oh nice, that’s actually really interesting to me :0 especially since even today, one of the most popular YTP creators is that guy who mashes up clips from alt-right fascist bastards for the sake of mocking them—didn’t realize the political precedent went that far back! web history / histories of internet subcultures is one of my fave special interests
+ personally as an antifascist queer man in subcultural scenes, i’m also intensely interested in wrapping my head around why/how nazi groups past-&-present often manage to attract [or even are spawned by??] certain small clusters of queer men (while he’s a conservative imperialist rather than a full-blown nazi, Yukio Mishima has been a useful case study for me)
