Nazis aren't bright. They always think it'll happen to other people. And frankly they're partially right given that a lot of the modern authoritarian white supremacism is tied up in wealth privilege as well. He would probably see employment as the useful idiot.

Nazis are still pretty desperate to find recruits. Hence why they've latched on to neckbeard the waifu pillow crowd. Those people either think this new frog-flavored version of nazism will accept them, or they'll have enough clout in the movement to avoid the knives.

So yeah, they're dumb as gently caress.

I do feel weird pontificating on the motivations of these guys though because I have to admit it's totally loving alien to me.

Like I can't imagine believing that I, in any given situation, would not probably be getting the poo poo end of the stick, and thus politically my goal is to make the lovely end as not lovely as possible.

Whereas all of this lot seem to operate on the principle of climbing over to the other end of the stick and beating someone with the lovely end which, I just can't begin to fathom how you think that's going to work for you. It's never going to happen. Your best practical outcome is that you get to hold the lovely end while someone else beats you and a bunch of other people with it and pretend like you've got any control over it.

The best example of that is that video of that tweedy kid in his bike helmet and Kekistan flag cape getting physically dunked on by actual white supremacist who yell at him to get the gently caress outta here because he's making them look bad while he desperately tries to gather up his Pepe placards, literally crying "but these are good memes!"

I've just finished the Buzzfeed piece on Milo and I'm even more confused now. He's a gay man married to a black guy that flirts openly with nazis. Before I told myself "he's in it for the money and attention", but it's pretty clear that he was super friendly with an all out nazi outside of his work-related stuff. I imagine him having a jolly email back and forth, talking about nazi poo poo with his nazi friend, while his black husband was sleeping next to him. The gently caress did he think was gonna happen if his friends ever truly got into power?
I could understand when I thought it was 100% about money, but now it seems he believed in it too.

probably money and "fame" and him being a opportunistic as gently caress. he probably does believe it to an extent but he also believes he is safe and can make money off the mercers and make money of his rube fanboys. i mean look how much money these assholes make just per video in some cases.

Kyle is still around and making videos on youtube, but he left CA a long time ago.

I remember that one too. Part of why I liked the guy honestly, a lot of his work was just him plus some good editing and scripted bits, just a genuinely charismatic person with a knack for funny.

Also why I liked Wrestle Wrestle.

it sucks. his old stuff is still good. but he is gone now. he spends time writing depressing poo poo as his loving dog on twitter. or he does a stream and is either dead silent or legit SCREAMING in rage and banning people. his dedicated fan base is gone, his reddit has been replaced by gawkers and sad ex fans watching the train wreck.

Milo's main motivators are money and negative attention. How much of his act is real vs. calculated is almost irrelevant. He's willing to make racist/nazi statements, willing to devote his life to those causes, incite riots etc. so he's an awful and dangerous person either way.

Alaska is kind of the same way but swap money and negative attention. also alaska sucks at the making money part. He is 100% going to be a stand-up comedian or youtube sjw or some other useless poo poo in a few years.

I totally get this and it was the extent of my opinion before the buzzfeed piece. What I can't quite grasp is why he was legit friends with a neo nazi outside of his "work", when no cameras were on him and those convos would never (lol) be made public. I can only assume that he drank too much of the kool aid, started truly believing in his vile poo poo, then went home to his black husband and... turned his brain off or something.

I also recognize there is no functional difference between saying all this poo poo and actually believing all of it; a nazi is a nazi is a nazi. I just didn't think he actually believed it.

And on the 5th it will be forgotten like Jade Helm Texas Walmart death camps.
