NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
I’d love to say this surprises me, but it does not in the slightest.

And some idiot in one discussion still tries to convince me there is a difference between Republicans and Nazis…

100%. These assholes have been trained to gaslight and trot out nonsense about Robert Byrd being in the Klan like 100 years ago, or that Democrats were the real racists because of shit that happened before the 1960s, and completely ignoring (or lying about) things like the Southern Strategy and how the parties completely re-aligned since the Civil Rights era.
Thing is, I’m a white guy and I know how these motherfuckers talk when they think they are in a safe space. I grew up in an area that was overwhelmingly Republican, deeply racist and nearly 100% white.
They ain’t fooling me, I can tell you that much. This ain’t my first rodeo, I’ve heard all this shit before, and I’ve seen these mofos in action online since the BBS days, and shortly after that, the USENET days. I don’t care what kind of rhetoric they try to dress their “movement” up with and it doesn’t matter what protocol or platform they are on…their methods and tactics like employing the Gish Gallop should not fool anyone, either.
I want to like this comment 10 times. I feel like I’m reading my clones thoughts.
and how the parties completely re-aligned since the Civil Rights era.
“Completely” is wrong. The economically progressive policy on one side and crony-capitalist on the other have not shifted places.
One can rather describe it in the “Nazi bar” terms, racists jumped from the Democrat “bar” to the Republican “bar” and changed it for their ideas, but only where the racist categories were not orthogonal.
The end of the Dixiecrats

Same! I have the added pleasure of being a big, bearded, “straight-passing” gay man. I get to have really fun moments were the Republicans around me say despicable things about gays, I tell them I’m actually gay, then they trip all over themselves to explain how they’re actually totally cool with the gays. I call them out for being racist when that happens too. Making them uncomfortable by calmly shining light on their own words is one of my favorite group activities.
Now that I’m an adult and in not such a red area, I do notice times when I’ll get what I think are probably a few trial balloons. When I don’t bite, they don’t go any further. For example, some comment about “men in women’s sports”. Or how they will say they “identify as an attack helicopter”. Or how they should “put on a wig and a dress” so they can go into the women’s bathroom. That last one always amazes me, and I think I’ve heard it way too many times for it to be purely anecdotal. I do think the trans stuff is the go-to for this kind of thing as attacking trans is still considered mostly okay, and it’s the gateway drug for the rest of it…
But back when I was a kid/teen/adolescent - in the 70s/80s/early 90s - wow, some of the stuff just said casually, nearly all the time - unbelievable, even back then.
I’m bi, but straight passing. I got that southern boy look and draw in my voice. I do hard labor and I’ll jam out to some red dirt country music…and boy when I speak my.mind to folks like that, they don’t know what to do. I understand how you feel. It’s funny, but also annoying. Just cause we share the same pigmentation doesn’t mean we share the same views.
It’s so ironic that conservatives idolize some of history’s biggest losers, because had those losers won, there’s a chance that people today wouldn’t even be allowed to form their own opinions.
That’s always the goal. If everyone is oppressed, but they get to participate in the oppression of others, they’ll jump at the chance.
It’s the fucked up social contract that fascist supporters have with their dear leader, support dear leader unconditionally and dear leader will declare a new group of people to be below the supporters in the social hierarchy. This giving the supporters license to oppress that group.
While the supporters don’t like getting shit on from above, they take great pleasure from shitting on those below.
Surely those who vote for the worst human beings imaginable will be spared from their wrath, right?
Right??
Fascism seems to require an “other” to work. Once you’ve destroyed all of the existing “others”, the only thing left to do is to look inward and see whether those people who seemed like they were on your side were actually “others” all along.
And this is why fascism is inherently untenable in the long term - it becomes an ouroboros. It’s always a short-lived political philosophy as the reins keep getting tightened on who qualifies for the in-group until, eventually, those who supported it become part of the out-groups.
If you really love him you should go out just like he did.
Indeed. If you’re a fan of Hitler, follow his example and take yourself out. Save the rest of us the bullet.
…to the surprise of absolutely no one.
This isnt fuckings news… this is the farthest thing from relevant and important as one can get
Right!? We should be talking about that racist asshat Charlie Kirk. A day to remember that hate begets hate and that people have to die to protect our gun rights.
Im gonna a prayer for you tonight stranger.
Don’t forget Charlie, you can send prayers down as well as up.
Definitely, prayer to/for the dead can be of value, in this realm and the next. And Charlie is absolutely Definitely in heaven, thats how it works.
Lord, thank you for our martyred friend Charlie Kirk. He brought truth to young folks dying of starvation of truth. We dont know why you let such evil befall such an undeserving person, but your ways are higher than ours. Bless his family and let his message be even louder than ever and reach more young folks than ever. Bless the shooter. Open his eyes and let him see his errors and may he become a new creation in Christ. Thank you Lord for your love. Amen
Dear Lord please punish Charlie for his sins against humanity. You may not exist, but if you did you would rain hellfire down upon the diseased organization known as Turning Point. An organization that created right wing hate propaganda dividing God’s people along imaginary lines. There is no greater sin as to other and dehumanize people.
May Charlie’s children learn the truth about their hateful mother and father and disown them before God. Only then can they join the imaginary kingdom of heaven.
May you turn the hearts who have been poisoned against their fellow man, in particular the hater and propagandist Soktopraegaeawayok. He knows not what he does and there is still time to save his soul from eternal damnation. I ask these things of you in the name of our made-up lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Lol, multiple times you admitted that you dont believe God, and mocked Him. Your empty words are only that, empty.
But I do sincerely pray that God will move in your life and that you will see truth. Amen.
Dear imaginary Lord, I pray to you to intervene right now in this hateful troll’s heart. He denies you are imaginary and all your made-up glory. Please help him see the truth that you do not exist.
He knows not what he does because you never gave him the ability to think critically or examine his own beliefs. This is clearly your fault imaginary father. Every time this poor human prays they are only praying to their own empty ego.
I do sincerely ask that you work on their heart. Just as you did on mine helping me to see everyone has lied about you. The truth will set him free from the shackles of his own creation. Please imaginary lord and father do this so that they may find peace. Amen.
Publicly showing this is important. Hopefully this article comes up every time they apply for a job, or appear in public.
Has anyone started to link them up to their real names and addresses?
It’d be nice if some company would start offering services to do background checks on people for hateful comments. Oh, I’m sure there would be lots of butthurt about it, and people rearing up on their hind legs, barking out some shit about “rights” and “freedom”, but if there are private companies issuing FICO scores on things like private purchases, etc…why the fuck shouldn’t something like that exist?
If companies are doing background checks into your finances, why not about the shit you say, even if it’s been leaked?

