Is there a possibility that the popularity of guntubers on YouTube is a pys-ops in order to help train and prepare American Zoomers into World War 3? Is the stuff taught on these channels like Brass Facts and Trex Arms even viable to modern warfare with logistics, drones, trenches, etc?
No, because nothing they teach would be effective in a regular, organized, national infantry unit, also relying on random guntubers (even if they are theoretically government plants) to train people would be completely and utterly retarded.
If that's the case, then what channels would be useful in the case I get drafted?
Nutnfancy and Colon Noir
??? if you get drafted you'll be put through basic. wtf do you need to watch some rambling retard guntuber for
Checked and retarded. If you get drafted you aren't gonna have time to sit around watching YouTube. You'll probably get a few days to get your life as squared away as possible, then shipped to Basic. And not even regular OSUT but some kind of retard version where they send you to your AIT and teach you the most absolute basic soldier skills (throw a grenade, Battle Drill 1A/1B, qualify with an M4) and then a half-assed version of your job.
My great-uncle was drafted into the Korean conflict and because he was a college grad they made him an officer. They called them "Ten-Week Wonders" because that's all they got before being shipped to Korea and put in command of troops.
Kek imagine being enough of a cuck to actually show up if you get drafted
Brent0331
If these trips came into a fleet unit talkin bout how "terrin liked to flick the rifle" or how "someone on YT did it like this." You would quickly run into my quads of fist when I punched you dead in the fuckin mouth and they ain't gonna do nothing to me im just gonna drop papers and retire at the highest rank. Because I really don't give a fuck y'all know me by now act like men and I'll treat you like it act like fools and I'll punch you dead in the mouth I ain't playin.
Settle down gramps
Run 10 miles a week.
lol just read the literally free military handbooks on SUT, MET-TC, general outdoor skills, weapon maintenance, and whatever else.
Redbeard tactical does a good job of taking big army concepts and outfitting it for what we can just call the concerned citizen
Your fucking DS telling your fruity ass what to do you retard. That's called Basic, then you go to your equivalent specialty training, then maybe some additional cross training, then they ship you to where they need where, you guessed it, more fucking training. You don't need a YT star to prepare you for a draft you fucking disease.
Not OP but these kind of content creators have at least inspired loads of younger people to get involved with milita-type groups or activities
Being for the boog or simply forming resilient communities that are prepared for incidents like natural disasters and supply chain disruptions
Sure, but when OP says World War 3 I'm assuming he means getting sent to fight another organized national military in which case nothing they teach is really all that relevant.
>assuming
Just stop it, you don't seem to possess the mental capability of making any good assumptions
Hes right though, seething gayboy. There are a lot of generic terms people use to refer to a US civil war or natural disasters or other domestic issues (shtf, wrol, the happening, etc), and WW3 has never been one of them.
nice samefagging
These youtubers are posting small unit tactics, psyopsing kids into getting nods, comms and all kinds of useful shit for happening type activities, not WW3 scale shit
If it was WW3 it would be
The writing is on the wall regarding happening in our lifetime. Some people are getting aware and getting trained
Consoomer culture has taken over completely. Average Zimmers buying plate carriers, nods, uniforms, GBRS mounts all in Multicam, just so they can max their larp cred.
When the time comes and the government turns tyrannical, the WEF troops occupy their country or Black-islamic migrants can finally rape, murder and kill white people legally, the consoomers will realize that being ultra low profile is the way to go and just putting on your kit and leaving your house gets you killed in no time.
The urge to consoom is too strong though, so people will never stop buying shit they don’t need. Trex arms just released stuff in m81 woodland and made a video telling zoomers how m81 woodland is totally the hot shit right now.
None of that has to do with ww3 prep, it’s just means to sell shit. Also all the tubers sponsored by hornady telling you to shoot high round count drills that serve no purpose to keep your ammo consumption high is just peak marketing.
Zoomer and Consoomer can be used synonymously, there is no difference between the two words.
