As someone who paid literally 0 attention to it because I steered clear of NFTs and Celebrities, I think it's based that they did this (if it really isn't just a bunch of coincidences and/or 4chan users hijacking bored apes after noticing the coincidences).

There is a huge 1 hour long video documenting all the links of bored apes to nazism/white nationalism, etc.

A lot of it seems like reaching, but a lot of it is also too much to be a coincidence. And when you have so many things reaching towards the same end, it's hard to say it's all just bullshit.

For example
>logo is based on the totenkapf
>the bored ape prisoner jumpsuit has 1987 on it (the year that a nazi dude in the nuremburg trials died in prison)
>1488 references all over
>a lot of apes being sold for 88 eth or 14.88 eth or any combination of the two
>all of the bored ape creators pseudonyms being linked to it (Gordon Goner being an anagram for Drongo Negro, Sass = SA SS the two halves of the Nazi military, Yuga = Kali Yuga, and the other guy being the jew villain from the Smurfs)
>ace of spades card on the vietnamese helmet which was used as the "card of death" in vietnam by americans was changed on the NFT to a red joker with a red J, and the nazis made jews wear red Js to identify themselves
And so many more links that I can't remember off the top of my head. Point being, there is a lot of it and while a lot of it seems like reaching a lot of it is also damning as hell if you look passed the surface. So when added all together you got yourself a pretty good case that this was all just an elaborate ruse. Pretty based tbqh.

A lot of the stuff that guy claims is bad faith too. Like the 1488 ape with the 1987 number on his prison jumpsuit. It wasn't just "THE YEAR A NAZI DIED BRO" it was "The year a glorified Nazi hero, a leader of the Nazi party, appointed deputy Fuhrer under Adolf Hitler, creator Hitler's Nuremburg laws, died in Prison after being sentenced to life in Prison at the Nuremburg trials."

It's pretty bad faith to make it seem like it was just some random no-name nazi dude. He also fails to mention all the other links, like every single one of the leaders pseudonyms being linked to dog whistles or having racist undertones.

The difference here is that this isn't about "neo nazis" as a whole is part of a big conspiracy with deep roots everwhere. It's just four troll acting alone, at most merely dog whistling to others. That's not unbelievable at all. Similarly, no one doubts that there are individual jews or corrupt people in positions of power and influence in society. But that in no way means that jews as a whole are part of one big conspiracy. That's difference that makes one theory credible and the other not.

What I'm hoping is that this opens the sheeps eyes to it all. If they get exposed as being dumb sheep that let 4chan /pol/ trolls (or legitimate supremacists) take a bunch of their money in a crypto scheme, maybe they will be more open to realizing all of the other shit that gets done to them every day by the kikes.

It is hard though, considering the Jews have spent the last near century painting themselves as the most pathetic helpless victims of all time with a bunch of lies and backed it up with all the money they could to dismantle the truth.

>> No.49984725

>>49984613
The problem with the jewish thing is that yeah, a lot of jews are just nobodies like the rest of us, but a lot of powerful people in the world are jewish. A lot of money is controlled by jewish people. It was the jewish controlled banks which crashed Germany's economy with Hyperinflation and then forced all other countries to halt trading with Germany after Hitler started Germany's own decentralized currency system which brought them back from the brink of destruction. It's no wonder that Hitler despised them, they ran his country into the dirt and then shoved it back down when they stopped relying on currency that the Jews had control over.

No fucking shit it's a reference to nazi symbology

The question is, is it because
>the devs are actual literal nazis who believe the Aryan race is superior, want to genocide the jews and all non-whites, and were using nfts as a platform to spread their totally serious and unironic far right political extremism
Or simply
>they are trolls who go on 4chan who think nazi aesthetic is cool and tricking normies into spreading nazi memes is funny

And you'd have to be a schizophrenic autist or a completely brain dead leftist retard who has never visited 4chan to take the first option seriously, when reality the actual truth is more that

And I'm not arguing about that at all. There are people in this thread who unironically believe that it was all just coincidences based on bad faith journalism. And while I admit that the two people involved had incentive to make money and youtube clickbait is one hell of a drug, there is an insane amount of "coincidences" to just be a coincidence. That twitter faggot someone posted above claimed it's easy to make anything seem alt-right, but I bet he couldn't do anything like that himself to someone who is not affiliated at all with alt-right shit. It's clear as day that BAYC uses this imagery on purpose and I'm of the belief that it's just 4 based dudes dunking on shit eating normies and hollywood. Whether it was for fun, for money, for an agenda (waking people up to the fact that this stuff happens), or all of the above, it's neat.

Though I wonder where the line blurs between meme and actual feeling. Considering tons of /pol/ stormfags start off just memeing about Hitler, but then they slowly indoctrinate themselves into more than just jokes.

First time poster here I have a genuine question did you all get a manifesto or did you get a link to a certain page. The hive mind here has to be a product some sort of 4scam bible. Like openly defending PROVEN racist imagery coincided with multiple poorly worded accusations of doxxing. The main four were written about in an article detailing the money and things they had made and they acted like they were raided by the FBI. First red flag second was doubling down on all the imagery as a coincidence and the evidence they use is a stock image of yacht club clip art and a collage of other brands insignias.
