Thanks for this. Yes, I saw those 4 months ago and read M7's Reddit posts - and one reason I remained at Saidit was to see how he manages the site. I found it odd, and still wonder about, the way in which M7 seems to be very well aware of propaganda and extremist approaches, but runs a site that gives all of that a voice. So I am here to learn about that voice and to see what happens when freespeech websites are overrun with the loudest voices, and in this case, the Alt-right (according to what I've seen).

You don't think M7's views on things like the Rothschilds is a bit extreme?

Yes - though he, I and /u/Jesus have, it seems, read quite a bit about the Rothschilds and associated families, and though it may seem extreme to see them as part of an international conspiracy, there is a lot of evidence about this, which leads to a number of other families, some of whom have been attacked and expelled from certain countries (not just Germany) for their actions. The Sassoons, for example.... There are some right-leaning tendencies among almost all of us on Saidit (even me, believe it or not). One of the problems with the discussion of propaganda in the M7 Youtube video is that all propaganda cannot be seen at an equal level for the right and the left. It's not that simple. For example, propaganda posters for vaccines that date back 120 years have been helpful, to help eradicate polio, for example, and other problems. Neo-Nazi propaganda today isn't about a national worker's party, but especially about white supremacy, and thus not helpful, by many standards.

Yeah, I've seen you say some things center/right of center that surprised me. I haven't watched the full M7 propaganda video, so I can't speak of the left/right versions. People and groups sometimes cherry-pick what they want in a previous movement or campaign to align with their current opinions. Sometimes people put themselves in a box.
