This popped up on my YouTube. It’s an AI video of famous Nazi leaders doing a cover of a Hives song and, in the same spirit of “rap battles of history,” it’s pretty clever.

But the comment section is absolutely horrible… I dont know if it’s a bunch of sarcastic internet trolls or bots, but it reads like a gawdamn neo-nazi coming out party.

It isn’t “haha funny video.” It’s a bunch of “we’re back” kinda vibes.

Am I over-thinking this or are there a bunch of fascists legitimately sig heiling (o/) in a youtube comment section?

    YouTube comments are full of Nazis, this has been going on for years. In fact I’d say 9 out of every 10 modern Nazis were radicalized by YouTube first and foremost. It’s a known problem that will probably only get worse, since Google has no incentive to stop it

      No incentive to stop people from sieg heiling on their platform? I dont have a good answer for how to do free speech, but I feel like the neo nazis would be a decent place to start.
