I'm so sorry. Greetings from Germany. God has nothing to do with these people. It's just racism on a new plattform. This double speak that fascists use to on the one hand dog whistle to their buddies and on the other hand mislead the public is the plan of a disgusting minority of people. Unfortunately it has to be adressed and debunked. You would be surprised that the German Nazis and the Islamist Extremists have the exact same view of modern society only with the bad guys switched. They are different in name only but just as rare. Ignorance of the general populace of their lust for violence is their greatest ally.
@@DerAua It's ironic bc islamophobia is such a pillar of conservatism in North America and Europe, but American neo-nazis LOVE jihadists. They share their videos and propaganda and basically look to Al-Qaeda and IS as models to emulate. Their world view is a hyper-violent social darwinist deathcult.
@@loverdeadly6128 they actually fucking do that?! where can i look at to research that more?
Thats so fucking weird that its hard to believe
@@TheGudStuffs It's not weird though. Conservatives in the U.S. pose with a Bible, a rifle and a flag in the background to imply using force if necessary to impose "Christian values". It is almost identical to what they fear Muslims would do via Sharia law. They pretend to hate them only because they are so similar, except for their ethnicity and choice of prophet. The Nazis also famously tried to appeal to the Muslim world with their hatred of the Jews, who at that time were living in communities all over the Middle-east rather peacefully.

19:35 His thumbnail 4 across at the top is soooo ironic. He uses a screenshot from the Japanese movie Harakiri(1962) which attempts to de-romanticise and even demonise the martial law and 'honour' of imperialist Japan, presenting it as simply a way for the powerful to exert their control over the less-powerful. However, in the thumbnail, it uses that as a sort of idealised history, which was the opposite of what the movie was trying to achieve. But absolutely watch Harakiri, one of the best movies ever with a pressure-cooker atmosphere which just builds amazingly well throughout the movie

No regard for their fellow humans or their health. Just "the economy is being destroyed by this plandemic!"

We must just do like Hungary and reward people with fiscal advantage that make a lot of children to keep our identity and our people. If we mix all people together the diversity will die and lead to an uniformisation ... Some people will call that "racist" because they have what we call a globalized view and wish like the communists of the "international" killing identities, borders, etc
So if we must make our economy strong by killing our identity it is just unacceptable ...

Steve Bannon's odd little film "Generation Zero" has a very similar Schtick - all scary mood and no content
I'm happy your here.

Perhaps the scary mood is the content in a way. Fear is what Bannon is selling. That's what he's done since he entered the political arena.
hey Dan, just to let you know that the UK is no longer a police state. we became a racism factory for a few weeks last summer before descending into a vegan totalitarian autocracy over the autumn and are now emerging into a late winter collectivist anarcho latrine in time for spring's push into a surveillance monarchy with light shades of cultural marxism. also: rain
*GASP* RAIN?!
I’m using “racism factory”, fucking hilarious.
And yet the worst is still the weather
That's the nice think about living in the UK. No matter how crazy the world gets you can always count on rain.
Rain: The thing ye jolly olde empire forgot to bring to it's colonies they were supposed to "introduce culture" to. Is Britain always raining because they even confiscated precipitation from their colonies?
Scroll down 4chan for ten minutes and you’ll find dozens of people posting about their depression and feelings of hopelessness. These guys often work dead end jobs with minimal human contact, have either had a bad relationship or feel unable to talk to women at all, and frequently post about considering suicide. It’s disgusting that they’re being exploited and that the ‘solution’ they’re being offered is only going to make all of those problems worse. On the other hand it’s tough to feel bad for them when they’re spewing such hateful and misinformed garbage that does real harm to innocent people.
Yeah, it's tough.

BPS's videos on women and the supposed decline of the West are what really drew me into the online fascist community. The social alienation and constant festering hatred I felt at that time was horrible. I've since moved well away from those sorts of beliefs and I'm so glad that I did.

I think China is a better example for this hypothesis since even the traditional chinese historiography highlights a cyclical devlopment of a virteous person gaining the mandate, corruption and ineffective administration lead to unrest, the mandate is lost, civil war occurs and a new cycle begins.
I think empires are just hard to keep united, so the longer they exist, the higher probability that they have collapsed.

