    Ok well in Europe people say and used to say the n word a lot, idk where you are from but when I moved here 17 years ago white kids saying the n word was „normal“ I was pretty shocked because I came from US schools where that was a huge no no. So I’m just saying hearing a white person saying the N word in Europe wasn’t a sign that people were dyed in the wool racists. As for the iron cross thing, that’s an older Prussian military symbol which is still used by the German military (yes it’s full of right wingers but which military isn’t) also Lemmy used to run around wearing iron crosses didn’t mean he was a nazi.

    All the rest sounds just like an idiot trolling, I don’t know the guy and I’m not defending what he did, he definitely helped poison the discourse and gave Nazis a place where they could feel safe which is bad. I still don’t know if he’s an ideological fascist though so I’m not going to call him one. I’m not carrying water for any one at the end of the day idgaf about any of these internet personalities. I’m just also not going to accuse some one of being a nazi if I don’t know that he is one.

    At the end of the day I think he just did all this shit for the controversy it stirred up because guess what in the media hellscape we live in stirring up controversy makes good money, a lot more than being sincere sadly.

        I hope you don’t suck your dads dick with that mouth. Go touch grass. As the person who came up with that phrase I really mean it. Did I ever excuse pewdiepie no I just said I have no evidence he’s a fascist and the „evidence“ you gave isn’t enough for me sorry. So fuck you and do something real with your life instead of being an internet leftist getting upset with other internet personalities over the shit they did 10 years ago. Especially because the only reason he did it is so he could get a rise out of tools like you because that’s what got him paid.

        I prefer trying to deal with the actual fucking fascists who are a danger to me in my real life than fretting about some Swedish YouTuber.
