    I have no idea how we wound up with that word in our lexicon, it does seem to be a bigot thing everywhere else

          it's the incel/manosphere thing about being so unmanly that your (obviously female) spouse sleeps with others and you allow it.

            "Cuck" is worse than that: it entered the discourse via Steve Bannon's neo-nazi propaganda movement and he got from The Camp of the Saints, a French white supremacist novel that used it to refer to anyone who didn't want to exterminate refugees.

        Based and cuck both pack a punch and have a non mainstream sound, even though they've kinda become mainstream, so they get used by extremists all around. I think horseshoe theory might be true for language because the middle and moderate people can just express their beliefs with common language, but more obscure positions inevitably see their adversaries and some terms they like in them. Realpolitik I think I've seen used by chan heads too, and red pill maybe started more leftist until chuds took it over. Honestly -pill language is ubiquitous to extremists, because we all swallowed something the mainstream didn't want to show us.

      I mean I see it a lot in my friendgroup, along with stuff like Chad. Like this is a group where basically nobody is cishet and also I'm in it so definitely a 0 bigot space.

      Irony. Based, redpilled, all that crap is ironic mockery of the alt-right.

      We can recuperate it and probably should. Worked for Nordic Gamer.
