I only have one thing to say to this:

“HWHOUGH!”

    Lemme guess, this guy is somehow tying the cultism aspect of the game with communism due to “gommunizm equals no free thought”?

      …Yes.

      And as always: it’s cringe.

    It’s interesting how this person decided to put “totalitarian communism” in the title instead of just “communism”. Were they just trying to make a scary title? Because I’m confident that they didn’t mean to imply that communism isn’t totalitarian by default.

    So, i did a lil bit of digging and found out this channel is linked to China Uncensored, which for those who don’t know is one of those “ebil seeseepee” “chyna collapse! 1!1” channels and Is linked to falun gong, those guys who were doing those ShenYun shows.

    I think this is a good example of how they use several channels covering popular topics and media in order to spread their ideology to groups that have already been shown to be very susceptible to it (in this case, gamers, which as gamergate showed are the perfect group for instilling and spreading their reactionary views, being mostly younger men from 15 to 35 feeling alone and ostracized from others. With the youngest of the bunch being their big targets.).

    This is all notes taken straight out of the classic Alt-Right playbook and has been the method these types have been employing to great success since the early 10’s and now we are fully seeing the scale of these efforts with the sheer amount of young, far right reactionaries we are beginning to see pop up and far-right grifters such as shapiro, peterson and tate being big celebrities. They have faced a level of sizable backlash from liberal progressive types but they still continue to influence countless young men into support absolutely awful things and enabling their horrible behaviour, which saddens me.

    The takeaway really is always think through, challenge and research what you are being told, ESPECIALLY if it confirms what you already thought. It’s as simple as that yet a shocking amount of people i know don’t do this. It’s okay to be wrong, it’s not okay to be ignorant and all that lol.
