    I can't believe the lady just outright said she always wanted someone to break into her house so she could kill them. This is the culture that produces mass shooters so I guess it makes sense.

    Also, some of these are like, very eroticized, the lady in blue is obviously sexing it up, and there is a real homoerotic element to the camp cowboy one :zizek-preference:

      The psychosexual nature of fascism has always been fascinating to me. These people literally do get off on the thought of killing someone, and apparently actually killing someone can give you an intense "blood lust" where you feel horny af. Then there is their cult of the strong and pure and all that jazz. For such an ugly ideology it's honestly pretty horny. :spray-bottle: :frothingfash:

      ps: can anyone recommend some books on this because I'd like to know more

      There's this from ur-fascism: "12. Since both permanent war and heroism are difficult games to play, the Ur-Fascist transfers his will to power to sexual matters. This is the origin of machismo (which implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality). Since even sex is a difficult game to play, the Ur- Fascist hero tends to play with weapons – doing so becomes an ersatz phallic exercise "

        I can't for the life of me track down an article (series of articles?) I saw years ago that I'm pretty sure was about elements of homoeroticism in fascist propaganda. However, (and speaking of phalluses) during my search I did come across this paper, or at least the abstract for it:

        German phalluses for Latvian men: Nazi war propaganda in occupied Latvia

        Occupation of Nazi Germany took place in the territory of Latvia from the summer of 1941 to the fall of 1944 (in Western part till the Germany's capitulation in spring of 1945). German Nazi ideology was supported by a particular visual imagery that aspired to depict Aryan men as strong, masculine and militant males, often naked or half naked. Analyzing these male images taking into account also ones from the periodicals of the last years of independent Latvia and from the year of Soviet occupation (1940-41), a clear distinction can be made. Unlike Latvian or Soviet shy and discrete male images whose appearance was usually aligned with the seasons (sunbathing or swimming in summer) or profession (athletes, artist models), images, cultivated by Nazi (self-confident display of full frontal nudity in sculpture; strong presence of male nakedness in war reporting, promotion of healthy lifestile and other genres of photography) were a new visual experience for Latvian people. As some part of the former research work shows, the main addressee of this imagery were local male audience who had to be make certain of the superiority and inevitable victory of German race even in the period when first obituaries of German officers appeared in newspapers. This aesthetics of hypermasculinity comes hand in hand with issues of homosociality and homoeroticism that is not always as separated as Nazi ideologists probably imagined, notably because association of Nazi and homosexuality was quite common already in Latvian Social-democrat newspapers in early thirties.

      If I'm understanding this correctly, this video is framing them holding another person captive for a breaking and entering before they intend to execute them. Reminds me of the Byron David Smith case.

          It was a pretty high profile case here in Minnesota. Iirc a lot of folks were trying to cite castle doctrine shit till the evidence came out that he had essentially premeditated the encounter.

    Reminder that it's super easy to outrun these people if you do cardio :arm-L: :meow-shining: :solidarity: :meow-shining: :arm-R:

    It's almost like they buy guns to compensate for their own shortcomings :curious-marx:

    My uncle does daily Facebook rants about how many antifa he's going to kill if they ever set foot on his front lawn. He lives on a dirt road 2 miles away from his closest neighbor in a rural town of less than 300 people.

      Things aren't going well for them but they've been fed meritocracy bootstraps shit their whole lives and don't have a framework to understand the contradictions, so they need to invent someone or something to blame that's keeping them from self-fulfillment

    what kind of weak baby fantasizes about shooting people with guns during a home invasion? in my own erotically-charged and violent fantasies, i pull apart their screaming faces like play-doh, with my bare hands, before cramming chunks into my mouth, with it's endless rows of metallic razor teeth, spinning like saws as a chorus of angels erupts from my throat.

    man, i'm so glad the government banned weed so i could experiment with innovative legal alternatives bath salts and spice.

    100%. This attitude has been pervasive in the gun community as long as I---and most of the people in these videos---have been alive. Totally unsurprising to see people acting all cute about killing, but it is disgusting nevertheless!

      I don't know if the folks running around lionizing Mao, Fidel, and Ho Chi Mein while posting guillotines and quipping about Protracted People's War really get to judge chuds indulging in violent fantasies.

      But posting this shit to TikTok is extremely cringe. Even LARPers have more shame.

        I think there's a material difference between fantasising about killing oppressors and those who support oppression, versus fantasizing about killing a poor dude because he tried to steal your $300 roku TV.

          There is a generic desire to identify and defeat "the enemy".

          Who you identify as "the enemy" says a lot about your motivations and beliefs. But the power fantasy of beating that enemy comes from the same place.

    White people wanting to look scary because the world around them scares them.

    So desperate to not look the "fool" or "victim" that they will instead embrace being the "bad guy".

    Used to be, warriors were valued in society. We used to use up people like this like tissue paper. There would be wars, and our warriors would be killed off and unable to do crap like this. It was good for everyone.

    Now, they've got nowhere to go. Oh, the military...soldiering isn't warrioring. Soldiering is a profession, with colleges and stuff. Now we're stuck with them, and there hasn't been a war on our continent since Pancho Villa shot all those people.

      We should bring back gladiator fights and channel all punisher skull energy into them. It should be the ultimate dudebro aspiration and libertarians must be collectively shamed as babymen until they participate. If one survives, we should bring back gladiator reenactments of sea battles where everyone dies.

          To me it's just a more honest version of American football. If we're going to take impoverished children and chew them up in a brain and body damage machine for a tiny chance at a 6 figure salary, don't obscure that. Let's replace the toxic neocolonialism of that with all of the anime nazis and see if they can really use their sword collection.

      Seems like you're romanticizing the past. I don't think the warrior cultures of old were good for everyone, many aspects of them seem like they were pretty crap to be honest!

        It's not romanticizing. I'm saying we had a system by which we got rid of these people. Now, we're so civilized we did away with it, without thinking about what we were going to do with these people afterwards. Now we're stuck with them. It's not romanticizing to say we used to feed them to machine guns and maquahuitl, and nobody missed them afterwards.

          I'm questioning your assumption that "these people" are an inherent subset of the population, who are distinct from the rest of the population, who you can identify throughout history, and who society needs systems to "get rid of". It seems like pseudoscientific speculation, unmoored in biology, psychology, or history.

          I'll try to make an edit after work to elaborate but here goes:

          Americans fetishize gun culture and violence because that is how they maintain their status as the world superpower. Suburban middle class desperately need imperialism, it got them their white collar job where they spend 8 hours sending a couple emails and shopping for a boat made from materials sourced all around the world. It's only when conditions decrease that the forces of imperialism must be turned inwards, and they absolutley hate it. If it means they must churn up some of their own to continue the march onward they will comply, otherwise it could be them who is left undertow. To paraphrase, it's less about feeling safe; it's about feeling in control.

    I used to have a lot of 'self defense' fantasies about home intruders and stuff when I was younger (and chuddier). Think it was part anger, and part paranoia. Always had me guard up sorta thing. Then I'm not sure what happened, but I seem to never really have them anymore. Guess I just grew up a bit.
