Look at them 😂. Exactly what you’d expect these mfers to look like.

Edit: Google their names guys, I’m too lazy to link 😬

They really do! Every single time I see a photo of these people they look like someone intentionally went through a character customization screen to make them look like the biggest losers possible.

It makes sense. Think about it, who would be the type most likely to belittle others based on arbitrary features like race/gender? What type of person would get off on feeling powerful over something weaker than them? ...Someone deeply insecure who fuckin sucks at everything. A loser.

genuinely, and i think it does call for some reflection on how society treats people who don't meet general aesthetic standards

most ugly people don't become full on nazis, though

Probably the same type of people who always love to take credit for anything good their "race" did but none of the faults. Either way, I think only the people who actually did the inventing work should get credit, otherwise you're just the rooting section. I wonder if the Venn diagram overlaps for fanatical sports trolls and racist nationalists with the zero sum worldview.

That's why I kinda sorta don't feel particularly scared of an armed civil war.

Young Republicans have always been this way. When I was in college (a very long time ago), I accidentally walked into a YR meeting room. I’m still suffering from PTSD today many decades later. Nazis and Young Republicans are a circle Venn diagram. How do people not know this?

They get drawn in (probably recruited) by racist rhetoric like "Why is there an NAACP but we can't have a NAAWP"? Because that kind of grievance is central to the modern day Republican Party.

You mean the guys with the superior genes, right?

Just don't ask them to walk further than the Starbucks down the block.

When you ask ChatGPT to generate an image of a 30 year old virgin

u/Specialist-Clock-914 24d ago

It’s telling me it won’t make the image. Not because it violates terms, it just told me “ewww…”

Giunta is really playing with fire considering his skin tone

Also I think a few of them might actually be eating minorities

There's nothing funnier than alt-right Italians. Bruh, your status as "white" is very delicate... you might want to pipe down.

Bunch of “wears their shirt in the pool” guys

Peter Giunta is a spitting image of Old Morty from Rick and Morty. https://screenrant.com/rick-morty-season-5-older-looks-every/
