"The less radicalized members effectively provide cover for the more radicalized..." reminds me of what Ian Danskin said about GamerGate and the symbiotic relationship between the hatemongers in it and the normies who participated just a bit.
One thing I find ridiculous, is how GamerGate guys like Sargon fail to realise how Antifa isn't an Organisation. After they spent literal years defending GamerGate as "not an organisation". It makes no sense to me at all.
Man that was so me in my butthead gamer days, I really did think I was fighting the good fight against bad journalism and yet mentally blocked all of those absurd claims about how women and minorities are bad and how feminism is stealing my booby games, or quietly agreed with them. GamerGate was such a breeding ground for the current landscape of reactionary outrage movements and it was so accessible to normies.
I know I'm opening up to catch some flack for this, but GamerGate didn't start with the hatemongers, it got co-opted by them and then they took over. It started over bad journalism, and then the idiots saw that a woman was involved, and started their "all women bad" shtick while drawing attention to the movement. The movement then got called sexist, and people that weren't about to stand up for something that got co-opted by sexists left, while the actual sexists took over the reins and started up the "They're calling all gamers sexist!" rhetoric. This all while the sexists encouraged their hateful friends to get involved. That's how things ended up where they are, or were, or whatever's going on with that sphere. I stopped giving those people any attention when it became clear I'd heard all they had to say, and none of it made any sense.
@@StevetheWizard2591 yeah that's actually a lie started by "the hatemongers" and you've bought into it. Sure slimey here has a video on the topic to educate you. Yeah it didn't start over "bad journalism". It was always a bunch of sexist, racist nonsense.

