there was also tons of jews who supported hitler. The ‘manosphere’ pretends to be inclusive to men when its just a white nationalist spin off.

“see we have some black supporters! dont mind what we have planned for them after we take-over please! grrr! those pesky woman wont let us get laid! focus on that not the swastika in the background!”

I think backfiring would be the wrong phrasing, Caucasian people after all statistically get the best outcome in pretty much every demographic of life IIRC.

For instance i remember as a youngster feeling like life was tough in the USA–until i visited Africa. I don’t think its right though to for instance blame current people from England for the occupation of say, India, but I also don’t think right for them to claim their country hasn’t somehow benefited from it and through that, they themselves.

I am optimistic about the future though. I am biracial and I feel as mobility/travel/the acceptance of others has grown eventually we will all be one–and yes I realize how sappy that is.

in my experience it was the kids in the front whining “Why come they have a black student union and we dont have a white one waaaaah! i am now a victim! DEI! why is that white girl dating a minority waaaaah!”

the victim complex is strong with them, like the dark side of the force it seduces them. (nice I got some white boys angry)

I think its got merit. Do you recall Steve Bannon when he was just starting out and I quote : “In describing gamers, Bannon said, These guys, these rootless white males, had monster power. … It was the pre-reddit. It’s the same guys on (one of a trio of online message boards owned by IGE) Thottbot who were [later] on reddit” and other online message boards where the alt-right flourished, Bannon said"

this was him talking about World of Warcraft…

i agree. i also think the bad actors that can turn someone hateful are more easily passing their hate through social media/youtube etc

I hope the pendulum swings back and we get a decade where people make peace. i’m not hedging my bet on it though.

hate is not passed on like genetics.

I’ve known people who become spiteful/hate-filled over time because they like to have a punching bag, someone underneath them if they have sorry lives. Some of them just plain ol like to hate people. This is not nuanced. Some people are just terrible, awful human beings. We don’t have to cross examine their upbringing to understand this.

One of my best friends growing up around berkeley had hippy parents, he is now a racist trumper. Parents had nothing to do with it. And his half sibling is part african american. You can’t reason with shit people, and theres no point in trying to. He loudly claims that white people need their own country. He can go fuck himself without nuance.

The point they have with the propaganda is they hate people. “Ban all muslims” followed by a cheering crowd “build a wall” followed by cheering people. “I didnt lose the election they cheated–get them!” followed by a mob of thugs assaulting cops.

Its really not that nuanced. They just hate people. That’s all their is to it. If they don’t have hate in their hearts they wouldn’t vote for trump. He’s not even good for the economy for anyone who pays attention.
