Why is there an entire series on "the alt-right playbook" when their playbook can be summarised with "autism, trannies and faggotry"?
Obviously the antifa types on the left aren't that different. One sucks of trannies under the Nazi swastika while the other sucks off trannies under the hammer and sickle. A pair of long separated relatives whose parents are also related, who are a subject of mockery to anyone normal (remotely, even on Kiwi Farms).
The broad generalisations he applies to the 'alt-right' actually encompass everybody on the right-side of the political spectrum. Nothing he describes is uniquely 'alt-right' either. He reshapes real, policy‑driven grievances into psychological pathology (the right doesn't believe in what they espouse, it just makes them feel good — the irony), ignores left‑wing militancy, and offers feel‑good fixes that dodge the root causes of social breakdown. He's a bitch that reinforces the self-sustained victimhood of the left (the right are meanies who employ all these nasty tricks and are uniquely evil) and engenders the idea that you're at peak intelligence if you're a progressive and anything else means your an unempathetic retard.
The alt-right peaked in 2016 and died in 2017. That really exemplified what the series was in the end — a kneejerk reaction to Charlottesville — that was already irrelevant by the time it came out in November; but the 'alt-right' to his strain of leftism encompassed everybody who aligned with Trump. Jordan Peterson, Nigel Farage, and Nick Fuentes are on the exact same wavelength in their eyes, no demarcation.
They never realise how saying that makes them look even if it were true.
The far more honest view is ‘people only give a shit about optics when they don’t have the power or structure to ignore them’
At the time that favoured the left so they should use that power to crush and force what they want through because if they don’t the Right will when they get power - and you could absolutely show the Right saying that.
But no instead they frame it in a way that isn’t true and that means the Left is now not read when the mask of optics drops.
They must've realised this, even if they never said it out loud, the amount of control and favour their political side had over the media and online platforms. Their main rebuke to the idea that the right were the underdogs was they couldn't be, since Trump was in the white house. Simultaneously the oppressed and the oppressor, trotting out the overused "paradox of intolerance" to justify getting their opponents suppressed into oblivion if not kicked off X-platform entirely because you're not meant to tolerate the intolerant.
People like Ian wanted more even more done to his opponents. The intent was radicalisation, if his constant proclaiming of the right's objective evil and insistence on self-sequestering into progressive circles wasn't obvious (plus the tweets featured on the 1st page of this thread). In his final video on it he outright tells his audience to seriously consider when enough is enough and they'll start taking action (not himself, no, he's merely
musing on it). People like him thought they should take advantage of the right maintaining 'optics' (more likely just being polite and not actively meeting opposition with violence) to suppress them even more, which is why he pushed so hard the idea that any cordial attitudes or moderate beliefs were all done to cover up their true intent (unfalsifiable). Of course the gulags never came, no night of long knives, just impotent crying and smugness all the way up to the 2020 election. Once Biden won he didn't do another playbook video until blacks started assaulting Asians and he had to tell everyone that it wasn't actually happening, just a nefarious trick by the alt-right to get beautiful American POCs mad at each other instead of whitey.
I'm not sure if they truly believed what they were saying or not about the right, but his morale crashed anyway once Trump won. His lash out of a video where he explained why he doesn't accept criticism. Harmful opinions watched it if you want to see it torn apart.
His final three videos on the series were:
1. "Anyone who criticises me is a concern troll and reactionary in disguise."
2. "People aren't
genuinely opposed to trans people now after Kamala lost and that stat came out saying that people are, here, let me reinvent
tu quoque so that the 'bad' parts of transgenderism aren't actually bad but still get hyper focused on to form a bad faith argument."
3. "The alt-right has gone too far now! (because Trump won) This is like... Le Rome! When Le Caesar crossed the Le Rubicon! (winning popular + electoral vote = seizing a power) When are people going to do something before something bad inevitably happens? What's
your line in the sand? When are
you going to actually take action? Maybe think about that..."
*Fake cries for 90k 3 months later after breaking up with his polycule* (As an aside, the fact the Rubicon video is still up is a perfect example of Youtube's bias towards left-wing content creators)
Edit: I just wanted to note, he still hasn't released any kind of thank you update on his Youtube channel. Maybe it's because he has to find a way of saying thanks yet promising nothing to his audience for all the money they gave him in a tasteful enough way.
The only place outside the gofundme itself where he offered some level of thanks is his Bluesky, which hardly anybody would see since it's Bluesky:
His second Bluesky acknowledgement:
Finally, this retweet, which similar to the video itself, in a way places blame at his fan's feet for not supporting him before the debt became a thing?
He hasn't mentioned it since.
