Edit: What do you judge them for?
Cybertruck drivers.
ETA: Regular Tesla drivers I give the benefit of the doubt to, because they might have bought their car before they realized Musk is a Nazi dickhead man-child. But cybertruck drivers basically knew and didn’t care (or still fanboi’d over him).
I saw a cybertruck the other day with a “Bought it before we knew Elon was crazy” bumper sticker on it. I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt, since I myself was pro-Elon once upon a time, but c’mon. I know not everyone stays plugged into the news cycle, but you didn’t know until after you bought the cybertruck?
wait, but the cybertruck was way after he went full nazi.
A certain little moustache was generally popular and harmless before Hitler came along, but after the war it forever became the Hitler moustache and shaving one’s face in that style nowadays invites the comparison whether or not one means it that way.
Like the fylefot and any number of runes.
Because if the way I shave, I’m concerned that I’ll have a heart attack just before I finish and I’ll be buried looking like Hitler.
I had a similar thought years ago, so if anything happens, I’ll end up with a reverse Hitler.
I think it was actually fairly common after WWI, since it’s about the only facial hair you can really have with a gas mask.
TIL Trumps father wore a Hitler mustache until 1950.
After World War II, toothbrush variants were worn by a small number of notable individuals, e.g. American real-estate developer Fred Trump (who wore a split variant), and former president of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe (covering only the philtrum).
Trump wore a toothbrush mustache from c. 1935 to 1950, about when it fell out if fashion due yo associations with Adolf Hitler
In the UK you can see what year most cars were bought based on the license plate. I absolutely give Tesla owners the benefit of the doubt if it was bought before this year - although Musk showed something of his true personality in 2018.
But the other day I saw a dude driving a Tesla Y with a '25 plate and I absolutely judged him for buying a car fronted by an actual nazi.
He showed his personality when he accused a rescue worker of being a pedophile while trying to rescue children trapped in a cave.
They told Musk to fuck off when he was insisting that his “submarine” can save the day.
All the money in the world and no brains.
and the hyperloop scam was even more unforgivable, basically robbed california of a high speed rail system, which was blocked by trumps 1st term elain chao. and now its just a half-assed attempt with no progression.
Yup, that’s exactly what I was thinking of from 2018.
Musk: “I’ll build a submarine to save them, then everyone will love me even more!”
Cave Rescue Expert: “That’s not an especially practical solution given the situational needs of this resuce operation.”
Musk: “… er… well… pedo!”
ive seen many teslar drivers bought thier regular tesla cars/suvs after musk went full nazi, like 1-2 years after he bought xitter. they know better, but they are very super-ignorant demographic, apparently alot of them in my area when i look into whos drivers, its asians, im asian.(its like a hybrid of ignorant but still aware of the news of the current events and still purchasing said item/services because it previously had brand recognition thats all they cared about, at the same time low info on the politicla spectrum)
It’s not judgement so much as a red flag, but those sunglasses that are like a solid cylinder wrapping around your head. They’re popular with manosphere dudebros, which is unfortunate because I actually kind of like them.
Lifted pickups that I know cost more than a modest house. It’s the same as buying a sports car, except you’re also posing as a humble working man simultaneously.
A portable speaker. What public space are you going to pollute with your noise?
I use to feel that way before I moved to the city. Now it’s just part of the ambiance
they work in private spaces too
Too late, ya been judged!
Me, connecting to the speaker and opening up pornhub: “it’s showtime”
“I’ve got a bathtub and an imagination; I’m staying indoors this summer. That way I can listen to music I like.” - Bill Hicks.
Cigarette smokers. Mostly because I hate the smell and smokers have their sense of smell damaged so much they don’t notice. And sometimes when it sticks to their clothing I just can’t be around them at all.
Worked with a guy that was a heavy smoker. When the first winter came around I didn’t have a good spot to put my jacket. He had a 2 hook cubicle-wall-hang style coat hook. He moved it between our cubicles so I could use it too. I used it once. My jacket reeked at the end of the day.
I also dislike the smell, but I’m a lot more sympathetic to tobacco use than I used to be because stimulants help to correct low executive function and these people are probably managing their disability the only way they know how.
dude holy shit. that actually explains so much about the smokers in my life. they never got the kind of help they needed because when they needed help people just thought they were lazy/stupid. i bet thats where a lot of their negative self talk stems from too. thanks for the new perspective.
Rolex. Up to you to interpret what this means.
Hats. Fucking hat people think they are better than me just because they cover their head?!
I don’t think I’m better than you for wearing a hat, I’m bald and a sunburn on your scalp is a mother fucker, I think I’m better than you for other reasons entirely.
Wanted to cover your head anyway, just for a laugh? We already have a tool for that: it’s called HAIR.
THEY HAVE PLAYED US FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS
Back the Blue
MAGA shit, thin blue line, black US flag, etc…
In case a civil war actually happens, it’s good to know the enemy.
All of that plus any “Punisher” logo on clothing or vehicles.
Especially that punisher skull motif with the Trump hair. That takes the cringe to a new level.
