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.
The Hitler Youth is back, although they never really left.
“we are officially under consideration for a (fucking child rapist∆) endorsement”
Fucks sake. How damn stupid/evil do you have to be to think that an endorsement from the Orange TurdNugget is a good thing?
( ∆ I will not say or write its’ name ever again. The tangerine traitor doesn’t deserve it, fucking kiddie fiddling nonce)
You mean Donald j Trump, child rapist, and best friend, self admitted, of Jeffrey r Epstein? So his name, but always include all the details so Google and ask other search engines know who he is.
I think you meant Donald J Trump, child rapist, 38-time felon, best friend of notorious child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, and the man who publicly stated that he would date his underage daughter.
(You forgot to capitalize the J)
Capitalization is for things that are important. Like the first letter of a sentence, not a thirty eight time felon, like donald j trump, who writes birthday cards to pedophiles and sex traffickers like jeffrey epstein, and openly brags about violating people’s rights.
Donald j Trump, that sexually assaulted women by grabbing them by the pussy, and raped children? The current president of the United States of America? That Donald j Trump? The one that enjoyed being pissed on in Russia?
…to the surprise of absolutely no one.
wow… this is unbelievable to everyone who has never seen or heard a republican before.
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?
We do give them a lot of attention. We should but we also need to remember how badly they see out numbered
We might very well be solving that problem ourselves right now.

People are very very awful. The internet reveals their true selves. That’s why Ultron wanted to end humanity.
Not necessarily, I dont wanna be that guy but I was joining in with the edgy racist shite on 4chan about 15 years ago because I thought it was all humour. Its possible a lot of these are just edgy teens thinking its all japes. I mean if its not, fuck them right off, but there’s still hope that theres not as many truly awful people as might seem.
I gave up on 4chan when I started realising it looked like I was the only one laughing.
See, the thing is, though, this stuff is poison. It’s locker room bs at first, but, fundamentally it’s tribalism and deviancy division between in-groups and out-groups.
The more you dig and learn about psychology, sociology, and history, the more you ☹️ because you realize… It’s us.
My partner and I were just talking about deviancy theory earlier today, and were discussing whether or not technology has moved too fast. Yes = our brains are lizards and the internet is amplifying our current weaknesses as a species. No = ?
Yes, but THIS prevelant in real life was a suprise.
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.
I’ll grant “differentiating”, sure, but hating? Hard disagree.
People end up hating/rationalizing people being bad because they believe they believe people are different races.
There’s a big difference between something being rational and being able to rationalize it.
Indeed.
Race is a thing. It is a social construct, but it’s a thing.
Beings are only a different race if they can not produce an offspring together, as I recall from school 🧐
You’re thinking “species”. And even then it isn’t cut and dry.
And it might be that they’re sometimes able to have offspring, but the offspring is sterile.
I am not a biologist though, and could be wrong.
Yea, seems I recalled wrong xD
Exactly - just because a thing is a social construct, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or that it somehow doesn’t affect people in real ways.
Racism is a real thing. Culture is real. Nationality is real. Ethnic heritage is real.
But race is not, in the same way that my made up category of “things that i think are bad” is not real. Yes, it exists, I guess for some people. But as a universal concept that is solidly definable, no.
Wanna try? Define me a race.
There is only one race: the human race.
Everything else are variations.
(Not counting other species of course)
Ok, but that doesn’t mean that the concept of race doesn’t exist in the minds of most humans. Unfortunately.
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.
Wow, read this whole article.
i had to bow out when they called Epstein a wealthy financier
Thanks. I just did because of this. Holy cow.

“If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked fr fr,” he wrote.
Get cooked, fuckface. nihilist racist pieces of shit
Great job on Politico’s part, though.
What’s wrong with “nihilist”?..
On it’s own, nothing really? As long as you don’t let that nihilism justify making life worse for others.
Combined with racism and the rest of the bigotry on display in these leaked exchanges, I think it’s useful to distinguish between someone whose ignorance has allowed them to be co-opted by bigotry against their own interests, and someone who justifies their bigotry because “nothing really matters”. I also think it’s useful to accuse them of not actually believing in anything when they’re running a political movement. Especially if the target audience for that movement does have a belief that some things intrinsically matter (be it democracy or, more likely here, the christian faith).
I’ll readily admit I was mainly trying to go for more than just “racist pieces of shit”, while having a clear impression from the tone and content of the leaked exchanges that there is an undercurrent of nihilism that is, if not fueling them, then at least lubricating them. If you have a better suggestion I would love to hear it.
Say what you want about the tenants of National Socialism Dude, but at least it’s an ethos.
I thought that at some point, but after encountering many real people in my life (doing all the human things, like breathing, eating, walking, sleeping, not an alien at all) I don’t anymore. It doesn’t fucking matter which consistent ethos a person has, all of them are fundamentally inconsistent due to human psychology or conflicts with the complexities of reality. And some of those suck donkey balls. Like National Socialism.
It’s a quote, from a very popular movie.
And nihilism is not healthy, it sounds like you should talk to a professional, but all they’re going to tell you is to get a hobby. Check out the library, lots of free/cheap starter hobbies.
Catching all sorts of strays lately.
Nihilist doesn’t mean “is cool with murdering people”
No. They did not worry. You think they weren’t ready for this?
Yep, still deplorable.
I am shocked I tell you.
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.
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.
Everyone with morals or if you hated Nazis got banned!
Some of us just left before the IPO made everything worse.
Which it has, obviously.
You said you hate nazis. Banned for inciting violence.
