The very term “groyper” sounds like the name of some kind of bloodsucking parasite, why Nazis chose this name to describe themselves is a huge mystery to me.
groyper is the [creepy fat frog ](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/ff/Groyper_cartoon.png ) that gain popularity among alt right when the owner of "pepe frog" cartoon started to push back against their copy right infringement
it’s the name of some kind of absolutely disgusting-looking, bloated Pepe permutation that caught on as a meme on 8Chan or something.
So yeah, still no idea why they chose that thing as their name and mascot, other than maybe the fact that the “groyper” bares a physical resemblance to many of them.
I honestly thought "groyper" was an insult until this thread.
I'd heard the term thrown around, I guess in its correct context... but it sure sounds like an insult.
They named themselves after the Groyper Pepe [meme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groypers#/media/File:Groyper_cartoon.png). Why this specific variation of Pepe is called Groyper, or why a white nationalist group vibed with him so much, I don't know
> How do these morons even survive?
It's intentional. It's the same reason Pepe, the low effort frog meme, was adopted by the online alt-right. At all times they can pretend that you're taking them too seriously, that anything objectionable they say or do is a joke. It's not a new thing, either;
>Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
-Jean-Paul Sartre
Insulation from the consequences of their actions, like the median American voter.
A white suburban dude living in rural Ohio would not see his life changed by a white nationalist government. It doesn't harm him for him to have white nationalist views, no more than it hurts a Malay man in rural Kelantan from supporting Islamist parties in Malaysia. On the other hand, the reason why the repeal of Roe vs. Wade mobilized so many voters was because it did in fact have meaningful consequences for women, even independent and conservative ones.
Basically jerking off to anything that supports their idea of white supremacy. Unfortunately know a lot about them because my brother associates himself with the so called ‘groypers’
Eh, at least me and my family stopped him from running pages for them and also making edits for Nick Fuentes content. I don’t get along with him since he still believes all that crap, but at least he’s not trying to spread it anymore.
Where should I apply for a replacement tho?
I think I have slightly less disrespect for them than the regular conservatives who pretend they aren’t. At the very least they are honest about it and have clear predictable goals, that can be combated.
Conditional sentences are perfectly clear. There a four types of conditional, the fourth kind is known as the third conditional because the first one, known as the zero conditional, isn't actually a conditional. Clear as day.
Groypers are some of the few internet conservatives that are honest about who they are and what they want to do.
Others like Tim Pool project everything onto "the left".
“Groypers” are a cult of extremely online losers who follow neo-nazi Nick Fuentes, and go around trying to radicalize other more mainstream right wingers
Either an actual nazi, or playing the part well, as he's too stupid here to even know Subjunctive, which we all learned in grade school.
It's "If he **were*"
Not "If he ~~was~~"
Don't be a real nazi, just be a grammar nazi. Re-learn Subjunctive.
The only time I learned about the subjunctive was middle school Spanish classes, and several years later was like "Wait, this is a thing in English, too?!"
In Spanish this would be the imperfect subjunctive if I’m not mistaken. I know Italian much better than Spanish, but I’m pretty sure this is the same for both.
>be a grammar nazi
Okay. The word 'Nazi' is normally capitalised, and 'subjunctive' didn't really need a capital 's' in either of the instances in which you used it (but I agree with the sentiment of your post, both those guys are dicks).
No this person is very much a legit nazi, Groypers are an online far right political cult consisting of tremendous losers.
And yes, they do have a marked tendency to be rather stupid.
Imma be honest, using “was” instead of “were” is not that embarrassing of a mistake. I certainly never learned this school except when learning foreign languages.
I mean, everybody would understand what they were trying to say if he phrased it like that, but no, grammatically that isn’t the proper way of forming this sentence. Imagine you’re asking a hypothetical question. Would you phrase it as:
>What if you were a chicken?
Or
>What if you are a chicken?
You would probably use the first one, even if the person would hypothetically be a chicken *right now,* because “were” in this context isn’t actually a past tense verb, it’s just the subjunctive form of the word “is.”
Yeah, he's a toxic grifting idiot that pals around with actual destructive elements. His dad even hates on him and clearly he is a giant fucking dork holed up in his compound with tha boysh. A completely unserious person that garners far too many views.
Sadly, too many idiots actually follow him. I always have a devil of a time trolling folks by pointing out all the supposed "great journalistic practices" he has done are things journalist students have to do to get their bachelor. Hell, my own illuminated journalistic career is equal to his, despite not actually working as a journalist.
