It’s sad how this video got age-restricted, had to click through several warnings just to watch this, but literal alt-right propaganda on KZfaq can still remain monetised.

How come this is age-restricted and contains "inappropriate" content warnings, yet my teenage kid gets videos of Andrew Tate auto playing without even asking to watch them?

This is marked inappropriate but alt right KZfaqrs can make racist and homophobic content without any warning

I went from an edgy Gabe to a well adjusted Gabrielle. Feels good

As a black man I pretty much went through the same thing as a teen. Watching SJW gets owned compilations when I was 12, then as they couldn’t convince me through the racial part, went fully down the misogynistic, homophobic shi they fed to me as ‘just common sense’ or ‘realistic’. When it got to the racial stuff, I was just fed the classic ‘You’re one of the good ones’ and ‘we’re not talking about you’. Luckily I got out in time before I became fully radicalised into that system when I was 15, by just meeting people from different communities (women, LGBTQ, other ethnic minorities) and hearing their own experiences in our society and how amazing they were. But damn looking back on it I realise just how disgusting I was back then.

For everyone saying "Oh my God I'm gabe", I want you to know I'm proud of you for catching that shit.

This being age restricted but not the literal right wing propaganda all over this website should REALLY make you think.

As a POC I was flirting with alt-right content most of my middle school years. The thing that changed for me was realizing how repetive there “jokes” were which led me to becoming a leftist.

I met a Gabe in high school. We had a trans lesbian teacher and Gabe told me she managed to get out thanks to meeting that teacher and realizing she was just a person like everyone else, and it made her reevaluate her beliefs. Representation matters.

As a recovering Gabe who came to the light in 2018, I still have difficulty making normal friends because of all the fear mongering. This stuff really fucks with you, and I've been in therapy for 3 years trying to fix myself. I rewatch this series a lot because it helps remind me how far I've come, and maybe one day I'll truly feel comfortable accepting the loving relationships I have now.

I used to passively think trans people were crazy a few years ago. Im glad I stopped cuz it wouldve made my transition a bit of a hassle.

The fact this is age-restricted yet there are clueless moderates platforming fascists on the daily is tragic

This hits me, very hard. I Was dangerously close to becoming an alt-righter when I was in high school. I was a shy anti-social kid with autism and no friends that at that time went through a break-up that made me suicidal. I found solace in one of my classmates whom we shared interests. I didn't know it at the time but he was straight up an antisemitic fascist and was trying to get me on his side. He invited me to Discord servers where people would say incredibly heinous shit about mexicans, jews, muslims, etc. And I just went along with it, because I thought it was all a joke. I was incredibly ignorant to not see that he was genuine about "Jews shouldn't have rights" or "women only exist to produce offspring" It wasn't until my parents told me that he wasn't allowed in our house that something clicked in me.

Even as a black girl, the algorithm tried to push alt-right stuff to me. It started with simple car crash compilations; no issue, just an odd choice of entertainment on my part. Then road rage comps -- then public freak out. That led to “Karen” compilations, then weird undercover sjw hater vids that were passed as being harmless, “haha look at this crazy lady” when they were really “angry female liberal, everyone point and laugh” videos. They always lacked justtttt enough context so that you couldn’t downright be disturbed but then they’d carefully leave ignorant things in to try and move you over to their side … subliminally.

@moleperson

This video has made me realise how Blair White (a radicalised trans KZfaqr) so effective. She, by making fun of fellow trans people that she perceives as not the right “kind” of trans, reinforces the idea that the trans members of her audience are “real” trans people. She preys on the paranoia felt by trans people, paranoia that they don’t pass, that they aren’t “really” trans. And by letting them laugh at people that they don’t consider “really trans”, the connection between being a leftist and being “not trans” is formed. It’s horrible and terrifying, and I ALMOST fell for it, until I watched a video of hers about how non-binary people aren’t “real.”

@matthewsmith2078

I almost cried watching this. Gabe’s story is almost my own. I got sucked into the Red Pill stuff back in 2014 after a girl in my French class rejected me. It ended up taking me down a seven-year rabbit hole which made me a cult member and had me working politically for right wing causes. It is a miracle I made it out. Thank you for posting this, the last thing I want is for another young man to go through what I did

The biggest thing that changed my perspective on reactionary communities was, as dumb as it sounds, Overwatch. Because for years I'd been repeating the "why don't you just create your own characters and stories??" line that always gets tossed around whenever a popular character is revealed as gay or a minority is cast in a role that was previously cast to a white person, and then when Overwatch (and a lot of media in general) started to do exactly that, having more diverse groups, all of the sudden it was "forced representation" that was "catering to a minority", with them trying to basically make you feel like you should hate it because you should feel it's "pandering" and disingenuous. That, oh no, you don't disagree with a diverse cast (in concept), you're just upset that it's "done the wrong way" and eventually as your distaste for it grows and media continues to change, that "they" are actively forcing the media to do so to promote their "agenda" and try to trick you.
