NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.

They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.


I’d love to say this surprises me, but it does not in the slightest.

    A whole new generation of shitheels coming down the pipe. Would be a shame if someone connected all their hate speech to them on the Internet so all future employers, friends, and romantic interests can know about their true colors.

        For sure, but we need this preserved and served up for future generations. A single article will disappear in the sea of information. We need this information searchable and permanently hosted on the web for all to see.

      That’s just it though. They hide the worst parts of their beliefs until they are in their safe space. In public they obfuscate their true beliefs with pandering and cliche language. Prior to these revelations I’m sure they’d vehemently deny being racist. Even after this release they’d still probably try to deny it.

    Lot of leftists racists on Lemmy along with right wing. I was just banned from memes because I told a Tankie that I lived under communism and it sucked. He then denied that I lived under communism or that I was even brown. I then told him I also hate capitalism for commiting genocide on my people, but the communists weren’t much better to the indigenous. He then told me I was again lying and that communists wouldn’t hurt natives.

    I called him out on the racist view so I got banned

    NYS Assembly benefits administrator here. I can’t wait to process the termination paperwork for Peter Giunta. It will be the highlight of my work week.

    Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”

      If I had to choose between a group who made fun of death of someone because of his extremely bigoted, sexists and racist views vs a group of people who make fun of sending people at large to gas chambers because of their race, I think the choice is clear. Next time come with a better “what about”.

        None of them. OP is projecting, misinformed, suffering psychosis, or all three. Democratic politicians said that violence is wrong, and that they mourn for Charlie’s family.

        OP might be confusing reality with their own head canon, and should seriously consider going to a psychiatrist.

      Another fuck nut neo-Nazi. The vast majority agreed it was wrong the racist bag of shit croaked. However he wanted sacrifices for his interpretation of 2A to continue and became part of his wish. As you know, Heinrich Himmler and Joseph Goebbels had families too.

      I’m afraid it would be too difficult to explain to you the difference between being a bigoted fascist, and “celebrating” the death of a bigoted fascist.

      Not difficult for complexity (it’s really pretty simple), but difficult like explaining Norway to a dog.

    It’s amazing to me that there are genuinely this many white nationalists/nazis irl. I honestly had no clue people were this awful and prevalent.

    I’ve never seen people more openly willing to hate other humans based on race, gender or sex.

    Why do we get to exist as a species if we are this toxic to ourselves?

            You’re thinking “species”. And even then it isn’t cut and dry.

            And it might be that they’re sometimes able to have offspring, but the offspring is sterile.

            I am not a biologist though, and could be wrong.

          Exactly - just because a thing is a social construct, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or that it somehow doesn’t affect people in real ways.

          There is only one race: the human race.

          Everything else are variations.

          (Not counting other species of course)

          People end up hating/rationalizing people being bad because they believe they believe people are different races.

        Not necessarily, I dont wanna be that guy but I was joining in with the edgy racist shite on 4chan about 15 years ago because I thought it was all humour. Its possible a lot of these are just edgy teens thinking its all japes. I mean if its not, fuck them right off, but there’s still hope that theres not as many truly awful people as might seem.

        I gave up on 4chan when I started realising it looked like I was the only one laughing.

          See, the thing is, though, this stuff is poison. It’s locker room bs at first, but, fundamentally it’s tribalism and deviancy division between in-groups and out-groups.

          The more you dig and learn about psychology, sociology, and history, the more you ☹️ because you realize… It’s us.

          My partner and I were just talking about deviancy theory earlier today, and were discussing whether or not technology has moved too fast. Yes = our brains are lizards and the internet is amplifying our current weaknesses as a species. No = ?

          I thought that at some point, but after encountering many real people in my life (doing all the human things, like breathing, eating, walking, sleeping, not an alien at all) I don’t anymore. It doesn’t fucking matter which consistent ethos a person has, all of them are fundamentally inconsistent due to human psychology or conflicts with the complexities of reality. And some of those suck donkey balls. Like National Socialism.

            It’s a quote, from a very popular movie.

            And nihilism is not healthy, it sounds like you should talk to a professional, but all they’re going to tell you is to get a hobby. Check out the library, lots of free/cheap starter hobbies.

      Indeed. If you’re a fan of Hitler, follow his example and take yourself out. Save the rest of us the bullet.
