The atheist and skeptic youtube community was a primary vehicle for alt right propaganda. Still would be, if the cash hadn't dried up. We can generously assume that, for the most part, they were just dancing for money and chasing what people clicked. Espousing contentious points of view was a successful monetization strategy for youtubers. They could always hedge by saying that they were only considering other peoples opinions, or what other people were saying, etc. Happened to play into a successful dissemination strategy by white supremacists, bonus.
Where it starts to get amusing, is wondering where or whether there is a line between repeating white supremacist propaganda, and believing it. You might not have to do more than say it alot to convince yourself that it's true. Obviously, our friend didn't get their idea about white knees bending from seeing any white knees bending - but I suspect they've said it alot.
The idea that they're resisting - for example. Sure, fine, let's imagine - on the words of cops who shoot them, that they were resisting. If we say it enough we can convince ourselves of it. But so what? Resisting arrest isn't a capital offense, and we generally prefer that juries hand down death sentences, not patrol officers. The snarkier way to conside this, ofc, is to insist that all of those poor white lives were resisting, anyway. Goose and gander.
