This guy talks like a moronic middle school bully. And the fucked up grammar (especially casing) is definitely on brand.
Literally sounds like a teenage boy who spent too much time on 4chan
Misspelled 'incel'
Just going from the headline, I assumed the "Heritage Foundation" was a non profit that worked to preserve our civilisation's historic buildings, locations, works of art and culture.
Turns out they're just bigoted fascists, I guess? Huh.
A lot of those over in the USA at the moment. I mean, we have our fair share in Europe too, but ya know, it feels like it's reaching a tipping point in the USA where fascists have by now infiltrated everything at all levels... :-/
In the US, anything with "heritage" in its name is usually racist. The word became a dog whistle for white supremacists after the civil rights era.
Heritage Foundation is the main Republican “think tank.” When Republicans are out of power they hire people who they expect will return to power. When a politician writes a book no one gives a shit about, they buy copies in bulk to try to manipulate The NY Times best-seller list and make it seem popular. It’s just an arm of the Republican Party.
The equivalent for Democrats is the Center for American Progress. It’s not as evil but it’s also not a real think tank. (Real think tanks hire Ph D’s and produce academic-level work. Heritage and CAP are more like marketing companies masquerading as non-profits.)
Turning Point.
(is the name of their arm/organization that makes propaganda aimed at colleges and young people.)
Yeah, because what they want is less attention for what they did, lol
I support gay furry hackers, especially if they target the heritage foundation and other trash like that. If they come to light ill donate funds towards further hacking endeavors.
Hear, hear!
I raise a drink to these GayFurHacktivists and their antifascist endeavors! 🥃
Yiffin' your servers!

I don't 'get' furries at all, but I have met a whole whopping 2 of them in my life (that I know of) and they were both super chill and friendly people, so I am all for supporting them! You friendly weirdos. 👍
+1 for yiffing.
I do believe they're laying low right now
Lay low, bask in the glow. Decide on a new target, or hit the same ones again, choices choices. Fight the good fight
I’m waiting for them to try using the navy seal copypasta “unironically”
Dunno, this seems like he's having fun too, just not clearly enough.
Or maybe it's really that bad.
I dont think literal Nazis have that kind of humor
Sometimes they do.
But usually yes, people who become Nazis (or similar) are not very inventive, not very creative, don't have sense of humor and consider themselves (and some majority they imagine) incapable of those, and those capable - weirdos\geniuses\miracles and such.
Which is why their instruments of choice are violence and scams - they think they can't do anything else. This also excludes really brave people who consider themselves incapable - because a brave person doesn't have to believe in having some talent to try again and again.
It's sad really. But at the same time inspiring, since it means that the better we can educate people (or at least teach them bravery, and bravery can be taught) and the more opportunities for development we give them, the fewer Nazis (or similar) there will be.
Fascism works because it convinces the most average unremarkable person that they are more worthy as long as they follow a chain of command
Took me about two minutes on a cellphone to find his home address using public records. And another minute to find his fax number.
Maybe I should introduce him to the wonderful world of gay furry images.
This guy read about AM once and decided to base his whole life around the guy.