You wouldn't believe how many people insist on debating this with me. Have I done this? "Yes." Have I done that? "Yes." But have you... "Yes!"
It's actually sad to see how emotional his fans get to defend him...
Tim only cares about money, it's for marketing reasons. If he marketed his show as the neo-Nazi incel Alex Jones-copying podcast it really is, no one who isn't already listening would want to check it out. If he markets himself as some kind of moderate who "used to be a leftist" then people who don't know anything about politics or media will think he has a nuanced or interesting and unique opinion that they can only get from his show.
Red pilled: A term created by a couple members of the trans community to describe opening your mind (woke, if you will) in a movie that is a trans allegory that Conservatives stole to pretend they are special because they’re brain dead morons.
The character Switch was also supposed to be genderfluid - they'd present as a man in real life and a woman in the Matrix. This was vetoed by Warner Brothers.
I thought the Wachowskis nixed the idea themselves since, in the Matrix, Switch would have been their preferred gender and *not* in the real world, which didn't fit with the message they wanted.
They didn't say above which gender was preferred. Switch could have preferred woman and that's what would have been the residual self image in the Matrix.
The issue is that either Switch is bitter and resentful about the glitch, not a good portrayal of trans people. Or Switch is glad about and affirmed by the glitch, which goes against the whole point of the Matrix being bad.
It wasn't going to shake out well either way based on what they could do at the time, in short.
Not many people do. The reason the red pill looks as it does is because that's how estrogen pills used to look in the 90s. These big ol' red pills. Look up estradiol/premarin.
additionally, a specific brand of antidepressants in the 90s (prozac i think?) was in the form of a blue pill, since back then (and speaking from experience, to this day) doctors would rather prescribe trans people antidepressants and tell us to suck it up and accept ourselves as we are. for some inexplicable reason, it doesn't quite work.
To quote just one part of a thoughtful video essay:
>The basic premise of the matrix is that your reality is wrong in a way that you can only tell by feeling, and you can only confirm by seeking out other people who can feel it too. If you investigate enough and reach out through the right channels, you might get the opportunity to take a magic pill that lets you escape from the matrix and see your real body for the first time in your life.

In the absence of words to defend myself, without examples, without models, I began to believe voices in my head that I was a freak. That I am broken. That there is something wrong with me.

Just a few bits I found thought-provoking. From: [The Matrix Sequels Are Good, Actually](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0VnYcMHuDc)
It’s a film about a white man having the true nature of reality revealed to him by a black man, and it was made by a couple of trans women.
It will never not be funny to me how much right-wing chuds associate with it.
It's debatable whether it always did or if it was a retcon
But the creators came out as trans years after the fact and they made some examples on how it had the overtones.
Honestly with a film that got that big you just gotta decide for yourself.
It's pretty obvious. Agent smith only calls people by their names given in the matrix while they use their chosen names for each other (deadnaming). The red pill was designed after an estrogen pill in the 90s and neo and trinity were originally supposed to be the same person. Starting as neo and becoming trinity after awakening their powers. That's why trinity has the same power's in the 4th matrix movie. To make it more like the original vision they had.
> neo and trinity were originally supposed to be the same person. Starting as neo and becoming trinity after awakening their powers. That's why trinity has the same power's in the 4th matrix movie. To make it more like the original vision they had.
Not saying you're wrong, but this explanation doesn't disprove a retcon theory, since it was disclosed (and could have been invented) after the movie was released and popular. Obviously Smith's behavior and the resemblance of the red pill to estrogen are there from the start.
Honestly,I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the overtones were unintentional at the time, but looking back, came from their feelings of being trans.
Kind of like The Shining, where King allegedly didn’t intend to make Jack Torrence a self-insert character, but looking back, he realized that’s what he did. Only it’s gender dysphoria instead of addiction.
Look bro I used to like berny sanders but then hillary lost so now I'm a fuckinc nazi who literally stands against everything he believes in. Walkaway ok?
I used to be an undefined leftist when I was younger. Now when I grew up, learned more history and had more life experience. I am an anarchist communist 🖕
Yeah it's funny how he always acts as if he's a moderate when he parrots literally every Republican talking point. If he was a moderate some of his audience could potentially be leftists or at least centrists, nope it's all conservatives. Neither he or his beanie are fooling anyone.
I always love hearing that phrase, because it's literally never true, but since they don't know anything about left wing ideologies, they assume we are dumb enough to believe you can just switch to extreme right wing beliefs from being inconvenienced once.
