    4channers and such have a highly caricaturized strawman of leftists as constantly angry, panicked, stereotypical SJWs. I don't recommend it, but if you hang out on 4chan long enough, you can catch threads where they roleplay as "leftists", and all the posts are exactly like this.

      Y'know, that's fine. They show themselves immediately that way. If they were actually good at it there would be trouble.

        I like it when they try to play it low-key. Sometimes they get 4, almost 5 days before saying some really stupid shit.

          They always reveal themselves. Which I find pretty funny because as a more or less day 1 user, I'm pretty sure if I went heel and started some wrecker accounts they would last and probably work. It's not that we don't have weaknesses, they just literally can't imagine them

              Yeah, that's hitting a real dividing point. I think a lot of those were on-boarded Reddit people that didn't know it was different than their subreddit. I dunno. Be vegan still

                          Feds would be absolutely wasting their time doing anything but observing here and even that isn't really a great use of time. Grooming YouTubers makes perfect sense, they did it to movies and TV of course they're gonna co-opt YouTube. You gotta just take stuff like that as given.

            We shouldn't pat ourselves on the back too much about this. Obviously 100% of the chud wreckers we know about are ones that we figured out. It's tautological.

                      I feel like we need mod approved bit accounts. Gotta DM an admin with your bit and what you intend to do using your real account first. I understand the dangers of unregulated bit accounts but also that they can be really really funny.

                        True. But even then, I think I'd give away the account for someone who can commit to the bit. It sucks trying to think in character, and I keep thinking Hulk Hogan when I imagine the voice.

        The best part is that the straw man they created is exactly them. Just with the things they don't like instead of the things they like. If you mock their manliness, or whiteness, or whatever they flip the fuck out and cry like babies lol

          It's fucking bullying 101, don't mock people for things you feel bad about yourself for, they teach that shit in every anti bullying PSA ever, don't be insecure and taking it out on the weak, be a real bully's bully and mock the things they don't like about themselves. That's how you scar someone.

      it's even more concentrated on facebook groups or among real life groups of chuds. You'd come to believe there is no coherent leftist political agenda, instead there is blue hair, being gay, and dumb blonde jokes repackaged as AOC quotes

      If they had kept up with the rhetoric then the equivalent would have been something like "hit an extra red light on my commute this morning. Therefore, I hate my landlord and they should die." And then we would all call them based and they'd fit right in.

      My 2c is that they're afraid to even utter the things we like and admit that there's a spectre haunting them.

    it sucks that if one of us infiltrates one of their weird online communities, pretends to be an ally, and starts posting wack shit as a bit, some unhinged asshole shoots up a Chucky Cheese looking for reptilian-human hybrids or like a political project around eating baking soda sandwiches and drinking apple cider vinegar to cure gay thoughts ends up overwhelming an urgent care center in eastern Oregon.

    I used to delight in tail twisting idiots online by making up outrageous shit and watching the aftermath, but the risks of success are too high.

    Unlike Echo Chamber Central over here, I’ve actually talked to people from the radical end of our opposition. It’s even more horrifying to hear the genocidal rhetoric coming from someone who is merely possessed by ideology rather than unhinged in some way.

      Ideologically committed Nazis that actually read theory and understand why they beleive what they do are like the most slimy, disgusting, horror movie type people you can ever interact with.

      Most of these chuds are just caught up in the ideological undertow of our existing system. They pick up on the inherent white nationalism and exploitation of the status quo and just passively accept it as good and anything that challenges it as bad. It's the ones that see the underbelly and see it as weak and not enough that start to drive genocidal rhetoric into the mainstream.

      In America at least, it's strikingly rare to find fascists who actually know what they're talking about because they have sense enough to say the quiet parts quiet. They're fully aware of current America's ability to enact almost everything they could ever want and are content to worm their way into power through the available means. See Stephen Miller for an example. These scumbags are more common than we probably realize because they've had decades of figuring out how to craft plausible deniability and dogwhistles.

      Everyday real life chuds are more often either just depressing or small business dipshits. Neither of them know how to articulate the quiet part or even the loud part, so they mix it all up and end up with a muddled pile of slurs and homophobia. It is often frightening though, so I know what you mean. It's often very frightening to meet someone for the first time, see a glint of humanity in their eyes, then you get to know them a little better until the FoxNews and racism just comes dripping out of their mouths. Not even fully formed or coherent, just a mangled mush of racist genocidal rhetoric and flippant cultural grievances over cartoon characters. It's such a terrible feeling, getting to know someone just to watch the light drain from their face as they begin to complain about Mr Potato Head's gender.
