Discord is equally full of racist gamergate incels. Not sure what keyboards you're referring to that have any sort of gifs, but I also fail to see how any of that is prove of it not being used by those people.
And if you think crying about black NPCs in video games, or other anti-woke shit, is not being racist / hateful, then you're just part of the same problem.
I've posted in elsewhere already but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P55t6eryY3g
There you go again.. creating this distance and making me out as a bad guy.. I'm wondering what your end game is?
So is discord a Nazi bar? Is that what you are saying? Because I've found myself in plenty of discords of games that have fun low key communities with an image of peppe holding a cool sign amongst all the other game and internet nonsense..
And yes the radicalization pipeline is freaking scary. But keep in mind that constantly alienating people like what you seem to be doing.. creates the vacuum to be filled.
Years ago when Rogan was still a rube interviewing deer hunters, taxidermists, astronauts and other real people.. I Nopee out when the peterson, Jones lineup became common.. I saw the swing happening.. it was vicious.. and I'll bet they took a whole swath of his audience with them.
The left needs to provide a narrative, something that people can latch on to and aspire to.. to pull them in, because the policies and goals are what we all need. At this moment screetching, calling everyone a Nazi and alienating people is not helping anyone..
I don't alienate anyone other than those who clearly are hateful and toxic in nature, including trolls arguing in bad faith, such as you who loves to put words into my mouth. And I'm not a "screeching" libtard or whatever your US centric green hair memes are.
Rogan has always been a far right pundit btw. That's kinda the point I'm trying to make here. Radicalization happens not by telling people to swing the Nazi flag, but subtly through stupid memes and how woke culture is going to ruin their lives.
With friends like you...
I don't know what entitlement drives you to believe that I should make friends with toxic and hateful individuals.
