That awkward moment when you notice some dude who grew up in your neighborhood flashing a White Power hand signal at a Nazi rally. The dude in the blue Kansas City Royals World Series T-shirt and the tough guy tattoo kit from the back of the Spider-Man comic.
The dude with whom you share 13 mutual Facebook friends, eight of them you know pretty well, who you’re completely certain don’t have a racist bone in their bodies.
So, where did this come from?
This dude grew up in my neighborhood. In hindsight he would fit the exact profile of the type of loser who ends up joining the Proud Boys, or whatever iteration of wannabe Nazis these people are: Utterly forgettable rube who watches porn with his buddies.
I still can’t remember him very well. A few friends had to jog my memory. He was an asshole, a few years older than my friends and I, a bully.
Really twisted too, he got off on telling us younger kids how badly he was going to beat us. He did this while riding the bus. He was the oldest kid who rode the bus, go figure. Didn’t have any friends with a car. Fucking loser.
He wasn’t always a Nazi. If so, he could have fooled me. He was in sort of an oddball crew. He hung out almost exclusively with two other guys; one was Native, the other was Filipino. They weren’t white.
He wasn’t cool or popular. He didn’t do well in school. He wasn’t athletic. He wasn’t funny. He may have thought he was funny, but he wasn’t. He wasn’t anything really, except a creepy and mostly impotent bully, the type of guy who tortures ants and grows up to become a Nazi.
For those of you who aren’t familiar, I grew up, along with this Nazi cunt, in Fairbanks, Alaska. You couldn’t be a Nazi in Fairbanks. You’d get your ass beat pretty much right away. I’ve never even heard anyone even whispering that kind of thing when I was back home. I suppose there are Nazis everywhere, but, Fairbanks is one of the last places you’d fine any, at least I thought so.
Although this loser now lives in Portland, which is where he participated in this Nazi march, it’s a sad reminder that these people are all around us. They are our neighbors, cab drivers, bartenders, Facebook friends. They may be too ashamed or cowardly to tell us what they actually think, but they are standing next to us, lurking, waiting for that Nazi march to roll through town.
And they’re coy. They like to pass off their hateful ideologies as simply being the other side of the aisle. We’re politically incorrect, don’t get your panties in a bunch, it’s not like we’re advocating mass hatred and inciting violence over here.
I found this guy’s Facebook page. He is such a pathetic loser that even though he’s in his forties, his profile picture is of him playing high school football. Like all the losers susceptible to being scooped up by the alt right, he doesn’t have jack shit going on. Must be the fault of the Mexicans.
Not at all to my surprise, he’s a huge Trump fan. He posts memes, humorous memes, such as this:
He’s passing off his vile, misplaced, indefensible bigotry as harmless rhetoric. Facebook. Not the real world. It’s all fun and memes until someone is marching down the street with a shaved head throwing a White Power symbol.
Here he alludes to the fact that his co-workers might find his Facebook page problematic. Can I add you on Facebook? Not unless you’re cool with a bunch of thinly veiled Nazism.
It’s all the routine shit. Most every Nazi claims they’re not a Nazi while not coincidentally purporting to pragmatically believe in: Trump, Blue Lives Matter, anti-immigration, and their bullshit sense of patriotic superiority.
Just general loser shit.
Hilarious meme there, guy. So you’re saying that if your co-workers were to add you on Facebook, they might not be cool with the fact that you’re a marching Nazi?
Assuming some of them surely are minorities that would seem completely understandable, since you are engaged in a tactic of intimidation and wishing harm upon them as evidenced by your marching down the street as a skinhead, with a bunch of other losers, who love baseball, because it’s super American and they are super boring pathetic cunts.
I reached out to this dude on Facebook. I asked him:
Me: So you’re a white supremacist?
No response. I then forgot that white supremacists don’t call themselves white supremacists anymore. They think they’re really clever, even though everyone laughs at them and they are total pussies. So I amended my question:
Me: Sorry, white nationalist?
Again, no response. I still didn’t think I got the tone of the question right, so I sent him one more message which was again not responded to:
Me: Sorry, tiny dicked pussy boy?
In short, this dude is a huge loser, as is every other worthless piece of shit in that photo, marching across the bridge to nowhere while their wives stay home and complacently gain weight.
The people who post these memes aren’t harmless. This is what they all believe in. At least this guy has the balls to stand up for what he believes in – although he didn’t post this photo on his Facebook page – it turns out, he got found out. What a sad situation. A grown man, ashamed of himself.
But, beware, they are out there, and they’re emboldened. These bullies might not be a joke for much longer. But for now anyway they’re still tiny dicked pussy boys.
