note: PewDiePie is a videogame streamer with around 90 million subscribers. this indicates he is hands-down the most popular youtube content creator. here, NonCompete calls out some of his alt-right pandering, and shows how it becomes yet another alt-right recruiting tool for disaffected young white men.

in part 2, NonCompete answers some questions and criticisms from part 1, and then explores some ways we might go about countering racist media sources, and compares these ways to various successful strategies employed by the alt-right:

1. This really explains what was going on behind the scenes in 2016 and after

Older folks will really start to understand what was going on if the watch this. The chaos that is the internet really does a number on people. I wish more people saw this.

2. there's a really big deal happening right under our noses

people are prone to writing off the alt-right internet presence as irrelevant, but it's a real thing. 10 years ago, people might have been correct to dismiss it as a load of malarkey, but now that malarkey is getting people injured and killed.

as someone who games and watches a fair bit of youtube, i see these caustic ideas leaking into common discourse at an alarming rate.

youth internet culture is changing radically in certain ways that will make us all quite sad if they continue unopposed. we need to wake up and see what's happening before it's more too late than it already is now.

3. I think this is one of two big factors that lead to President T

We've had the internet influence people since the turn of the millennium--and I know it's been around longer than that but these new problems only started since 2000 or even in 2010's. Social Media is just as strong as TV and this pipeline happens to be the new face evil incarnate. It's not even a single person or idea. Most trolls do it for the chaos. Chaos and Lols. I am not a gamer but I got no tv just a laptop and I can tell that influence is really strong with cool kids and gamers. I think the real problems are our intellectual, lonely, or unpopular people kinda fall into this. A lot of people failed to see this problem since the beginning.
