A WSJ investigation into PDP's YouTube channel in 2017 found a total of nine videos posted since August 2016 that featured Nazi imagery or anti-Semitic humor. In one video posted Jan 11, 2017 Felix hired a pair of people on fiverr to hold up a sign that said "Death to all Jews."
In the January 11, 2017 video, Felix claimed to be testing a theory that he could pay a pair of Indians to do extreme things. Felx asked the freelancers to unfurl a banner reading "Death to all Jews."
In a later, deleted video, PDP showed a clip of an Israeli-based Fiverr freelancer who made a video dressed as Jesus saying "Hitler did nothing wrong." After Fiverr suspended Jesus' account, PDP joked in a deleted video "its ironic Jews found another way to fuck over Jesus."
In a Jan 14, 2017 video about the "kazoo kid" meme, PDP included audio of the Nazi anthem while bowing over a swastika as part of a "secret summoning ritual." In a Feb 5, 2017 video Felix did a nazi salute with a Hitler voiceover saying "Sieg Heil" and the text "Nazi confirmed."
In a February 10, 2017 video PDP gave a nazi salute and showed a series of clips of nazi imagery, including a crowd of Nazis saluting, Nazi soldiers marching, and footage of Hitler youth.
In a February 12, 2017 tumblr post, PDP apologized and said "though this was not my intention, I understand that these jokes were ultimately offensive."
In a video from late August 2016, PDP compared Harambe the gorilla to Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones, echoing the racist harassment that she endured that summer from the alt-right.
In a video from November 2016, PDP overlayed a swastika and audio of a Hitler speech over unrelated commentary. He then goes on to refer to BuzzFeed as "a bunch of cucks" - "cuck" being an alt-right buzzword used unironically.
As far as I can tell, the first video Felix made with nazi imagery in it was this video from August 2016 where he began the video with an anime nazi intro while wearing a MAGA hat of former president Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
If you have english closed captions on during the video, several messages appear at the bottom including a message that said "Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong" and another message that said "the Holocaust never happened, it's a lie."
There is also nazi imagery in the video if you pause the video at exactly the right frame, including a nazi battle flag and an iron cross with a swastika in the middle.
If you pause at the exact right frame in the video, There are also messages which appear to say "Heil Hitler" and "Jews must die."
In November 2016 someone on Twitter asked Felix "since when did you become a fucking nazi" because Felix made the nazi salute in one of his videos. Felix responded by saying "aryan, superior genetics since birth."
Ok, you might say, that looks bad, but PDP apologized in February 2017 so why am I bringing this up? Well I bring this up because it provides context for the other stuff I'm about to show you.
After "apologizing" in February 2017 for using nazi imagery and nazi jokes, PDP included a kekistan flag in a July 2017 video. The kekistan flag is a green recoloring of a nazi flag used by the alt-right as a dogwhistle to "troll" liberals and leftists who recognize its origin.
Although people who use kekistan flags claim its all a joke that the liberals took too seriously, kekistan flags can often be seen being flown by real nazis. Its essentially a nazi dogwhistle where you have to consider it in context.
Later on in the video, PDP drew a pepe. Pepe is a once completely innocuous meme which was adopted by the alt right and neo-nazis as their mascot to dogwhistle with. Pepe memes and kekistan memes are closely linked
The next month in August 2017, the kekistan flag was flown next to nazi flags at the "Unite the Right" rally where a neo-nazi ran into a crowd of people and killed Heather Heyer.
In August 2017, Felix said "if for some reason Nazis think it's great I'm making these jokes, I don't want to give them that benefit so I'm going to stop doing it."
In the December 2018 video, PDP shouted out the channel E;R for its video essays on the Netflix adaptation of the anime Death Note, also linking to the E;R channel in the video description. In the video E;R promoted the conspiracy theory that Heather Heyer died of a heart attack.
E;R had a video decrying "race mixing" and a video with Hitler speeches synced to a slideshow of corporate media figures believed to be Jewish which ended with the white supremacist "14 words" slogan.
The 14 words is a reference to the white supremacist slogan "we must secure an existence for our people and a future for white children." It is frequently used as a nazi dogwhistle along with the number "88" which stands for "Heil Hitler."
Someone on Gab asked E;R what the best way to "red pill people on the (((Jewish Question)))" is. E;R responded by saying "pretend to joke about it until the punchline relly lands."

I wonder who else uses that strategy đŸ€”
While PDP may be unaware of E;R's old openly racist videos, other red flags were obvious, such as the description on the Death Note video recommended by PDP which whines that fear of a YouTube ban for "speech crime" prevented E;R from calling a death note character a "n***et."
After causing controversy for recommending a nazi youtube channel in December 2018, PDP then again apologized and said "I removed E;R from that video." PDP added "If I knew then what I knew now I wouldn't have put him in there... I'll be more careful in the future."
E;R also had a video at some point which said this shit.