I love how literally everything stated in the titles of the videos about Canada is like... not even something that most Canadians are worried about. It's just so disconnected from real Canadian politics that it's laughable.
How Canadians stand to have a huge insane asylum as a downstairs neighbour I will never understand.
@@stephenwright8824 because that aslyum has a lot of money
@@stephenwright8824 As a Canadian, that's because we aren't that far off from being like that insane asylum. I think the only reason we aren't as bad is because our population is too small for corporations to truly invest into messing up our politics like they did with the US.
I strongly believe our conservative party only wins as often as it does because of the second-hand propaganda we get from the US. Especially considering that party is held together with school glue on the best of days.
I think another thing that helps us a lot is that Québec is now very strong as a province and offers constant pushback against both Conservatives and Liberals since the province is very left-leaning.
@@Dekubud Interesting perspective but I don't know about being too small for the US corporations to try and fuck us, they do we have just kept them out for the forefront by giving Canadian companies much more power. Although this is failing on the local consumer side example of Canadian box stores, being replaced zellers, Future shop, the slow death of Home Hardware.
@@stephenwright8824 The truth is that the US and Canada have a pretty long history of positive cooperation despite our ribbing each other.

I started watching Black Pigeon Speaks years back but one video he did made me realize he wasn’t too bright and that he hated certain demographics. It was a video blaming women for the fall of ALL civilizations. And yes he said all of them. The reality of it is though, women had absolutely no power in most civilizations back then lmao. The men did. He also said that because he believed women destroyed civilizations, then their vote should be stripped away from them. Yeah he’s got problems for sure. His amount of subscribers despite his freaky ideologies scares me.
Oh shit. That was the same crap that Stefan Molyneux used to spew before he got banned.
They also say that immigrants destroy civilisations, when immigrants similarly tend to have zero real power. As this video points out, history is not based in recognisable patterns in any substantive way, and thus any claim that X destroys civilisation will always be provably wrong, as equal amounts of historical examples of the opposite outcome will be presentable no matter what the claim is. That is the nature of history. There's no pattern models.
ngl, the exact same thing happened to me. Kinda woke me up to the whole rabbithole I was falling down. Might be cause I'm a girl that I found that video so shocking but it made me realise these people don't value other people
and his like bar. he must use bots
He was right though 🤣
I almost fell down the Black Pigeon rabbit hole until he started talking about things I had known very well: the stark contrast between his blatant lies and misrepresentations of the material I knew about with the apparent soundness of his other arguments led me to quickly re-evaluate and double-check everything he (and any other such commentator) ever says.
Yet! If I had not undergone similar processes before, I believe I wouldn't have been able to easily spot the lies and misrepresentations, instead rationalizing those as mistakes.
That was my way out of the Jordan Peterson et al bubble.

I came here from Shaun’s 300K Q&A shout-out to you-I like what I see so far! But also, this called to my mind Innuendo Studios’ live presentation on how the alt-right is like an abusive relationship-in order to get people on board, he said in that presentation that he actively chose to compare the alt-right to an abusive relationship rather than a cult in his title, and I can see why they did that, but it seems like it really is very similar to a doomsday cult. Shaun asked once “why is everything so cataclysmic with these alt-right guys?” And I think the answer is “same reason everything is so cataclysmic with those doomsday cults: that’s how they get you in. They sell you on the fact that everything is the problem, and THEY are the only ones who have the solution, and bam-another day, another cultist.”

