NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
I’d love to say this surprises me, but it does not in the slightest.
It’s amazing to me that there are genuinely this many white nationalists/nazis irl. I honestly had no clue people were this awful and prevalent.
I’ve never seen people more openly willing to hate other humans based on race, gender or sex.
Why do we get to exist as a species if we are this toxic to ourselves?
Hating and differentiating people based on race is pretty rational as long as you believe race is a real thing. That’s kinda why it’s called race-ism.

Race is a thing. It is a social construct, but it’s a thing.
People are very very awful. The internet reveals their true selves. That’s why Ultron wanted to end humanity.
Yes, but THIS prevelant in real life was a suprise.
We do give them a lot of attention. We should but we also need to remember how badly they see out numbered