E;R wants to kill Jewish people.
In January 2019, a month after recommending the open nazi E;R and then apologizing, PDP uploaded a video to his channel where he recited the white supremacist "14 words" slogan and made several racist jokes.
At 8 minutes and 57 seconds into the video, PDP recited the 14 words. One of the comments underneath the video where he recited the 14 words says "gamers rise up against the Jewish elite banking cartel and secure a future for your blood and soil."
The gun the shooter used had the 14 words on it, the same 14 words PDP recited to his audience of tens of millions just 2 months before the shooting.
The shooter's manifesto was titled "The Great Replacenent" as a reference to the popular racist conspiracy theory popularized by white supremacist Lauren Southern in her video titled the same thing.
PDP has shouted out Lauren Southern on Twitter before

In fact PDP shouted out Lauren just a few days after she uploaded her video about the "Great Replacement" which inspired the Christchurch shooter. Lauren and PDP have blood on their hands.
PDP has also shouted out other open white supremacists on his Twitter page such as Stefan Molyneux, an open "race-realist" obsessed with IQ differences between races, an open Native American Genocide denier, and an white nationalist etc
A nazi even noticed PDP shouting out this open white supremacist and celebrated by saying "HAIL FELIX HAIL OUR PEOPLE HAIL VICTORY."
On March 31 2019 (2 weeks after the Christchurch shooting), PDP uploaded a video congratulating T-Series for becoming the most subscribed YouTube channel on the platform.
A lyric in the song goes "bout to cause a genocide so you can call me Hi-" (Hitler)

This was just 2 weeks after the Christchurch shooting. PDP is scum.
In 2016 or 2017, PDP namedropped "moon man" on steam. Moon man is a former McDonald's mascot which got adopted by racists and neo-nazis to make racist rap songs about killing minorities. It is popular on places like /pol/ https://twitter.com/talentlessrigby/status/1384367201176547333?s=19
Moon man songs frequently include KKK and nazi references and lyrics about killing minorities. The meme was seen at the "He Will Not Divide Us" /pol/ raid a few years ago.
Here is moon man being referenced by the very open nazi comic artist RedPanels who now goes by StoneToss. Moon man is a dogwhistle.
In April 2019 a neo-nazi in Poway, California went into a synagogue and killed one woman and injured 3 others. The shooter was inspired at least in part by the Christchurch shooter a month before.
The shooter also cited PDP as inspiration as well as moon man, the same nazi meme about killing minorities that PDP shouted out before.

Like I said, PDP has actual blood on his hands.
In April 2019 PDP also apologized for his racist lyrics in the "Congratulations" song he wrote for T-Series and said "they were not meant to be taken seriously." He also said "to make it perfectly clear I am not a racist."
After receiving backlash from anti-semites in his audience in September 2019 for his decision to donate to the ADL, PDP retracted his 50,000$ donation to the ADL and capitulated to the anti-semites in his audience who said he was being "blackmailed." https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-49686018
A bunch of commenters on YouTube, Twitter, reddit, 4chan etc came up with unhinged conspiracy theories that the ADL was blackmailing PDP into donating to them or that it was part of a Jewish conspiracy to take him down because he was speaking out against them.
Felix said that he saw the donation as "an opourtunity to put to rest the alt-right claims that have been thrown against me" and said that after the Christchurch shooting, he "felt a responsibility to do something" but said the ADL donation was "not the right way to go about it."
Felix says choosing ADL as the donation's reicipient was something he was "advised" to do, "instead of picking a charity that I have a personal attachment about, which is 100% my fault." This seems at odds with his statement that the donation was a chance for him to "move on."
His fanbase which initially reacted with hostility when PDP announced the donation praised him for reversing course. The comments where he retracted the donation are also filled with anti-semitism like "the ADL is an anti-white hate group" and the triple parentheses ((()))
A number of people saw PDP's decision to wear a sweatshirt with a symbol suspiciously similar to the iron cross on it as a possible dogwhistle. I personally think it was a coincidence (but PDP 100% still is a nazi).
Neo-nazi comic Artist StoneToss praised PDP for wearing a symbol which looked close to an iron cross while retracting the donation and called him a "fucking king." It was likely just a coincidence though IMO.
The really damning thing about the ADL donation retraction is that he was capitulating to the demands of these fucking people.
In January 2020 a neo-nazi reuploaded the clip of PDP reciting the 14 words to his YouTube channel.
The profile picture of the account who reuploaded the clip of PDP reciting the 14 words is a Valknut rune, an old norse symbol adopted by white supremacists and neo-nazis.
That same account who reuploaded the 14 words clip also has another video with "clown world" in the title. Clown world and the emojified version đŸ€ĄđŸŒŽ is a neo-nazi dogwhistle which is used by the alt-right to dogwhistle their beliefs so if somebody calls it out they look insane.
PDP used that exact same nazi dogwhistle in a July 2020 video at 9 minutes and 30 seconds in. He said "clown world-we live in clown world." He is one of them.
Nazis in the comments section appear to have noticed the clown world dogwhistle because one of them commented "13=50" as a racist dogwhistle for the stat that 13% of the population commit 50% of the crimes. Another nazi put "always knew felix was based and redpilled."
Here is a nazi giving the game away about the clown world meme. His Twitter bio says "Alt-Right is the only movement serious about MAGA" and his Twitter banner is a 14 words meme.
Here it is being used by the very open nazi comic artist stonetoss. Clown world is a nazi dogwhistle.
"Ok," you might say, "sure clown world is so associated with white nationalism its being written about by Right Wing Watch, but let's ask one of them about what it means to see if there is any more nuance to this meme."

