    To me the Fiverr thing was clearly a really bad taste dark humor joke and a test of if they’d really write anything you told them to rather than his actual beliefs. It was really dumb and irresponsible to keep in the video though.

      I think it’s kind of funny though, not because of the message, but because it’s a complete slap in the face of “cancel culture.” It’s ironically baiting people to “cancel” him for trying to get others “cancelled.”

      He could have instead written “death to Indians” and it would’ve been similarly on-the-nose dark humor. The message here is only relevant in that you’re getting people to do something they wouldn’t normally do (if they understood what it meant) for a small amount of money. He’s not saying Indians are Nazis, or even that he is a Nazi, he’s merely poking fun at how easy it is to get someone go so something atrocious.

      That said, I would never do it because I’m not a jerk. That doesn’t mean I don’t find it funny and ironic though.
