the streaming in an SS uniform and paying people on fiverr to hold up signs saying "death to all jews", probably
Source?

This I see the points. Im sure they were clickbait edgy “jokes” but ofcourse someone with such a huge following should not be making these kinds of references. Thanks for the info!
i posted in another thread that got removed that really the important takeaway from what happened is that as he and his audience radicalized eachother. the people who didn't want to see the edgy stuff left, and he made no effort to distance himself from it at the time, so more edgy people started following him. in the end you had what the in-group saw as edgy humour while the rest of the world saw nazi shit. and like the "layers of irony" thing that 4chan had going a few years ago, what the in-group thinks its projecting doesn't matter.
Do you have a source?
Im pretty sure you are referring to him wearing a british military uniform. Also he did not have anyone say death to all jews. Provide source and I will correct this though.
