After watching the PewDiePipeline [1] video, and now learning about the Yogapipeline ... I'm starting to wonder if this is a consequence of "flooding" or accumulation of disinformation due to an always-on firehose of falsehood [2]. [1] ▶ this video [2] [link]

It doesn't matter what those people you list personally believe; the fact is their speech and behavior is de facto functioning as an entry point funneling[1] people into fascist beliefs. If that isn't their intention, they really need to stop this kind of behavior. > they do not support white supremacy and think Nazis are racist morons > NYT still calls them "white supremacist supporting." These are not in conflict; your actions can still support fascists unintentionally . When people point out your beliefs are supporting white supremacists, it might be a good idea to correct the problem. Continuing to defend the problematic behavior is when what might have been unintentional support begins to look more like intentional participation. [1] ▶ this video
