Lol the pirate party in the country I’m from was co opted by Nazis
Not trying to be a dick, i simply don’t know, but what does that have to do with the post and pewdiepie?
Well in the post the OP stated that Pewdiepie was a supporter of the pirate party as if this negated any claims to him being right wing. I just wanted to point out that the pirate party can have right wing elements as was the case here.
Edit I’m not trying to be a dick but what did adding that statement at the bottom of the post have to do with pewdiepie using Linux?
I for one am very happy to see! He is a great influence to a lot of people and showing that Linux isn’t scary will boost numbers by a solid amount ✌️
He is a great influence to a lot of people
lmao
Let’s call it “big” influence , maybe?
hey cool the nazis using the nazi made wm
I’m out of the loop on this one? A Swedish using a Polish WM, and you call them Nazis?
I know that the hyprland dev has strong political opinions, but I genuinely dont know what they are because I don’t care, and I use another WM. Are they really both Nazis? I dont know because I dont follow these guys. I dont want this word to be misused when actual Nazis are trying to take over the free world again
Vaxry was acting Polish in front of Drew DeVault and was immediately labeled nazi apologist.
The discussion went like this:
— is there anything that could sway your opinion towards genocide?
— well, claiming “no” would be presumptuous, I am just a human, so, probably yes?
— I rest my case
“look at me! give me attention!”
I managed to avoid finding out who or what PewDiePie is back when he was a meme and I have no intention of finding out now
Doesn’t change the fact that he’s a Nazi.
What happened?
I don’t agree that he’s a nazi but he did some pretty heinous things, like tricking these people into writing this horrible sign:
https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/13/14605060/pewdiepie-disney-deal-lost-nazi-anti-semitic-imagery
and he did a hard-r on stream.
I don’t think this qualifies for being a nazi (he doesn’t advocate for an authoritarian dictatorship or a protectionist economy, nor does he want to scapegoat a group for all of his countries problems), but it is awful, racist, and disgusting.
But I don’t really care if people do call him a nazi, to be clear, it’s probably more effective messaging anyway.
He’s drop the n bomb multiple times on stream
Maybe he identifies as black.
Plus PewDiePie has openly supported the Pirate Party, witch is far from Authoritarian, in fact, anti-corruption, anti-authoritarianism, and advocates for direct democracy, internet freedom, privacy, etc…
Edit: @[email protected] I have to agree, what he said, on that bridge, he should not have said, but labeling him a Nazi is not right!
Edit 2: It takes 1 brain-cell to check if Felix is a Nazi!
That’s not how the internet works. You make one mistake and the online leftists never forgive you.
All of that was over half a decade ago. At this time on YouTube, everyone was doing edgy jokes. He has spent the meantime bettering himself.
I don’t watch him, so can’t tell, this just popped up in my mastodon feed, from someone else! <3
I’m not a fan of this guy. I think he’s an insufferable edgelord.
But he’s not a nazi. Stop throwing labels you do not understand around.
I’ve never wanted to use it less now tbh
Does Hyprland work well for gaming compared to KDE? Can it do HDR, VRR and so on?
Always wanted to try a tiling WM but was afraid of losing features.
Hyprland soon to be known as “the Nazi OS” if it keeps getting shown off by a well known swedish neo Nazi
dropping pewds in ml and getting upvotes wasn’t on mine
The whiteness of these people shows through in weird ways.
Bad whiteness or good whiteness?
Nazi and transphobic. OP should be ashamed of posting this.
He’s an attention-seeking edgelord and a buffoon, but I highly doubt the Nazi allegations. This comes from someone who genuinely believes in the right to punch Nazis. We need to be careful about throwing the Nazi-card in all directions, or the real ones will slip through the cracks (some have already managed to skip into positions of power while us plebs are squabbling). He did a couple of insanely stupid things that he should have grown out of by age 15, hopefully he learned from that.

Well, I see the problem now. Punching people doesn’t solve Nazism.
If you were advocating for reeducating them, revoking their right to vote, or even putting them in prison, fine. But punching people is just some weird power fantasy, “I’m better than you because I beat you up.”
The fact you think beating people up just to feel dominant or whatever is good politics shows you have a lot in common with Pewds… and, well, Nazis.
You guys are too far gone.
This is one of the most libbed up things I’ve ever seen a lemmygrad user post… Are you just a wrecker account?
Are you saying the CPC is libbed up for deliberately using reeducation and formal justice systems to resolve the recurrent terrorism problem in Xinjiang rather than using force and naked brutality like liberal “democracies” usually do? Keeping in mind that the Xinjiang policies have been effective while imperialist violence has deepened and entrenched conflicts, and that those ongoing conflicts which have been resolved through pure force specifically use lethal weapons and mass execution, not some embarrassing discount Incredible Hulk imitation.
Or I guess we should be real here that you’re just fedposting.
Ok good luck with your state-sponsored reeducation programs in your Nazi-adjacent Western democracies where the left holds no political power 👍.
For everyone else who has a fucking clue: when your government has a gestapo police state that rounds up and deports the people the state has deemed undesirable, guess what? The Nazis are already in control.
Do you think the Soviets should have run around slapping random people who used to be in the Wehrmacht? Do you think throwing your milkshake at some German who supported Hitler in 1932 would have stopped the Nazis?
Punching random goons achieves nothing for the people. It is not praxis, it is not a revolutionary action, and saying you support it doesn’t suggest that you take actual steps to oppose anyone.
How about you being ashamed about parroting unbased allegations. PewDiePie never showed significant evidence he is a Nazi and transphobic. The two mistakes he did in his 1000ands hours of content he apologized and condemned the behavior.
The words nazi and transphobe have lost their meaning because of how much hysterical people have used them when they’re not applicable.
Holy stockholm syndrome. Nazi and transphobe have lost their meaning because we lives in a transphobic nazi society.
Lol, thanks for proving my point.
I have a feeling this thread won’t be about Linux.
A transpobic twm and a nazi. Match made in hell.
Honestly I started looking into it (found some articles from 2017 where he showed Nazi imagery) and started asking myself wtf am I doing.
Calling people Nazis over the tamest crap is so old. I’m so done with the liberal crowd on Lemmy jerking each other off over simplistic issues. Get a grip.
He said a no no word in a fit of rage in a livestream over half a decade ago. Ever since then he’s spent time being a better person. But internet neckbeards never forgive.
my thoughts exactly. I’ll stick with sway
PewDiePie has openly supported the Pirate Party, witch is far from Authoritarian, in fact, anti-corruption, anti-authoritarianism, and advocates for direct democracy, internet freedom, privacy, etc…
It takes 1 brain-cell to check if Felix is a Nazi!
He says slurs and definitely contributed to the popularization of internet that against Indians. Not exactly a good person.
Awesome! I hope he will help share this with more folks, the friends who I’ve talked into finally giving modern non-Ubuntu Linux a shot love it, but there’s a lot of work to get over the damaged image created by the countless “linux user installing a browser” memes. I’m sure someone with his reach can help though :)
I hope he gets run over by a bus
Found out just now he made a video about it and explained his actual experience using it, it’s really cool! Glad to see more folks sharing this stuff.
what
I dunno, I’m just spit balling here, but when Google drops you from their stupid YouTube rewind videos because you said a bunch of N bombs, maybe you should just go away. I’ve used Linux as my primary OS since 1999, and my kids, aged 9 and 12 have only ever used Linux. But I’m just offering that even though he promoted Linux we might not praise him for that. I personally think he sucks, have never followed what he’s doing, but because he’s so popular his misdeeds sometimes come across my news feed.
