Is it even worth it to point out GOP hypocrisy anymore? It doesn't work. I mean, maybe some of them secretly cry themselves to sleep over what they have become but they come in the next morning ready to debase themselves same as the day before. And most of them probably don't have Trump's excuse of having a legit personality disorder.

I am almost convinced that Red Panels is a long con troll. It has to be. The mask slips to much. Still, pretending to be a nazi or actually being one are both heinous things so gently caress 'em to hell and back.

Or better put:

The Trumpist fauna has plenty of species to marvel at, but for me the most pathetic is the trolls who somehow still think they're "ironically" supporting fascism and white supremacy. Because yeah, I'm fully aware that there's nothing "ironic" about the core of the alt-right, and I'm also aware that this whole propaganda-thru-dank-memes was part of Stormfront's strategy to coopt 4chan and other cesspools in order to spread their message. But when these shitheads say "b-b-but the alt-right aren't all neo-nazis!", like, they're actually right. It's just that, for me, that makes it worse, not better. Because jesus christ, how pathetic do you have to be to understand that your group is infested with neo-nazis, not be a neo-nazi yourself, and still help the general effort for the sake of feeling you're "in on the joke"?

So I've pieced together, after months and months of looking at the Brit cartoons posted here, that the Telegraph is a poo poo paper. Is this correct?

Until the 1970s, the standard test for whether a toilet had sufficient flushing power was to see if it could suck down half of a Telegraph.

Kirschen, you unbelievable cock, the ban is on people who have left those countries. And that would include, say, Iranian Jews who fled the regime. But I'm sure you know what that's like, you emigrated from New York after all, now that's persecution!

You know, for the self-declared spokesperson of a country based on the idea of accepting people from a world-wide diaspora, you've always been awfully quiet about Jews anywhere other than Israel. Except for when you're declaring American Jews race traitors, of course. You've spent more time talking about Coptic Christians than you have non-Israeli Jews. Why is that, Kirschen?

Goons, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Kirschen might only be concerned about the ~~white~~right kind of Jews.

Technically speaking, getting way madder than anyone should ever get about the abstract concept of people punching Nazis and being a Nazi are not the same thing

but it's a moot point because this motherfucker is a loving Nazi

Like, as far as I can tell, Red Panels' stance is that he is not a Nazi because rather than being a literal fascist, he is a libertarian who also happens to be a white supremacist. He likes referring to Nazis as a (correct, plucky, admirable) separate entity from himself.

But it's super telling that when faced with a choice between supporting fascist white-supremacists and pro-democracy non-white-supremacists, he constantly chooses to defend the Nazis, meaning that white supremacy is more important to him than democracy. Add in the fact that "mainstream" libertarians are basically republicans who are particularly obsessed with a "might makes right" view of the world, and the distinction between the two concepts gets thin and blurry as hell.

At best, he's a Nazi who thinks we should elect a new Fuhrer every eight years. At worst, he's a Nazi who is calling himself something else because he knows Nazis have a branding problem. Either way he is for all intents and purposes a loving Nazi, no matter what his weasel words are. The ephebophile of Nazism if you will.

As Chapo pointed out, they have repeatedly shown they don't care about Republican hypocrisy so it's pointless and a waste of time to treat it as some sort of "gotcha" that'll get them on your side.

I think the larger issue is that they are just too good at retconning their recollection of events.

When they come out and boo hoo about how big mean Obama spent 8 years slapping olive branches out of their hands and refusing to meet them partway on any issue ever, they honestly truly believe that's what happened - and a little something like hours of documented video/audio footage of them repeatedly bragging about blocking him at every turn isn't going to stop them from believing their narrative.
