The multiple references to charlie-kirk being killed by Israel make me think it’s mostly Candice Owens viewers, mixed in with some Nick Fuentes fans. The Greta Thunberg reference is valid, at least. Link to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEZQ00OOxY

Other versions of the song have even worse comments: “He inhaled 6 million powerups in how short a time?” “He only could’ve inhaled like 200000 at most.” “271k to be exact” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N6WJ9XZk2Y

“219k views? In just three years? Yeah, sounds about right.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH1LTFeYWwU

    Reminds me of the Frenworld shit on the other site. Was going to ask why fascists seem so obsessed with children’s media or masquerading as children, but then remembered that the entire ideology has been weirdly fixated on children right from the get. Probably why they have so much pedo overlap too, an unhealthy idealization of youth as some holy period when you’re pure and haven’t been corrupted by the world.

    Seems like it also underlies their abortion stances, everyone (not actually everyone because their eugenicists too) comes out perfect because God, and then its all downhill from there. Your life’s worth is just on a steady decline from your peak, which frankly they would put at conception rather than birth.

      Also makes sense with why theyre so fixated on nostalgia and “returning to the past” as well. Genuinely infantile ideology.

      Your last point doesn’t really square up. People aren’t born perfect because God; actually people are born in a fallen state and only forgiven of their original sin via baptism.

      Anyway, I think it’s just a recruiting thing. It’s harder to turn adults who have more social connections, emotional intelligence, and more to lose than children into fascists. Disaffected, lonely kids will do anything to be part of some ingroup, and fascists promise kids that they can be the in a racial or religious ingroup.

        Doesn’t the original sin: taint after birth though, meaning there’s an instance of innocence between being squeezed out and the sin particles adhering?

          Not sure if in some Orthodox Churches it works that way but generally there isn’t much distinction between a human in the womb and one that has been born, very few people believe in limbo nowadays, etc. etc. The perspective on when a soul/the human subject is formed has generally gone earlier for some centuries now AFAIK. I’m sure there’s still some exceptional denominations that would say that original sin exists but only some time after birth though.

        Back in my day, the fascist youtubers were a bit more demure than Stefan Molyneux playing Minecraft. It was CaptainSparklez making monarchist propaganda such as Fallen Kingdom (which is actually a pretty straightforward Great Replacement/Stabbed In The Back narrative if you view it somewhat uncharitably).
