White Supremacist YouTube Channel Promotes Donald Trump

Yesterday, I made a post in this forum about a new YouTube channel named Evalion (pron. ee-VAL-yun). Ostensibly the creation of an angelic-voiced 18-year-old girl, the channel has posted youth-oriented, repugnant videos promoting racism and homophobia, praising Hitler, and denying the Holocaust. (If you missed that post, you can see it here.)

At this point, I'm convinced the channel is a production of the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, or some other White supremacist organizations. The channel appears to be well-funded, has a Twitter component, and is growing rapidly. It's also promoting Donald Trump. You can see Trump's image in the channel's graphic header. In the video below, Evalion, the host, sports a Donald Trump knock-off hat.

The Takeaways
1. White supremacist groups have become very media savvy and are using YouTube content written in the "lonelygirl15" style (remember her?) to reach out to teenagers.
2. The groups are reveling in the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency and are redoubling their efforts to recruit.
3. The growth of these white supremacist groups is occurring at an alarming pace. The Evalion channel is currently gaining about 700-800 subscribers every day.

Here's the video. If you watch it, you'll see how the creators have managed to lace in a lot of poisonous racist hate speech among the usual teenage vlog content. Trigger alert: The video contains racial slurs, denial of the Holocaust, and white supremacist ideology.

I made this post and the other one out of a sense of duty, frankly. The propaganda being pushed by these groups is highly toxic and effective. I'm just trying to make sure people who are sane and outside of their sphere of influence are aware of it.

Yes, I think there will be a lot of Americans looking to move up north if Trump wins the White House.

By the way, if you really want to see this Evalion piece of work in high gear, take a look at her Hitler video below. Just incredible. Creepy thing is, her channel has picked up almost 1,000 subscribers in the past 24 hours.
