Huh, I’m a cis white male, straight and everything, and no one demonizes me because I treat others how I want to be treated. Crazy concept right?

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 63 points 1 year ago

He may not believe it, but it's the SS pin, not the other bits.

Same. Even when I travel abroad.

[-] modestmeme@lemmy.world 67 points 1 year ago

No one who wears a Panzer pin knows what “cis-gender” is…

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

That's like saying demons don't know the Latin phrases that exorcise them. Of course they know the words that cause their vile little souls pain!

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Ranked competitive bigotry.

[-] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 46 points 1 year ago

His argument is basically he wants people to stop telling him he's a bad person?

[-] athairmor@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

And they’re the same people that will turn around and say “fuck your feelings.”

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

You got it down!

Bro is fed up with being cis-gendered 🤨

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Sometimes you can out yourself by accident

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The eggs crack, but that doesn't mean its not rotten I guess?

Link to source please - if this is real, I want to read the whole thing.

The biggest thing to understand here is that these three guys are just the ones we hear about. For every three people who come out and say this stuff, (the quote in the screenshot is actually the least crazy of all the things they say) there are more that are keeping it secret. And for every person keeping their Nazism secret, there are tens more that aren't quite Nazis, but are still very racist and bigoted. As a society we must absolutely cease tolerating these people. Some people have argued it's better to have them be unafraid to express their views so that then we at least know who they are. I wonder that too sometimes, but overall, I think I'd rather they be shamed into shutting up and keeping it to themselves.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

Just incredible. I think these people are too stupid to understand how stupid they are.

In his interview with HuffPost, Fears tried to distance himself a little from the scene around him. He said of Richard Spencer, “I agree with like 75 percent of his ― he’s not ― he’s kind of a scam artist, in my opinion.” Asked if he identified as alt-right, he said: “I try and deny identity politics. That’s why I’m not wearing a white polo and all that stuff.” But he also served up a word salad of white grievance: “Like, OK, for one thing, say, you know, gay marriage, that’s cool, whatever, you know, except — that’s fine, I’m cool with it — well, then, what’s after that? The next step? This whole transgender movement, right? Well, if you don’t accept that, you’re a bigot, this and that. Well, that all goes hand in hand with being a white person.”

Asked about the pin he was wearing during the interview, Fears said “it’s basically just like an SS thing.” Explaining the significance of the pin would require an extensive conversation about World War II, he said. “And it’s my heritage, I’m German.”

[-] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nah they're just Nazis and they're fucking around. I mean like yeah they're really stupid but they know what they're saying here. He says gay marriage is cool except that then you have to accept transgender people too (which isn't even necessarily connected to gay marriage anyways) - but the implied conclusion is that because you shouldn't accept transgender people, then you have no choice but to reject gay marriage as well. So he's talking like he's cool with gay marriage, but in reality he isn't. When he says it's his heritage, he's trying to use the language of the left against them - saying that because this is his cultural heritage we have to accept it. He's just not saying he's a Nazi outright because he doesn't need to, that's what the SS pin is for. The strategy of Neo-Nazis is to create confusion and ambiguity around who is and isn't a Nazi, to disorient their enemy. Same as every other bad thing we see today. It's not about not having concentration camps, it's not about keeping them secret, it's about publicizing it and wrapping the public up in a haze of sophistry and definitional confusion about "what is a concentration camp, really?" Dog-whistling used to be done to operate in secret, now it is done to create plausible deniability and confusion that makes it difficult for others to organize against them.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Very good point - oddly enough I was being too charitable by calling this guy a fucking idiot.

[-] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Love how he tries to defend his racism with his 'heritage' as if that were the only thing Germans are known for

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Man could have chosen to be inspired to be a poet or scientist, some great thinker, instead he's just a Nazi shithead.

I was gonna mention Falco, but he's Austrian... Are the cultural differences large enough that he cannot but counted as part of the "Germanic folk"? There's at least one famous Austrian widely considered German, lol.

I would have initially put money on it being an Onion article, but no, it's sadly real.

[-] False@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

"I'm fed up with being discriminated against for discriminating against others."

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 19 points 1 year ago

I'm starting to wonder if stupidity is part of masculinity.

Throughout life I've heard "men are so stupid" and reasons men are stupid are given, and quite valid. But then I realized I don't do those things, so that's even one less masculine thing I identify with.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Masculinity is what you make of it. Stupidity ain't part of it.

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 year ago

Gender heteronormativity is a toxic mentality that people need to dismantle their association with.

I absolutely love going against the arbitrary cultural definition of "masculinity". It's absolute bullshit that just trains men to be sex obsessed idiots who think like a stereotype of a neanderthal.

[-] Awkwardparticle@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Traits generally viewed as masculine don't fit well with a modern society. Manliness is really lame.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

To care for others over yourself? To strive desperately for a better future? Bravery in the face of certain defeat? To fight (perhaps futility) for the cause you know is right?

"Manliness" is never out of style my friend, it's just the insecure machismo suckers pushing their former of "manliness" that craps is the concept!

No, but the hatefully violent form of stupidity, maybe. 🤷

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, we don't just hate white nazis, we hate black nazis too! ahem Kanye "Slavery was a Choise" West ahem

Seems like the common denominator isn't skin color, maybe just don't be a nazi scum?

[-] Pelicanen@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 year ago

It is very real and I seem to have been wrong in initially believing it was satire.

When Nazis have a bad time I have a good time

[-] Denjin@feddit.uk 12 points 1 year ago

I'm fed up with having to accept literal nazis so join the club mate.

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 11 points 1 year ago

Gotta love the delusion.

Subtext: "I heard about this incel stuff and I think they're onto something: people - esp. women - just hate normal white guys."

normal: just "leaning" right... 💀

(and hot damn, I wonder what these "certain things" are)

[-] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Sounds like what he just described is his entire personality.

Except for probably fetishizing old geriatric pedos, racism, bigotry, misogyny, and for losing wars...

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

How the fuck are people going about espousing an ideology all about rule of the strong that got crushed by the forces of democracy?

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

So become a Nazi???
