    Never been a fascist but perhaps I can see how it could have gone?

    Extreme dislike to being told what I can find funny. Any time some people try and cancel a comedian for example. Who are the people who end up defending it? If you keep following a lot of those people it may lead you down that route.

    But then my entire reason for being there in the first place is based on a dislike for authoritarianism, so perhaps that is why I lost interest as they moved towards fascism.

      I feel that there were a lot of people who got caught in a right wing whirlpool on YouTube just around the time before Trump was getting into his run. I know I watched some before I realized they were all hacks and the entire right wing space was a scam.

      The only thing they did better was convincing people that they were the more accepting group. And yeah I guess they were, for nazis, assholes, and idiots.

      Finding out that a lot of it was cultured from Epstein and his ilk is very unsurprising in hindsight.