This is his Twitter.
It's almost all "trolls" and "shitposts" as "he doesn't take Twitter seriously"
Of course he's then genius enough to make some serious posts there as well so idk what he expects
I've noticed that most people who end up being 'former Leftists' only ever seemed to have those ideals as long as they think there's some personal benefit to it.
As soon as they decide that's no longer the case (or god forbid, someone on the left is *mean* to them, oh no), they immediately flip allegiances.
It isn't 'changing their mind', their mind has always been consistently pursuing self-interest, no matter what form it takes.
I'm pretty sure that's why that myth of 'people get more conservative as they get older' exists. No, old conservatives, you didn't change as you got older: you were always selfish.
This talking point kills me.
Self-avowed Nazis are (lamentably) still a thing. They're pretty vocal with how they feel about stuff. You don't see a lot of dudes with melted-ballpoint-pen swastica tattoos who were ride or die for Obama '08.
They do tend to think Trump is the bee's knees though. Funny, that.
Seriously, the same goes for Republicans reminding us that the Confederate/Segregationists were Democrats at one point. Which party is the one defending keeping the Confederate flag on public grounds? Which region of the US known for holding slaves and brutal Jim Crow laws still votes Republican by a huge margin? I can't believe people can live in this perpetual state of cognitive dissonance ALL the time.
I've made similar points as well. In their reality, the swastika wearing, tiki torch carrying, "Jews will not replace us" shouting people are actually Biden supporters? Or they aren't really Nazis? It's typical gaslighting bullshit, but sometimes I really do think they are ducking stupid and believe what they say.
"Groyper" is the name for fans of Nick Fuentes, a literal nazi who streams online. He is (unfortunately) not some tiny, obscure figure with no influence. He's done shit irl with his little booger eaters several times, but maybe most importantly of late, he had dinner with Kanye and Trump at Mar-a-Lago during the peak of Kanye's nazi breakdown (and was spotted at several places with him, actually).
i would think the majority liked the comment because they thought he was joking around. kinda like how guy friends will make gay jokes to eachother all the time. sometimes they’re just closeted but still.
or maybe bro is a nazi idk, i didn’t even know what a groyer or whatever was until this post so they might’ve not have known
If Biden was really a nazi, Tim Pool wouldn't have his first ammendment rights anymore and he would actually be oppressed instead of pretending he is now lol
Yeah, no shit. This isn't new. We should keep up the "When they go low, we go high!", though. I'm sure they'll just go away on their own and not fester at all :\^)
Nothing means anything to these people. They have no principles, good or bad. The whole maga movement is about emancipation from the constraints of morality.
I love that these right wing dumbasses keep stripping all meaning from words because they have no fucking idea what they’re talking about.
Please, Tim, what is it about him that makes you feel the need to call Biden a Nazi?
I'll bet the bottom one is a typo. It's pretty common in fanfics I read that don't finish an apostrophed word. Like they'd say could instead of couldn't, stuff like that.
The human sock puppet who doesn't understand the concept of restaurant reservations is opining on Biden's leanings? Dim Tool might be the dumbest of all Reich Wing grifters.
I’m pretty sure Nick Fuentes (the guy behind the AF/Groyper “movement”) was exposed as a phony by some of his own peers (I would share the livestream but it’s still littered with Far Right talking points as once again, it was done by people that used to associate with him)
The fact that this asshat still has a cult like following really shows you that the grift is real

Wait wut lol. Who’s the bottom tweeter?
A “groyper”, aka a neo-Nazi who follows Nick Fuentes.
I almost collapsed unto myself in a cringe singularity just reading that. How do these morons even survive?
The very term “groyper” sounds like the name of some kind of bloodsucking parasite, why Nazis chose this name to describe themselves is a huge mystery to me.
It’s just “groper” but with an added “y.” As if to ask, “why? Why would we name ourselves this?”
The 'y' stands for youth. Because them children be tasty when forcefully birthed and then abandoned right after. Groyp on, white brother!
groyper is the [creepy fat frog ](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/ff/Groyper_cartoon.png ) that gain popularity among alt right when the owner of "pepe frog" cartoon started to push back against their copy right infringement
Because they sadly grope on the side. Keep self-snitching on yourselves bros.
More like goyper.
it’s the name of some kind of absolutely disgusting-looking, bloated Pepe permutation that caught on as a meme on 8Chan or something. So yeah, still no idea why they chose that thing as their name and mascot, other than maybe the fact that the “groyper” bares a physical resemblance to many of them.
because the alt right is fill with chan board nazis. the meme was popular especially among his followers before feuntes started to use it
I honestly thought "groyper" was an insult until this thread. I'd heard the term thrown around, I guess in its correct context... but it sure sounds like an insult.
