What does morality has to do with this? Marxism is not a moral compass. Sure each of us have our own moral compass that is influenced by our own cultures, but that is not a part of Marxism.

We can disagree with Russia all we want, the reality of the matter is that, at the end of the day, they are still fighting and resisting NATO’s imperialism.

Also, if you’re going to bring morality into this, then you can’t only talk about Russia invading, you also needs to weight in the ethnic cleansing Ukraine was doing, their Nazi military that are now officially recognized, their rehabilitation of figures like Estepan Bandera and their erasing of Soviet symbols in the country.

Oh fuck off. It’s the PCO person again with the bullshit muh freeze peach. Stop being a reactionary for 5 minutes, will you?

It’s even worse. The whole journalistic side of it is just a giant paid ad over and over again. There’s no real critique of games being done by these outlets that pretend to do it. It sucks seeing the whole medium being treated as just a product and never as art.

Fair enough. I’ll update my original comment.

Nah, you’re excusing his behavior. He could have cursed in Swedish instead of using a racially charged word. The fact that he knew the word, knew it was bad, it came to his mind and used it is too much to be a “heated” moment.

And even if it was, there’s literally no excuses. His content is in English and his main audience is USians.

Sure thing. These people were both on his YouTube comments and on his subreddit. Tho I remember it being worse at the subreddit.

The issue is not that Nazis will watch his content, that’s outside of anyone’s control, but that his content funnels people into right-wing ideologies, which attracts these types of people.

The video “The PewDiePipeline” that I linked talks about this better than I could.

Yes because in this case it’s relevant. You are right that being mentioned by a bad person is not necessarily proof of anything. But like I said, in this case it is connected to the content and community that PewDiePie has.

If you can’t see how he hosting Shapiro and Musk, using right wing memes and rethoric, endorsing a fascist author, and allowing Nazis and other right-wingers to fester in his community is directly related with why that POS shooter mentioned him, that is precisely the problem.

That’s a common excuse used to defend the guy over and over again like it is just some isolated incident and not connected to the content he produces and the community he fosters.

I used to watch him years ago. He has a very young and impressionable audience which he constantly feeds memes with right-wing rethoric.

To list a few of the stuff I remember:

• He said the N word hard R;
• He paid people on Fiverr to show a sign saying “Death to all Jews” or something like that, where he laughed at the reveal. He said it was to prove a point that you could do harmful shit with that type of online service, but all it ended up doing was getting the guys banned from the platform and served to signal to Nazis that he would host such content;
• He allowed right-wingers to fester in his community, 4chan specially really liked the guy;
• The Christchurch shooter mentioned him in a video;
• He hosted both Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk in his channel for a “meme review”;
• He has stated multiple times that his favorite author is Mishima, a Japanese fascist.
• He used to stream on some crypto bullshit site, which I don’t remember the name;
• His whole campaign against the Indian conglomerate T-Series lead not only to racist comments but also to a very racist music video he did.

There’s probably much more that I either don’t remember or don’t know about, but this is more than enough to understand where he stands politically and the harm he causes.

I also recommend the video: The PewDiePipeline.

You’re shifting the blame to individuals. Gacha games and gacha mechanics are gambling and should be banned.

I already responded to everything in this comment on my previous one, which you ignored just like you ignored everyone correcting you. You’re clearly antisemitic and wants to coat that by talking about the genocide. If you want so bad to act like a fucking nazi and hate the jews the only thing pieces of shit like you deserve is a ban.

You conflate Jews and Zionists and that’s antisemitic. By refering to Zionists as Jews you are doing exactly what the settler colonial entity of Israel wants, a way to legitimize them.

You can argue all you want about the semantics of who is or isn’t semitic, but that ignores how historically the word antisemitism have been used to talk specifically about hate for Jews.

Also, accusing someone who is correcting you of being pro genocide is disgusting, no one in this comment chain did this.

That’s an extremely bad faith argument.

If this single person stopped paying taxes, the US would still be funding the genocide.

Besides, their taxes don’t fund shit. The US government literally prints money at will and funds whatever it wants.

zionazis down

A free and neutral net is crucial

If you allow nazis, zionists and other reactionary ideals to roam free, that’s not neutrality, that’s being complicit. It’s siding with the oppressors. The very idea of neutrality is just centrist thinking, that is, a fantasy.

Because of this supposed “neutrality” that you have places like 4chan that are infested with nazi/fascists.

Well, you’re wrong. Censorship is a tool like any other. If you censor nazis, is that wrong? I don’t think so.

Said the one defending the empire, lol

Comrade Cowbee already followed with great responses but I want to add that we usually forget to factor in why would someone want more?

That’s easy to answer currently because we live in a capitalistic world where individualism and greed are taught to us since we are little and are constantly hammered into our heads. We must consume, we must have more, etc.

That will not be the case in a communist society. At that stage of development, these capitalistic ideals would not be alive in the collective consciousness of people. So, while today we can ask why wouldn’t someone want more, someone from that future might ask why would I want more if I already have everything I need?
