YouTube Is Full of Easy-To-Find Neo-Nazi Propaganda (vice.com)

An anonymous reader quotes an exclusive report from Motherboard: Through a software-aided investigation, Motherboard has found that while YouTube has managed to clamp down on Islamic extremists uploading propaganda, the video giant is still awash with videos supporting violent and established neo-Nazi organizations, even when, in some cases, users have reported the offending videos. Clips of neo-Nazi propaganda operations, hate-filled speeches, and extremists pushing for direct action have remained on the site for weeks, months, or years at a time. Arguably, many if not all of these videos may fall under YouTube's own policy on hate speech, which "refers to content that promotes violence against or has the primary purpose of inciting hatred against individuals or groups based on certain attributes," including race or ethnic origin, religion, and sexual orientation, according to the policy.

Motherboard built a tool to monitor YouTube and make a record of when the platform removed certain videos, and limited the clips to propaganda for established neo-Nazi and far-right terrorist organizations like Atomwaffen, rather than people in the so-called "alt-right." Most of the videos were discovered through simple YouTube searches of relevant organizations' names, or sometimes through the "recommended videos" sidebar after Motherboard had built up a browsing history of neo-Nazi material. For the sake of comparison, over a week-long period Motherboard also tracked pro-ISIS videos uploaded by the group's supporters and then distributed through a network of Telegram channels. Typically, YouTube removed these Islamic extremism videos in a matter of hours, including those that did not contain images of violence, but were instead speeches or other not directly violent content. But YouTube is playing catch up with neo-Nazi material. YouTube removed only two videos that Motherboard was monitoring: two identical clips of a speech from UK terrorist organization National Action.

Why bring up the 50% bit? If you really are a libertarian and really didn't vote for Hillary, you'd know we're a Republic and that the popular vote means *NOTHING*. So why even bring it up? I could bring up the fact that WJ Clinton didn't get 50% of the vote either. That a small portion of voters bothered to even vote. So what? He was President and it was done properly. So do what conservatives did - STFU.

      Bring up things that matter. Like Obummer doing very illegal things. Such as blowing off immigration with an EO for DACA. That's Congresses' perview. How about him changing the affordable care act over 20 times - which he can't do! He can only sign or veto a law, he can't fricking change it after the fact and selectively enforce it. These are just really obvious things. Then we can move onto blowing Khadaffi away and shitting young black muslims all over Europe that will eventually remove Europe from the face of the earth.

Despite the fact that the whole birth of this movement was a split from al-Qaeda on ideological basis of STOP ATTACKING WEST ON WESTERN TERRITORY the response of the West was much stronger than the response to Al-Qaeda - a massive media campaign to discredit Islamic State in the eyes of Western audience (which magnificiently backfired before finally Western media realized that the best and most common way of "radicalization" is watching CNN and after that it surrounded the military events with a shroud of secrecy - so we do not hear about brutal Dresden-level bombardments of Raqqa, Mosul and Kirkuk that did not leave a single building untouched, so we do not hear about extermination of Sunni population by Shia)

    The sole reason for Western response to Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was Islam. Period. Real Islam, with implementation of Shariah, not some personified version of it that is promoted on every single minbar in every single American mosque - five pillars, come to the Masjid, make Wudu properly, help us build a school, etc. The Islam in Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was Islam of the first three righteous generations.

Not top even mention the at least 40 million dead caused by Nazi beliefs it also took a wrecking ball to the German economy that lasted quite some time after WW2 ended. The militarization of Russia was one response to Nazi behavior. Russia was in great fear of Germany and that fear was instrumental in creating a huge communist effort to take over the world.