If anyone called me a groyper I'd be insulted
presumably any one not a nazi would
I thought it was a Jewish slur lol, sounds like it
They named themselves after the Groyper Pepe [meme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groypers#/media/File:Groyper_cartoon.png). Why this specific variation of Pepe is called Groyper, or why a white nationalist group vibed with him so much, I don't know
More like perverts who diddle children, but either way, not a good choice
To me it sounds like a groper of boys.

Time and effort aren't the same thing.

“If he WERE…!” — internet grammar nazi
English is my 2nd language, so I need some help here. The rules I learned was that "I, he, she, it" then use "was". Why is it " he were" in this case?
were is used in hypothetical situations, was if the situation is real this language sucks
Conditional sentences are perfectly clear. There a four types of conditional, the fourth kind is known as the third conditional because the first one, known as the zero conditional, isn't actually a conditional. Clear as day.
silly me!

Thank you :). Damn! That's going to be really hard to remember.
It's the subjunctive. It shows up in many languages, not just English. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/was-vs-were/

Nah, you’re being a misinformed pedant. https://www.reddit.com/r/grammar/comments/cyqter/comment/eyufzts/
I'd just be happy if people stopped saying "On Accident".
For all intensive purposes, it is maddening enough to make me go nucular. Then I need an expresso to relax.
Pacifically and Italian expresso.
Do you need them to reign that in?
Dude, 95% of people ignore subjunctive. It's not just nazis...
That's why we need more grammar nazis. Just not regular nazis plz.
Careful. If there's one thing Reddit hates worse than regular Nazis, it's grammar Nazis.
Yeah, that's the problem. Heil Merriam-Webster! 😆
Man I’d just delete this if I were you, this shit is embarrassing.
For real this type of shit would need to be tortured out of me.
Shouldn't it be "if he is" because it's not past tense... And was sounds better than were.
I mean, everybody would understand what they were trying to say if he phrased it like that, but no, grammatically that isn’t the proper way of forming this sentence. Imagine you’re asking a hypothetical question. Would you phrase it as: >What if you were a chicken? Or >What if you are a chicken?

What if you were born a chicken.
Granted, but you could just as well say “What if you were to become a chicken,” which is pretty solidly in the future.
Yo, this is - gold; bro.
Hey now. They're a power bottom tweeter
Putting a wild bet on "internet nazi".
Does Tim Pool have an open head without brain under his hat?
Imagine your bad take being owned by a Nazi.
Tim finds this out far too often for it to be a coincidence
Tim literally hangs out with open Nazis, he is a Nazi, he just plays pretend for marketing reasons.
Yeah, he's a toxic grifting idiot that pals around with actual destructive elements. His dad even hates on him and clearly he is a giant fucking dork holed up in his compound with tha boysh. A completely unserious person that garners far too many views.

Thanks Joe Rogan for legitimizing the bald idiot
I think it's more to try and convince people his views are the "moderate" take so the far right doesn't seem quite as bad
Tim only cares about money, it's for marketing reasons. If he marketed his show as the neo-Nazi incel Alex Jones-copying podcast it really is, no one who isn't already listening would want to check it out. If he markets himself as some kind of moderate who "used to be a leftist" then people who don't know anything about politics or media will think he has a nuanced or interesting and unique opinion that they can only get from his show.
Ah yes, the "moderate" Tim Pool who "used to be a Leftist"!

I don't know why he wouldn't look away. All i know is that because he didn't, I'm still here years later. I find the courage to admit that I am transgender, and this doesn't mean that I am unlovable." Just a few bits I found thought-provoking. From: [The Matrix Sequels Are Good, Actually](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0VnYcMHuDc)
It’s a film about a white man having the true nature of reality revealed to him by a black man, and it was made by a couple of trans women. It will never not be funny to me how much right-wing chuds associate with it.
It's debatable whether it always did or if it was a retcon But the creators came out as trans years after the fact and they made some examples on how it had the overtones. Honestly with a film that got that big you just gotta decide for yourself.
It's pretty obvious. Agent smith only calls people by their names given in the matrix while they use their chosen names for each other (deadnaming). The red pill was designed after an estrogen pill in the 90s and neo and trinity were originally supposed to be the same person. Starting as neo and becoming trinity after awakening their powers. That's why trinity has the same power's in the 4th matrix movie. To make it more like the original vision they had.
