Specifically starship troopers, but you know what kickstarted that discussion again. Also a bunch of Twitter discourse. Reddit is generally left adjacent. You won't find too much fash shit there.

Sorry man, but that's a relatively milk toast YouTube video with 81k views. Definitely very right leaning, but outright fascist is a bit much. She clearly has no media literacy or is deliberately misleading people.

Her latest video got only 11k views, and most of her titles look like some right wing grifter shit like "Ben Shapiro SILENCES Candace Owens, CANCELS Debate?".

And I'm sure that right wing grifters will use this for content, that's what they do.

I wouldn't say that shows anything more than a loud minority. Honestly 81k views is lower than I expected and more proves my point
