I met Gamequoter at a Minneapolis goonmeet long long ago and he was kind of quiet and reserved but a very nice person and was absolutely not lowtax.

Outside of being a mid-40s, washed up internet celebrity who was never even terribly high profile, what would that get them? The overwhelming majority of goons here want nothing to do with him, so he hasn't got an old audience receptive to banging the fascism drum. He's not especially charismatic. He doesn't have an especially marketable skillset. And he's depressive, manipulative, and shows some non-trivial signs that he's suffering from a personality disorder. What is the draw?

But where is the outreach to him coming from? Who's pushing him to join them? Is it just because he's burned his bridges elsewhere and these people are roping him in out of some warped definition of community?

The actual core of extremist groups aren't quite as large as you might believe, although they certainly have lots of sympathizers and even so-called "operatives" doing work on their behalf in actual institutional positions. In the end they tend to recruit based on favorable conditions, because otherwise no one would actually fall for their brokebrained bullshit. Lowtax is an extremely lonely, sad white man with a massive entitlement complex who just became disenfranchised and is about to be desperate to make money with few other options. The conditions for recruitment are rarely going to get more ideal than that. Brain Curry posted:Don’t nazis view SA as a bastion of SJW culture?

I am shocked at his ability to put in effort in regards to manipulating/abusing women but that seems to be it. 1) he couldnt write articles on a set schedual 2) he couldnt do a pod cast on a set schedual 3) he cant stream video game on a set schedual 4) he cant file his immigrant wifes papers on a set schedual 5) he chose to drink on stream rather than spend time with his daughter He yells on facebook how all the patreon money went away. Even though he did nothing Also to the goon that mentioned integral like back in 2008 some version of sass found her and she talked about him on the forum. The site is now defunct as is all offshoot versions of sass. All she really talked about was how all his energy went into the website (god I wonder when he checked out) she had no mega bombs.

He has exactly the personality that would be receptive to this kind of thing, especially in his current (extremely vulnerable) circumstances. The nazis sense some familiar sentiments that he's echoing, so they're just welcoming him to wade deeper into all their twisted bullshit. It's not an organized effort, necessarily, just a bunch of dumb fucks who want to support this kind of behavior.

He cherry picked three nerds and punched the poo poo out of them as a publicity stunt for a documentary he was making about himself during the productions of Postal and Far Cry. I asked Uwe Boll on Twitter what his favorite movies were (I wanted to see if he'd respond with just his own movies and nothing else) and he replied "what the gently caress is this, a Q&A session?" and blocked me well that's my story about getting owned by Uwe Boll (but not as hard as Lowtax did) tyvm for listening

Uwe is like one of those goons who has a rapsheet 3 pages long - only difference is that he is not some gimmick troll, it's exactly what he is like in real life. I'm almost tempted to get a twitter account and contact him, buy him an account here and then see what happens.

Not entirely sure why, it'd be like finding the Imperial Japanese Army cool. people do actually find the imperial japanese army cool, for similar reasons as finding the nazis cool but if you're talking about people dressing up as nazis/referencing them in asian countries, rather than the ideology, it's that they found the fashion and presentation cool and also most of them weren't personally impacted by nazism so there isn't a ton of stigma attached to it

People in Europe and the US are more likely to view Nazi's poorly due to the fact that so many civilians who suffered under them would have belonged to people in those countries, while the same is true of the Japanese Imperial army in Asia. I remember years ago in the UFC there was a rather well-liked Canadian champion, George St-Pierre, who always came out wearing the rising sun flag on his outfits. Finally a South Korean fighter penned a really good editorial that basically said, "You're essentially wearing the equivalent to the Nazi flag to those of us in Asia." and he was like, "Whoops, my bad" and stopped wearing it. Literally the most wholesome and even-headed exchange I've ever seen in the UFC.

I don't know about actually getting roped into nazi circles proper, but I totally see Lowtax going down a road of being nazi-adjacent. Call in, complain about women and make awful jokes but absolutely insist he's just the one sane man alive. Which you know, silly chud poo poo. The difference is I don't see him getting into the authoritarian idealogy stuff out of laziness.

The narrative conveniently ignores a whole bunch of obvious poo poo like "the teenage crowd from the 00s grew up, the loser extremists got more hardcore, and reddit/facebook/4chan became sinkholes for the edgy 'ironic' racist/fascist/Nazi where they can proliferate with much less pushback, financial, and emotional cost than they ever could on SA."
