This is the far left people talk about when they say cancel culture or some shit. Some people are so miserable, they want everyone around them miserable too. Qq

Demdaru@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoHe never was. When teenagers used to scream n-word for shit and giggles, he was monetarily incentivised to do stupid stunts. No belief behind, other than to have a laugh. When he crossed the line and was critised for it, he backed off, apologised and learned from his mistakes.
But people love draging it out each and every single time he does anything, be it good or bad.

Hm, I'm not sure about that. There was a point in time where he was - even outside his videos - engaging with Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk. Echoing their philosophies and world views.
The alt-right was using him and his platform to lure teenagers in. It's possible that Felix did not even realize what was happening there. Or he was brainwashed himself for some time.
The important thing is that from 2019 onwards he clearly distanced himself from any of that.

Almost everyone at that time was engaging with those two. Matter of fact many loved elon musk. I get the point tho.
