Analysis / Bias
MGTOW.tv is a website that allows users to upload videos. Other video streaming services often ban these videos. Videos often hold right-wing perspectives like this: The tree of liberty must be watered with the tears of leftists and tyrants.
While the videos uploaded to MGTOW.tv come from relatively unknown sources, others come from established sources with poor fact-checking records, such as Tim Poole, Jordan Peterson, and X22 Report. For example, this video from Tim Poole has been rated false by fact checkers NY Earthquake Epicenter Was Trump Golf Resort, IT IS THE END OF DAYS.
According to the ADL The Men Going Their Own Way Movement is a “distinct faction of the “manosphere,” the broad set of male supremacist, anti-feminist, misogynist and sometimes violent extremist movements that exist largely online.” The SPLC describes male supremacy as a “hateful ideology rooted in the belief of the innate superiority of cisgender men and their right to subjugate women, trans men, and nonbinary people.”
In general, the website publishes videos that relate to the male supremacy movement, while others promote a variety of right-leaning conspiracy theories and pseudoscience.