We will do exactly that
A person online named "Dissident Mama" wrote an article defending the clown world meme from accusations of white supremacy or nazism titled "KKKlown world" where she mocks the people like Right Wing Watch who label it a white nationalist and explains what it "actually" means.
The article begins with a declaration that "We are officially living in clown world" and gives a few exhibits for why we supposedly live in clown world.
Exhibit A for why we supposedly live in "clown world" is that "according to RWW" and other "proponents of progresssive hegemony," calling our nihilistic society clown world is now deemed "racist" just like Milk or the ok sign according to the "anti-white" ADL and SPLC. đŸ€”
Exhibit B for why we supposedly live in clown world is the very existence of Right Wing Watch which the author calls "the retarded clownish stepchild of People for the American Way"-a leftist advocacy group founded by "secular Hollywood Jew" Norman Lear.
Exhibit C for why we live in clown world is the House Judiciary Committee's hearing on the rise of white nationalism. The author wrote "all the virtue signallers and aggrieved minorities lecture us that its a battle against 'white supremacy. Repeat after me: white man bad."
The author then wrote that the real problem "surging unabated these days" isnt white nationalism, but "the cancer of cultural Marxism, with its malignant tumors of diversity, egalitarianism, gloablism and post-modernism spreading throughout our already dying culture."
The author then explains that the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally wasnt white supremacist eith-oh, oh no.
The author then complains about the unfair treatment of *checks notes* James Fields, the nazi murderer who killed Heather Heyer at the aforementioned Unite the Right rally.

Yeah.
Dissident mama wrote that the "lesson" the system was trying to teach the far right after prosecuting this nazi murderer at the Unite the Right rally was "you'd better believe diversity is our strength, or else."
Further down, the author writes "clown world is dependent uponnthe belief" that "hate crime assaults are on the rise" and that "there's a tsunami of Jew-hatred enveloping the world."
The author then explains that the rise of anti-semitism is nothing to worry about because these hate crimes are supposedly being perpetrated by the Jewish people themselves.

đŸ’©
*phew* that answers that. "Clown world" isnt a nazi meme, its just when you recognize the cultural marxist myth of "diversity is our strength," think James Fields was innocent and believe hate crimes are all "Jewish hoaxes"

đŸ€ź
Why is PDP using this literal nazi dogwhistle? Because he is literally a nazi.
The way to read PDP's Twitter following list is to bracket the names on the list together by their ideologies so lets do that.
Regular conservatives: Shapiro, Crowder, Peterson, Rubin etc
Open white supremacists: JonTron, Lauren Southern, Molyneux, Pettibone etc
"Irony" 😉 nazis: Count Dankula etc
Very open nazis and JQers: Notch, Sam Hyde, E;R etc
The 2 names on this list which are the most damning were the ones which got ignored the most: Notch and Sam Hyde.

Notch and Sam Hyde are not "edgy" or whatever, they are very open about their love of nazism and their hatred of Jews, as I will show.
Here is Notch explicitly saying he doesnt care that Synagogues and Mosques are being shot up.

Of course Notch created Minecraft but something tells me PDP didnt have Notch on his follow list next to JonTron and PJW and Molyneux because he likes minecraft.
Here he is admitting to being a fascist.
Notch was asked how he feels about Jews and he replied "if we were allowed to discuss IQ differences between populations, there'd be fewer conspiracies"

A nazi replied to notch saying "careful or (((they))) will silence you" to which notch said "then im already silenced."
Someone asked Notch what he meant with his "IQ differences" comment which Notch replied to by saying "High-IQ individuals are over-represented in positions of power" and that not being allowed to discuss this makes people "distrust" them.
After the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville Notch posted "Antifa is causing more harm then neo nazis led by obvious plants and/ or professional instigators."
Here is Notch saying there is an "agenda" against white men

I wonder (((who))) he believes is behind this "agenda" đŸ€”
The other very open nazi that PDP follows is Sam Hyde, a comedian who co-created the white supremacist sketch comedy group "Million Dollar Extreme." MDE had a show on adult Swim that was cancelled because Sam is a racist shithead.
Sam Hyde once pledged 5,000$ towards the legal defense of neo-nazi Andrew Anglin, the founder of the openly nazi website "The Daily Stormer."
Here is Sam Hyde doing the Hitler salute with Andrew Auernheimer of the Daily Stormer.
