You guys keep talking about bigotry online not being new. We KNOW that.
We're talking about a concerted effort by dedicated WS to spread their beliefs everywhere like a virus and to make far-right thought mainstream. You guys knew about thousands of WS converging on viral Youtube vids to upvote racist comments? You guys knew about WS sharing manuals online on things like posing how to pose as black people in order to make WS statements seem benign?
Cut the shyt.
...I thought this was public knowledge.
This type of *trolling* (downvote trolling videos, white supremacists subscribing just so they can immediately dislike and post vids on ***** and Reddit so they will be swarmed by people making racist comments and upvoting them, sharing manuals online on white supremacy, posing as black people online, -- the instant I see, "As a Black person, I think this is fine," I KNOW ITS A WHITE -- sharing codewords and buzzwords on how to talk about Black people without explicitly saying '******,' etc) has been going on for YEARS. Literally. Years.
I'm on YouTube and I have a video right now with over 6,000 downvotes (SIX THOUSAND. There are vids with MILLIONS of views that don't have that kind of ratio) because it was on the front page of Reddit for TWO WEEKS. I was swarmed with downvotes and racist comments. Racist white YouTubers like The Amazing Atheist and white nationalist twitter celebs also regularly sic their thousands or even millions of rabid racist white fanboys on us and push the idea that because it's so many of them, they have to be right. I've had to disable the like/unlike option on several videos and I have to heavily moderate comments.
If this is new to y'all then y'all have not been paying attention. Cut THAT shyt.
Also, if this really is new to you, then you should all read this article:
The white flight of Derek Black
It really outlines how white nationalists made a concerted effort to rebrand themselves among young white males and push the alt-right racism mainstream.
