Wasn't a fascist but was maybe 30% baked into one around 2015. One day I was in my room, listening to a Sargon video, when I was stuck by a moment of clarity and thought "Jesus christ, all these people are unbelievably whiny fucking dorks who never stop complaining about shit that doesn't matter, and also the bigotry was never actually a joke."
Then I found CTH and never looked back. Just generally growing up and maturing helped too.
What's "CTH" mean? Contract-to-hire, Carson Tahoe Health, Confederation of Tourism & Hospitality, Closer To Home, Commonwealth, Chemotherapy, Chal Theek Hai, Chug the Handle, or was it Cranking The Hog? You meant Cranking the Hog, didn't you? ...and you didn't look back.
The fact that you said cranking the hog makes me think you don't need this but...
CTH = Chapo Trap House
Thank you!
Probably Chapo trap house
Youre both right
Me too. They just wouldn't stfu about trans people
Its very funny that these people have all the financial and institutional backing in the world to construct a pipeline, but they still managed to fuck up their own Stroggification process by being too annoying
Do they pretend it's a joke or something?
Believe it or not they did for a bit around ~2015 or so, the "why are you sjws so sensitive, I'm just kidding" era. And I fully thought it was irony, I actually was kidding.
Then the election happened and they all pulled their faces off to reveal grinning skulls underneath, and i experienced that moment from Blade where the guy realizes he's the only human in a vampire rave
I've never been further right than voting democrat, but I used 4chan occasionally for a good decade and I'm convinced that support of Trump's campaign on there was well-understood to be a running joke until people unaware it was a joke started joining to participate. I'll admit I wasn't using it much anymore at all by that time, but when I saw comments about Trump support start popping up the first couple months my thought was "this is hilarious". The idea of actual Trump supporters existing was not something I was capable of imagining at that time.
