The success of Jordan Peterson and other Alt-Right figures has really made me question how anyone with a brain could fall for such dumbed down and blatantly stupid propaganda, then it hit me... this doesn't have anything to do with ideas, this has everything to do with numbers.

The Alt-Right have tricked people into believing they are a popular option by pushing themselves into the overton window. They've done this by manipulating & commandeering the algorithms of platforms that choose to remain ignorant to their strategy much like

The ignorance and willingness of such platforms allows them to easily rack up numbers and perpetually rise to the top of the algorithm, these ideas and figures then seem validated in the eyes of many as they're now normalized & aren't as scary the next time they hear such things.

Mission accomplished, they've validated their ideas and they're now in the mainstream not because of the ideas themselves, but because tech companies could care less about Nazis manipulating their platforms on a scale that could effect millions after it's all over.

As long as they've got numbers & the freedom from tech companies to manipulate algorithms with a big green light... they'll continue their campaign of manipulating reality itself and the propaganda they carry on it's side will manifest in the real world in devastating ways.

This is not going to stop spreading if nothing is done. It's only a matter of time before somebody starts talking about a need for media literacy and uh oh... the attacks start and nobody is left to speak out for such initiatives. Tech companies MUST take action now.

As silly as it may sound to some unaware of their tactics, I noticed a massive up-tick in the popularity of Alt-Right content & figures after YT added it's "autoplay" feature. I say @TeamYoutube take a stand against profit in exchange for keeping the Alt-Right off it's platform.
