Literally any mention of some supposed ‘western civilization’ or ‘western culture’. Like just say the 14 words already, cause we all know that’s what you believe in. Fucking coward
When someone is telling a story about how some random stranger did some inconsequential thing that bugged them like cut them off while driving or had their shopping cart in the way at the store and they make sure to tell you the offenders race. They NEVER include it if it was another white person.
“I’m a centrist” or “I’m a moderate.”
in Europe its mostly “I don’t understand why the workers have to strike every week” and being just overly annoyed about strikes even when it doesn’t disturb their day
Talking about gene pool or artificial selection to explain economic problems.
To add to this: talking about, or having preoccupation with ‘homogeneity’ or Darwin, or competition
All of these come from the same guy:
“I don’t think our black coworkers are people, they don’t have souls.”
“I’m eastern orthodox but only online, I can’t go to the orthodox churches here because they’re full of slavs.”
“I’m not voting for either party because neither one is going to protect our people.”
“I’m collecting these guns so i can protect myself and my family from all the minorities in the city when society collapses.”
“You should read Hitler, he has good ideas and was censored for being right.”
But this guy is also just weirdly open about being a fascist.
For most people it’s stuff like suddenly becoming very religious but only for Orthodoxy or Catholicism, if they were raised evangelical or irreligious.
Being vocally uncomfortable with cities as a concept.
Talking about how bad crime is these days.
Making remarks about how you “can’t do that anymore” or “you never see that anymore.”
I don’t think any of those are foolproof but they get the going.
“I’m eastern orthodox but only online, I can’t go to the orthodox churches here because they’re full of slavs.”
How did he even end up like that? Eastern Orthodox, but hates the people of the east?
Online I guess? I think he likes that it subdivides by ethnicity (Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox etc.) but he considers himself a German/Aryan.
“License and registration please”
“The reason I pulled you over…”
“Overpopulation” or any mention of not having enough resources is some ass-backward Malthusian mindset that usually indicates someone wants to do a culling of undesirables.
“There isn’t enough room for more people here” when they live in a country that has over 38,000 golf courses and the average private suburban property is several times larger than the house that’s built on it.
This is essentially the entire Scandinavian fash. Typically with some not so subtle eugenism thrown in.
If I hear that kind of take I always go “Yeah exactly billionaires use so many more resources than a normal person that they’re not sustainable and they have to go”. Strangely, so far nobody has agreed
Any time someone talks about how China or India has more pollution than the US, like to tell them that there are more people in those countries, so per-capita the pollution is much lower. And the majority of that pollution is produced by factories that make goods that are sold in the US. So it’s pretty much our pollution, we just outsourced it.
Actually was just meeting a friend of a friend the other day and I was talking about rent prices, and they brought up “the illegals”
Gave em the ol’
As if an “illegal” would ever afford or want to live in their vegan liberal upscale apartment on top of a whole foods and an Orange Theory
Yeah this person literally sits on their local chamber of commerce
they don’t have to say anything, you can tell by their upvotes
Making sure everybody knows just how much you enjoy eating pork.
“Western/European/Judeo-Christian/[nation_adjective] values”
Having a football-related Twitter profile pic.
Supporting zionism.
That neighbourhood is dangerous!
“We have to look out for our own first!” (Proceeds to do fuckall to look out for “their own”)
“We can’t save the entire world”
“There has to be a consequence!” (When talking about how some racialised form of crime is not punished enough)
All forms of flag-shagging
"I’m not a fascist/conservative I’m a liberal :smuglord: "
Way too keen on the Imperium of Man or the Star Wars Empire or “humanity, fuck yeah” stuff in fiction.
Ya, why is that exactly? The “humanity, fuck yeah” stuff I remember loving when I was a young 4chan dweeb, but at some point it started to make me uncomfortable and I’m not sure why. I figured it was just the cringe of that trope being overplayed in reddit writing prompt suggestions, but there definitely could be something else there, related to in-groups or maybe the victimization makes it appeal to fascists. Idk lol.
I saw it on tumblr of all places.
These are just my related thoughts.
RPGs (both computer and tabletop) use “races” in a way that enables “race play” for comfortable middle class white kids. Orks in Shadowrun are “just” black people, but in the setting all the real life beliefs of the white hegemony about black people (more resilient to pain, gruff, high birthrates, bad at maths) are made real in the setting through the statline juking. “Humanity, fuck yeah” presents a safe, plausibly-deniable, way of being racist.
“Humanity, fuck yeah” also allows a racist to say “Oh, no, I love all races of humanity. Captain Anderson is black in Mass Effect!” while still engaging in exactly the same behaviours. Their eagerness to lean into the fantastical is a way of evading voicing any of their actual beliefs about their own position in white society.
It also reflects the fascist belief that some people are just born for greatness. Obviously, for the fascist, this is about the nation and local industrialists, but “Humanity, fuck yeah” leans into this belief without stating anything about particular groups of humans. Being part of the special noble ones (through birth) that will save humanity/everyone (through shedding empathy and “woke nonsense”, and engaging in ruthless realpolitik) is actually a pretty common fantasy/sci-fi trope and fascist rhetoric.
After a while, if enough fashy people lean into it, it becomes a sort of shibboleth, but more naturally formed than the OK symbol.
Not to say that anyone who is into “humanity fuck yeah” stuff or has posted it once is a fascist, it’s just something that I’ve seen crop up a lot and I’d consider a reddish flag.
Guys who refer to women as “females” but never refer to men as “males.” 95% of the time they are reactionary af.
ascribing everything to George Soros and ‘the globalists’, complaining about ‘the lgbt agenda’, warning about the ‘impending fall of western civilization’, complaining about there being too many immigrants and talking about civilizational incompatibility, suggesting shooting at boats with migrants in the Mediterranean, calling liberal politicians communists, trying to redeem Francisco Franco
‘kek’ is a major red flag, but isn’t definite proof. Sometimes idiot liberals add the wrong words to their vocabulary.
Knowing too much and at the same time not enough about Romans is also a big red flag.
Knowing too much and at the same time not enough about Romans is also a big red flag.
We call this the “marble statue avatar valley”
Years ago I had an apartment neighbor who had a kek flag in his window. I talked to him exactly one time in which after telling him I’m a musician he went off about how the music scene in our city sucked because a bunch of people beat the shit out of him in the pit at a hardcore show lmao
Guarantee this idiot was standing dead centre of a karate pit and got bashed or he did something that made people kick the shit out of him. You don’t generally get your ass kicked at hardcore shows unless you’ve done something to earn it, this isn’t the 80s
Similarly, “fren” and “fella” is enough for me to
“Fren” is the big one to watch out for.
The optimist in me says a lot of “fellas” are misguided liberals who’s hearts are in the right place and just need to be talked to.
Fella is news to me, is that more recent?
I think it started with NAFO weirdos so yeah a bit more recent, only 2022.
I just googled it, but this whole time I thought NAFO stood for North Atlantic Fascist Organization lmao
In fairness that’s still pretty much accurate.
Yeah, Fellas was made in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Unfortunately the creator of the meme is a hog, but it should be noted that many well-meaning liberals also adopted the meme and I’ve seen pro-LGBT fellas on more than one occasion.
Kek could just mean they played World of Warcraft. Which is worse.
