i know its fun to dunk on "gullible idiots" and "racist morons" but we need these people to talk about it. Its also seemingly pretty damn easy to play on these peoples emotions and getting them to slowly enter the alt right arena. Hell even here on Era i've seen people say they watch some liberal youtube video only to get recommended alt right bullshit.
There are millions of kids out there right now, whose parents watch Fox News, literally every day. They're getting brain washed at a super early age. But yes, lets blame them because they're "just idiots."
propaganda is a helluva drug people.
this.
Its not like these videos are like hey come be racist with me. They start small "asking questions" red pilling you deeper and deeper into it.
this also should be required viewing.

Pretty easy
1) Create an envrionment where people looking for a sense of belonging feel welcome.
2) Let them air out their grievances
3) Start planting seeds on why "the others" are more to blame than the persons owns failings, or the unrelated environmental factors around the person
4) Normalize the blame on minorities of all kinds and present the concept that "they" (the new people) are being robbed unjustly of what they deserve.
5) The new people in the group, coming into it already feeling like they have been dealt a bad hand, rationalize this new direction to blame issues in their life and the world on the targeted minority groups.
6) Amp it up to 11 and eventually the person is now your average alt right racist radical. The alt right group has created a sense of purpose and belonging and have created easy to identify targets on other political groups/people for everyone to attack and blame issues in life on.
this.
and this.Because it's not presented as racism, more like an unveiling of some grand cosmic truth that the "man" doesn't want you to know about. The layers are peeled back little by little, until you're in the thick of the alt right forest despite the fact that you couldn't even recall entering it in the first place.

..why exactly would they think they are racist?I love how no one can admit they are racist while they are being racist just like no Republicans can admit trump is destroying the country while they are active in politics.
