Every day I wish the left were as cool as the right thinks we are.
Youtube's algorithm is really eager to guide people into the alt-right pipeline. You basically have to immediately block any channel that seems even a little bit sus to keep that shit out.
Additionally, there is a draw for conservatives to geekdom in general: antisociality and a belief in one's own intellectual superiority.
That actually explains a lot, thanks :D