So far, I’ve only seen one of those. They’re so stupid looking that if it had been by itself, I wouldn’t have been able to tell if it was meant as a joke. They also had one of those “thin blue line” American flag stickers, though, so that cleared it right up.
The punisher would shoot them for that and not look back
I had to do a search. I’m sorry I did.
I thought you were making this up, but no, we’re really exploring new frontiers of cringe
It’s also a fundamental misunderstanding of the character. It’s like all they know about him is the name and the logo.
right winger love to co-opt signs and things of other cultures, concepts and PERVERT into as a right wing identity.
I’m about to get a LGBT punisher logo for my car. 🤣
a rainbow one/
That fits with his ideologies far better than the thin blue line skull nonsense.
dont forget thier lifted giant trucks, that are 1-3feet off the ground. we get it you bought a giant truck to look “masculine” and your wife is a soccer mom and a karen.
Add “Gulf of America” shirts to the list
100%. I’ve recently added the “Grunt Style” tshirts to my red flag catalog.
What’s wrong with a black US flag? It’s a discrete way to display the flag no?
It supposedly means that “no quarter will be given”.
That’s also what US Nazis say.
Indeed.
Because I’m surely not the only one going ‘why would I want change, I paid with plastic’: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_quarter
Start asking for bills then. No point in asking for dimes or nickels.
Well, shit. Didn’t know that thanks
It’s not really a us flag once you change it.
Ugh. I hate it when people downvote others for asking legitimate questions. I didn’t know it had a special meaning either, so thanks for taking one for the team. 🤷♂️
It’s against flag code and is considered not a proper flag.
I mean, if it’s on clothing, it’s not a flag, it’s a flag image. Ergo, the flag code doesn’t really give a fuck.
At this point in my life I couldn’t care less about the flag code. I just like to be discrete. But as people have pointed out, there are meanings that people are already using it for of which I fundamentally disagree with so….
Good thing I never got around to it
Seems like a dogwhistle confederate flag to me.
I’m Canadian, they use a black flag up here too. I don’t know or care about proper flag usage, I just know if I see a black Canadian flag on someone’s car or clothing that they:
- hate the left
- own a gun
- want “freedom”
- don’t care about the environment
- possibly racist?
Brand clothing plastered with logos of the brand.
I immediately know you’re vacuous and live your life for the image you have for others instead of focusing on yourself.
My wife’s Filipino and that’s just their style, like they’re stuck in the 80s.
Same, sort of. For me it varies, some is supposed to be a status symbol and that I find lame.
But some are signals about a person; Bass Pro, fisherman; Backwoods, down to smoke; Burton, snowboarder; Venture, skateboarder; etc. These I see more as a band shirt, like “hey I like that thing/band too, wanna hang out?” These I actually like, they can be informative.
And some are just free shirts from work itself, vendors to your work, events, etc. Maybe they just got off and are still in “uniform” (if you can call a company t-shirt a uniform lmao), maybe their job sells a lot of Kawasaki and they sent shirts to the dealership they work at, this falls more into the informative category and indicate possible hobbies. Same with the event shirts, it’s more about a memory of the event, it indicates possible hobbies like running or biking, and hell a free shirt is a free shirt.
Hell even the status symbol shirts, I guess do the same thing in signaling something about a person, but imo it signals that
you’re vacuous and live your life for the image you have for others instead of focusing on yourself.
A ute with no mud on it. Either it’s brand new, or they have no idea what the point of a ute is, so they bought an overpriced car which is worse for them than an average station wagon
Had to look up what a ute was, for any Americans it’s a pickup truck. And I was going to say the exact same thing, judging people for having a spotless pickup.
“utility truck”
Crucifix.
Hm. Cop uniforms. I
accurately appraisejudge them to likely be problematic in all kinds of ways that might threaten my safety and certainly that of othersCigarettes
Anyone who pays the ridiculous up charge so they can provide free advertising for any big brand. If you paid $50 bucks for a regular ass shirt with nothing but a Nike logo on it then you’re a fucking rube.
Negatively: Almost any clothing with more than a couple words of text.
Clothing with a prominent brand.
Clothing with right-wing political connotations.
Dyed blonde hair or hair dyed brown/black that should, obviously, be gray.
Tramp stamps. Japanese writing tattoos on non-Japanese. Face tattoos. Neck tattoos. Tattoos of pop culture themes.
Expensive cars. Dodge pickup-trucks. Harley Davidson motorcycles. Dodge Chargers. Teslas.
Police officers.
Positively: Normal clothing. Well-dressed but obviously not expensive clothing. ‘Funky’ style clothing. Clothing that would just look stupid on me.
Wildly dyed hair. Subtlety dyed hair that isn’t covering something up.
Tattoos that are, at least, fairly unique.
Glasses. (I don’t know, I’m prejudiced for people with glasses.)
Old women.
I could probably come up with a lot more. We’re all prejudiced in some way. It’s the things that we’re prejudiced about and how attached we are to those prejudices that define us.
