Ron Unz's American Pravda Series (https://www.unz.com/page/american-pravda-series/)
Ron Unz was born in California in 1961 to Ukrainian Jewish immigrants and seems to have made a modest fortune in Silicon Valley in the 1990s (nothing near todays tech billionaires though). His "American Pravda" series of articles raises the question "what if most of the historical and political narrative of the 20th century is wrong?" Unz's himself makes the analogy of a young Russian/Eastern European researcher discovering after the fall of the Iron Curtain that most of what they had been taught and what "everybody knows" is wrong, or at least severely distorted. One would expect such a state of affairs within Soviet Communism, but could the same thing have happened in the West? Unz says: "yes."
How could this happen? Unz, through a now lengthy series of articles, argues that Western "history" has been written by Journalists and ideologically motivated academics. There's the gamergate tie in. Some of the content wasn't new to me, some of it was astonishing. I highly recommend the series.
I'm not sure which of part of the series I would recommend beginning with. Because the time period he tends to focus on is the inter-bellum period to the aftermath of WW2 you might consider one of the big ones: "American Pravda: Understanding World War II" (https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-understanding-world-war-ii/). The article I found most jaw dropping was "American Pravda: Our Great Purge of the 1940s" (https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-our-great-purge-of-the-1940s/).
All of his articles have an audio recording, making them pretty easy to digest.

It's RINO's all the way down.

"Always has been"
Well the comments section look very much like the Internet of yore, lots of citations and far flung opinions. Will take me time to read the articles, as there are lots of them.
Under Ron's author page there is a section called PERSONAL Classics with these 6 articles:
American Pravda: Holocaust Denial • 2h8m
American Pravda: Understanding World War II • 2h31m
American Pravda: Jews and Nazis • 50m
American Pravda: Oddities of the Jewish Religion • 55m
How Social Darwinism Made Modern China • 52m
American Pravda: The ADL in American Society • 51m
I'll start there and see what sticks with me. Thanks for sharing!
Those are all pretty good. To be honest I didn't want to scare people off with the prominent featuring of Jews in his Personal Classics; on the other hand, I love his response to his website being called a “White Supremacist website” by the Washington Post:
Sound familiar?

This is...eye opening to say the least.
I knew we weren't fed the whole truth, but some of the stuff I read in there is shocking. I had no idea G.I.s were cutting off the ears of Japanese soldiers for trophies and sending the skulls home to their girlfriends.
Hmmm...dehumanization. I wonder where I've seen that recently?
I don't think the good guys won WWII anymore. In fact, I'm not sure there were any good guys at all above the rank of Captain.
about that
Yarvin is misleading.
Yeah, he is very suspect. Remember he made it all the way to a Fox News appearance.
