I miss not knowing this guy is a horrible person.

Plagiarism as well as rampant nazi iconography in his videos.

I didn't believe it at first because I had watched a bunch of his videos and didn't really get that impression. But the dog whistles were just well hidden. It's actually really bad.

Dude used to delete my YT comments so fast I thought something was wrong with my internet.

This just made me realize how right wing trolls no longer play the "It's satire but not really" game. Or maybe I just don't see them anymore

I thought everyone already knew this, dudes entire career kicked off from /pol/ related videos.

Which? The net historian or the smile guy that he's using as his pic?

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Internet Historian.

Plagiarism.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 days ago

Not even just that, apprently he a bit of a white supremacist as well.

This is one of the best YouTube essays there are imo.

Hbommerguy is the goat

Goddamn thanks for sharing

No 14/88 in this tweet? He must have plagiarized this tweet then.

Internet plagiarist

I don't know who needs to hear this right now but you can't unscramble an egg. Just know that you're a shinning beacon. It's ok to masticate so, so much and remember that all you need is it's got to be the shoes.

Literally all of the hope post communities.

If it's not said to you, for your situation, all it sounds like is this post. Absolute pandering that just feels worse when you're actually in a tough spot that words cannot fix.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I wonder who he plagiarised that from?

[–] Jikiya@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That was my first thought, and then someone in this thread did in fact find an earlier post by someone else. Though I don't know if that was the original.

It's karma time

A funny post, online slightly undercut by the fact IH is a piece of shit

Plagiarism, and the videos are full of nazi jokes/dog whistles.

LinkedIn is just madlibs for yuppies.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Damn. I really needed to hear this. Thanks. 🙏

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Damn. Tagline from a Nike commercial. I never thought about it that way.

Lemmy: when you're here, you're family

[–] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago

Will you be my family??

[–] HorikBrun@kbin.earth 5 points 3 days ago

It's okay to verb.

So deep.

Saving this to post on all of Lady Butterfly's posts going forwards.

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 1 points 2 days ago

Give her a little break. Some of us lurk memes constantly, others post what they find. I saw some very 'wholesome' interactions with her when she was talking about the trip she was going to be taking. At least she's not a bot.