>WEF
comment discarded, take your meds
I'm glad you found a way to justify your useless toys by pearl clutching obvious hyperbole, How are you going to take on a checkpoint when every fucking western country has a shitload of good optics that a tyrannical force either governmental or (insert your political boogeymen here) could have?
Where are all the Guntubers that focus on guerrilla/spy/subversion shit?
NTA but S2 Underground is one of the few I know who's not a retard and flirts with those subjects. He actually has vids about combating thermals and drones among other things.
Fuck no. Most of the "tactical" guntubers have at least implied in their videos that they are training to fight a tyrannical government, or help communities. That isn't an effective way pf prepping a generation for a world war where they'd be conscripted/drafted.
Barrel and hatchet to a degree, risky chrisky, there are podcasts on Spotify that go deep into that subject. Longhouse podcast, minute man initiative, culprepper, everyday citizens tactical. There is a strong contingent of anti consumerism guntubers/creators. Way smaller then the Garand Thumb consumerism stuff, but a reasonable size. And S2 as the other anon said.
>risky chrisky
This guy changes his configurations more than he does his underwear. Just stick with something and git gud.
Shit take. Why wouldnt someone who has "too much" not have a chest righ they can wear a zip up hoodie or jacket over? Slick carriers that can be worn under shirts have been a thing for years.
GO
OFF
QUEEN
>these kind of content creators have at least inspired loads of younger people to get involved with milita-type groups or activities
No they haven't, they have done precisely the opposite.
All guntuber/prepper/minuteman content has done is ensure that so long as the tax cattle can be placated with a new youtube video every week, they will be content to live out their LARP fantasy through a computer screen and never take action in the real world.
Notice how everyone accuses everyone else of being a 'fed' in every video, comment section, thread or post? It's entirely deliberate and it has been incredibly effective at completely fragmenting any kind of organised militia movement by plunging everyone into a state of deranged conspiratorial mistrust. The constant shilling of Ruby Ridge and Waco has been the icing on the cake. No one dares break a single ATF regulation because they unironically believe that an MRAP is going to drive through the wall of their house at night and FBI HRT will machinegun their family over a PrepHole post.
If Americans actually cared about the 2nd Amendment, everyone would openly convert their AR-15s to full auto and anti-gun politicians would be assassinated for even proposing anti-gun legislation.
I guess you're not serious about the 2A then, or you're not American.
Everyone who is a 2A absolutist is automatically a terrorist in the eyes of the government.
In your post above you advocate for assassinating any politician who proposes gun control. This is a very clear cut form of terrorism. How do you square this away with your insinuation, I assume, that 2A absolutists (which you are describing) are terrorists,m
NTA but the same can be said for any political movement. How many pro-life people actually bomb abortion clinics?
Some people just want to shoot as a hobby and for self defense and think camping is cool. You are an idiot who takes himself too seriously.
not sure but ive noticed a couple of channels say that they want the people to have some kind of defense plan. in a way that would seem sooner rather than later.
I think they're a useless pressure release valve, an impotent vector for people who would "walk the walk" to let off steam and therefore not threaten the state. I don't think they're strictly controlled opposition, but I do think they're permitted to exist because they perform the same function.
If Lucas was trying to get people trained for WW3 he could do a whole lot better than doing first person shooter larps. How fast can he dig a foxhole? How good is he with a drone? Where's his "How to hide from every police department with a budget's FLIR cam in the event of tyranny" video?
No, its all too superficial and aesthetic based. They aren't teaching skills, they're selling a image and miraculously that look so often comes with affiliate links and checkout codes. If anything its gaslighting people into thinking they're well equipped so when something happens they're totally blindsided by how little they know about important shit like forming communities and general survival, rather than the gear and magdumping obsession that these channels all cater to.
The good channels focus on skills and communities. The scalper channels do the shit you describe
The company Lucas runs makes its money by overselling to people who will never need 4 ARs with Acogs and LAMs ready to go. His entire income relies on larpers spending disposable income on his shop.
