For me the easiest tell is the up front, unprompted, and unsolicited declaration of nonpoliticalness. When someone takes the time and expends the breath to announce how nonpolitical they are, what follows is almost always a rant about how everything/everyone else is too political these days, and that of course leads into something between status quo advocacy and outright reactionary/regressive sentiments for some fabled time before those wicked politics were visible to the nonpolitical ranter. centrist

People that are hostile to service workers. Some just want to take some ideological stand against tipping when the service worker doesn't really have a choice and needs those tips to survive in the current unjust system in a way where ideological purity gestures toward that service worker just look like being a greedy and sanctimonious asshole. The worst of such people will actually declare, shamelessly, that they believe that service workers don't deserve a living wage. The implications of that are gulag worthy.

I may get shit for this, but I'll say it anyway: this hair and beard combo, seen on living people. yes-chad I have yet to meet anyone in person with that look that wasn't a chud.

(If one of you is a comrade with that look, I am sorry in advance for the prejudice and if I ever meet you in person I will atone by buying you a drink or something.)

If theyre afraid of going into cities at all and act like everyone there is just waiting to kill or rob them (they're white and from the suburbs)

White women who have no problem talking about misogyny but immediately change the subject when talking about racism

White women who say "I just want to love everyone" when talking about racism (they love the racists)

Asian people who only date white people and think being fetishized is a compliment

Anyone with a gigantic truck they only use to commute to work and buy groceries

If they are as interested in politics as I am, there's a high chance it's for the opposite reasons

A while back, a friend I hadn't seen in years mentioned within 30 minutes of our reunion that Trump was an anarchist, they had a beautiful lib brain bursting to be free of it's confines

Ugh my hair sorta looks like this. It's messier on the top but I do like the sides pretty short, I think it works well with my head shape. I keep my beard shorter too. Hopefully it's different enough to not scare off cool people and not attract chuds.

Honestly most of the time I see a variety of ball cap on a white dude it feels like a tell. Not necessarily always a chud but I feel the ratio is in that direction. I would be curious if there is actually data on this or just a prejudice of mine.

Intense fearful gaze is another one, which is why they also love to wear sunglasses everywhere. The funniest thing chuds do is take selfies of themselves scowling with sunglasses on in their pickup truck.

Undercuts in general in white men is a huge tell. It's not 100%, but the correlation is significant. That shit's known as a "Hitler Youth" haircut for a reason.

I feel like I'm pretty good at getting a vibe that someone is shitty, but I can never pinpoint why so I don't say anything since I wouldn't want to baseless accuse someone and no one would take it seriously anyway, but I'm right a lot of the time. Then again I've interacted with people I thought were very cool because they'd posture themselves as woke and lefty but then laugh about getting someone arrested for shoplifting or they have a nazi uniform "fetish".