God, I can't believe I used to watch that dude. No wonder I was so depressed back then. I found him and others like him Sophomore year of high school, had a really conservative phase and even lost some friends because of it. So glad I'm out of that, as a young impressionable woman, it really did some self esteem damage. Now I hear BPS's voice and I cringe
Edit: Thanks everyone for the support, and I hope all of you guys who had a similar experience are doing ok now and are able to find peace of mind
I feel like every high schooler went through that phase in one way or another. Because back in the day being " Anti sjw " wasn't what it is today. Like I use to bash on sjw's and extreme feminist a lot but I always realized that the vast majority of women and feminist in general were kool. I mean at most I just thought there was a little to much transgender stuff being taught to kids ( although looking back I still think I was heIIa cringy) however nowadays most anti sjws just seem to be borderline white nationaIist.
I think most of us go through that phase at some point. As young people try on different ideologies and worldviews like shoes until they find something that fits.
@Anglus Patria Please see a therapist
@Anglus Patria what is wrong with you?
@Cian McCabe You're right, a fascist he is.
When I was first starting to realize I was gay I repressed everything, I let my confusion fester into depression and anger. By sheer chance I began watching people like black pigeon and sargon and believed every word. I let what they made mold me, because it gave me something to be angry at during one of the worst times of my life, but I managed to get out of that way of thinking. Even though I still struggle with depression I'm better now, and I really hope other folks duped by these people get better too.
Very glad we both made it out of that rabbit hole :) much happier now
I wonder if BPS wants people to feel hopeless/depressed so they can be incited into rage and violence against targets of the far-right more easily. I feel like that's his long-term game.
If you've ever been in far right spaces on the internet like iFunny or /pol/ (or hell even Fox News), you'll see that that is exactly what's going on. The right capitalizes on people who live in utter shitholes and are already depressed and sells them on the hope that things used to be better and all we have to do is regress society back to those good times.

I’m assuming in good faith that he’s referring to a sort of proverbial tyranny whereby anarchy results in a state of constant oppression by fear; or he’s referring to an anarchistic situation wherein individuals are ruled by autocrats or struggling warlords.
@@arminiuschieftainofthecher2780 But when that happens then it's no longer anarchy. Basically it's just another state or empire. In that sense we already live in anarchy and all the current states are just brutal empire's trying to dominate the mad max wasteland. Which actually kinda makes sense in a philosophical way and he would have a point if that's what he meant, but I doubt it.
Anarcho usually refers to an organization or community equally distributing power among all members, thus no one has more power and becomes the ruler. Anarcho capitalism is an oxymoron as capitalism is naturally unequal in power distribution, it's like saying anarcho-monarchy or anarcho tyranny state. It's not actually anarchy, it's just slang for saying "as little state intervention as possible"
Andrew Godly I agree with you for the most part; I simply don’t see how someone could be so foolish as to deem anything “anarcho-tyranny” without it having some other, more nuanced meaning. Perhaps I’m approaching BPS with too much good faith.
The alternative is that he is referring to the sort of shit shows we see in Somalia, wherein there isn’t really a government (and thus it could be considered anarchy.) But at the same time there are dozens of Warlords who are autocrats, squabbling over what little they have left.
@300bpm haha. You dont even know what communism means. It doesn't have anything to do with dictators or a 1 party system. Communism is when a community controls and manages itself. It's when workers actually own their work and receive all the fruits of their labor. If anything anarcho-communism is communism in it's purist form as it's the most democratic of all types of communism.
In response to the question given at 2:15 about the current state of the UK: we are currently turbulent but progressing swiftly towards Fully-Automated-Luxury-Gay-Space-Communism.

To be honest I think that the doomsday thinking is not reserved to the far right. But yeah that black pigeon dude is just milking it to a ridiculous degree.

It was the point were I took a good hard look at my own views and adjusted accordingly.

@@leighjordine4031 what?
But if you ask a lefty if/why the world as we know it is ending, they will at least tell you something that's verifiable e.g. "nuclear proliferation and brinkmanship", "climate change", or "conservatives in N. Am. who are literally trying to build a time machine and zap us back into the 1950s despite the clear risks of causing a time-paradox."

All this kind of junk makes more sense remembering that these sort of people are nationalists. They think "their" country is better and identify their ancestors as the heroes and statesmen of whatever great civilization they arbitrarily trace themselves back to (probably Rome) rather than the very ordinary people from a variety of cultures that their ancestors actually were. This idea that they are descended from their idealized version of this civilization is vital to their identity, and so if reality doesn't match up to what they perceive to be "ideal," it must be due to foreign/ _female_ influence and moral decay.

