This is why I immediately assume you're a moron if you watch Fox News.

Oh shit, I recognize his eyes from Antifa Brunches. We were gonna call it "book club," but he was insistent on the name for some reason.

Remember when Fox got a lawsuit dismissed by arguing that no reasonable person would take them seriously? And then millions of people kept taking them seriously? https://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-karen-mcdougal-case-tucker-carlson-2020-9

We all know this is some random conservative trying to frame the movement, right? We're not taking this seriously, right?

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 49 points 3 months ago

That looks like Dave from Antifa's Accounts Receivable department.

Tempted to reach out to CNN claiming to be a former proud boy, and tell them dumb stuff like how they lure you in by being accepting of bestiality, and there's lots of Harry Potter roleplay which is fun, but then these guys from Mississippi show up and threaten to kill you if you break character or accidentally drop the British accent

The truth about Proud Boys is already weird enough. They sing Disney songs and beat the shit out of each other while naming breakfast cereals.

Wait is this true or are you doing the thing?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Its true. Their handbook was entered into evidence back in 2023 and you can find the whole thing online. The group is named after a song that was cut from Aladdin and is sung at least once at every meeting. The cereal thing is part of an initiation rite. They also have rules about how often they can jerk off in there.

Lmfao goddammit it's already beyond parody

Named after a cut song from a movie featuring non white characters

Holy shit it's John Antifascist!

Not uncommon for people in activist scenes to burn all their bridges and dox all their 'mates', be cautious of how much you give away about yourself in organising spaces

also I do literally know of people who consider themselves members of antifa, fucking laughable

The “leftists” who haven’t or won’t deal with their internalized shit who when called out on said shit will get real defensive and then embrace fascism are wild. Like “you lefties are the actual fascists, so I’m going to the side that is okay with me making jokes about minorities and saying slurs ironically”. They do tend to be real vindictive types too

Former ANTIFA member means, that he's a FA member now … right? (Am asking for a friend. 🥷)

[–] DreamAccountant@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Even they say it is not real news, it's "Entertainment News". Like "The Daily Show".

So, they just brought out a house comedian in costume, and they're doing a bit. It's not funny, like "The Daily Show", it's drama. So they lie and act dramatic. But it's all fictional. So they don't have to tell the truth about anything. Ever.

That's how they ruthlessly spread nazi propaganda, and it MUST be stopped.

He doesn't look like a WW2 vet.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Anyone got the video?

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago

I'm guessing he's the MAGA brother in law of one of the producers.
