A thing I notice with people who self identify as far right (or truthers, or whatever,) is that Everytime they take another step down the far right rabbit hole their perspective on whose ‘far right’ changes.

At one point someone can be “it’s just about free speech, and people like Alex Jones are nut-jobs.” Then they find an online personality that convinces them that white people are disappearing over time and that person then adjusts their view on ‘far right’ and it becomes “man these people are right and I was such a fool to think it was just about freedom of speech, and the conservatives I followed about that stuff need to wake up to the Real Truth. But those people talking about ‘The Jewish Question’? Yeah they’re nuts and making us look bad. And then when they get bored of white genocide truthers, they find someone to feed them the Jewish question ‘red pill’, and their perspective shifts again.

These people (generally young white men,) go to these people to get angry and feel validated for various reasons. Maybe they feel emasculated? Maybe they’re upset about traditions or people in their family growing up? Maybe they’re just straight up bigots, and have a need to watch someone online debate a straw man on race. Either way, eventually these people burn out, or can’t find another red pill to swallow. There is no end goal for someone in this situation, because nothing about they way these people are told these things gives them anything to do with their anger. Crowder isn’t gonna tell you what to do with the BS he tells you, because then that makes him liable. Eventually you get out of the hole, and you can start growing up. Trust me, it’s better up here.

Stuff like this is exactly why I left the left wing.

A thing I notice with people who self identify as far right...

If they identify with the far right or a similar group, they would embrace that label, not view it as a negative thing.
This sounds like a slippery slope argument to me, yet for the 4-5 years that I haven't been a leftist I'm still on the first "step" you mentioned.
You failed to explain why you called Ben Shapiro far right. Crowder isn't far right either, he's just annoying.
If governments actually did what people wanted instead of the complete opposite, maybe people wouldn't need to become extremists. For example, Trudeau plans to increase immigration from 350k to 450k over the next few years (which he already increased from 250k), even though most Canadians want lower levels of immigration.

Eventually you get out of the hole, and you can start growing up. Trust me, it’s better up here.

Yup, eventually you just become a libertarian and realize politicians are morons, so the best thing is to limit government to its basic functions and leave people alone. Unfortunately, most people are authoritarians.

While you have the right to your opinion, you said you were born in 1999. So you're either 21 or 20. 4-5 years ago you were 16-17. I know its bad to assume (especially since I don't know much about Canadian life), but I would guess you haven't had as much life experience. So it's kinda hard for me to take "yet for the I haven't been a leftist" and "realize politicians are morons, so the best thing is to limit government to its basic functions" seriously. But I'll take your word for it. But when I was 19 I thought I knew how the world works. Hell, I still don't.

Anyways, in America, there are millions of people struggling because the government doesn't do anything or doesn't care. Something that "libertarians" would like for an entire country.

"But hey, not my problem! It's all their fault they're struggling. Any struggle I had I've just worked extra hard to get out of! Also, I'm not racist, but it does seem X group of people are always poor! Sounds like they're lazy! Don't get mad at me! Facts over feelings! Haha, freedom of speech!" - Ben Shapiro

So yeah, even if Ben Shapiro calls himself a libertarian, he feeds alt-right viewers.

That's a boomer conservative talking point I've always disagreed with, especially since I grew up poor.

Government never cares because it uses other people's money to pay for things for other people to use. Ontario's "Conservative" government spent $650k designing this logo: https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/lcbo-to-pay-agency-650000-for-branding-marketing-of-cannabis-store-logo/

Ben Shapiro doesn't call himself a libertarian, at most a conservatarian. The alt right doesn't like Shapiro anyway, primarily because he's a Jew and he criticizes Trump.

It’s ok to not have all the answers at 21.

Not sure where I implied I have all the answers... I certainly don't.

I was radicalized by Ben Shapiro

I agree that Crowder is just spouting BS to pander to his fanbase and make money, same with Shapiro. Believe it or not, there are genuine anti-left wing writers and podcasters that aren't grifters and dedicate at least half of their activity to making fun of people like Shapiro, Crowder, etc. I highly recommend "Revenge of the Cis"

Minecraft’s better tho

You misspelled "Warzone".

The far right radicalization is not exclusive to young white men, it's more of a middle class thing. Hell, I went down the yt far right rabbit hole and I'm a taco. First world niggas just want to feel like they're apart of a struggle.
