It’s really hard to tell the difference between people who actually believe and people just doing the whole political kabuki thing. A huge amount of right wing conspiracy theory poo poo is performative. At some point you become what you pretend to be though.

It's just like superheroes or Harry Potter, but explicitly for the right: a simplistic fantasy world to retreat into when the world seems too complex and threatening. Most recognize that it's not real to a certain extent, never going farther then wanting to believe, but sometimes they cross that line.

(I love his 'friends' in that article btw, they're absolute monsters. Their propaganda ruined their friend's life and got an innocent man killed, and they blame him for taking it seriously instead of self-reflecting in any way or even considering stopping.)

Have any of these things been? I think, given how pathetic the Proud Boys are in general, going out in public even on an individual basis constitutes "not a great idea."

Edit: On the subject of IQ tests, their own inventor rebuked them later in life and said they were worthless and that IQ isn't a real thing, or at least not something that's actually measurable. They persist, almost 100 years later, because they fill some people's deep-seated emotional need to be provably 'superior' to others.

I think it would be good if YouTube's official policy was one of suppressing the promotion of fascist ideology. They aren't doing that, they're suppressing "cyberbullying" and slurs, and I think that's really loving stupid, because slurs don't matter at all and making fun of people is good.

Like, look at Carl of Sargon or whatever the gently caress. I don't loving care that he made a rape joke or said the n-word. I don't think he should be censured for those things. He should be deplatformed because he supports a fascist political party, and when it happens, that should be the stated reason why.

Slurs and rape jokes are cool and good, I don’t see what the problem is?

Living in Florida I met a lot of Lantinx people who were anti-immigrant conservatives. They would be a Cuban and say Mexicans were the problem or be Puerto Rican and say Cubans were the problem and had convinced themselves that anti-POC legislation and rhetoric on the right was aimed at whatever Lantinx groups they specifically hated but would not impact them. As if white conservatives can even tell them apart. It’s delisional.

Sometimes I think back to the article from the hispanic guy who was called an illegal by all his neighbors in the south growing up, and decided he would join ICE and be the most brutal and cruel ICE agent possible, and then he found out he wasn't a legal resident, and was shocked that after all of his vicious anti-immigrant savagery and cop bootlicking his ICE agent buddies immediately turned on him and he was promptly deported.

Specifically, I think about the end of that article, where he hasn't changed his beliefs at all and still hates immigrants, he just thinks he personally got a raw deal.

they are happening because of a fad, though? trumpism requires you to be as loud and obnoxious as humanly possible. if you boil down the entire chud logic behind losing the election, its that they simply cannot hold it in their head that there are that many people that don't like him. the alt-right is, quite literally, a movement about virtue signaling. the best way to do that is to get in a big ball of your buddies and march around to own the libs and punch some people who disagree with you, because that's what you do. you're stronger than they are, you beat them up because they aren't as strong as you. that's the trump ethos.

so what happens with no trump? yeah, the underlying conditions that led to trump aren't going away, but for the most part 2018/2020 can be seen as a "middle class" repudiation of trumpism. there's no socially acceptable rock for them to cling to, so the only way they can persist is to find some new unifying purpose to rally around.

i mean, maybe i'm wrong (i've been wrong about plenty of poo poo) but there's been so many opportunities for widespread violence and all we see is a bunch of "you better be glad that my buddy's holding me back!!" drunk dude poo poo.

Chuds absolutely, 100% do not see it this way. The election was stolen, and Trump's only failing - if they even believe he has one - is that he was too weak and indecisive to just take by force the presidency that was rightfully his. It's the same quiet complaint they've had about him the entire time: "I wish he actually would lock up his enemies", "I wish he would just kill all those protestors" etc.
