This guy "used to be" alt-right (i.e. a Hungarian Fascist), then it turns out he's still shit. :surprised-pika:

Original video instead of Hasan clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94_5mXsQTpA

Editing to say I really do hope that all the dunking he's getting on his YouTube posts convinces this guy to read a bit and finally understand why his fascist beliefs were bad in the first place, and why he's wrong.

      Laugh, but it happened to a huge number of people.

      Gamergate was the most successful propaganda campaign in modern history.

        Yeah, not the War on Terror, the Invasion of Iraq, the entire democratic party during and after Obama, MAGA, QAnnon, Blue MAGA...It was the super online video game thing that made the news for a bit

          If your understanding of Gamergate is “a super online video game thing that made the news for a bit” you must not know much about it.

          What you think happened to the literally hundreds of thousands of people who were obsessed with gamergate after it went out of the news?

          It successfully pulled a huge portion of my generation into right wing politics.

          The_Donald on reddit had massive user overlap with places like Kotaku In Action. Without Gamergate, MAGA and Qanon would look completely different.

          And the War On Terror and the invasion of Iraq only barely needed a propaganda campaign, because America was already out for blood after 9/11.

            Maybe don't cite subreddit overlap if you want to show something isn't super online.

              The left desperately needs to get out of the mindset that online things do not matter. Fascism today has not been an offline movement, it has been an online movement, literally all of it except the Trump rallies and clashed with Proud Boys has been online.

              It being "super online" is irrelevant to the enormous impact it has very clearly had.

              The shit that happens on Reddit spreads everywhere else. Even when people don't know about specific people and the timeline of events, people still pickup on the overall theme. How do you think the term "sjw" got so widespread?

              Donald Trump wasn't president of the internet.

              Reddit has something like 400 million active users. Internet communities (this one excepted) and hermetically sealed spaces with no connection to the outside world.

          I would be willing to amend my statement to "one of the most successful" but maintain that it's totally near the top.