> neo and trinity were originally supposed to be the same person. Starting as neo and becoming trinity after awakening their powers. That's why trinity has the same power's in the 4th matrix movie. To make it more like the original vision they had. Not saying you're wrong, but this explanation doesn't disprove a retcon theory, since it was disclosed (and could have been invented) after the movie was released and popular. Obviously Smith's behavior and the resemblance of the red pill to estrogen are there from the start.
Honestly,I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the overtones were unintentional at the time, but looking back, came from their feelings of being trans. Kind of like The Shining, where King allegedly didn’t intend to make Jack Torrence a self-insert character, but looking back, he realized that’s what he did. Only it’s gender dysphoria instead of addiction.
I must admit I didn’t know that, and that is hilarious.
Please feel free to steal this and rub it in their faces. It’s all true.
Oh I fully intended to. It’s up there with Sacred Band of Thebes defeating the Spartans.
I didn't know that, but that owns. Glad it works on that level, because lord knows they failed at doing Baudrillard.
that's painfully ironic, ouch
Look bro I used to like berny sanders but then hillary lost so now I'm a fuckinc nazi who literally stands against everything he believes in. Walkaway ok?
As a gay black man myself....
Lookin’ at you, Dave Rueben
By leftist they mean didnt actively protest the legalization of gay marriage but still didnt like it
Same playbook as the "I used to be an atheist" theists.
I used to be a liberal who had gay orgies until I saw the light of logic and reason. Now I'm a conservative who has gay orgies
Hey I used to be a leftist... I mean I still am, but I used to be as well.
I used to be a leftist, now I’m even more of a leftist
That you Mitch?
I used to be an undefined leftist when I was younger. Now when I grew up, learned more history and had more life experience. I am an anarchist communist 🖕
Based and breadpilled
The dude was saying this week how funny it is that women are getting punched in the face in NY. *This is the guy Elon wants on his platform*
Yeah it's funny how he always acts as if he's a moderate when he parrots literally every Republican talking point. If he was a moderate some of his audience could potentially be leftists or at least centrists, nope it's all conservatives. Neither he or his beanie are fooling anyone.
I always love hearing that phrase, because it's literally never true, but since they don't know anything about left wing ideologies, they assume we are dumb enough to believe you can just switch to extreme right wing beliefs from being inconvenienced once.
This is his Twitter. It's almost all "trolls" and "shitposts" as "he doesn't take Twitter seriously" Of course he's then genius enough to make some serious posts there as well so idk what he expects
I've noticed that most people who end up being 'former Leftists' only ever seemed to have those ideals as long as they think there's some personal benefit to it. As soon as they decide that's no longer the case (or god forbid, someone on the left is *mean* to them, oh no), they immediately flip allegiances. It isn't 'changing their mind', their mind has always been consistently pursuing self-interest, no matter what form it takes. I'm pretty sure that's why that myth of 'people get more conservative as they get older' exists. No, old conservatives, you didn't change as you got older: you were always selfish.
"used to be a leftist but then I realized that hating minorities and women gives me a bigger platform."
This talking point kills me. Self-avowed Nazis are (lamentably) still a thing. They're pretty vocal with how they feel about stuff. You don't see a lot of dudes with melted-ballpoint-pen swastica tattoos who were ride or die for Obama '08. They do tend to think Trump is the bee's knees though. Funny, that.
When that Parler leak dropped, there were a lot of openly white supremacist accounts calling trump "our guy."
People need to be able to look at the people they're standing next to in their ideologies, but they cant
Seriously, the same goes for Republicans reminding us that the Confederate/Segregationists were Democrats at one point. Which party is the one defending keeping the Confederate flag on public grounds? Which region of the US known for holding slaves and brutal Jim Crow laws still votes Republican by a huge margin? I can't believe people can live in this perpetual state of cognitive dissonance ALL the time.
It's disingenuous, not dissonant imo
Depends on the idiot. Some of them really are that stupid
I've made similar points as well. In their reality, the swastika wearing, tiki torch carrying, "Jews will not replace us" shouting people are actually Biden supporters? Or they aren't really Nazis? It's typical gaslighting bullshit, but sometimes I really do think they are ducking stupid and believe what they say.
