Literally any mention of some supposed 'western civilization' or 'western culture'. Like just say the 14 words already, cause we all know that's what you believe in. Fucking coward

    All of these come from the same guy:

    "I don't think our black coworkers are people, they don't have souls."

    "I'm eastern orthodox but only online, I can't go to the orthodox churches here because they're full of slavs."

    "I'm not voting for either party because neither one is going to protect our people."

    "I'm collecting these guns so i can protect myself and my family from all the minorities in the city when society collapses."

    "You should read Hitler, he has good ideas and was censored for being right."

    But this guy is also just weirdly open about being a fascist.

    For most people it's stuff like suddenly becoming very religious but only for Orthodoxy or Catholicism, if they were raised evangelical or irreligious.

    Being vocally uncomfortable with cities as a concept.

    Talking about how bad crime is these days.

    Making remarks about how you "can't do that anymore" or "you never see that anymore."

    I don't think any of those are foolproof but they get the hitler-detector going.

      How did he even end up like that? Eastern Orthodox, but hates the people of the east?

        Online I guess? I think he likes that it subdivides by ethnicity (Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox etc.) but he considers himself a German/Aryan.

    "Overpopulation" or any mention of not having enough resources is some ass-backward Malthusian mindset that usually indicates someone wants to do a culling of undesirables.

    All forms of flag-shagging

    'kek' is a major red flag, but isn't definite proof. Sometimes idiot liberals add the wrong words to their vocabulary.

    Knowing too much and at the same time not enough about Romans is also a big red flag.

      Years ago I had an apartment neighbor who had a kek flag in his window. I talked to him exactly one time in which after telling him I'm a musician he went off about how the music scene in our city sucked because a bunch of people beat the shit out of him in the pit at a hardcore show lmao

        “Fren” is the big one to watch out for.

        The optimist in me says a lot of “fellas” are misguided liberals who’s hearts are in the right place and just need to be talked to.

            Yeah, Fellas was made in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

            Unfortunately the creator of the meme is a hog, but it should be noted that many well-meaning liberals also adopted the meme and I’ve seen pro-LGBT fellas on more than one occasion.

    ”Mass immigration”, ”open borders” (obviously depending on tone) and ”unskilled migrants”.

    Talking about Bill Gates, now obviously he's terrible on all levels, but Gates bashing is a reliable fash tell. Same goes for the Clintons.

    There's a certain elementary school education that just encodes this shit on your brain. Everything is Euro-centric. Only the most lily white aristocrats get any kind of credit for progress. Phillip of Macedonia, King Louis XIV of France, and Winston Churchill are transformative historical figures while Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad, King Sejong the Great, and Ho Chi Minh barely merit a mention.

    Is it any wonder why American students step out of their high school graduation ceremonies believing Cleveland, Ohio is the pivot around which the rest of the world turns?

    One of the reasons a book like Howard Zinn's "People's History" sends so many college freshmen spinning sideways, despite it being barely a nudge off the center of the western oriented curriculum, stems from the degree to which public schools blind their students to any variance in historical perspective. These kids come out fragile as porcelain, and absolutely primed to shatter, given the teenage inclination toward rebellion and the ample evidence of their indoctrination.

    When I hear someone say "Western Civilization", my knee-jerk response is to bring up something wildly outside their wheelhouse. Historical figures, events, and even whole civilizations they've never heard of. "Have you ever heard of the Phoenician alphabet? Because you're using it, kid. Your entire language is rooted in North Africa."
