For people who don't know what BitChute is: "BitChute is a video hosting service known for accommodating far-right individuals and conspiracy theorists, and for hosting hateful material." "The Southern Poverty Law Center wrote in 2019 that the site hosts "hate-fueled material", and the Anti-Defamation League wrote in 2020 that "BitChute has become a hotbed for violent, conspiratorial and hate-filled video propaganda, and a recruiting ground for extremists" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitChute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitChute

The ADL say that about ANY site that's even remotely critical of Israel. I've had the dubious honor of having my sites flagged by them as well.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is an activist organisation which will label just about anything as "far right" which does not fit their narrative [1]. Using them as a reference for something being related to far-right individuals and conspiracy theorists, and for hosting hateful material makes the claim less believable. This does not mean BitChute does not harbour such material - given the fact that BitChute does not censor content it is likely to be present, just like it is likely for it to harbour far-left individuals and conspiracy theorists - but SPLC calling something bad just means they disagree with whatever the something does.

The SPLC's entire business model is calling other people racist. The day they run out of racists is the day they go out of business. And is you look into their finances, you'll immediately see that their business is extremely profitable. The whole grievance industry is quite a grift. When one can't find enough racists, one simply creates them out of whole cloth. Either that or get your buddies at Miriam Webster and Dictionary.com to change some definitions around for you. Or simply have sympathetic allies in academia to create a new sociological their of victimhood for you, such as "microaggressions". The money's so good, I'd consider getting into it myself if I had no ethics. Plus the author of "White Fragility" stole my idea.
