i don't care what he says the intentions were, just like i don't care what Elon and Bannon's intentions were with their "unfortunate gestures". a normal human being would never have thought to do that. the intentions don't matter, only the actions.

i posted in another thread that got removed that really the important takeaway from what happened is that as he and his audience radicalized eachother. the people who didn't want to see the edgy stuff left, and he made no effort to distance himself from it at the time, so more edgy people started following him. in the end you had what the in-group saw as edgy humour while the rest of the world saw nazi shit. and like the "layers of irony" thing that 4chan had going a few years ago, what the in-group thinks its projecting doesn't matter.

the physical description also applies to butter

i brought it up because it is indicative. he may not have started out courting nazis, but he developed an audience that tolerated it, and in turn got more extreme himself. mutual radicalization.

the streaming in an SS uniform and paying people on fiverr to hold up signs saying "death to all jews", probably

no, it is just as bad because it is in English. the swedish word derived from the Spanish "negro" has different connotations and has historically been used as a descriptor rather than an insult, but we can read american history.

he did a stream in an SS uniform, he has said the n-word (as an insult) during streams, his earliest content was all about screaming "rape", and he paid people on fiverr to hold up signs saying "death to jews". he was never wholesome.

also there was that shooter in new Zealand.

however, he did these things because he (perhaps accidentally) cultivated an audience that want it. it was mutual radicalization.

as long as it's between instances and not exposed to end-users, yeah i think that was the original use case.
