There's also the issue that racist groups have basically infiltrated the gaming community and are using it to recruit new members as well as spread their ideologies.

Speaking as a teenage conservative (though maybe not quite a chud, certainly not a fascist), the only way out of that death spiral is getting shamed and owned until you can't take it anymore. Common sense ceases to function in that context. You need jerked out of it forcibly. If you grow up to be cool PEOPLE WILL FORGIVE YOU. But you've only got a few good years to intervene before the philosophical version of sunk cost fallacy traps them in that mindset forever.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

This is what you can do if a minor around you is being a Nazi: Shame them.

Shame loving works. If it didn't the KKK wouldn't have gone underground after Superman called them weirdo losers.

Shame the gently caress out them. Make it clear under absolutely any circumstances that this poo poo is not ok. Call them pathetic. Tell them they're acting like spoiled children who want to act out for attention. If applicable tell them their grandparents/ancestors didn't fight a war so they could turn into the bad guys. Name a person they admire and tell them they'd be ashamed of their behavior.

If they turn 18-20 and they're still Nazis, then punch their lights out.

Honestly 25 is probably a good cutoff for becoming officially unreachable, or the odds of reaching you so slim they may as well not exist. Miracles do happen, however, but usually not until old age.

This is why I'm kind of hoping burnout hits a lot of these fuckers super hard. Getting boatloads of money and fame super quick at a relatively young age for doing nothing but sitting in a chair twiddling your thumbs and screaming the N-word into a webcam is recipe for disaster. Just look at that kid who earned $200k in e-fame money, bought the most expensive car he could and then drove it the wrong way down the freeway at 150mph until he ploughed into a mother and daughter driving in a minivan because he had brain problems.

Speaking from personal experience, Yeah this does work. I dunno if punching them out is appropriate Also though it's now we are at a point that you not only have to watch who they hang out with at school but online as well.

Corsi has been a mid-level part of the human centipede of right wing conspiracy transmission for a long time. He was a big promoter for Swift Boat Vets for Truth, and was working the Clinton conspiracy grift even back in the 90s. Last I’d seen him a CHUD former friend referenced him as somebody who made YouTube videos explaining Qanon.

He's saying they're good at asking questions in a way that make you think you can lie your way out of them, but they've already got the goods and will gently caress you hard if you actually try to lie your way out of them.

There is a difference between falling for a trap, and entrapment, which is what I think you're talking about.

Its not like the FBI is asking these questions because they honestly don't know the answer, they're asking them cause they know the answer, and want to see if you'll actually admit it. Hence being a trap for anyone who wants to try to talk their way out of it.

also: the oft-cited 'perjury trap' is when you call people in front of a grand jury (or interview them) and ask them questions totally unrelated to the issues you're investigating in hopes they'll lie about that totally unrelated thing (it's actually a defense you can cite if it applies)

just lying to investigators about the thing they're investigating is not that