Every extreme political faction has its kernels of truth, i wouldn't throw out the baby with the bath water. Im left wing on most things, but i agree with the right on a couple things.
- Black crimes statistics are ignored by the MSM.
- I think society has taken a bit of dangerous an anti-white turn(although its nothing compared to jim-crow).
- There is no institutional racism against blacks in modern western society(unless you redefine institutional racism to mean unequal outcomes).
- Racial differences in intelligence exist, and there is not much we can do about it (ive heard all the counter arguments, and im not convinced).
- Islam needs to social reform and we should be wary of how much islamic immigration the west allows
- having one national language is way better.
-We ought to maintain identities people value, at least somewhat( a bit meta-ethical, sounds small but this has many general social implications, from immigration to trans-rights)
greetthemoth you are not left on most things, because most things are not matters of political dispute. In things that are on dispute you are a fash.
Honestly, Canada lacking a central national culture and no real identity is part of why it's kinda nice to live here. Nationalism is gross and dangerous and it's really nice to not have it shoved down my throat constantly.
I barely if ever hear someone who's genuinely a Canadian supremacist or someone who believes in "Canada first" (unless Quebec counts, in which case Quebec supremacy and nationalism is all they talk about). Which makes it really easy to see myself as just a "citizen of the world" and not put other Candians above people in other countries
Narional identity is kind of... bad? It just enables governments to take advantage of its people for all kinds of bigotry
Canada tends to lack a strong nationalist culture precisely because of Quebec. Due to the fact that the British Empire had to appease Quebec in order to avoid civil war nationalism never really developed.

A term I tend to name BPS and his kind:
"Pessimist voyeur"
A person that watches someone get sad by feeding them lies and exploiting their sadness for profit.
It comes from two things.
1: Pessimism (sad outlook on life)
2: Voyeurism (a fetish that involves watching people)
Black Pigeon Speaks responded to this video. I saw his response and i rate it.. NOT GOOD
it's, uh... it's [NOT GOOD] *explosion*
I watched it, and it's more name calling rather than a rebuke with substance. Most of the content was him rebroadcasting someone else's anti-Three Arrow video.
Do you know who is the gay who had made this anti tree arrow video
Just to hammer home how repetitive BPS' content is, look at his thumbnails that are included in the video.
Of the videos talking about England:
-Two of the seven share the exact same thumbnail, with one other that has the same thumbnail but pallet swapped to a different colour
-Two feature the exact same image, with the only difference being that the stylized text on the image is chaged
-And two that aren't quite as similar as the others, they do however both feature a memeified image of the Queen
Of the 11 videos about Canada:
-With one exception, they ALL feature Justin Trudeau in the thumbnail
-Two thumbnails feature the exact same image of Trudeau, with one other that I guess is from the same photoshoot because he is in the same clothes, just a different pose, but that one shares the exact text with one of the other two
-The picture of Trudeau shaping a heart with his hands appears twice
-Three videos share the same thumbnail even down to the text, with the only differences being colour changes and the stylized image of Trudeau being in a different position in each of them
-And while we're on text, the phrase "Current year" appears a total of SEVEN TIMES
Its also worth noting that of these videos, (both the ones about England and Canada) of which there are 18, only six don't go above ten minutes (and even they get pretty close so I guess he really couldn't stretch those ones), and all the others are only at best a couple minutes longer, with several being barely seconds above the ten-minute mark. Gotta crank that add revenue, am I right?!
Isn't all conservatism kind of pessimistic? It's always about the idea that they way things are or the way things used to be is how they should be, because it won't get any better than that.
It's also one of the oldest world views. There's even Sumerian writing where it's said that "back then it was better".

@JohnnyTheWolf I think the reason y he is enamored by Japan is
1. Pretty lights and anime
2. Unequal treatment and restricted opportunities for women
3. Very strict migration policy (wondering when he will get deported).
4. Hyper capitalism
5. Govt policy to revise history (nothing bad ever happened in China, and Japan was a poor victim).
Also these right wingers seem to be the biggest critics of the west yet project this on their opponents.
This is exactly true. It doesn't just happen with RUclips either, it is a general practice of extremists to take in the vulnerable, those who are without social protection, family or friends, isolated individuals, and make extremists of them. It is also how cults work.

