They need to have total warfare all around them, like some Call of Duty/Counterstrike poo poo before they decide it's ok, otherwise it's a false flag op by obama to discredit the right. Even when it'e one of their own. Because as a reminder to anyone new to these threads, James von Brunn, the Holocaust Museum shooter, was a freep poster. After the incident his post history was scrubbed from the site and they deny him ever being there.

Wait, that Freeper is saying that all black people descended from Africans hate Christianity?  There are A LOT of American black Christians. In Africa itself, there are A LOT of Christians. In the New Testament, one of the first people to hear the Gospel was an Ethiopian man! Freeps stupid racism continues to disgust me.

You'd think that when you're at the point where you're saying "Hey maybe those Nazis are okay after all!" that you'd stop and ask what the gently caress is wrong with you, but Freep just embraces it wholeheartedly.

Nazi apologia and claims Hitler went after the wrong people used to be pretty common on freep, until they discovered that "national SOCIALISM you guys!!!" equivalency. Their idea of ideological reflection is basically rule of the laziest and pettiest ideas, so they don't have to hurt their brains thinking too hard about anything.

Since this is a new thread and all, and also because all the previous ones have shown it to be inevitable, I'll take this opportunity to suggest that anyone who's new to freep should take a few minutes and read Umberto Eco's essay, Ur-Fascism. We tend to reference it quite a bit, sometimes to the point of distraction, as freepers tend to straddle the line between "ordinary reactionary rear end in a top hat" and "brownshirt in waiting" (and many have already merrily goose-stepped their way over it). Points 7 and 8 are particularly relevant, but all are useful to understanding the freeper mindset.

Captain_Maclaine posted:We do tend to turn this thread into an Eco chamber at times, admittedly. Which brings up another important point. The vast majority of this thread is us liberals getting our 2 minutes of hate in on some truly detestable conservative assholes. However, these guys represent a tiny extreme segment of conservatism that is slowly dying (very, very slowly). Don't let the poo poo you see in this thread overwhelm your good senses when interacting with conservative folks anywhere else online or in real life. They aren't all secretly freepers at hear, just waiting for their chance to gun down urban ferals in the street.

At this point you could probably pick something at random and they'll slippery slope and paranoid delusion their way right to it. Somehow gay marriage will result in forced abortions, death panels, invalidate their own marriage, and turn children gay. And maybe something about christians being hunted in the street for sport by roving bands of muslim urban ferals. Generally speaking though most of them seem to think that allowing gay people to marry violates their own right to hate all gay people and stone them to death in the street. Edit - beaten by a mile

It's not just that they live in tiny towns (though that's a part of it), it's that they live in racially homogenous ones, where even the modestly large cities are 90% white. My brother lives in a minority-majority city. When he talks with relatives from more rural areas, they act like he's living in lawless wasteland. They also constantly refer to the entire city as "the ghetto." They just hate and fear black people, anything else is window dressing. Oh wait, gay people: they may know a gay person, but the fact that he or she is gay is never, ever, mentioned. They'll refer to his partner he's been living with for 15 years as his "friend," for example. Also, what StandardVC10 said. That being said, I would guess that the number of people living in tiny rural areas is overrepresented on freep.

The city adjacent to the one where I grew up is called Painesville. People in the nearly 100% white schools that I attended referred to it as being "the ghetto" because there were a lot of latino ("mexicans") and black people who live there, likely because there used to be a lot of manufacturing jobs. Here's a picture of what it looks like to head into downtown:  As you can see, it's obviously a crime-ridden hellhole. I mean, it's hard to find a good, high-res picture of the city, but if you google it, you'll see what I'm talking about. I know that a picture doesn't tell the whole story, but for real. It's actually an awesome little place with cool buildings and a nifty vibe, but non-whites ruin it entirely for rural whites in the town where I grew up.

The Libertarian movement was always rather comfortable with the white supremacist movement (check out "Found: Libertarians' "Lying To Liberals" Guide Book" and "Charles Koch's Brain Shuts Down The Holocaust" by Mark Ames for some details) and now a lot of people who are just straight-up Republicans are calling themselves Libertarians because the brand's not as damaged.