I guess you could tally that cunt in the scalper category
The stuff he makes and sells is affordable and good quality he cant control other manufacturers prices dipshit also lucas has been the single most vocal guntoober espousing quality over quantity making graphics showing what a 1 rifle 1 gun kit can look like compared to and making fun of consumer idiots who bitch about nods being expensive but have 8 psa and hodgepodge anderson ar's.
Its funny you saying this on a video thats literally about training and building skills lol. You are an idiot. Also when lucas talks about community and church etc you all say blah blah cult etc so you will never be happy either way and so your opinion doesnt matter.
>"''''''skills''''''''''
>how 2 spam ur trigger moar gooder! brought to you by neverserved neverfought!

>Its funny you saying this on a video thats literally about training and building skills lol.

They're just making content for coomers that grew up playing COD who are just aging into having enough money to buy good gear. That type of person is hyper susceptible to gearfagging and consooming because they've been conditioned to min-max their entire life.
This is how you capture attention and sell your affiliate's products to that demographic. Simple as.
Basically these. Zoomers aren't forming militias. They're circlejerking on discord and posting their LARP gear and cawadooty sleight of hand reloads on IG for clout. Guntubers and even Leviathan shills are fine, but the most based youtubers of any hobby will always be boomers who are just making videos about stuff they bought with their own money after decades of experience, i.e. people like Jeff Quinn/Gunblast and Hickok45 before they became shills.
All Leviathan group guntubers are fucking cringe grinding the same formula with the same sponsors, but I still watch them during lunch.
Its trash but sometimes I watch a bit of them when bored at work because I need something else than the algorithm feeding me family annihilation interrogations.
>family annihilation interrogations
sorry for offtopic, but wat??
True crime has exploded on Youtube and everyone and their Grandma is trying to find the most fucked up cases to showcase for clicks. I watched a few more interesting ones and now I'm getting vids of kids killing their siblings and I felt like I had enough
ahhh thankyou. yeah, i get those.
Im more annoyed that every "commentary" channels focuses on just waiting for a content creator to fuck just so we can have a brain dead play by play video
I just get blacksmithing and warhammer mini painting vide0s in my reccommended (Oh and that guy called LetsGameitOut, hes a laugh)
Fuck you been watching to get that in your recommended?
Why is warhammer suddenly everywhere now? It has exploded in popular since the end of 9th
It’s like 2002 yugioh any guy our age has at least one army now
Probably people getting into hobbies during the lockdowns. No rent + Donny Dollars + a ton of time to kill, and social media friendly shit like painting models. And being in the bar industry myself, a huge issue is many people not going out like before, choosing to do lowkey house events or game nights and stuff.
Why would they? So cops can pick them off one by one as they come out? If the shit wasn't so life-altering I'd consider it.
First one to poke their head out loses.
the gearfag larper viewers of these videos would literally forget everything they know after a simple no contact 7 mile ruck with full gear. Not even a fault of theirs, just a reality that feeling real mental and physical exhaustion for the first time makes everyone forget all the theory they have in their head
>gay guntoober thread
hidden
problem solved.
They're all just equipment obsessed and don't teach actual tactics. When they do it's laughable crap that's not really meta. It's more likely just consoomerist advertising meant to sell you shit. In fact that's exactly what all of guntoob is.
They groom teenagers to grow up to be the mujahideen
They groom teenagers into broke young adults
dudebro grifters getting that advertising money from an apparently impressionable fanbase
It's hardly a conspiracy.
The US army is one of the biggest advertisers in American media, and the NRA are probably in the top ten as well.
>modern warfare
>trenches
fuck off lol
If artillery is useless and you have no air superiority, the only ground you'll be taking is what you can take with boots.
if you have no air superiority you aren't a modern military.
You can be evenly matched.
A war is literally being fought in trenches as we speak.
Wdhmbt?
psyops up to a point that they're all spooks themselves or have spook handlers.
