If you think having some guys write, let's say it again
"DEATH TO ALL JEWS"
on a banner for 5 bux is some sort of capitalism critique and not a spectacle to get views, I don't know what to tell you.
I guess I can leave you with this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjNILjFters
PewDiePie has commented quite a few times on this, but I’ll loop you in.
1. He was, in a satirical bit, showing what people were offering as services on Fiverr. As a result of this, he was surprised about what people were willing to do, and wanted to push it to the limit. He expected his request to get rejected, but it actually got approved and the guys did the sign—proving the point that people are basically willing to do anything for $5.
2. Have you even seen the video? You’ll honestly have to be the most clueless person on earth to not see that he is quite clearly not thinking this is okay, not is he condoning what they did, but it is still a very relevant thing to showcase what people are willing to do.

Sure...if he was even remotely a nazi...Are you aware that what you are doing is actually doing a service to actual bro-nazis and a disservice to people trying to deal with actual problematic people? Desensitising people like this, means they won’t take the serious cases, well, seriously. Ever heard of the boy that cried wolf?
