Cute, upvoting 8 insightful and 8 funny. Gotta work that nazi symbolism in so we all get how very edgy y'all are.

And at Saidit, I've received responses from users quoting lines of the 88 Precepts (or LXXXVIII Precepts)

How do you even explain that to family and friends? Yeah, I believe strongly in a white only nation, you gonna eat the rest of those jalapeno poppers?

Or is it a whole family affair. Whats up Mom? I'm good dear, I'm just baking pies and hating jews. That's nice, mom, same as usual then.

Are the kids involved, I imagine homeschooling in some sort of militia setting. Which actually sounds kinda fun. You think they'll let me visit their compound and shoot some guns?

Great examples.

There is a long history of people growing up listening to racist language, as a normative form of discourse, though without hearing the words I believe in a white-only nation. This kind of comment is the however at the root of the values of some of them, even if they are not aware of it. What I see in 88 Precepts is a mixing of this normative language with unsruprising notes on natural law and comments that are completely false. It merely restates eugenics in terms of contemporary political discourse, among other hideous ideas. What's subversive about all of this - and the joy of visiting a gun range with people who look the same - is that it supports one's narcissism, self actualization and sense of belonging, as has happened for many Tump supporters. But of course there is a serious shadow cost to all of this, one that has the same group violently reacting to people who are not in their group, as if the 'other' is dangerous for their way of living. So this becomes the norm for many in the US: Yeah, I believe strongly in a white only nation, you gonna eat the rest of those jalapeno poppers?

I'll take your word for it on "88 precepts," I hadn't planned on reading it.

Eugenics as a practice is deplorable. Many evil things have been done for the cause. I think Germany originally got the idea from the US. But... The core idea to breed better people, I can see how that's desirable.

You don't have to agree with a man's philosophy to shoot guns with him.
