How do you join the fascists not wanting to be the bad guy?

Like seriously, chuds carry themselves like campy anime villains. The legit scariest thing about the world is how many people are willing and have the power to destroy lives just to aura farm.

Many of them are extremely irony poisoned, a lot of them think the hatred and bigotry is just "ironic" and "for shock value" until they realise that their new buddies are ironic and insincere about everything but the racism and bigotry.

Letters to the Editor

As a conservative, I’m beginning to wonder: Are we the bad guys?

Republican bigotry, tariffs and defense spending, through readers’ eyes.

8 minutes ago

Nick Fuentes holds a rally in Lansing, Michigan, on Nov. 11, 2020. (Nicole Hester/AP)

Robert P. George’s Dec. 7 op-ed, “There are valid debates among conservatives. This isn’t one.,” argued that conservatives should stop promoting “white supremacy, antisemitism, eugenics, the subjugation of women, and other forms of ideological extremism and bigotry.”

You know what this means. It means it’s too late. Telling conservatives to stop being bigots is admitting they’re bigots. And I’m pretty sure a professor of jurisprudence telling them to cut it out isn’t going to work. Hey, you guys — stop being bigots! Oh, okay.

I served in the Reagan and George W. Bush administrations and would like to believe conservatism wasn’t always thus, but I’m beginning to wonder. Was the virus from which today’s bigotry sprang lying dormant in us back then, like chickenpox leading to shingles? The moral herpes virus? Was it like a recessive gene long buried in our ancestral DNA that suddenly got switched on and has become dominant?

Are these new conservatives in fact our descendants? Were we always secretly like this but were pretending we weren’t? I’m hoping these new conservatives are mutants, but I’m not so sure about that anymore.

Dude actually admits this and claims to be very serious about racism.

Absolutely nothing racist about murdering millions in Afghanistan and Iraq, especially when the reasoning came down to "well they're brown so they're evil".

I’m having trouble expressing the mental anguish reading this has caused me.

Thinking of the scene in Boogie Nights where he's like "what, you think you're the king?" And Burt Reynolds shoves him and shouts yes-sicko

You don't understand. That's different cause it's.. war or something idk. At least he didn't call them the n-word. That would be really fucked up

There was never anything dormant about it

Uh, yes dude, this is what it looks like when your side isn’t curtailed by the rest of society pulling in the opposite direction.

This is the consequence of your side winning. Congrats, dude! In order to create the mythic center you had to be on the devil’s side. Well you killed god’s agent. Now your side won. There is no center.

Maybe don’t build the torment nexus, you fucking stupid jackasses
