      Plaintiff Brown not only lost a $50,000 a year gig as an electrician’s assistant, he also “became estranged from his father, who required him to leave the Brown residence,” the suit records.

      “Get your racist ass the fuck out of my house.” Gotta love it.

      Do these people ever just stop for a moment and ask themselves why people react with such disgust when their views are exposed?

      It’s particularly weird because most (all?) of the racists I’ve known in my life are constantly looking around for other people that share their views by making dog-whistle comments (or explicitly racist comments for that matter). Like, they’re never content to just keep their racism to themselves and are perpetually looking for affirmation from others - if you need that much approval from others, why not adopt views that aren’t so abhorrent?

        They’re confused, because the approval that’s showered on them from 4chan or truth social or wherever is not reflected in reality, where there aren’t (normally) random collections of racists running around.

        A sort of example: I have an old 4wd that sort of has a cult following. I can tell people online that I have a Suzuki Samurai, and there will be people online who know what that is. But in the real world? I have the only one in my city. It’s weird and unusual. There are adults who don’t remember when they were everywhere, there are adults who have never seen one, and of course, there are adults who don’t even care.

        It’s like that with racist assholes. They spend time online thinking that their hobby (being a shithead) is normal and acceptable, then they go out in public, and try to be a racist asshole around their parents, or employers, or the general public, and they forget that their views are not normal.

      Props to the dad for telling him to fuck off. Usually people learn this sort of ugly behavior from their family. This just seems extra sad that homeboy went out and got this way on his own

        Again, downvoter is a shit-heel. Go fuck yourself. I see that you’ve peppered your discontent with being shown how wretched your views are many times over, but I’ll resist spamming this entire thread as a kindness to normal people who find this bullshit repugnant. Suck my fucking dick.

      To some of these people the fact that they are rejected by most people just confirms how s have corrupted modern society and how awesome and special they are for being one of the chosen greats to see through it.

      They mainline confirmation bias as if it is cheap heroin. Everything reinforces their world view.

        Nazism was the worst thing that ever happened to Germany, and these folks want it to happen here too.

      Dad, you just don’t understand how brainwashed you are with contagious wokeness! The white race is being persecuted and is dying. You need to wake up!


      If you really, really think you’re right and everyone else is wrong, then everyone’s disgust is simply misplaced. They’ll come around. By force, if necessary.

      Pick some crime you abhor. Now imagine 90% of people thought it was OK. That’s how they see the world. “There’s a war going on that everyone refuses to see, and the white race is losing it.” They don’t care how abhorrent you think they are because they are on the “right side”. They are the “freedom fighters”.

      I’ve asked my parents a number of times whether or not it ever gives them pause knowing that they vote exactly the same way as literal, flag waving nazis. They never answer. At this point, I think I’m just mistakenly ingratiating them into the false idea that nazi ideology “must not be that bad.”

      Isn’t it funny how nothing is ever enough for these entitled Trump supporters? $107,000 a year and this shithead is still going to risk such great privilege. It’s why we should have never tolerated any of it at all.

      To the one person who downvoted this comment (as of this comment), you’re a wretched little worm.
