I still don’t think there can be that many internet nazis, compared to racists of earlier generations. They’re still outcasts, because I feel like normal kids who play video games still integrate them into their larger social world, like playing with friends. Snapchat can serve regular teenagers who have actual friends or disgusting weirdos who seek out boobs and get nazis, but there still has to be some kind of malfunction.

Maybe the distinction is that introvert nerds used to have to go outside?

no i know what it is. now that superheroes are mainstream nerds needed new heroes, the nazis.

somebody should definitely do that feature in teen vogue though, ive been in toxic relationships, and it kills me to read stories like that, and yeah after i said it sarcastically it makes sense that most teen girls probably wouldnt be able to identify nazi symbology outside of swastikas and, like the ss runes

As we sat on the grimy roof of the squat, bathed in dying streetlights watching the sun rise, we knew we could do it. We hungrily consumed the last of the dumpstered bagels and gripped each other’s hands in the glow of early morning. And we knew right then, and forever -- if we could change that lightbulb, we could change the entire world.

which cult? i have always been facinated with them

fun story: years back i was walking down hollywood boulevard around christmas time with some buddies. as we were walking we noticed a big fancy winter wonderland in an empty lot. it had awinding path that went past fake snowy hills and pine trees and whatnot and ended at a big throne a santa was sitting on

one of my friends pointed out that the big "WINTER WONDERLAND" sign above santas throne had some tiny text underneath it that read "presented by L. Ron Hubbard & the Church of Scientology"

so scientology was straight up celebrating another religions holiday. im pretty sure their scam was to mail people the pictures of their kids on santas lap so they could send them scieno lit

mcdowell is apparently a heaven's gate member. it still exists even after the mass suicide, though im not entirely sure how involved with them he is. speaking of cults that still exist aum shinrikyo is still around too.

im aware of both

there is a great podcast called Cults you can listen to that covers both cults. its like way overproduced, like a 1940's radio show or something, but they do a good job of covering the subject matter. i highly recommend it

the aum shinryuko guy apparently sold his bath water for thousands of dollars, ran for prime minister, and published a manga based on his cults beliefs

because seriously, what's the probability of it being legit? it's zero, basically zero, there can't be more than a dozen true believers of that weird cult

Pick ones based on topics you're interested in. Their serial killer stuff is the best imo

Also it's very relaxed and jokey and also one of the hosts does a Problematic "Asian voice" so be forewarned

i talk to a bunch of rich asian dudes on a regular basis so im cool with that

like i talk to people who have such thick chinese accents that when im talking to them my eyes roll back in my head and i replay what they jjjust said three times at a minimum so i can process it

TRS has finally discovered It's Going Down. One of them comes up with a brilliant plan...

quote:

I wonder if that's something we can use against them.

To the average normie, and that's what moderators/hosting company representatives/smaller journalists are, the people who run that site are crazy extremists who host right-wing content. That's all a hosting company needs to know to pull the plug, isn't it?

So, we could try to use the Daily Stormer precedent against this site. See if we can score a double win by getting their pulling website pulled... for hosting right-wing content.

they're more visible cause we know where their communities are and more vocal cause they have anonymity (atleast the illusion) on the net i guess

the research I've read and interviews I've taken part in doesn't point to millennials and z being extra racist or conservative than earlier generations. there is some worrying things like where they get their news from (facebook/youtube) and that both sides are the same when it comes to politics, the spectre of ~centrism~ looms heavily

there's some promising stuff however like views on war, healthcare, housing and LBGT are generally progressive.

There’s this poll I can never find that says some crazy proportion of teenagers have experienced sexual attraction to men and women and reject a gay/straight binary as accurate for describing themselves. I guess the trans 4chan people prove that’s no protection against reactionary whites, but it seems promising.
