    All my chud stories are depressing, dumb or both lol.

    These are the same person for now

    My best friend’s cousin has Liberty Prime gifs and quotes in his Discord profile picture. He is a lolbertarian.

    He spams any and all meme channels with really shitty right wing memes 24/7. Nobody comments on them or replies with anything, it’s just a lonely stream of bad memes.

    When he joins voice channels, he does the whole “just asking questions” things right off the bat.

    “Is it racist to call Japanese people ***?”

    “That character reminds me of ****** you know who that is?” (dead naming a trans celebrity).

    He’s really obsessed with the Freikorps in 40k and I’m assuming the real ones.

    He’s 37

        there's the Krieg Korps who have a WW1 trench warfare aesthetic, but I'm not sure they necessarily fit in with the Freikorps beyond that, they're not really former veterans employed as paramiltiaries (although they are obsessed with dying in battle, so they at least have the fascist death drive going for them, but that's just most people in 40k)

          I just assumed that everything and everyone is trying to die in 40k

          They're also a hodge-podge of ww1 factions mixed together, like French trench coat, British boot thingies, American entrenching tool, etc.

        Death Korps of Krieg specifically, a close to discontinued army units. Not really official discontinuation but they hard to find through GW official vendors.

        I did exaggerate a little calling the units freikorps, I’ll admit. They have a WWI trench warfare uniform with gas masks+helmet look. There’s a lot of French and German influence in the uniform.

        But since chuds don’t know shit about shit, they latch onto a discontinued unit list and think it’s theirs or whatever. People that know 40k know what the units are but those dorks who get into it and jump right into these specific units are immediately sus.

        He got into 40k and went straight to that shit lol

          It's even more sus because Krieg only ever had super-expensive (think about 2x-3x the cost of the already outlandish 40k prices) Forgeworld-only models, so someone who dives in and goes straight for that is doing it for a reason. As for why chuds get into them, it's literally because they have a german-sounding name. Doesn't matter that their pointless dying in trench warfare is a reference to the wrong world war, doesn't matter that the uniform is inspired by a variety of countries, nope, they sound german so time to paint them up with swastikas.

          They did recently get a plastic Kill Team release, which is still $60 for 10 guys.

          They actually released new models for them recently for Necromunda.

        My friend is a coward. Simple as that really.

        It pained me so much typing that out because I think I’ve been in denial up until this point lol. I would be dishonest if I said it doesn’t hurt. Feels like a nearly 13 year friendship circling down the toilet.

        I don’t hang out with that group anymore tho so it’s all good.

          That's rough. We expect our friends to have a line that an asshole will cross and hope they'll shut that shit down when it matters.

          My friend in my original post seemed to be okay with me coming out, but then sat by and let her (closeted) boyfriend say horrendous shit around me. I won't say how you should feel about your friend, but you deserve people in your life who respect your values.

            Hey I just wanted to thank you for your kind words at the end there. I really needed to hear that.

            I tend to lose sight of the fact that there are so many people in the world who can relate to nearly everything in some fashion. It gives me hope every time I remember that.

              Of course. You deserve people who have your back just because you're a human being, but you're a comrade too and I hope you feel that at least while you're here. :heart-sickle:
