This video is so well edited and energetic (but also completely nonsense in a postmodern context collapse kind of way) that it really intrigues me to try to figure out why it was made. Based on the other stuff that the channel that made it seems to have published, I think it’s probably fascist propaganda, but I really can’t figure out how it accomplishes that function. Like, what is the intended audience for this? What’s the message? Can anyone get something out of this?

I kind of want to write out like an alt text explaining what the video is for anyone who doesn’t want to click, but it’s a bit impossible to describe. It’s a minute long, rapid fire edit with lots of different soyjak/chudjak drawings in various settings, edited with some animated filters that make it all very surreal. There’s a few transitions between ‘scenes,’ with each one having a different song. The first sounds a bit like Nightcore, the second is hip hop that reminds me a big of the kind of Memphis rap in similar fascist phonk edits, then a final bit with a cover of Somebody that I Used to Know in a language I can’t identify. The last bit contains images of Jesus in some kind of astral plane.

    The sharty, a lot of the memes in the video are from the sharty or sharty adjacent.

    That’s also what I was thinking. Based on the channel profile picture, the re-uploader appears to be a soyteen (which is what users of soyjak.party call themselves). The sharty is a grooming ground where fascists who are fucked up even by nazi standards groom teenagers into becoming gigachuds like them.

      Do you have any clue how any of this connects to /r/ihaveihaveihavereddit? I used to lurk there and that’s where I saw this a couple of years ago. I always thought it was weird that a lot of the memes came from a nazi website, but whenever something political came up that subreddit’s politics seemed consistent with other circlejerk subreddits i.e. cynical and irony poisoned but still generally anti-bigotry and anti-capitalist.
