#arith harger

To sum up what he says about the Reddit reply bot's post:

He never claimed to have any credentials he didn't have.

"Arith Härger" is a screen name, and his IRL name is João Figueiredo.

He based the name "Arith" on a character he made up as a child. He says that he is also of Danish descent, and "Härger" is a name from his family.

He neither a Satanist nor a LHP practitioner.

After Varg Vikernes/Louis Cachet was banned from YouTube, a number of former subscribers came to his channel. Seeing that Härger was not a white supremacist, they started a number of malicious rumors.

A tweet claimed to a racist opinion on George Floyd's murder was actually about something unrelated (not being in the US, he hadn't heard of the murder yet), but people just assumed.

I'd say this all makes enough sense; this whole claim that he was a secret racist and secret LHP practitioner didn't really make any sense given the values and beliefs he professed in the videos I'd watched.

That said, if you are going to watch his channel there are some things he says that should be taken with a grain of salt. He lumps Abrahamic religions together and uses the term "Judeo-Christian." This is definitely out of ignorance rather than malice. (If you want insight into those religions, definitely get it from people who are more specialized in them.) And maybe include channels like Ocean Keltoi and Nordic Animism, to widen your sources a bit.
