      Posting under the “Noble Media Resource Channel” on Telegram, Proud Boys member Jeremy Bertino saluted Seagraves under his nickname, writing, “POYMFM ROOSTER.” “POYMFM” is an acronym for “proud of your mother f*cking boy.”

          Fascist aesthetics play well in media because that’s basically what they were designed for. Watching people replicate that behavior in large numbers inspires horror and awe. Seeing a small number of college-age dudes doing it is objectively hilarious.

          If anyone’s familiar with Doctor Who, I always think of the episode where some tech bro whiz kid builds some shit for the Sontarans (the fascist warrior race who look like humanoid potatoes) under some pretense that he’ll be exalted for his superiority as a human. And watching this gangly bio essentialist nerd play along with the Santaran chants is exactly how I love to see fascists: insecure individuals trying to reassure themselves with rituals about how badass they are.

      This would be a really good Twitter bot, if I liked NLP I'd put one together to de-passive-voice headlines that reference cops

        Oh shit. Is there a reasonable way to create a dataset for that?

          I was thinking I'd start with headlines from RSS news feeds, then maybe let people request by @-ing the bot with a headline

      ngl, my first thought reading the headline was "Wait, why would the cops burn him alive for doxxing lefties?"