Showing this doesnt do anything. Guess what, people know that many people are absolutely terrible, harping on it only gives it more strength and spreads more hate. And you can’t stop hate with hate, it doesnt work that way.
Also, im sure you have said some shit that you wouldn’t want to admit to. I know i have. I think 99.99% people have said regrettable shit. Let us let people change. In fact, forgiving someone’s past is exactly how we help a person change. Go on though, keep hating, keeping hate/unforgiveness will make a person physically ill. Love
Holding someone accountable is not hating.
I never said it was, also, thats what you think this is? This is not “holding someone accountable”
Fuck these people.
I couldn’t stomach the entire article. These people are sick.
As if they don’t say this kind of stuff publicly.
That’s just it though. They hide the worst parts of their beliefs until they are in their safe space. In public they obfuscate their true beliefs with pandering and cliche language. Prior to these revelations I’m sure they’d vehemently deny being racist. Even after this release they’d still probably try to deny it.
And instead of disavowing these scumbags, JD Vance is saying it’s not a big deal.
Just more “locker room” talk from the fascists.
Just like how it’s “locker room” talk about committing sexual assault.
Does that mean we can make Charlie Kirk jokes?
There was never any reason to stop. The GOP shot him too.
Wow, read this whole article.
Thanks. I just did because of this. Holy cow.
i had to bow out when they called Epstein a wealthy financier
Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic
Not that I expect anything from these people, but… seriously?
And his last name is “maligno.” Even Disney wouldn’t use a villain name that blatant. Is reality just a really bad fanfic at this point?
The Simulation is running low on RAM and using quite a bit of swap space atm. It’s tricky to prioritize the constant gestures broadly with trivial things like names. It’ll eventually sort itself. Maybe.

More like a DM who was not prepared for the players inquiring about the name of one of the random goon NPCs.
I am shocked I tell you.
What a bunch of sick fucks? Ship their asses off to Russia, they’re a perfect fit for Vlad’s shithole.
You do know that Russians destroyed the Nazis right ?
The Party of Donald Trump wrote the emancipation proclamation in the 1800s. Who cares?
The liberals, duh.
Russian people don’t deserve that, most people actually hate Nazis even in Russia.
Stole this description from the other post about this.
Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.
Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n–ga” and “n–guh,” variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as “epic.” Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”
