That was a thing. Hey, if enough people think something is cute or funny, they'll slap that material anywhere. And then it will eventually stick.

The irony is... The God Emperor of Mankind created the worst time in the history of Humanity. They don't even get that Nurgle came through by the way made by their God Emperor...

I mean the creator had to take people to court to make them stop using it as a Nazi so there's that.

Pepe the Frog’s Creator Goes Legally Nuclear Against the Alt-Right

No I get that, what I don't get is why anyone goes along with it. And this ties back into my problem with the proud boys and gay culture. We all see it. We all know what they're doing. No one is being tricked into think Proud Boys are gay, or Pepe is in the SS. It defeats the purpose to a smock screen/hijacking campaign if you openly broadcast it.

Fuck boys used Pepe to be a nazi meme. When asked about it, the creator should have said its fucking dumb and I don't agree with it. Boom. Done. Its over. No amount of shit posting nazi pepe will overcome 'its fucking dumb'.

No I get that some people said God Emperor of Mankind Trump. But then Games Workshop said no, he's not Trump...and...and that's it. It was over. The edgelords had peaked, and were soundly told no.

So apparently one of the guys is named Brandon Caserta and this is a video of him.


And it's been pointed out that in the background of this very video is an Anarchist symbol.

So... who's "side" are these guys supposed to be on?

It's pretty normal for Far right nutjobs to try to appropriate left iconography and language, for examples of this look at my post above for the example of Free Market Capitalists stealing the word Libertarian and there's the very obvious example of the National Socialist Party of Germany AKA the Nazis, that were so not socialists that they were fascists so that isn't weird.
Anyways, that being said that does align with some form of Anarchist belief, thought that seems to be self-defeating as we want the Working Class on our side which isn't going to be achieved if they think we're terrorists.

I thought I had written Radical Leftists, but anyway doesn't matter I'm working and I'm barely paying attention to what I'm writing, I'm sure that's not going to bite me in the ass later.
But sure whatever, it's just that you've become too popular Revy, and as such you've become a figure of authority and as an Anarchist it's my duty to destroy all authority figures without any exceptions.
I legit think that's what most people think Anarchists are.

The issue I take with " Nurse" is not that there is anything wrong with being a nurse, I love nurses and have worked with a great many that I would do anything in the world for. It is that as a woman, men have a mental association with women in healthcare as being " nurses" instead of physicians even AFTER men are told repeatedly that the woman is a Physician, as was the case here. There is a long sexist history of this is the issue. I could have saved myself a great amount of money, time and effort to become a nurse, but I had to go through a hell of a lot more to earn the ability for me to become a pediatrician at all and people mentally associate far too often that not just me, but most female Physicians are nurses automatically rather than acknowledging us for who we are.

Oh, I guess that makes sense, it's a problem I'll admit I'm aware of but I guess I just know more nurses than doctors so since some of them complain about elitism by doctors I thought of the other thing first.

There are nurses who decide to go back to school and become physicians themselves, It is not so much " elitism" as having to have worked so hard for something, even the nurses who go back to school to become physicians as well, to then have everyone ignore that extra work you put in when women had to fight very hard to even be able to be allowed to do this at all. Sexism in Medicine is still very much a problem women deal with daily.

Though the first woman in the U.S. to earn a medical degree graduated in 1849, it would take more than a century for “doctor” to become an acceptable career move for women.

Sexism in medicine is alive and well partly—because we think otherwise

Medicine sees itself as progressive when it comes to gender equity. But women's experiences in the field suggest there is a long way to go.

Sexism in medical care: “Nurse, can you get me another blanket?”

One weekday afternoon, you begin bedside patient rounds after listening to a seminar on “Women in Medicine”: in your opinion, a somewhat antiquated topic in the new era of modern, equitable health care. The routine is predictable yet impressive as you weave from room to room: a thoughtful

Male doctors refused to allow women to be their equals let alone their supervisors, male doctors walked out and did everything possible to try and prevent it, it is still an ongoing issue this many years later.

Ok, I know that we're in a forum talking about 6 guys in a militia trying to kidnap a governor, but this is literally the stupidest thing I've read in a long while.

Huh, this thread has 7 pages already. Well, I guess that a right wing attempt to overthrow part of the US government is worthy of much discussion and...

Sigh.

Them walking out and leaving though is still preferable to what the ones who stay and don't want women to be there do instead:
