Its interesting to me that this guy started vice, and clearly is pretty open and liberal acting, but the style of ironic nazi posting that went on in 4chan just leaked out into the world like this. I'm not quite sure Gavin had all this in mind at the time, but it was pretty haute couture to be all about this puritanical self responsibility stuff, before it got so fucking twisted to death by Christian radicals.
Ironic nazi posting and its apropriation by actual nazis predate 4chan. Like many awful things, it originates from Hungary, thanks to a garbage game developer turned far-right blogger Tamás "Tomcat" Polgár.
