I've mentioned before that a Proud Boy was an occasional customer at the local GW store. Showed up for his first game with an unpainted and poorly-glued Mortarion and a start collecting box/Dark Imperium worth of stuff, got into a 2v2 game, a Death Company squad on my team obliterated his Morty, he got real salty. I could tell I didn't like him, but didn't realize he was an actually lovely person and not just annoying when he started saying stuff like "ah, that guy raped me" in reference to a unit attacking his troops or whatever. My reaction was more "whoaaaa" in a sort of  way. But then at some point during the game, his sleeve rolled up on his shirt and revealed his Proud Boy tattoo. For the record, I didn't read his shirt, but I see flags all the time on ex-mil guys and didn't put two and two together until the tattoo was exposed. So what I thought was just an awkward young shithead turned out to be a fascist, and a pussy. I saw him several weeks later and didn't respond to his greeting, I had already told the manager who I was friends with to beware of the fash kid. Then a month or two later he came in, tried to shake my hand when he saw me, I looked at it like it was covered in poo poo and turned my back to him. Haven't seen the little turd since. Good riddance, bitch

Fascism is bad. Except when it's the Imperium, then it's noble

I need a solid YouTube series on why the Nazis were morons and made bad stuff, this is very entertaining

PoptartsNinja posted:Absolutely. Whoa now please don't tell me Pardoe is fash. Granted I went through my MechWarrior book phase back when MW2: Mercenaries was a thing, but I'd be disappointed that one of my favorite of their books at the time was by a fascist

PoptartsNinja posted:Probably not directly, I've never met Pardoe in person and he comes across as something of a misguided history buff. That does mean he's possibly fascist adjacent, but I don't think it's born of malice or racism directly. Pardoe and Coleman just have a thing for the "plucky underdog" which is why both really favored the Capellan Confederation. BattleTech's setting has some inherently fascist elements but does a pretty good job (directly or indirectly) pointing out the flaws with feudalism and fascism. Victor Steiner-Davion's cronyism is ruinous for his nation, Kai Allard-Liao is the Great Man who Does Nothing, Daoshen Liao is a (highly capable and effective) madman whose belief in his own divinity just so happens to translate to the general betterment of his state (he believes he is the physical embodiment of the Capellan Confederation). The nobility who are the most openly "heroic" are always shown to be absolute monsters. I remember really loving Roar of Honor

From earlier, turns out Blaine Pardoe, Battletech author, is indeed fash
