Forums - Gaming Discussion - Former neo-Nazi says white supremacists use Fortnite to recruit kids

This makes absolutely no sense. Racist groups like the "KKK" are completely different from ACTUAL terrorist groups like "ISIS" and "Al Quaeda". How the hell do you recruit people to be a neo nazi? It's either you were raised ignorant or you weren't, you can't just be recruited and turned into a racist instantly.

It makes perfect sense. I've heard a lot of stories from ex-Neo Nazis who discuss how they got involved in those groups. In many if not most situations, they grew up in a normal household with normal parents. The way Neo-Nazis go after unsuspecting youth is they find venerable people and befriend them. Maybe it might be a kid who's getting bullied in school. It might be a kid who's parents are getting divorced. Maybe one of their parents lost their job and they're going through hard times. Whatever it is, they befriend these kids and they don't promote Nazi propaganda right away. They do it slowly, over time. They convince kids that their problems are somehow someone else's fault. It works even better if the school bully turns out to be black or if the father's boss just happens to be Jewish. Over time, they become what we see as Neo-Nazis. So there is a method to recruiting kids, not unlike terrorist organizations and the recruitment is often done a period of time.

Next you're going to tell me that anime is used for propaganda for the reemergence of Japan as a war nation. A part of me think modern society COULD be capable of this, but I imagine over half the time its a joke, and considering Neo-Nazis still get warranted shit, I doubt it will become mainstream.



They go to mental health forums too? Nowhere is safe!



What's GamerGate?

Also, not sure if I believe this, sounds kind of ridiculous. The targets would have to already have some feelings of superiority to be converted.

Not once have I been targeted for recruitment by extremists. I feel left out now

You need to make sure to get more headshots on people using particular skins... you know.... darker skins.

 

Also if you click your happiest dancing emote after those shots land, that'll get you recruited!

 

On topic though... ya know Fortnite players in general aren't known for being older in general, some are obviously but I think the game is more popular with younger audience, just makes me think what the outcome of this might be...

You'd think that the media would wisen up but no......... they just can't help themselves with the net.



Breaking news: Ideological group tries to recruit people to their way of thinking on popular public platform.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I don't think you've been left out. It's more that you aren't smart enough to realize how much you've been manipulated over the years.

White supremacy is a mechanism that has been built deep inside of you, Ka-pi. Is it really coincidence that you love polar bears and their white fur? Nope, that's the result of systemic brainwashing.

:O I never even thought of that!

I'm Muslims but Daesh never contacted me. Am I not a real Muslim 😞

The KKK and the Neonazis are the same shit like those islamic terror groups. Change the name Mohammed with hitler and you cant find any difference. Both are hating jews and gays. Both violent. You can count the lefties also because they have shift from and anti vietman war peacefull group to a violent group with facist tendences. All extremist groups are the same. Just the leader is changing. All Bullshit. Including all religions mostly islam. No one needs religions anyomore.



I'm pretty sure they use a lot of different popular places and services to recruit, so what is the point? Another of those reports that want to blame vg for violence?
