I'm actually having a hard time deciding between several solid contenders (and their totally-not-their-alts alts) but I'll go with one that I had very little actual interaction with: the "cranking the hog in front of coworkers whether they want to see that or not is liberating and if you're against it you're a reactionary scold" Whedonbrain we had that one time. :volcel-judge:

    the early Haz shit was pretty funny. also BMF (who's not a wrecker but obviously...complicated) for occupying this weird space where they get banned for some sectarian thing every few months but are always back and posting that pure distilled :matt-jokerfied: . please BMF be at the JT AMA

      They're getting close. We are getting to the 'how very 'socialist' of you' level of posting. I'd say 3-9 months. Idk though, they have a marathon of takes.

        I wasn't convinced at first, particularly when they did the big mea culpa and acknowledged that they'd learned something, but the threads they keep posting are so clearly geared to try to start struggle sessions that I can't imagine they're anything but a wrecker.

        He started doing apologia for American soldiers and then doubled down into doing apologia for Nazi soldiers and how they were "forced" to commit atrocities.

        Since the old rebuttals of that are all archived now, I'll restate them for anyone who missed it then:

        It needs to be stated that Nazi soldiers quite objectively were not forced or coerced into taking the actions they did, and weren't even threatened with light disciplinary actions if they refused to participate in massacres. Even the Nazis recognized that killing and particularly killing in cold blood traumatizes people, and so they lionized the "sacrifice" soldiers made by "shouldering that burden" (there's more to be said about how the fascist death cult worships suffering and death, both inflicting it and receiving it, but I'll keep this short) and at least ostensibly rewarded soldiers with alcohol for carrying them out, fearing a morale crisis if they forced unwilling soldiers to participate. Nazi soldiers actively and willingly carried out atrocities both when prompted to by their commanders and on their own initiative, and there is no record of any disciplinary action taken against someone for refusing to do so.

            Reread that. That's the refutation of his "Nazi soldiers were just poor little patriots who were forced to massacre civilians" shit, something that is in fact objectively false. Some were forced into battle, or forced to hold a defensive position, but when it came to atrocities there was no coercion or disciplinary actions: it's a matter of historical record that wehrmacht soldiers who committed atrocities were doing so willingly and without coercion, and the narrative that they were forced is part of the "clean wehrmacht" myth.

    That one week where we had genuine chuds from like the Fox News comments section or something who had zero thinking/debate skills and kept getting confused by people explaining that there’s a difference between socialism and liberalism, and that they (the chuds) were technically liberals

        I talked to some 19 year old in the real world yesterday who was that guy. Unironically used "tankies" in a sentence. I won't tell you what org he's in, but it rhymes with "PieDSA". I told him about this place, too, I really hope he drops by.

      Paleo diets were a non-starter. Once I went to a cafe and the "Paleo Bowl" had sausage in it. Paleo seems to have no real rules.

        Paleo seems to have no real rules.

        I mean the plants that would have given us the majority of our caloric intake during the paleolithic period are either extinct or completely unrecognizable so the diet has always been more of a vibe.

        On a somewhat related note, plenty of "return to caveman" dudebros think le steak for every meal is complete nutrition and is everything their primordial sigma male ancestors ate. :so-true:

          I completely embrace the "caveman diet". Cavemen wandered around all day looking for anything that looked tasty and ate it, which means it's 100% paleo to eat a chocolate cake in the middle of walmart with your bare hands

        Someone made a post about how it's reactionary to be mad at women for enjoying pumpkin spice, which, yeah, dislike of pumpkin spice flavoring is deeply rooted in the misogynistic toxic masculinity view that anything popularly enjoyed by women is Bad, Actually.

        So anyways this inoffensive post picked up 150+ comments from some dude absolutely flying off the hook against pumpkin spice and wammens, his many many acts as he got chain banned, and everyone else dunking on him as he became increasingly unhinged

      That was the one time where I felt like I did not belong on the old subreddit. To be clear, it's not because I also wanted to fuck the bunny cop - it just felt like the community was engaging in cruelty for cruelty's sake.
