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.

Like, what is the intended audience for this?

The sharty, a lot of the memes in the video are from the sharty or sharty adjacent.

What's the message?

Its a combination of cultural references like Warhammer 40,000 and Neon Genesis Evangelion, internet memes, and internet memes that are esoteric fascist propaganda. The video is like a dream about a right wing spiritual war that ends in christian self-actualization and victory. Notice the references to a plane dropping nuclear bombs and titans from Warhammer with the chud face plastered on them, along with an image of Hyperborea, a white nationalist wet dream, filled with burger king.

The original creator of the video, Hyperjumper, is an alt-right christian white supremacist pro-trump fascist who made this video and many others to grow his channel and shill memecoin.

Somebody that I Used to Know in a language I can't identify

Its Arabic.

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.

That's also what I was thinking. Based on the channel profile picture, the re-uploader appears to be a soyteen (which is what users of soyjak.party call themselves). The sharty is a grooming ground where fascists who are fucked up even by nazi standards groom teenagers into becoming gigachuds like them.

Do you have any clue how any of this connects to /r/ihaveihaveihavereddit? I used to lurk there and that's where I saw this a couple of years ago. I always thought it was weird that a lot of the memes came from a nazi website, but whenever something political came up that subreddit's politics seemed consistent with other circlejerk subreddits i.e. cynical and irony poisoned but still generally anti-bigotry and anti-capitalist.

[–] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 4 points 20 hours ago

I've never heard of that subreddit before, so I couldn't say.

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It kinda reminds me of Max0r, but where that creator uses memes that are at least somewhat recognizable to tell stories that are high energy but mostly coherent, these videos are densely populated and edited by someone deeeeeeep in fashy meme circles.

Maybe there's something to fascist spectacle here, where the video doesn't have to be coherent as long as it throws up images that are circulated in fash spaces for the viewer to draw their own conclusions about what message is being conveyed.

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you're on to something, it feels like there's some element of normalising the fascist imagery by masking it with layers of incoherence.

[–] T69@hexbear.net 12 points 23 hours ago

They managed to get Hyperborea mainstream like this.

[–] EldenRingBedTime@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Fascist hatred of objective meaning of things because they'd rather embrace capitalist-nihilism over socialism.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And these are the guys who love to accuse their enemies of being "post-modernists." Every accusation a confession etc.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 4 points 18 hours ago

Marxism itself is a Modernist philosophy and something Postmodernists are against on principle. Marxism exists within a scientific method framework where it uses precise definitions and empirical data. Postmodernism rejects rules altogether and even the concept of rules. It is explicitly against Marxism because its very definition rejects the premise of creating a science of economics and societies.

Obviously, there are Postmodern leftists looking from the perspective of the Soviet Union's failure/collapse. But since reactionaries are all dipshits who don't know fuck about fuck, they use words without knowing their meanings.

It's not trying to convince people, it's more like them spitting out stuff that resonates with themselves and people who are similarly sunk into that scene trying to out-depress each other.
