a good summary of PewDiePie’s Nazi imagery videos:

• ⁠August 7, 2016: PewDiePie, wearing a Make America Great Again hat, begins his video with a swastika and other Nazi imagery, and uses a photo of Hitler as a segue between clips
• ⁠September 24, 2016: In a video criticising YouTube policy, he shows a clip of Hitler giving a speech
• ⁠October 15, 2016: PewDiePie posts swastikas drawn by his fans
• ⁠December 8, 2016: PewDiePie wears a brown military uniform while watching a Hitler clip at the end of his video
• ⁠January 11, 2017: He hires two Sri Lankan actors on Fiverr to do a dance and hold up a sign that says ‘Death to all Jews’
• ⁠January 14, 2017: PewDiePie plays the Nazi Party anthem before bowing to a swastika in a mock resurrection ritual
• ⁠January 17, 2017: He posts a video saying ‘there’s a difference between a joke and actual, like, death to all Jews. If I made a video saying…’ at which point the camera cuts to a close-up of his face illuminated brightly – ‘Hey guys, PewDiePie here. Death to all Jews, I want you to say after me: Death to all Jews. And, you know, Hitler was right. I really opened my eyes to white power. And I think it is time we did something about this.’
• ⁠January 22, 2017: PewDiePie hires a Jesus Christ impersonator over Fiverr to say: ‘Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong.’
• ⁠February 5, 2016: At the start of the video he includes a brief Nazi salute, with a Hitler voice-over saying ‘Sieg Heil’ and text saying ‘Nazi Confirmed’.

so not just a few incidents, and pretty indefensible. and yet scores of people are defending him and they’re gaslighting people that are pointing out that this is a funnel into the neo-Nazi cult. NO ONE IS THAT STUPID.

he was dogwhistling on purpose the entire time under the guise of “herpity derpity i’m just a lovable goofball that doesn’t understand the power of my platform.” Hitler swastika Jew! (pause for laughter) oh by the way, please go harass anyone that criticizes me, like the fake news media! they made Disney fire me, those filthy curs!”

he’s had Ben Shapiro on his show. he’s followed like likes of Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux on Twitter (and then quietly unfollowed them, along with a lot of other people, obviously in the hopes that no one would notice).

i mean…what more do people need? does he need to like, shoot a Jewish person in the face while wearing an SS uniform and holding a signed copy of Mein Kampf? his fans would probably still defend him. “oh he’s just being super edgy as a reaction to all the unfair press coverage.”

fuck PewDiePie. he is a fascist and either he doesn’t have the balls to admit it or more likely, he is recruiting people into the cult (and part of recruiting is denying the existence of the cult).
