It's a wild thing. So the term grew out of the manosphere actually, it was mainly a term for present fathers who steered their boys away from that garbage because they recognized it was only going to hurt them. It kind of grew from there to encapsulate everything they hate. Now, they associate beards with hipsters, dads, LGBT+, nerds who like games, music, books, theatre, and basically any man with a soul and two brain cells to rub together, which is precisely who they see as the enemy because they're so transparently evil.

A beard or long hair for men has always been a sign of rejection of conforming to social authority.

Hair is the best symbol of rebellion as it is difficult to defect from, takes a long time to grow long, and is accessible to everyone. You can recognize a hippie with their tie-dye shirt and reflective sunglasses. They signal to themselves and others that they are opposed to the Vietnam war and the establishment in general. But when they go to the office, for a swim, to the gym, etc. they go back to conforming to the rest of society. The hippie with long hair is at all times signaling their rejection to the establishment and is also signaling that they have been rejecting this for many years. The hippie who only commits to the tie-dye shirt and sunglasses can take it off when under scrutiny and put it back on when convenient.

Hair has no nerve cells. Cutting hair is completely painles. If someone won’t even listen to authority telling them to cut their hair, what makes you think they’ll listen to authority for anything else? Long hair subconsciously scares authority because the legitimacy of said authority is constantly challenged. This is my hypothesis for why being clean shaven and short hair has become a requirement in many militaries, but never a militia. It is the easiest way to get someone to subconsciously be comfortable with submitting to authority.

Some examples of "beardos" who use their hair as a symbol of rebellion:

• Koreans during Japanese Imperialism
• The Khalsa
• Indian saints, regardless of religion
• Hippies in the US
• Brazilian communists during the dictatorship

Jesus. Jesus was a beardo. A real socialist hippie kind of guy in sandals and robes and long hair and a beard.

From my understanding, it's to keep black people from serving. They have to be clean shaven and unfortunately black people tend to get really bad razor bumps which isn't accepted.

Satire has to be believable

WE NEED HOTTIES WITH ROCKHARD ABS AND HARDER BONERS TO SLOBBER OVER 🤤 🇺🇸 🫡

As the old saying goes. A plane crash returning from a furry convention would put the software and cybersecurity industries back decades.

Sadly the economy they enshitified into an affordability crisis are driving recruitment. All the branches are meeting their quotas.

This despite the conditions on the Lincoln. This despite that Hegseth is denying advancement to non-white, non-male non-MAGA officers.

It's a dog whistle. Everyone who's been in the army with an ethnically mixed population knows many black people (think West African mostly) have severe skin issues if they shave fully. I had two guys in my section (so I assume more in the company but I can't recall) with exemptions and, of course, they were black.

It's circling the drain because these are the priorities of the clowns in charge. As desired by the people who elected said clowns.

reminds me of voat. for a while the site was doing very well taking in those tired of Reddit. and it was pretty great. and then Reddit banned the most rascist subreddits and voat was suddenly full of christians. strange coincidence lol
