stormfront was a nazi website

reddit is a nazi website

ergo

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 55 points 9 months ago

stormfront is still running and it's still as nazi as ever

[-] novibe@lemmy.ml 30 points 9 months ago

reddit is still running and it’s nazier and nazier

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 9 months ago

Usually what happens when those pointing out the nazis either get banned or have already left

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

It did get shut down, along with The Daily Stormer, for a while, but they both came back sicko-wistful nazi-punching fash-bash

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 49 points 9 months ago

ah, ok. that's straightforward! thank you

As someone who used to troll Stormfront for fun back in the day

I saw shit on Reddit that makes Stormfront look like Babytown

It speaks for itself when the frontpage is loaded with some version of "Look at this scary black man get shot by a hero cop" or "Loudmouthed cooze gets what's coming to her"

Not to mention the very nature of the site pushes for censoring of "unacceptable information" which allows them to basically control the narrative on whatever issue they want to

Reddit has an insane amount of casual racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, and just about every other shitty, abhorrent form of chudiness you can think of, right in the open and getting heavily upvoted. It's a site that can really distort any decent person's perception of humanity. It can turn the most trusting person into a diehard misanthrope quickly. The site needs to be avoided at all costs. I would prefer it to just not exist at all.

Every single time I go to my local subreddit I end up scream-typing at people for being fashy shits. The latest one was "hundreds of kids are fighting and smoking dope in the halls so they have to show us their student ID to use the restroom or else they can just piss themselves" and like, that's child abuse, and I'm pretty sure it's a human rights violation, and it's just sick, but I'm the asshole because "THEY'RE FIGHTING AND SMOKING THE JAZZ CABBAGE HUNDREDS OF THEM!!! WE HAVE TO HUMILIATE CHILDREN AND MAKE THEM HOLD IT UNTIL THEY GET BLADDER INFECTRIONS YOU ASSHOLE!"

Every local subreddit is full of the most suburban white dad kind of guy you've ever seen

[-] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

Local subreddits are the homes of cops, landlords, kulaks, and suburban whiners who have never set foot in the subreddit's namesake.

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 27 points 9 months ago

It went beyond casual, they had a racist subreddit so racist I refuse to name it.

[-] Angel@hexbear.net 33 points 9 months ago

"Casual racism implies the existence of competitive racism."

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 28 points 9 months ago

Inter right in fighting is competitive racism. “Jamie, pull up the story about the nazi who stabbed his nazi roommates over a racism argument” (no shit, it’s real)

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

Wasn't that Atomwaffen and the guy converted to Islam, and his buddies/roommates, also in Atomwaffen, refused to "respect his decision" which lead to him stabbing them?

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

Sounds right

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

I forgot about that one. There have been multiple with names that are explicitly racist it seems

[-] catonkatonk@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

r/worldnews?

[-] mango@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

The abhorrent shit they casually post about Romani people on there makes me nauseous

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago

what is babytown. how do i get an account on babytown. is hexbear federated with babytown.

[-] MaxOS@hexbear.net 51 points 9 months ago
[-] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 50 points 9 months ago

ask them what they think of us-foreign-policy and you'll find out quick

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 49 points 9 months ago

Woah did you not know about Stormfront before this thread? That's a beautiful rock, stay under it.

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago

i wish i did :(

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 45 points 9 months ago

Because every liberal on reddit invariably is a fascist when you push them on certain issues. Especially so if they're white, they go extra mask off

Oh that was a guerrilla marketing campaign for the new Battlefront game coming out

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Is there actually? I realize the joke but god damn I want a new states battlefield

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago

reddit is just stormfront/4chan but less self-aware and less entertaining

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 19 points 9 months ago

does it have anything to do with homelander?

I think it's the opposite way. The boys has a literal nazi character called stormfront, named after the nazi forum.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago

Stormfront was a forum for German socialists back in the day.

[-] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

Joke answer: reddit used to have a lot of storm chaser extreme weather videos on it, so it got the nickname stormfront because it loved stormy weather

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

they're hitlerites, innit

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

There used to be a stormfront subreddit so the moji is like a reminder
