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

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

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 days ago

it's Faux news. Of course it's a lie. Everything said on Faux news is a lie.

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

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.

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 17 points 2 days ago (1 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.

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

Holy shit it's John Antifascist!

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

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.
