create a false impression of peer support to drive behavior. Its all smokes and mirrors, but on the internet, that's all you need.

There's no other explanation for how lop-sided it is. SA is fine, because :10bux:, but the brigading is too real, and too extreme everywhere else.

And a lot of social media sites know about the bots and don't care because they make the numbers go up.

i dont think internet fascists are a creation of the russians. there have been internet fascists as long as there has been an internet. there have always been plenty of ideological white supremacists (in addition to ordinary old racist white people) since shortly before europeans arrived in america. let's not make excuses

vice did a profile of the car terrorist based on what we know and it all but confirms that he is a vanilla isis 4-chan incel

https://news.vice.com/story/how-the-charlottesville-attacker-became-radicalized

quote:

One of Fields’ former middle school classmates, Caitlin Robinson, told The New York Times that Fields would “scream obscenities, whether it be about Hitler or racial slurs” and “wasn’t afraid to make you feel unsafe.” She also described him as “an outcast.”

quote:

Since the attack on Saturday that killed 32-year-old Heather Heyer, Fields’ family members and neighbors have painted a similar portrait of the young man with the media: clever but troubled.

quote:

In 2015, he tried to join the U.S. military before flunking out after just four months of basic training, the Army and records confirmed to VICE News. After his brief stint in the military, Fields worked for a security company called Securitas, according to CNN, where he made $650 every two weeks.

quote:

The day before Fields attended the “Unite the Right” event protesting the removal of a Robert E. Lee monument, he asked his mother to watch his cat. Despite her thinking he was just attending a Trump rally, his Facebook profile, later captured by Buzzfeed, revealed alt-right imagery, like Pepe the Frog.

doesn't mention it in this article but he also hit and abused his mother after she asked him to stop playing video games so much

eugenics was a progressive idea originally. That's one part of the D'souza bullshit that's not actually made up, they thought it was a way to help cure illnesses and poverty. Social workers are still taught about it as an example of the failures of social sciences sometimes.
