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.
Lot of leftists racists on Lemmy along with right wing. I was just banned from memes because I told a Tankie that I lived under communism and it sucked. He then denied that I lived under communism or that I was even brown. I then told him I also hate capitalism for commiting genocide on my people, but the communists weren’t much better to the indigenous. He then told me I was again lying and that communists wouldn’t hurt natives.
I called him out on the racist view so I got banned
wow… this is unbelievable to everyone who has the never seen or heard a republican before.
NYS Assembly benefits administrator here. I can’t wait to process the termination paperwork for Peter Giunta. It will be the highlight of my work week.
Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”
Looks like you’re not the washed up one, after all.
And instead of disavowing these scumbags, JD Vance is saying it’s not a big deal.
Just more “locker room” talk from the fascists.
Just like how it’s “locker room” talk about committing sexual assault.
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
…to the surprise of absolutely no one.
People need to go play Mike Tyson knockout with these people. Even the women. Nazi’s should be walking scared. Give them no peace.
Both sides, right?
These are Charlie Kirk’s people.
If you really love him you should go out just like he did.
Indeed. If you’re a fan of Hitler, follow his example and take yourself out. Save the rest of us the bullet.
I am shocked I tell you.
And some idiot in one discussion still tries to convince me there is a difference between Republicans and Nazis…
As if to put an even finer point on it. I just watched blackkklansman today and they really hammered home that that bullshit is not in the past, it is the present reality we live in. Opening lemmy to see the exact shit the white supremacists in the movie spewed is almost poetic in a fucked up way.
I cruised reddit the other day and was surprised at the boomer sexism all over the page.
Everyone with morals or if you hated Nazis got banned!
You said you hate nazis. Banned for inciting violence.
Some of us just left before the IPO made everything worse.
Which it has, obviously.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Yup these are his people, never forget that he was a mod of r/jailbait. Pedophile party all the way through.
Reddit will never take a stand against sexist, womanizing creeps.
Their communities are too large and bring in too much consistent ad revenue.
I’d love to say this surprises me, but it does not in the slightest.
100%. These assholes have been trained to gaslight and trot out nonsense about Robert Byrd being in the Klan like 100 years ago, or that Democrats were the real racists because of shit that happened before the 1960s, and completely ignoring (or lying about) things like the Southern Strategy and how the parties completely re-aligned since the Civil Rights era.
Thing is, I’m a white guy and I know how these motherfuckers talk when they think they are in a safe space. I grew up in an area that was overwhelmingly Republican, deeply racist and nearly 100% white.
They ain’t fooling me, I can tell you that much. This ain’t my first rodeo, I’ve heard all this shit before, and I’ve seen these mofos in action online since the BBS days, and shortly after that, the USENET days. I don’t care what kind of rhetoric they try to dress their “movement” up with and it doesn’t matter what protocol or platform they are on…their methods and tactics like employing the Gish Gallop should not fool anyone, either.

Same! I have the added pleasure of being a big, bearded, “straight-passing” gay man. I get to have really fun moments were the Republicans around me say despicable things about gays, I tell them I’m actually gay, then they trip all over themselves to explain how they’re actually totally cool with the gays. I call them out for being racist when that happens too. Making them uncomfortable by calmly shining light on their own words is one of my favorite group activities.
I’m bi, but straight passing. I got that southern boy look and draw in my voice. I do hard labor and I’ll jam out to some red dirt country music…and boy when I speak my.mind to folks like that, they don’t know what to do. I understand how you feel. It’s funny, but also annoying. Just cause we share the same pigmentation doesn’t mean we share the same views.
I want to like this comment 10 times. I feel like I’m reading my clones thoughts.
and how the parties completely re-aligned since the Civil Rights era.
“Completely” is wrong. The economically progressive policy on one side and crony-capitalist on the other have not shifted places.
One can rather describe it in the “Nazi bar” terms, racists jumped from the Democrat “bar” to the Republican “bar” and changed it for their ideas, but only where the racist categories were not orthogonal.
The end of the Dixiecrats
The Hitler Youth is back, although they never really left.
What is so goddamned infuriating is how the RW assholes like Tucker pull that Murc’s Law shit - that if he finds that he “has” to vote for fascists, it is the liberals that made him do it, because they have been (rightly) pointing out what fascists the Republicans and conservatives really and truly are.
That’s some serious mental gymnastics there - the fascists that keep showing their hand are going to end up fascists because the meanie smarty-pants liberals called them fascists, and that’s the only reason they are fascists. Well, that, and most entertainment and universities and science and culture really are not overly friendly to the far right, and even might have - gasp - not attacked the already-marginalized. Those monsters. Yep, it’s entirely the fault of the “woke” mind virus that the fascists became fascists who voted for other fascists. No other reason. Some blue-haired trans with too many face piercings stole their masculinity or something.
Even worse, the fucking Tone Police among the “centrists”, the corporate/conservative mainstream media that is called the “liberal media”, and not a few Democrats help them in this bullshit narrative.
