Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs are a neo-nazi psyop by 4chan

Let’s be frank for a second: everyone like me who hasn’t got a pea for a brain hates NFTs. Especially the Bored Ape Yacht Club ones, which by themselves are already ugly and unaesthetic by themselves. I mean, just look at it, who in the right mind would want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in ETH for an ugly, disgusting monkey jpeg that looks like your worst nightmare took LSD?

But what if I told you that, probably, deep in the dark corners of racist 4chan, they want us to think like that? Like they’re “ugly monkeys”? Sort of as if they want us to equate them to people of African descent? Now, this seems like a bold claim to make, but thanks to the insider info from the owner of the website gordongoner.com (which domain is named like that so it pops up every time you look up one of the Bored Ape Yacht Club owners), I’ve compiled evidence that NFTs are made for and by neo-nazis.

Now, me talking about how nazis love NFTs is nothing new, I’ve planted my evidence in a YouTube video from my now defunct YouTube channel with solid claims, but this makes it more evident that the neo-nazi movement is looking to weaponize anything in the digital age to bolster their agenda and advance in the so-called “culture war”.

First of all, you got to familiarize yourself with the idea of “simianization”. Sounds like Chinese to you, but the whole idea of simianization is deeply rooted in racist charicatures and theories planted by white supremacists way back before the Second World War, including Nazi Germany. This racist idea is based on turning into an ape people who are not considered white, say, for instance, jewish, asian, or more especially, African people, just for the sake of dehumanizing these people. A practice so deeply rooted in the colonization eras of Colonialism. The very idea of anthropomorphizing apes might not be very evident of this, but given the intentions of the original owners of Bored Ape Yacht Club and the evidence, which will be presented later, we can imagine this concept of racist “simianization” is not far-fetched. I mean, the apes in Bored Ape Yacht Club pretty much look alike like those racist charicatures in the colonial era.

Second piece of evidence, we got this:

Now, the similarities between the Bored Ape Yacht Club logo and the Waffen SS Totenkopf emblem are pretty uncanny, to say the least. To say the most, it’s dangerously suspicious. Not only for the way the iconography is showcased and placed in the logo itself, but also, if you look at the number of teeth the ape skull and the Totenkopf skull have, there’s 18 teeth in total. Does the number 18 ring you a bell? Exactly. That’s the initials for “Adolf Hitler”, as evidenced by the ADL in their list of hate symbols. Coincidence? Think again.

Third piece of evidence:

Oh, boy, it gets scarier. The company responsible for Bored Ape Yacht Club is called Yuga Labs. Kali Yuga, as you might know, is a popular dog whistle of alt-right/traditionalist ideology based on Hindu culture, appropriated for white supremacist purposes. The main philosopher behind this, René Guénon, is responsible to bringing this Hindu concept into the Western world. Now white supremacists love to use this as the concept of the “dark times”, to imply the so-called “jewish influence” has led society and the Western world into dark end-of-times situations, which again, is a nazi dog whistle.

Now, we know that the co-founders of Bored Ape Yacht Club are anonymous, we can’t trace their real identities yet, but what we know is that one of them goes by the handle of Gargamel, a character from The Smurfs who is acknowledged as an anti-semitic depiction of a Jewish person, and also it is a common term in 4chan’s /pol/ board to discuss Jews. Now he’s trying to hide it, as if this isn’t any evident, but the damage is already been done.

Another co-founder of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs goes by the handle Gordon Goner, who says he picked the name because it sounded like “Joey Ramone”. Now this is a load of baloney because Gordon Goner doesn’t sound at all like Joey Ramone, but I can tell the peeps love to use anagrams, because it practically is an anagram for “Drongo Negro”, “Drongo” being an australian and 4chan slang for “stupid”, and you can guess exactly what “Drongo Negro” means. In fact, writers often use anagrams for character names and they also are often incorporated in videogames, some of which Yuga Labs have stated they play:

Not forgetting to mention, by the way, how white male nerd culture was so dominant in games like World of Warcraft…

Now, in the gordongoner.com website, there’s a lot more evidence than this and I’m not exhaustively pointing all of that one by one, so just check out the website and look at the rest of the evidence yourself. But what I’m going to point out to end this is that 4chan acknowledged these white supremacist memes and endorsed them in a 4chan thread:

Maybe these allegations of white supremacy are a tad bit heavy, and maybe this is just because, like the original author of that website with all the evidence, we just hate NFTs a tad bit too much, but I planted thanks to the aforementioned website all the evidence of these claims. Maybe it helps that it’s now more than justified to hate NFTs because we can’t just let go of their association with actual neo-nazi pricks. But hey, wasn’t capitalism after all a lot of times associated with fascism?

Makes your noggin’ joggin’…