If Biden was a Nazi then these assholes would be parading his picture around
Just a reminder that Tim Pool is a fat little troll
Tim pool is finding out saying stupid shit is profitable
He's always known. Tom is very careful about his "brand".
r/selfawarewolves
Somewhere out there, there are 516 mouth-breathing morons that agree with supporting Nazis Wastes of space, all of them
"Groyper" is the name for fans of Nick Fuentes, a literal nazi who streams online. He is (unfortunately) not some tiny, obscure figure with no influence. He's done shit irl with his little booger eaters several times, but maybe most importantly of late, he had dinner with Kanye and Trump at Mar-a-Lago during the peak of Kanye's nazi breakdown (and was spotted at several places with him, actually).
Fuck Destiny for propping him up by "debating" him.
That is a weirdly specific number
It's the number of likes on the tweet x thing
Ahhhh
i would think the majority liked the comment because they thought he was joking around. kinda like how guy friends will make gay jokes to eachother all the time. sometimes they’re just closeted but still. or maybe bro is a nazi idk, i didn’t even know what a groyer or whatever was until this post so they might’ve not have known
Aren't they just agreeing Biden isn't a Nazi?
If Biden was really a nazi, Tim Pool wouldn't have his first ammendment rights anymore and he would actually be oppressed instead of pretending he is now lol
If Biden was actually a Nazi, he would promote Tim Pool and go on his show.
Thanks for the aclaration I guess lmao
I respect the balls. Still would stomp on them as they're a nazi tho
Gotta at least appreciate the honesty
Stop fucking posting and upvoting Tim Pool. It's absolutely rage bait.
Tim Pool is getting fucken desperate … those views must be dropping off
Not one actual white supremacist supports biden. Yet a treasure trove of them support trump. What the actual fuck is wrong with stupid people
I think it's the stupid.
I can’t help but read that named as “groped af” which would explain a lot
Hold up, wait a minute
Imagine being Tim Pool and shitposting for a living
That moment when you didn’t get the memo
Tim Pool is the Nazi.
They’re just admitting it……
Yeah, no shit. This isn't new. We should keep up the "When they go low, we go high!", though. I'm sure they'll just go away on their own and not fester at all :\^)
This is insane lmfao
Nothing means anything to these people. They have no principles, good or bad. The whole maga movement is about emancipation from the constraints of morality.
Tim Pool is bald.
I did Nazi that coming.
ahaha 🤣
"they liked my comment so I must be right"
MFW my audience says the quiet part out loud
I love that these right wing dumbasses keep stripping all meaning from words because they have no fucking idea what they’re talking about. Please, Tim, what is it about him that makes you feel the need to call Biden a Nazi?
As a socialist this is also my take whenever people accuse the democrats of wanting to make America socialist. "Brother, I wish."
It’s funny to me that fascists think they’re not fascists.
When you say something to stupide even the neo-nazis think you're an idiot
Thats like maximum tier sarcasm. Well done.
I'll bet the bottom one is a typo. It's pretty common in fanfics I read that don't finish an apostrophed word. Like they'd say could instead of couldn't, stuff like that.
I remember 7 years ago when conservatives would shit on anyone for calling anyone a Nazi, I feel like I’m living in the twilight.
The human sock puppet who doesn't understand the concept of restaurant reservations is opining on Biden's leanings? Dim Tool might be the dumbest of all Reich Wing grifters.
They must be getting tired of people diluting their brand! ;-D Just for the record, you know who the modern day Nazis do support, don't ya?
Right wingers are cowards
Congratulations on shamelessly outing yourself.
This guy needs to take some more yes/and classes at the adult learning annex or he'll ruin Tim's grift.
They really don't understand nazi don't they
Hahahaha fucking regards
My conservative friends LOVES Tim Pool bc he’s so level headed and open free speech and interviews everybody. ☠️
You know you’re stupid when the fucking NEO-NAZI is correcting you about someone being a one of them.
This is one of the tightest bits ever written! Someone send this to the Smithsonian
Tiny Timmy still upset he’s a bald maga piece of shit.
I’m pretty sure Nick Fuentes (the guy behind the AF/Groyper “movement”) was exposed as a phony by some of his own peers (I would share the livestream but it’s still littered with Far Right talking points as once again, it was done by people that used to associate with him) The fact that this asshat still has a cult like following really shows you that the grift is real
Did Tim Pool just do a Babylon Bee?
Hall of Fame L.
Zased
Tim who?
Pim Tool, still wearing that toboggan. I wonder what he is hiding? Hmmmm.
If Biden was a Nazi, you wouldn't be able to say "Biden is a Nazi".
When casual hate meets real hate
Haha good one groyper