    3. It's a little more complicated than that. Now the censors are coming for the anti-Nazi conservatives who are debating the Nazis in "Youtube bloodsports," which means two-hour-long civil debate videos conducted over Hangouts On Air. They are actually the opposite of "bloody" debates, compared to liberal twitter: they're well-moderated and often include a lot of the "principle of charity," attacking the best version of your opponent's argument instead of wilfully misunderstanding him. Basically everything about these videos is doin'-it-right except that they include Nazis on one side. Every time a censoring happens, the anti-Nazi loses by default because the discussion just got censored by Jews, "the goyim know! SHUT IT DOWN!" and so forth, except it's not a joke because it just happened. The videos are getting shut down by literal Jews, Youtube leadership in cooperation with the ADL.
    4. As others have said, neo-Naziism is not just one thing. The censorship is changing what the mainstream of this tiny movement is about, shifting it from "White people have as much right to an ethnic identity as Jews, Blacks, Native Americans" to "White people deserve a country of their own just like the Jews, but Jewish revenge fantasies and hatred of the goyim make them spew propaganda to control the narrative, turn us against each other, and promote their interests at the expense of our own. Because of their own history they are understandably only comfortable in a globalist culture, so they are attempting to destroy our culture to bring that about. Jews don't have 'morals' the way we do; they only have 'interests,' in promoting Israel, not getting pogrommed again, and feeling comfortable in their Host Population." All of this nuance is given credibility by the censorship. Remove the censorship and the whole thing largely falls apart and turns back into the conspiracy nuttery it always was. They have a real chance of success now, because of the censorship, and I have to say, that's only fucking fair. Don't censor people, idiot. But it is all the more urgent because I do not want to be ruled by Nazis!

    It is only a subset of Jews promoting this stupid censorship (and it is really Jews. It is the literal ADL. There are Nazis, so of course Jews appear to oppose them. Nothing mysterious.). Most of the Jews I know personally are saying the same thing I'm saying. Even more urgently than non-Jews they are saying, "stop the censorship!"

    I don't think anything in America could build the white supremacist cause more than censoring people for being "Nazis." Italy is a different story: cannibalizing young teenage girls tends to embolden Nazis, too. But in America multiculturalism is basically working great. It should be easy to confront neo-Nazis in America with more speech. Unless they're right, of course. which is exactly the way it looks when they get censored.

    In Sweden "equality" has reached municipal and constitutional law and possibly in 2010 they when they started the last wave of crazy they also put in there that no Swedish citizen could be expelled from Sweden.

    As such municipals are paying to provide for illegal immigrants as well and once people get citizenship you can't force them to leave and in the courts sometimes they don't think expulsion is appropriate for the crime, other times they may not ask for it though they are supposed to (possibly because they are "humanist" or "don't think it would carry through" anyway but they aren't supposed to consider that) and Sweden don't deport people under all conditions and to all places so it may not happen anyway.

    We've got multiple tens of thousands of mostly Afghani men in Sweden who have (falsely) claimed to be children because they in general lack rights of asylum. They are still here and adults now and lack right of asylum but still we've got all these mostly women whining about how they should be allowed to stay and of course others aren't really free to speak their mind because of legal and social situations but also the general population has been told lies where these people originally was "lone-coming refugee children" and later become just "lone-coming children" and now just are "lone arrivals" or "youths who came alone" but it's still the same people and back during the most crazy period 2014-2015 the propaganda about how every fucking person was a refugee and had to come here has of course changed how people think so if you say "lone-comer" people will likely think "oh so it's one of those young men from Afghanistan" but with the old value of that person since they have been taught they are refugees.

    Also we've got one young girl belonging to the same group which are already allowed to stay which arrange lots of demonstrations and meetings with them and call for them to be allowed to stay and she and their group has made claims like "Sweden shouldn't sent people to their death!" which of course isn't true even if they were sent back to Iran or wherever they came from. She's even admitted herself that she doesn't mean biological death but "psychological death."
    Similarly #vistårinteut (#wecantstandit) made their own charts about how the people from Afghanistan who have had their age written up or become over 18 years of age only had been seen as having the right of asylum in 4-5% of the cases by the Migration office and of course used that as propaganda to demand that many more / all should be allowed to stay rather than just so few. But the alternative interpretation of course is that yes, only 4-5% of them have the right of asylum. As such a very large majority of them should be kicked out of Sweden.

    In Sweden the migration office also paid 1900 SEK / day for lone-coming refugee children and the group they argue if they should be allowed to stay are those who came before some date in November 2015 where they kinda decided to try to stop the large amount of asylum applications and made a line for whom would get to stay under old conditions/laws and who would get to stay / be judged by new ones. So they have been here a very long time and 1900 SEK / day is $84000 / year, some of them cost even more because so many come back then that it really was the sellers market as for how to house them and such. So they have cost an insane amount of money already on false claims of being children and refugees.
