    Posting under the “Noble Media Resource Channel” on Telegram, Proud Boys member Jeremy Bertino saluted Seagraves under his nickname, writing, “POYMFM ROOSTER.” “POYMFM” is an acronym for “proud of your mother f*cking boy.”

    Dude's nickname was "Rooster." I think the Colonel got to him. :punished-bernie:

      “proud of your mother f*cking boy.”

      Is this generation of fascists more childish than the previous, or is it a case of :astronaut-2: :astronaut-1:

        Fascist aesthetics play well in media because that’s basically what they were designed for. Watching people replicate that behavior in large numbers inspires horror and awe. Seeing a small number of college-age dudes doing it is objectively hilarious.

        If anyone’s familiar with Doctor Who, I always think of the episode where some tech bro whiz kid builds some shit for the Sontarans (the fascist warrior race who look like humanoid potatoes) under some pretense that he’ll be exalted for his superiority as a human. And watching this gangly bio essentialist nerd play along with the Santaran chants is exactly how I love to see fascists: insecure individuals trying to reassure themselves with rituals about how badass they are.

        Don't they have a gang initiation where they list cereals as they're getting their asses beat?
