The 90s was the era of adolescent edgelordism, and you can trace much of the alt-right directly to it. My pet theory is that the End of History zeitgeist kind of drove people mad, creating a counterweight where anything critical of the bland status quo came across as bold and intelligent, even if it was monstrously antisocial.

A huge chunk of 90's and even early 00's adolescent edgelordism/counter-culture was explicitly left wing or anarchist though. It is difficult to directly connect it to the alt-right ideologically, but the alt-right now occupy a lot of the same territory or play on the same tropes. I remember EDC, combat boots, questionable self improvement techniques and even prepper stuff like bailout bags being popular with Hacktivists, Antifa and Burning Man types at the time. Both movements were said to be obsessed with conspiracy theories, although the formers main bug bears (corporate power, drone/robot warfare and the surveillance state) were proven true.

I cannot really explain how we went from one to the other, but it seems to have happened in the mid 00's when being offensive and libertarian both became popular. 4chan happened around the same time, but South Park was probably more influential. In either case the popularity of that kind of media is probably just pointing toward some bigger cause. It's kind of interesting that Industrial music died around that time as well, with the last few remaining acts to grow to any size being acts that turned away from their more overtly anti-fascist forebears and doing some really dreadfully sexist and nazi poo poo.

I remember GG being a big part of this. It's when big companies began to more visibly aline themselves to marginal groups at least superficially. Stick it to the man became stick it to the sjw because in there mind the sjws are incharge and any real criticism of the structures of power and capital disappeared because there was no room for that kind of discussion.

i think alot of it started in the chan/trolling grounds. I remember being a teen when i was dumb lonely kid who hung out on troll/chan IRCs(maybe 10 or so years ago) and the right wing poo poo went from "lol it will piss of liberal types' to "lol i believe it fully and it will piss of liberal types". I think alot of it was the inherent want of being the "counter culture" at any cause and stick it to the "moral F&&G" type poo poo. liberal ideals represented the majority and "spoiled" fun. so gently caress it, come and join the nazi party. Yeah some of the Liberals suck rear end but they arnt worth going nazi over. dont become a nazi over loving video game clickbait.

The American education system is designed to condition you so that if you ever see the light, you'll go blind. That is, realize how hosed up capitalism is, and go down the rabbit hole of racism and nativism rather than develop class consciousness.

He did, judging from the pics he bought an Origin pc which is one of the most expensive brands, it had to be shipped in a wooden crate, it sounds like he was just using it to capture the hdmi out from the Xbox which is possibly even sadder

But he says he’ll use it for some stuff that doesn’t involve his console gaming buddies

People speculate that he might be getting divorced or be divorced or something because he hasn't really mentioned his wife in a long-rear end time. I doubt that's the case. Just he doesn't share public details much on the podcast.