@Azhag Dark That does not mean they are necessarily good people, "imperialism" also has a wide brush. Those same people claim Israel to be imperialist while ethnically cleansing Kurds and Yazidis and calling for Jihad.
I find it perpetually hilarious that for all the bluster fascist groups have, they have consistently proven less successful than the ALF, a group whose criminal acts have included releasing thousands of minks on an unsuspecting countryside. Multiple times. It's fairly common. That being said, the ALF are unironic Chads. Despite frequently perpetuating acts of arson, bombing, and industrial sabotage, over their fourty-five year history, *not a single person has been killed.* They also stole 50-60 beagles from a college one time. That's not relevant, I just want to know how they did it, because i legitimately do not know how it is possible.
Goddamn it, I still cannot believe that we let them take Hawaiian shirts from us. The fact that that's not the official uniform of queer anarchism is unforgivable
You wanna know what the Boogaloo is you ask a boogaloo plain and simple im sorry our memes are to spicy for you to handle besides only tyrants who want to trample the freedom of man should be worried we aren't right wing we aren't racist if you open your eyes we've been at blm protest for a while now we were in va chanting white supremacist suck our beliefs are the same as our founding fathers so if you wanna call us terrorist you would have been a loyalist in the revolutionary war
This “refuge in silliness” is why hate groups can say they’re not hate groups. It’s how hate speech can hide under the “they’re just jokes” excuse or have ridiculous names and costumes so they can’t be taken seriously.
just from the intro, i knew this would be a bangin essay. _"what am i doing with my life that i know what these things are"_ you're paying attention. nothing shameful about that. the shame rests entirely on the fash.
i keep thinking "haha what a goofy name" but thats probably definitely the point. they want people to not take them seriously so they wont be seen as a threat
Thought I’d comment my experience with boog boys here. I was really involved in having discussions with people of very different beliefs from me over early quarantine to see where I really stood. Once I saw a comment somewhere from a boogaloo boy who said he was at a BLM protest to protect protestors and supported the movement against police brutality and white supremacy. Of course, only knowing the boog boys as a far right movement at the time, reached out to him to discuss it. He seemed chill. Later on there was a group chat will us in it. Everything was going relatively smoothly, though I questioned why the so-called opposer of white supremacists would go on to invite several far righters into the chat (along with a leftist he know irl) and complained how Trump was too much of a lefty socialist for them (I shit you not they said he was a socialist). It still seemed to go smoothly until the events at Kenosha occurred. They made death threats against leftists and talked about what a hero Rittenhouse was. They talked about wanting to kill lots of leftists. At the time, they knew someone in there and I were left-leaning (and minors), and still continued. At that point, I left as fast as I could. To anyone reading this who still is unsure where the Boog boys lie: they don’t have to call themselves white supremacists to advocate for extreme violence against people with different ideologies and minorities. They may be respectful, even, at first. If you’re having second thoughts about supporting the movement and talking to them, please be careful. I can’t tell you what you can and can’t do, just please be safe. Note: I don’t receive notifications for replies so if I don’t get back to anyone sorry!!
I would agree to a point. But I think we both know a few people that 'lean left' who do so because of those around them and because they think it's 'cool' or 'counter-cultural' to do so
@@JohnnyThousand605 honest question. Can someone believe something to be true out of vanity. It has to be true because it would be beautiful. sounds silly but is it coherent? I would say yes.
Yeah i used to be fairly right wing but a strict adherence to facts and logic forced me to the left. It’s not possible to be a right wing engineer without some serious cognitive dissonance. Im a troubleshooter professionally. I consult on technical installations that arent running properly. Society isnt running properly and it is crystal clear the problem is capitalism.
To be fair, Socialism was an incredibly dirty word in the US for decades (and still is to a certain extent) and so many people were not massively open about being socialist. And a lot of anarchists present as libertarian-socialists because its a bit of a mind-f*ck for people if you tell them you're anarchist.
The _only_ thing that mitigates it, even slightly, is that "Wolverine" could theoretically be a reference to the nickname for Michiganders and not :: deep sigh :: the X-Man.
The "they're coming for our guns" idea was popular back in high school among the more right wing students, which in my little town was most of them. That was back in 1977, so they've been at this game for a while now.
Theres literally over 20k gun laws on the state and federal level, and more being added every year... what more do you need to see for you to realize THEY ARE COMING FOR OUR GUNS.
I literally can't buy an AR15 in NYS. I'd have to make one at home, which is illegal. So yes, they came for my guns. And they want what's in NY, at the federal level. So they do indeed want to take your guns.
Thought Slime, I am at the convenience store trying to buy myself a crisp, ice cold soda pop, but the cashier doesn't understand that it's on you what do I tell them
No Pasarán! - On the left w'all can disagree about a lot but when it comes to the fash, you put your differences aside and get on the barricade in front of them, and every person on that barricade is your comrade.
@O. M. It was less a call to victory and more a call to arms, I think it's quite naïve to think that the current fight against the far-right is over, I'd hope it is but I think it's more likely just beginning. In that vein, I'd argue that it's at least as important to remember the people and the times that people fought and lost as it is to remember those who fought and won. Fighting fascism and tyranny before it has never been easy, it's always been difficult and dangerous, often with more at stake that it is possible for many to imagine. We don't fight these people for the plaudits or because it's easy, we do it because it's the right thing to do. And because the consequences of not fighting are for many people the same as fighting and losing. If people want to put my friends or comrades in a camp just for who they are or where they come from then they will have to put me right in there with them, I will keep fighting them until I have no fight left to give.
@@emdivine Yeah, you're right, their boss is called "Great Dragon Wizard" or something. It's like the Proud Boys and all the (potentially) gay subtext in their movement.
Note: by "paramilitary" and "militia" I don't mean the ones like in the US, but something more akin to less organized brownshirts. In Poland, The Supreme Leader of the Country (leader of Law and Justice - ruling conservative party, holding just an office of an ordinary MEP) roused the literal fascist paramilitary against women (and allies) protesting against complete ban of abortion. Those militias also got vocal support from Polish Catholic Chruch officials, ranging from parish priests to archbishops. During the so called "Polish October Revolution" from previous year (massive women protests against the aforementioned abortion ban) the National Guard, armed with batons and knives, got wrecked by superior numbers of K-Pop girls, squaters and our beloved local Antifa (though, the national TV called them German, because it is late 1940s and every single bad thing that happens to Poland is caused by Germany). The Guard was outnumbered literally 300 to tens of thousand (but my lord there is no such force!). As of late, I'm in a mood to write long comments - follow my comments on channels of V**sh, RGR, Atun-Shei (he's a LaFollettian leftie, that's my diagnosis). I'm sure my 2020 depression spiral wears out.
As a German: Greetings, comrade. I'm sorry your country is going through that shit. :( I'm glad that you have a strong K-Pop girl force, though. Stay strong! Gotta resist the fashos even when they're not German.
Thanks for bringing this back! I was afraid that the "proud boys" video was going to be the only one of these. I recognize that these are stressful to make, thank you for doing it.
Oh no, the fash have ruined the Electric Boogaloo thing? I've multiple times referred to my medical transition as Puberty 2: Estrogenic Boobaloo. This is truly a sad day 😞
They haven't taken it so far that it can't be taken back. When it comes to things being appropriated by fascists, I think the most appropriate response is "Heads up, folks, this is currently being used as a way for fascists to signal to each other under the radar; be aware." Then when it stops working, because people are aware of what they're doing, they drop it and we pick it back up again.
No coincidence that after FBI director Chris Wray warned of a surge of White Nationalist activity, the right wing media quickly buried it under a mountain of sob stories about Antifa (Andy Ngo's Career-winning Magnum Opus being among them)
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Great, a new Thought Slime video on this very cold Friday evening (-5°C Here in North East England.) whilst sat at home on lockdown! "What am I doing with my life that I know all of these things?" I feel yah!
True story. Im a very white looking Puerto Rican and I used to follow silly right wing forums and thought i was like them but the more Leftist TH-cam I watched I realized that Im just a shield and the moment they are in power they'd get rid of me. To this day I'm still ashamed i even had that mindset
People forget empathy is largely a relationship with proximity; the people who make up your friends family and peers are more real than all others outside, and this is true as distance and other barriers like culture and language split further apart. The cure is thusly exposure, that is mutually beneficial, and ultimately OT will disposition aptly benefit the most marginalized people the most, but there must be incentives for the privileged to open their hearts.
Had a guy try to join my job. Looked him up and his twitter was nothing but this. I spent a solid work day doing nothing but telling everyone that he was a blatant racist. He quit like two days in. Baffles me that HR didn't even bat an eye about any of his posts.
...I'm way left for here. Pseudonym ftw...But yeah, if he's not just a racist, but stupid enough to post it _under his own name?_ The company isn't missing out on great genius.
To be fair, I dont think a college student with a handgun for self defense in their home is going to stop a militarized facist militia who have years of training, gear, and military grade firearms
Definitely, gun ownership should be a privilege given to citizens who use guns for hunting or sport. And only when they’ve shown competence in handling and storing their firearms safely.
Everybody is a right leaning libertarian when talking to normies, that's the crypto part in cryptofascist. They only pull the JQ out when they're with the boys.
Just finished watching some feel-good animal rescue videos, started to actually feel good about life for a second. Then I immediately click a video on fascist paramilitary groups and suddenly I hate everything again.