Take your meds, those are larpers
wait I thought trex was a psyop honeypot to attract the most dangerous threat to the USA, white males, and involve them in a conspiracy to practice their radical interpretations of the bill of rights. or to encourage them to engage in the most radical act of terrorism known to the deep state, building a strong traditional family.
Trex just feels off, like most of his videos are bait to tag you on some system or list.
The same goes for GT and alike.
People of martial or leo background have always sold ideas, tactics, and equipment to fanboys or would-be soldiers for literal centuries. In fact Musashi criticizes this in the Go Rin No Sho.
What does musashi say about them? Truly curious and genuinely would like to know.
I think it’s the opposite, I think they’re allowed to have YouTube channels but the second they start leaking actual military doctrine and combat tactics on YouTube
Then the fbi or some other agency steps in and starts censoring or applying pressure
They can teach you bullshit that will get you killed like trying to clear buildings as a one man civilian with a 14” ar-15 in 556 that won’t penetrate any low quality body armor
But real shit that you can learn and dissect will get them in trouble
Like if Lucas did a “how to defeat a police line with riot shields while they’re smoking you out tear gas in a public square” video
He’d get a phone call and YouTube would delete the video
Brent0331 has plenty of videos on small unit tactics, Risky Chrisky has gone into the subject of how to fight a guerilla war. And on platforms other then YouTube there are people talking about small unit "kill teams", sabotage, hiding, avoiding road blocks, etc. If you look at places other then the big channels, they do actually teach "real shit".
shut up you fat fucktard
>Then the fbi or some other agency steps in and starts censoring or applying pressure
lmao no, some of that is already on YT, the problem is that people don't care about it
> “how to defeat a police line with riot shields while they’re smoking you out tear gas in a public square”
Give it some time and wranglerstar will make that video. Act accordingly.
He has taken quite the turn
at the bare minimum video games are used to a higher extent than guntubers to foster a "group mentality" loosely akin to operating as a unit and encourages functioning as a team rather than individuals. regardless of your opinion on this mine is that it is remarkable such things can be achieved by children playing video games
That's Lucas Botkin with T Rex arms. He's ok, although wildly unprofessional. I once attended a T Rex Arms course. I had brought along my wife, who (and I promise this is relevant) is a little obese. Mr Botkin was immediately obsessed. I could see it in his face, and he always lingered a little bit too close. Eventually at the end of the day he made his move. He approached my wife and I, and without an ounce of shame proclaimed that he was very interested in sucking on my wife's sweaty dirty toes and that once he's been sufficiently punished, that he would like me to dip my toes into one of my wife's many underfolds and lube them up with sweat. He wanted me to, and I quote, "Stretch my asshole with those wide feet daddy". I could not contain my disgust or curiosity. We participated.
The problem with many of these Guntubers is they train people to act like special forces when in a happening, you're not SF, you're an insurgent. While the skill sets do partially overlap, they are far from similar.
Insurgents don't roll up with a MK18 clone and start clearing houses, or fight in the open hills of Utah or Arizona, they use IEDs, torture, sabotage, or follow the school of Marksmanship and take a single shot at the highest ranking individual in a group, before disappearing. Theres a million different ways you can resist without firing a dingle shot, that offers ten times as much harm to the powers that be.
But the problem is, telling someone that they're not going to be Americana Wagner, but instead homegrown Al Qaeda, doesn't pull in views.
Even in terms of training like conventional forces, there's little to no overlap, because conventional forces are only 10% of what the military needs, the 90% is logistics. Guys who can cook, drive trucks, operate a water filter, repair a generator, et cetera.
>Insurgents don't roll up and start clearing houses
lmao
google "ISIS" zoomer.
That’s more raping and pillaging, don’t get me wrong Americans did that too but less of it
Literal schizos itt acting like these videos are some deep state MKultra plot.
They're businesses. They're in it for the money.
They're making videos showcasing their products so that people consooom said products.
