smh. almost did a good thing but the adulation from his psycho chanlord followers was more important
I don't think he, personally, is actually a white supremacist, it's all just eDgY jOkeS to him, but he would have to know how many of his fans actually are and if he cared at *all* about dispelling how terrible a look that is he'd be more proactive with acts like this kind of charity stuff. But he doesn't need to be because he has 100 million sycophants who'll worship him as long as he keeps being a piece of shit. at a certain point it doesn't matter if he is one or not, he's become a figurehead for them and won't speak out about it for fear of losing his coins.

You're probably right, but he's such an edgelord it's hard to tell if he believes in anything at all besides making money. I'm definitely not defending him don't get me wrong, I've just known guys like him who like being contrary just to 'trigger the snowflakes' (my dad sadly is one of them). The fact that he just went on making videos like nothing happened after the Christchurch massacre shows he very much didn't give a shit about it

Seeing who he follows on twitter is very revealing though

[mmartymcfly]

[moonseternity]