@@GaigeGrosskreutzsMissingBicep incorrect, Anarcho-Communism makes perfect sense. In fact, I would say that the real contradiction is non-Anarchist communism, since 1/3rd of the definition Marx gave for communism was a stateless society (other 2/3rds are moneyless and classless). Any state that's claimed to be communist was lying or mistaken or something like that, as they would more accurately be described as "state capitalist" rather than either socialist or communist. You literally do not, and in fact CANNOT know what you're talking about if you actually think Anarchism is incompatible with communism. It's certainly not compatible with anything else.

"The less radicalized members effectively provide cover for the more radicalized..." reminds me of what Ian Danskin said about GamerGate and the symbiotic relationship between the hatemongers in it and the normies who participated just a bit.
One thing I find ridiculous, is how GamerGate guys like Sargon fail to realise how Antifa isn't an Organisation. After they spent literal years defending GamerGate as "not an organisation". It makes no sense to me at all.
Man that was so me in my butthead gamer days, I really did think I was fighting the good fight against bad journalism and yet mentally blocked all of those absurd claims about how women and minorities are bad and how feminism is stealing my booby games, or quietly agreed with them.
GamerGate was such a breeding ground for the current landscape of reactionary outrage movements and it was so accessible to normies.
I know I'm opening up to catch some flack for this, but GamerGate didn't start with the hatemongers, it got co-opted by them and then they took over.
It started over bad journalism, and then the idiots saw that a woman was involved, and started their "all women bad" shtick while drawing attention to the movement. The movement then got called sexist, and people that weren't about to stand up for something that got co-opted by sexists left, while the actual sexists took over the reins and started up the "They're calling all gamers sexist!" rhetoric.
This all while the sexists encouraged their hateful friends to get involved.
That's how things ended up where they are, or were, or whatever's going on with that sphere. I stopped giving those people any attention when it became clear I'd heard all they had to say, and none of it made any sense.

