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.

There will probably be no consequences anyways.

Absolutely fucking wild.

[-] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 9 points 5 days ago

PSA for new folks: please don’t feed the troll in this thread.

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

My money is on them being a fed, not a troll.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

It’s YOUR JOB to give them consequences.

But no, just go to your No Kings parade and pat yourself on the back for “doing your best.”

[-] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

Hahaha, going to no kings IS the consequences a just a guy person can do

Everything else requires the correct circumstances and rare possibilities

[-] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 6 days ago

This is like telling someone that is depressed that they need to smile more.

Makes you feel better anyone who has dealt with it just sees an asshole.

Great. I'll make sure to coddle you. And meanwhile, you get steamrolled by Nazis.

[-] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago

This is fun. Of this was a hundred years ago, you definitely would be blaming the Jews for being sent to concentration camps.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 6 days ago

Wha do you reckon Americans do? They’re fucked no matter what. You can condescend all you want but you have just as much power as they do to help them: None

Good luck! You’re really making a difference posting garbage online!

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Nah- so much. My impact is about equal with that of the “No Kings” protest. So… you know. Cute, mostly well-intentioned, but ultimately useless.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 days ago

Great ideas for solutions, you’re a genius! Way to go, champ.

[-] SparkyBauer44@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Bending over before they even ask. How brave of you.

[-] prole 2 points 5 days ago

I think you need to focus on your own country's issues.

In other words, go away.

[-] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago

It's possible to go to a protest, meet some people, and then go kick some Nazis together. Not everyone just holds a sign and stops there.

[-] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

You could even add voting at the start of your list and it would still work out

Yeah. You might remember us from a few solid decades of telling you this was going to happen. Remember, when you got shitty and belligerent about it? "America's hat?" Something like that.

It's interesting how when US liberals get defensive about their inaction they start sounding like US conservatives.

[-] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Jesus dude. Just want to be angry at someone, huh?

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

Most American response.

“Anger? That’s just so unpleasant.”

[-] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

What do you suggest I do? Say it directly, psycho

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago

It's more interesting when America's hat won't shut the fuck up about a situation they have no power in effecting. Go bitch about your countries own shortcomings.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

Congrats, you're a Bush-era republican.

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

And you're a current era Canadian with no power in US affairs. Don't you have your own issues with corruption, genocide and rightwing bullshit? Fuck how pathetic to sideline whine about a game you aren't playing in.

[-] GoodStuffEh@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Time to go beating children that I assume are Nazis I guess

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

This trash is 18-40 years old.
