They picked an extreme example but the truth is that there is a large and vocal group within the "geek" community of gamers, sci fi fans, and comic book readers, that is moving to the right quickly.

The reason is that the media they love, the games, the movies, the comics, have become extreme propaganda that is demonizing them specifically, and when they complain they are called viscous names by the creators. The left has driven them rightwards. The result is the "Get woke, go broke" phrase where evidence of overt PC / lefty messaging in a work will get it insta-boycotted by them.

And it's all because the leftists ruined the things they loved by politicising them. Obsessive fans can become obsessive in other ways too.

And no doubt a taste of bile in the journalists mouth using it.

So who are the left-wing hate groups, NPR?

Yes. NPR is one of them.

Gamers are tired of liberal PC nonsense creeping into games. Gamers are complaining and fighting back and this is the response from Progressive press and designers. I guess they forgot “Gamergate”.

Video games are more popular with white boys than with black boys. That makes it automatically evil in the eyes of NPR.

But rap music about raping and killing white people ain’t worth reporting on.

You are correct.

Kids wouldn’t be downloading such stuff if they did not see it happening to them, and those around them, every single day.

When TV and other mass media demonizes white males (Surprise surprise, white boys consider themselves white males!!!) 24/7 then they see the entire world attacking them personally.

I would bet that in the minds of the boys the “Jew” part of the equation is limited to left wing Jews in this country (since media is heavy with them) and that most of them are pro-Israel. After all Israel has some great programmers and some great soldiers (face it, they’ve been kicking butt on the muzzies for decades)

Add to that the fact that dad is a wuss (crying? really???) and it is no surprise that his son would be looking for male role models. Someone with the balls to do what needs to be done. Surely he won’t find such men on the left wing (unless he goes far left wing to the Nazis) and his dad has likely demonized the right wing to him since he was born.

Several black men attacked NY synagogues last week inclunding a gay antisemite from the Democrats’ hate crimes office in NYC.

All of that is down the memory hole.

Either it was a far left false flag operation or evidence of antisemitic black nationalists who are tolerated within the democrat party.

Either way those on the right got blamed for arson and death threats coming from the left

“He turned them over and found a copy of a notorious neo-Nazi propaganda book”

What was that? A pocket copy of the Constitution?

I wonder when “face down” and “face-down” morphed into “facedown.”

The dims got everything they wanted out of the house, so it doesn’t matter that they control it now. Ryno is no different then Peelousy It went from awful to awful

But at least now the situation is simplified, there is now only one enemy to deal with instead of two.


That is one way of looking at it

I like it

If by “right-wing hate group” you mean “anyone who lacks the Josef Stalin Seal of Approval ...”
