But which songs/bands? Are you saying its like a whole studio/record company pushing this?
But which creators/influencers do we need to be on watch for?
Do you mean the whole service is far-right? Can I get the names of services to avoid?
This article feels like it lacks substance. It seems to be saying "There's bad guys out there. I'm not going to tell you who or where, but they're there. Just trust me bro". (In all fairness, they do point to tradwife influencers, but I assumed that was known).
That's not to say that they haven't actually found sources of right wing influence in each of these areas, but I was really hoping they'd bring the receipts on it.
I don't suppose anyone here can point to examples of what they're talking about with any of these? (Again, I'm aware of the tradwife stuff, so I'm good skipping that point).
They probably don't want to drive traffic to them. I'm sure you can find names if you look up the cited researchers' works.
Yeah, this article is just fear mongering. Feels like a way to play both left and right sides against each other. Generalized anxiety on the left will create an echo chamber.
When critical details are missing the information can be dismissed.
What I find interesting is that there’s a lot of conflation these days between the far right and conservatism — especially religious conservatism.
This misses the point that every progressive society needs some number of conservatives (even dogmatic ones) to be asking “but is this a good idea? Does progress here actually benefit people?”
These people are NOT fascist and NOT far right. They’re more likely to share a drink with someone who is, knowingly or unknowingly, than someone with progressive views though, and can be more easily influenced.
These are the sort of people who need to be aware of this kind of article. Unfortunately, most articles of this type don’t tend to differentiate between right and far right, and so are often ignored by the very people who need to hear the message.
