(dunk tank for the alt-right youtuber, not the OP who collected the information and posted it)

TLDR: 14/88 memes, Hitler’s b’day memes, Tucker Carlson watch parties, and following Proud Boys and Libs of Tiktok.

Never was that big into Internet Historian, but I guess I’ll remove the few videos I had in my watch later and tell youtube to stop recc’ing the channel now.

Whew. I guess you either go the idubbbz route and apologize/repent for all your past edginess and denounce that version of you and all the fans who still hold on to it or you become a nazi.

Well, there is a third option. You could be like H3 and seem all progressive and reformed till Israel starts genociding kids and then its “wat about hummus tho” and both-siding it till you’ve purged the leftist audience you were trying to build.

Can you tell I’m disappointed and still bitter?

          Being a nazi makes you a loser, not being an internet historian. Anything that exists for enough time is going to have a field of history associated with it and I don’t think people are losers for being interested in the history of the internet. It’s unrelated to the problem.

            He does comedy YouTube videos about old internet drama and dead memes and shit. Internet Historian is his channel name, it wasn’t educational and he isn’t an historian, professional or amateur.

              I understand that. I was responding originally up top to someone who said

              If you call yourself an ‘internet historian’ there’s no way you’re not a massive fucking loser.

              This could apply to people other than this loser nazi channel, which is why I disagree. I wasn’t assessing this particular channel itself or its content, which I am not familiar with and don’t care about, but the broader question of whether or not anyone who calls themselves an internet historian is a loser. I can clarify further if needed.
