This video is so well edited and energetic (but also completely nonsense in a postmodern context collapse kind of way) that it really intrigues me to try to figure out why it was made. Based on the other stuff that the channel that made it seems to have published, I think it's probably fascist propaganda, but I really can't figure out how it accomplishes that function. Like, what is the intended audience for this? What's the message? Can anyone get something out of this?

I kind of want to write out like an alt text explaining what the video is for anyone who doesn't want to click, but it's a bit impossible to describe. It's a minute long, rapid fire edit with lots of different soyjak/chudjak drawings in various settings, edited with some animated filters that make it all very surreal. There's a few transitions between 'scenes,' with each one having a different song. The first sounds a bit like Nightcore, the second is hip hop that reminds me a big of the kind of Memphis rap in similar fascist phonk edits, then a final bit with a cover of Somebody that I Used to Know in a language I can't identify. The last bit contains images of Jesus in some kind of astral plane.

If we were watching it in person on a device I could do a frame by frame analysis of whats going on. Its packed full of esoteric imagery combined with right wing memes. Angels, traced over classical european paintings, wizards, gendo ikari, impjak. All with the goal of making a white supremacist race war and genocide look cool.

The nuclear bombs and Warhammer imagery, along with the phrase in the middle of the video "Nuking is now legal" can be taken as a reference to spreading right wing propaganda on the internet, trvth nvkes. The video can be interpreted as a postmodern irony-poisoned call to action among right wing internet users to post more, this is how they like to think of themselves while they are posting on the internet. Fighting an esoteric spiritual war to usher in a white utopia.

I think this video predates the mass proliferation of the trvth nvke meme, I saw it in October 2023 and kym says that, while "truth nuke" was in common parlance among chuds in 2022, it only became popular on the left in 2024 with a Juniper tweet, and I think usually in Sharty they always are reacting to what's going on in discourse across the board (like how they use the word chud to refer to themselves, in reaction to the left using it). I think it's more likely that the nuke part of this video is being literal about some kind of nuclear war scenario.
