Dudes claiming they are "old stock" or "heritage" Americans. They'll even call other white people who's ancestors weren't here before the Civil War "ellis islanders" and invaders.

As someone who's ancestry has partially been here since the 1690s.. it's a crock of shit and silly as fuck.

    It is very telling how much of the younger dudes steeped in white supremacy are single.

    Ive always thought fascism partially stems from sexual insecurity.

      If you spend more than 5 minutes on 4chan you will learn that a good 90% of their fascist worldview is sexual insecurity.

        Yeah I think it's best we not forget that a huge chunk of jim crow was about keeping "black beasts" away from white women (even though the vast majority of black men just wanted equality and could have given a fuck less about white women)

        As for 4chan i spent 20 minutes on there one time and immediately saw one of those racist bait meme posts with a young black kid pictured saying something like

        "hey cracker how does it feel I get more money and white pussy than you all day"

        Trying to goad their sexual and financial insecurity.

        God that site is a shithole

      Speaking from personal experience, being young and chronically sexually frustrated can really fuck with you and our culture is dogshit at dealing with that situation. There are few voices or there giving a positive, helpful or hopeful message to these people. Instead there's a plethora of the most vile and toxic people alive giving them a false sense of supremacy and victimhood by filling them with racism, misogyny and straight up fascism.

      Of course there is a chicken and egg kind of situation going on. Sexual frustration can make you vulnerable to nasty beliefs but obviously being an incel and acting in a manner that is repulsive to other people is only going to make that sexual frustration worse. And the two things doesn't necessarily have to go together, you can be sexually frustrated without being an asshole and you can be a reactionary piece of shit and still have sexual partners.

      I don't know what the correct way of dealing with these young people is. But I'm kind of wary about using sexual frustration as an insult. On the one hand it is arguably funny as it is obviously a big insecurity for the fash but on the other hand it perpetuates a form of toxic masculinity in which sexual conquests (just typing that phrase makes me cringe) is a prerequisite for being a "real man" whereas sexual "failure" is something to be ashamed of. Also, making fun of sexual frustration is certainly not an inviting and inclusive gesture to insecure young people who have not found out how to form that kind of relations yet.

        language minutiae that can be ignored

        But I'm kind of weary about

        you might have intended to mean tired here but just in case, consider "wary" which has more of a cautionary feel, as in beware

        It's why their biggest fear is "third worlders" coming to rape and pillage the white women they believe are "theirs".
