Part of the issue is also applying pure logic to social principles without taking into account any social or historical context.

Thus,

racism is bad ->
all racism is equally bad ->
jokes about white tears are just as bad as racist jokes about black people ->
lefties are hypocrites for condemning the latter but not the former ->
therefore lefties don't really care about racism

might be a logical train of thought if "black" and "white" were abstract categories of people, rather than real communities of people existing in the context of hundreds of years of slavery, Jim Crow, and racism.

Don't know about your dude, but the internet is chock full of clueless 20-something white guys who will act superiour because they are rational and always base their emotions on logic, except they don't, they just act like anything they already agree with is the logical choice and thus right, and are too retarded to realize that they're doing it.

it's also worth noting that before he went to jail and met his new buddies he was, while still a massive prick, more a vaguely liberal freedom-of-speechey type

radicalization is a hell of a drug

According to weev his prison friends were Nigerian criminals. I don't think he was making friends with aryan shot callers, it's just that being put in prison crystallized his hate of the American government and african-americans.

Bass Break here is an obvious beat off session, which is funny because the whole point is to make you feel bad about being tittilated because reducing complex people to mere sexual objects is wrong. The heroic struggle involves overcoming the demonic urge to indulge in base instincts, in order to love people for who they are instead of hate or covet them for what they are. His evaluation is purely based on his own sense of personal taste and what the show made him feel, and it lacks anything more than a surface level understanding of the material - which is why he's larping Warhammer Fantasy in his own brand art. He enjoys the visceral experience, but has nothing to say about the narrative intent, and really doesn't even care to try and understand what it's saying.

It's the same drat pattern. They argue about something, he's intentionally hurtful until she loses it, then he claims she's being emotional and therefore has ceded the argument to him, the Calm Rational Thinker. I don't talk to him anymore, but I feel bad for their daughter.

What people said about the "dumb kids thinking it's a joke" is on track but it's more complicated than that.

It's a common tactic for terrorist groups or murderers to recruit members / accomplices by throwing something a little extreme out into conversation to see how the people react. If they react badly, the recruiter moves on. If the person seems interested, they slowly start amping up the ideas until they culminate in action. This is how Eric recruited Dylan and tried to recruit their other friend for the Columbine massacre. Eric constantly talked about murder and wanting people to die but everyone besides himself and Dylan thought he was joking.

None of that will be a surprise to anyone here though. We always knew that the nazi "jokes" were anything but. I think there are many lovely "anti-sjw" edgelord teens who thought things were ironic, but still agreed with the spirit of the movement.

I'm not sure that Cville caused them to realize it had gone "too far" or was "actually real" or something. They had already gleefully engaged in and celebrated violence on the streets for months before. But Cville was horrible enough, and society reacted badly enough to remind them that there are consequences. The follow-up punch of Boston, a complete and utter rout by thousands of counterdemonstrators humiliated them and depicted them as weak (a fascist sin) and outnumbered. They had been forced out of their consequence-free playground of poo poo and they lost interest, probably feeling black-pilled and returning to videogames.

The scary takeaway is that if they felt as though there were no consequences for taking part in the movement, they would have continued to do so. And perhaps, if society degrades enough to excuse open white supremacist street violence and lynch mobs again, they'll close VRchat and dust off their pepe shirts to go out and play.

Generally a good rule of thumb, beyond the obvious poo poo like anything suggesting special forces is the more medals, the more likely you got a fake.
