Shout them down in every space, make them embarrased to think the stupid shit they think.

If we don't embarrass and correct them now we will have to kill them later when they come for our friends and families.

The ADL didn't call Elon's salute a hate symbol, I think we can rule out their expertise at the moment. Also: "Non-racist pagans may also use this symbol, so one should carefully examine it in context rather than assume that a particular use of the symbol is racist."

If a Nazi says the sky is blue, that doesn't make it green

But here's another possible source, from a location that would know.

Witch girls are super rightwing now. A real weird flip.

What the fuck? How? Why? My witch girl comrades, no!

The absolute weirdest flip. The hyper feminism witch girl from my old highschool married an ICE agent. My super Wicca HR manager from two jobs back would do rituals for the police.

I dug into it and it's not a unique experience. That demographic, somehow, went fascist real fast. It's often attributed to "Conspiritualism" or holistic spiritual type peoples predisposition to accept wild conspiracy theories. The Alt Right works by rejecting the mainstream narratives and that aligns with their values. There's a shared element of fetishizing the past and both groups show high recruitment when people feel powerless.

Tldr; There are no harmless fools. If you worship a rock, you will get a block. Ignorance has no place in civil society.

It's similar to the granola-mom to alt-right pipeline. If you're willing to believe things with no evidence, you can be made to believe anything.

I love the witchy girls, but there's a difference between doing a ritual because you know it calms you and helps you think, vs thinking you're actually dispelling demons. The latter are susceptible.

Oh yeah anyone who believes in magic is wackadoo woo, too far gone to help. I thought you meant women who have that style/vibe. I'm a man and I wish I could pull it off, it's cool.

I am referring to them. That demographic is the same one who believes in crystals and has been shifting to the right for years. The Venn Diagram of houses with a used Tarot deck, a Ouiji Board, and a MAGA hat and it's almost a circle.

There's some alt girls that wear black and you might be confusing the two. You can pull an alt look off. It's comically easy.

Well I'm in my 40s but I will say that I had a mohawk held up with wood glue and spraypaint in my 20s. After that look I went with really shitty white boy dreads. Then I went bald!

Ageing punks and balding. Name a more iconic duo. Municipal Waste shows just look like seas of pink potatoes bobbing up and down.

Edit: Probably Thrash Metal and balding. LOL

Do you like hip hop at all? Run the Jewels are touring with Wu-Tang soon. My buddy said tix were only 60.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You tell your buddy to tell me where he's getting his tickets.

Warlock-core. Wish I could do it too

That is a weird one. Did they get swarmed by people looking for alternative medicine or something?
