I'm not a fan of either, but I don't think pewdiepie is even fascist adjacent. He made jokes in poor taste when he was younger and the internet rewarded edgy behaviour, I think it's time to let it go.
I feel mixed feelings. I don't think someone can silently be against war crimes and genocide. He seems less edgy. I like his new stuff. Still, he preaches about reading philosophy. He promotes reading books. You would think enlightenment would spark the desire to push change in the world. It's a deliberate silence from one of the most influential people of our time. I just think he's right wing at best.
kind of important what philosophy and books he's promoting, and the one i heard of was a japanese ultranationist
younger, but also in his 20s still using derogatives. if he wasn't called out, would probably still be doing it

Thanks for the blind fire of exactly what I was talking about.
He condemned the Christchurch shooter. He admitted fault to his edgy skits.