I've always been more fond of that thing: The Quickening.
Thought I’d comment my experience with boog boys here.
I was really involved in having discussions with people of very different beliefs from me over early quarantine to see where I really stood. Once I saw a comment somewhere from a boogaloo boy who said he was at a BLM protest to protect protestors and supported the movement against police brutality and white supremacy. Of course, only knowing the boog boys as a far right movement at the time, reached out to him to discuss it. He seemed chill.
Later on there was a group chat will us in it. Everything was going relatively smoothly, though I questioned why the so-called opposer of white supremacists would go on to invite several far righters into the chat (along with a leftist he know irl) and complained how Trump was too much of a lefty socialist for them (I shit you not they said he was a socialist).
It still seemed to go smoothly until the events at Kenosha occurred.
They made death threats against leftists and talked about what a hero Rittenhouse was. They talked about wanting to kill lots of leftists. At the time, they knew someone in there and I were left-leaning (and minors), and still continued. At that point, I left as fast as I could.
To anyone reading this who still is unsure where the Boog boys lie: they don’t have to call themselves white supremacists to advocate for extreme violence against people with different ideologies and minorities. They may be respectful, even, at first.
If you’re having second thoughts about supporting the movement and talking to them, please be careful. I can’t tell you what you can and can’t do, just please be safe.

To be fair, Socialism was an incredibly dirty word in the US for decades (and still is to a certain extent) and so many people were not massively open about being socialist.

No Pasarán! - On the left w'all can disagree about a lot but when it comes to the fash, you put your differences aside and get on the barricade in front of them, and every person on that barricade is your comrade.
@O. M. It was less a call to victory and more a call to arms, I think it's quite naïve to think that the current fight against the far-right is over, I'd hope it is but I think it's more likely just beginning. In that vein, I'd argue that it's at least as important to remember the people and the times that people fought and lost as it is to remember those who fought and won. Fighting fascism and tyranny before it has never been easy, it's always been difficult and dangerous, often with more at stake that it is possible for many to imagine. We don't fight these people for the plaudits or because it's easy, we do it because it's the right thing to do. And because the consequences of not fighting are for many people the same as fighting and losing.
If people want to put my friends or comrades in a camp just for who they are or where they come from then they will have to put me right in there with them, I will keep fighting them until I have no fight left to give.

Thanks for the video Matt! Being Inuit, it seriously pisses me off to see an Igloo flying on their flag.
Note: by "paramilitary" and "militia" I don't mean the ones like in the US, but something more akin to less organized brownshirts.
In Poland, The Supreme Leader of the Country (leader of Law and Justice - ruling conservative party, holding just an office of an ordinary MEP) roused the literal fascist paramilitary against women (and allies) protesting against complete ban of abortion. Those militias also got vocal support from Polish Catholic Chruch officials, ranging from parish priests to archbishops.
During the so called "Polish October Revolution" from previous year (massive women protests against the aforementioned abortion ban) the National Guard, armed with batons and knives, got wrecked by superior numbers of K-Pop girls, squaters and our beloved local Antifa (though, the national TV called them German, because it is late 1940s and every single bad thing that happens to Poland is caused by Germany). The Guard was outnumbered literally 300 to tens of thousand (but my lord there is no such force!).

When it comes to things being appropriated by fascists, I think the most appropriate response is "Heads up, folks, this is currently being used as a way for fascists to signal to each other under the radar; be aware." Then when it stops working, because people are aware of what they're doing, they drop it and we pick it back up again.