Its why, on the rare occasion they do a "practical skills video" instead of something comparing a variety of gun accessories and equipment (The end results of which may or may not have to do with whether that company sells it or is being paid to say its good) they're all fast-paced, interesting stuff rifle drills and cqc shit, not, say, "How to construct a listening post", or "Physical fitness requirements for shtf" or "sandbag usage for amateurs". Same thing with the "shtf loadout" videos, especially the civil unrest ones, they're there for the purpose of enabling fantasies about being a lone gunman shooting their way to freedom through a wartorn city and similar tripe - pretty much the modern equivalent of the 2010s zombie gear phase - all of which will inspire the viewer to consooom more product.
(I feel that the ad revenue pulled from making a video which would appeal to those interested in this subject also cannot be discounted)
How many of these guys that own laser practice gun things with the app and drink black rifle coffee
Know how to fill a sand bag?
In that storm that hit cali …there were grown dudes in their 50’s with the grunt style shirts and lifted trucks asking the firefighters how to make and lay sand bags around their suburban houses
Pot belly ass dudes with tattoos everywhere couldn’t figure out how to efficiently lay a bag out and fill it with sand kept asking for help
No, most of these e-celebs are all about shooting le fedbois during the boogaloo and "recce" shit involving Hawaiian shirts, FOG gear, overpriced AR15s, and maybe a stock DJI drone. The average viewer thinks the US military has become woke and pozzed and that a non-binary drill instructor will force them to wear tactical drag during boot camp and then go door to door confiscating guns from REAL MAGA PQTRIQTS afterwards or some shit.
No, they're just appealing to the retards who think an insurgency is clearing houses with your buds like in that one Cowadoody mission and not committing war crimes and hiding in a ditch until government forces kill you.
fucking metal gear solid is a better teacher of tactics than these hype shill gays
all they're teaching is to buy in to the meta and aesthetics
now this is a schizo fantasy I can support.
Every male should know how to do basic gun things. The zoomer-appropriare pageantry to get the bird-hairs to swallow what is good for them....eh, I'm willing to tolerate it.
The garden gnomes are setting up to decouple from the US. They are sabatoging the companies they gained control of and a lot of the big named big noses are stepping down, retiring or dying from their positions.
If they were they wouldn't be doing so many videos on CQB. Especially not that gay as fuck high speed low drag "flow into the room" horseshit. It's almost never used in a real situation and only works for SWATmorons going up against scared civilians who are going to surrender anyways.
they'd be better off watching fitness channels and us army instructional videos from the 50s then this high speed fantasy shit
Is that Babish?
>Is there a possibility that the popularity of guntubers on YouTube is a pys-ops in order to help train and prepare American Zoomers into World War 3?
Do you even know what the fuck you're saying? What kind of "psy-op" would that be? "Psy-op" means psychological operation, not just anything the government planned. Most of these guntubers are teaching in case of SHTF scenarios, so more like if the American Gov't turned on its own people. Otherwise they'd be teaching traditional combat theory (which I know some of Leviathan Group like Garand Thumb does, so you may have a point in that regard).
Brass Facts and Nutnfancy are independent YT channels, big people like Trex Arms and Garand Thumb are a apart of Leviathan Group. Those are the ones you wanna look out for.
https://www.leviathangroupllc.com/tribe
And finally, nothing you learn on YouTube would be practical without applying it to training.
To correct myself, TREX Arms are not in Leviathan Group, I was mistaken, I was thinking of Rex Reviews. Sorry, been a long night.

hey retard, all the leviathan group guys regularly use their platforms to encourage voting against retarded gun grabbing bills in their states.
You're aggressively agreeing with me, anon. Leviathan isn't a bad thing for gun owners; consumerist, sure, but it still serves to benefit long-term pro-2A political goals.
Not my fault you lack pattern recognition.

tell me people aren't really this retarded

Content creaters are a major mistake for an entire generation
channels like these are just ways for companies to advertise the latest tacticool gear and enable consumers to justify purchases because, obviously, the only way to survive a hurricane or power outage is with a fireteam, gucci gear, and nods
