It is! One of my best friends who became very vocal against drag queens reading to children and trans kids’ rights has fallen into a deep rabbit hole of alt-right radical conspiracy bs on YouTube. He also started sharing toxic masculinity guru videos in our group chats and videos from Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson for example.
I tried to give him counter arguments with examples and other videos, but when searching for content on YouTube, I had difficulty finding anything because, most of the content when searching for certain keywords, was just videos of alt-right talking heads.
Social media companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter are pushing an alt-right conservative agenda and their conspiracies. It’s pretty appalling.
Zoe Bee had a pretty good video on the Parents Rights stuff, too: https://youtu.be/mNOmFBw1I_M
And Shaun took on Andrew Tate recently: https://youtu.be/y6_TOFy3k6k
Shaun also has a notorious video discussing The Bell Curve, which is very, very good. The Bell Curve is a cornerstone of alt-right bullshit, since it’s one of the foundational books for “scientific race realism”: https://youtu.be/UBc7qBS1Ujo
Here’s Unlearning Economics taking on Jordan Peterson and his views on gender discrimination: https://youtu.be/LKc_8fT6pGc
Shaun again, this time discussing PragerU: https://youtu.be/EM7BgrddY18
This one’s less direct, but still actually relevant to toxic masculinity and conspiracy mindsets – Thought Slime discussing Gary Vee: https://youtu.be/OVE8J8dwJ5E
Here’s We’re in Hell discussing toxic masculinity in North America: https://youtu.be/MsEmOQeBcRA
And getting a little more high level about things, here’s Innuendo Studios (the Alt-Right Playbook guy) discussing the origin of conservatism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4CI2vk3ugk&%3Bt=333s which is itself an appendix to his Alt-Right Playbook episode, Always a Bigger Fish
These should give you at least a starting point, and help you build up a video history that will direct YT’s recommendation engine away from the shit you’re trying to counter.
