It's weird that a couple of you are going nuts over a picture of the Report of the Week kid from "know your meme" of all things. Tried finding that exchange which was obviously supposed to be from youtube, tried every mix and match of keywords and so on, most of the statement there, nothing came up. Tried finding the 4chins thread in the image on archives, nothing was there. The only peep I've ever even heard from them about politics was one time urging people to participate in their local elections.

Gonna be honest here, Sam Hyde is a new name to me. What's his deal?

"In 2017, Hyde reportedly pledged $5,000 towards Andrew Anglin's, the founder and editor of The Daily Stormer, legal defense fund. The Southern Poverty Law Center sued Anglin for allegedly organizing a "troll storm" against a Jewish woman in Montana. When Matt Pearce of the Los Angeles Times questioned Hyde about the donation, Hyde asked Pearce if he was Jewish and went on to say that $5,000 "was nothing" to him."

I've said it before but it's weird, there's something to The Golden One that makes me feel sorry for them almost more than anything, they feel like a dorky rear end LARP'er who could've been a fun person had they not fell down the nazi hole and become what they are. Really that's anyone who gets suckered into the ~alt-right~ poo poo though, a bunch of people who for whatever misguided reasons, bought into propaganda being sold by fuckin hucksters like Spencer and their ilk. I'd like to believe eventually people like this could be deprogrammed like you do with any horrible cult, but until then I keep feeling split, where on one hand they're poo poo and I hate them for letting themselves ever be duped by the nu-nazis in the first place and the other where I wish they could be helped and further people dissuaded from ever going the same way.

Is it just me, or do the alt-right/Neo Nazi-types really love using the term "millennial" in names and things? It seems especially popular among "alt-lite" types who pretend not to be Nazis.

There's most often only two types of use for "millennial" when it's being said unironically, either it's olds whining about THE YOUNGINS being responsible for some new thing failing or it's shitheels trying to use it like "These essjew snowflake nu male MILLENNIALS amirite" despite most of them also being in that age range. So a lot of the time it's pretty much just a dogwhistle for being sadmad that young people are getting so much more liberal.

If you're talking about the one I think you are, try again, they were going crazy at some young muslim women and then.

"At least two men tried to calm the ranting passenger down, but 'they were attacked by the suspect' when they did, Simpson said. 'It appears that the victims were trying to intervene in his behavior, deescalate him and protect some other people on the train when [the suspect] viciously attacked them.' Simpson said."

The dumbass nazis are trying so hard to turn people against the good and fun Wolfenstein game, they've recently changed up their tactics though. "B-b-but you can't just kill people you disagree with!" stopped being very convincing fast, when you know, it's about the actual third reich nazis taking over, so they've instead started pulling this "W-well the game pushes commulist propaganda!" bullshit mostly because there's communists you get in with your side, whom BJ has to call "Hillbilly degenerate moonshiner bolshevik cowards" initially to kick them into action, before they come into the fold of your group of dudes as just another staple, so you know, the cromulists are apparently such high held heroic figures of the game, it just can't stop fellating them apparently! (They are heroic though, because they're another part of the nazi killin machine, but still)

Gonna go with they're wrong on this one and in a pretty bad sounding way, honestly getting worried about Contra lately. Singal is a poo poo person and they basically got played by them and won't own it, as they've already gone back to dogwhistling and baiting terrible people with a shiny new "But see I can't be a bigot!" card tucked away, then Chris Ray Gun is a cowardly rear end racist and the last bit just sounds weird, if you're friends with nazi sympathizers you should probably :sever:.

What bugs me is that I have the strong feeling that tons of people are doing this to Contrapoints. I think Contrapoints is smart but I also don't think she spends that much time in the same spaces as the people who write into her every so often claiming she's convinced them on things, just because the nature of the situation means it would be really hard for her to follow up. I bet most of the people who write into her saying they found her convincing are saying exactly the same racist or anti-LGBTQ poo poo they were saying beforehand -- just tempering it with "and I listen to both sides on these issues, so I'm not part of the problem."

I think if Contrapoints keeps hanging out with TERFs and nazis she's in danger of engaging them on what she sees as areas of common ground and on-screen tolerating the really bad areas of their ideology.

Yuuuup, this is exactly what has me scared for her, these people are insidious, all the loud nazis and their chud wannabes have started to break people's radar, so the "They have some bad opinions but are otherwise okay!" people start slipping through the cracks to keep on poisoning the well right under your nose, in service of their pals who don't even pretend to like you or have a single shred of humanity left. Of those couple interview things before, the last bit about "I keep some ~other side of the aisle~ friends secret" has me sweatin the worst, because this is literally point for point how otherwise good and sane people slid down the right winger slope, if you have friends pushing for pretty much anything the righty cultists do by this point, sever, drop them and don't look back, the brain rot already set in and they're only sticking around to spread it.

The sad thing is that if any of these turds were trying to make an argument in good faith (And with better timing obviously), there could be a real discussion about like, getting pedophiles help and trying to push a program for therapy or something, instead of conditioning them to hide it and let it fester until they unfortunately get a chance to act.

Yeah the deal is that twitch is straight up letting the dumb "IRL" category turn into a camsite and that feels kinda off, considering twitch came from phasing out the camsite-y parts of jtv in the first place.

If you want to watch someone play video games, go ahead. But calling it "hard work" is really funny.

I almost forgot we basically already went down this in the thread before so I'll just quote an old post.

Yardbomb posted:

"Noble" is goofy sounding but if someone does well for themselves streaming or doing LPs or whatever, should they stop and work something miserable instead? I mean even on the point of "hardworking", if you're not DSP level, recording a screen with a camcorder and making GBS threads unedited footage out onto youtube, you've probably put money and effort into setting up and testing around with better equipment, you've learned or are learning to edit videos properly, making sure the sound is actually nice to listen to and is leveled right, like you're not digging ditches but constantly recording, editing, coming up with worthwhile commentary or at least cultivating some kind of likable shtick, all of that isn't effortless either. And this isn't a defense of the dumb turds that act like it's actually the hardest job in the world or anything.

And I mean especially now in light of poo poo like THE ALMIGHTY ALGORITHM on youtube, if you want to stay "relevant" to the arcane crapheap that is their system you have to stay on the ball, which means constant, consistent videos with a good run-time, but not too long of a run-time, it has to be something you know more people will run into, otherwise the system thinks you're on the way out, it promotes chasing trends and racing to be the first person to get content out, otherwise you're gonna get smothered by the usual suspects and so on. If you want to make some okay living off streaming or videos, it is fairly hard work if you're not some rich boy in the first place like PDP.