I suspect that the folk who most need to see these videos - those prone to being persuaded by BPS and his ilk - won't have the patience to digest the thorough detail Three Arrows puts in.
I'll also second the idea that alt-right sympathy is not a universal symptom of depression. There's a myriad of reasons for causal depression, in some cases, observing the current influence of alt-right politics and the ease with which some individuals buy into the ideology can be a real downer. And then there's the idea of strictly endogenous depression (which coincidentally plays well with producers of anti-depressant pharmaceuticals)... Certainly, extremists will often try to take advantage of people who are lost in life, and/or so desperate to belong that they'll even embrace hateful paranoia, but not all of us are THAT desperate. My self-esteem might hover around rock bottom now and then, but this doesn't mean I'll degrade myself further by looking uncritically to xenophobic ideology as a panacea.
Sorry to hear that. :-( I hope your brother grows out of those xenophobic ideas & finds his own direction.
Confused young people look for an identity. They might find it in nationalism/conservatism, they might find it in Socialism, or maybe they will find it in the furry community. Channels like BPS are a recruitment tool, intentional or not.
You aren't going to get most people to drop their identity with well reasoned arguments because that isn't what made them assume that identity in the first place. You'll have to replace it with another one. Preferably something more positive for both them and the world.
@JeanClaude Clemenceau Sooooo what? You're the enlightened one who shall lead us down the plath of glory?
Do you have any idea how pretentious you sound when you try to hamfist your knowledge of religions and pop culture into this btw?
And in regards to the other thing, yes, having a youtuber dissect a video is indeed easier than analysing one by yourself. Not as good for polishing your debate skills but that's not the issue here is it?
And BPS deliberately misinformed, as this video showed, where did TA lie? Portraying them as equals in this is kinda disingenuous don't you think?
@JeanClaude Clemenceau I agree that donning rose coloured spectacles is, in the long term, not helpful. Telling 'white lies' should only be a last resort to avoid self-destruction (or other-destruction for that matter), but carries the risk that the individual's ego may not survive the possibility of disillusionment further down the road.
When one feels low, how tempting it might be to believe they are part of a "chosen people", inherently superior by birth! One could go from self-hate to resting on the laurels of merely existing in a heartbeat! One of the major downsides to this is having to constantly and artificially reinforce the mindset, not unlike Charlie Zelenoff insisting on his supreme pugilistic skills, no matter how many times he gets knocked down. I'm not averse to intellectual effort, provided it isn't wasted on such ideological dead-ends for the sake of self-worth.
i'm going to go out on a limb here and say the left does not have a monopoly on censorship. Book burnings in WWII take all of a nanosecond to spring to mind. The States even had book burnings, those of the work of WIlhelm Reich, for example, as well as attempts by conservative Christian groups to ban various titles. Note also the antebellum refusal of the US Postmaster General to carry abolitionist materials. Or the journalism ban during the invasion of Grenada in the 80's, the press restrictions during the Gulf War, the invasion of Iraq, or George W. Bush's censorship of climate studies. Pity that your excellent reply was lost by youtube and this one is all that was left behind, but the argument that only the left practices censorship is demonstrably false.
Per Japanese racism, how happy were the Ainu people, when discriminated against by the Wa-jin? How happy were the 'comfort women' abducted from abroad and abused? A burglar may be happy to loot your home, a murderer happy to end their victim, but this happiness alone does not qualify their acts as good.
I'm Canadian and there are plenty of things to hate Canada for (our continued racism and disregard for Indigenous peoples, as a prime example), but everything BPS talks about is ridiculous, overblown, or just plain wrong
As a Canadian, i can say the economic growth, comes at the working class's expense here in Canada.
All growth everywhere under capitalism comes at the workers' expense. That's the whole point.

