Please beware there are many fake bitcoin mining/clouding out there, I got scammed twice and I can tell its not a great experience, it was after my experience I made use of the service of an investigator who helped retrieve my crypto. Ever since I made this horrible mistake, I took it upon myself to ensure that every victim of crypto fraud gets back their stolen funds, it’s the least I can do. Please reach out to recbtc17@gmail.com to get help. I strongly recommend his service, you can also text or reach out to him on what’s app. +15187224413

I've personally experienced the YouTube rabit hole. I started out as a vocal atheist (which I still am) that lead me to thunder foot who lead me to anti feminist videos which lead me to Sargon of ackad that lead me to sjw which than fed into teal dear and honey badger radio which had me fill blown mra and it wasn't till a friend asked me what I was doing (not like aggressive just genuine inquiry about my day) that I looked at what I was doing and the answer was brainwashing myself

Pro Gamergate people were NOT "hateful", tell your guest to shut the hell up with her lies. They were calling out blatant lies of reviewers sleeping with people and cheating on their SO to bribe reviewers for good reviews, and flat out lying and then trying to play the victim. Pro Gamer-gate people are against PC fucking nonsense. People are sick of being called racist sexist homophonic Nazis just for having a different opinion.
