stormfront is still running and it's still as nazi as ever

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

reddit is still running and it’s nazier and nazier

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Usually what happens when those pointing out the nazis either get banned or have already left

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

It did get shut down, along with The Daily Stormer, for a while, but they both came back sicko-wistful nazi-punching fash-bash

[-] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago

ah, ok. that's straightforward! thank you

As someone who used to troll Stormfront for fun back in the day

I saw shit on Reddit that makes Stormfront look like Babytown

It speaks for itself when the frontpage is loaded with some version of "Look at this scary black man get shot by a hero cop" or "Loudmouthed cooze gets what's coming to her"

Not to mention the very nature of the site pushes for censoring of "unacceptable information" which allows them to basically control the narrative on whatever issue they want to

Reddit has an insane amount of casual racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, and just about every other shitty, abhorrent form of chudiness you can think of, right in the open and getting heavily upvoted. It's a site that can really distort any decent person's perception of humanity. It can turn the most trusting person into a diehard misanthrope quickly. The site needs to be avoided at all costs. I would prefer it to just not exist at all.

Every single time I go to my local subreddit I end up scream-typing at people for being fashy shits. The latest one was "hundreds of kids are fighting and smoking dope in the halls so they have to show us their student ID to use the restroom or else they can just piss themselves" and like, that's child abuse, and I'm pretty sure it's a human rights violation, and it's just sick, but I'm the asshole because "THEY'RE FIGHTING AND SMOKING THE JAZZ CABBAGE HUNDREDS OF THEM!!! WE HAVE TO HUMILIATE CHILDREN AND MAKE THEM HOLD IT UNTIL THEY GET BLADDER INFECTRIONS YOU ASSHOLE!"

Every local subreddit is full of the most suburban white dad kind of guy you've ever seen

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Local subreddits are the homes of cops, landlords, kulaks, and suburban whiners who have never set foot in the subreddit's namesake.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

It went beyond casual, they had a racist subreddit so racist I refuse to name it.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

"Casual racism implies the existence of competitive racism."

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

Inter right in fighting is competitive racism. “Jamie, pull up the story about the nazi who stabbed his nazi roommates over a racism argument” (no shit, it’s real)

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Wasn't that Atomwaffen and the guy converted to Islam, and his buddies/roommates, also in Atomwaffen, refused to "respect his decision" which lead to him stabbing them?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Sounds right

I forgot about that one. There have been multiple with names that are explicitly racist it seems

r/worldnews?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

The abhorrent shit they casually post about Romani people on there makes me nauseous

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

[-] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago

ask them what they think of us-foreign-policy and you'll find out quick

[-] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago

Woah did you not know about Stormfront before this thread? That's a beautiful rock, stay under it.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

i wish i did :(

[-] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago

Because every liberal on reddit invariably is a fascist when you push them on certain issues. Especially so if they're white, they go extra mask off

Oh that was a guerrilla marketing campaign for the new Battlefront game coming out

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is there actually? I realize the joke but god damn I want a new states battlefield

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

reddit is just stormfront/4chan but less self-aware and less entertaining

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

does it have anything to do with homelander?

I think it's the opposite way. The boys has a literal nazi character called stormfront, named after the nazi forum.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Stormfront was a forum for German socialists back in the day.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Joke answer: reddit used to have a lot of storm chaser extreme weather videos on it, so it got the nickname stormfront because it loved stormy weather

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

they're hitlerites, innit