Whenever profits are obtained it's at the expense of workers
I am so glad I got out of the "anti-SJW" rabbit hole in time before I was made into an outright neo-nazi.
I think you hit gold there with the link between fascism and depression. For me they went hand in hand. The time of my life I spent depressed and crippled by mental illness were also the years I spent listening to Sargon videos and the likes. I was dragged deeper and deeper as my depression grew, but with eventual help from therapists and medicine I managed to beat the depression and get my life back on track.
Its almost spooky how when I snapped out of my depression, decided to be a better person and to reinvent myself I also changed my view on politics and other people.
I realized that almost all the opinions I once had that I thought were based on logic and fact was infact based completely on emotions.

It started with "this line of thinking isn't going to help me", "blaming these people isn't going to help me", "no one is going to help me, i need to do something about this". I also realized that the content was so repeated and redundant. I unsubscribed from thunderfoote once i realized his content was just going to be repeatedly criticizing Sarkeesian. Then it was a progression of unsubscribing from people who made the same fucking video over and over and over.
In the end, it was a mixture of self help and getting tired of hearing the same things constantly.

It's pretty on the nose to constantly use Spengler. He was a Royalist and Nationalist that thought Democracy was the end of the world. He didn't like the nazis much but he thought Mussolini would become the next ceasar to rule europe.
The Nazis on the other hand really liked Spenglers work (though you have to add that they later did burn one of his books because of open critique on the nazi party). That BPS talks about him all the time should prove how much overlap Spenglers ideas had with those of the nazis.
Spengler captures a nostalgia and melancholy with a romantic lost youth mood that is appealing to the reactionary mind in general including conservatives, religious and far right people. Socialists and liberals that expect a imperialist capitalism nuclear war or climate catastrophy doomsday clock often like Spengler, too. Probably all people with a high affinity to negative emotion.

@Crawford Hogan Oh, he sounds lovely:
"Samuel Todd Francis (April 29, 1947-February 15, 2005), known as Sam Francis, was an American paleoconservative, writer, and syndicated columnist in the United States.
"He was a columnist and editor for the conservative Washington Times until he was fired after making allegedly racist remarks at the 1995 conference of the group American Renaissance.[1] Francis would later become a "dominant force" on the Council of Conservative Citizens,[2] an anti-black, anti-immigrant group that espoused racism.[3] Francis was chief editor of the council's newsletter, Citizens Informer, until his death in 2005.[4]
"Scholar George Michael, an expert on extremism, identified Francis as one of "the far right's higher-caliber intellectuals".[5] The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, described Francis as an important white nationalist writer known for his "ubiquitous presence of his columns in racist forums and his influence over the general direction of right-wing extremism" in the United States.[4] Analyst Leonard Zeskind called Francis the "philosopher king" of the radical right,[4] writing that "By any measure, Francis's white nationalism was as subtle as an eight-pound hammer pounding on a twelve inch I beam."[6] Scholar Chip Berlet described Francis as an ultraconservative ideologue akin to Pat Buchanan,[7] to whom Francis was an advisor.[8] Hans-Hermann Hoppe called Francis "one of the leading theoreticians and strategists of the Buchananite movement".[9] To Jared Taylor "Francis was the premier philosopher of white racial consciousness of our time".[10]"

I often genuinely feel really pessimistic about the future of my country, the UK, but for the exact opposite things that BPS blames for causing the downfall of Britain. A very right wing government is in power with a large majority, the Coronavirus is killing a lot of people, we've left the EU which is going to cause a lot of disruption and economic damage, and so many people have been laid off. A new wave of post-virus austerity seems likely. It just seems like this just isn't one of those countries where things can get better.

The West clearly seems to refer to white people in this context.
Central and South America are located in the western hemisphere too and just as North America were heavily influenced by European culture and people.
But because the majority of the population in these regions is not white (and yes, there are white people) they are usually not thought of as “Western”.
Despite having similar cultural heritage and religion.

Uruguayan here. While true, it should be noted that our political traditions are much more radical and underlined by anti-European and anti-US sentiment, in the first place because we're breakaway colonies from Portugal, Spain, Italy, et cetera, but also because we remained relatively uninvolved with the allied and axis forces during the second world war, and later got fucked over hard by the US's red scare period ending with a dozen democracies and republics being toppled and going through periods of established pro-capitalist dictators.
