A lot of the alt-right/modern fascism started from the Brooklyn Hipster scene

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

When you think about all this nostalgia from the 60s that was happening in the 90s and the rising nostalgia of the 80s you have this obsession with authenticity and the preservation of elitist elements and the style over the substance we see now

The Neo-Nazis of Hipster Brooklyn



It started as this fascination with all things retro and it turned into this elevation of classical white historical aesthetic with the pursuit of the white male masculine dominance of the time

I dont know why I never put this together... all that shyt of them elevating fascist Rome and the ties to trying to mimic tradition as elevating "real culture" at the expense of everything else and this love of nostalgia, its always some retro racist shyt

hiding behind shallow irony and trolling to hid the overarching attempts at elevating whiteness

The Brooklyn hipster scene didn't start this shyt. Just certain people from that group made it marketable on social media.

4-cac is where it all started, which makes me wonder why are nerds so susceptible to fascist ideology.

Like any nerd centric forum that's not heavily moderated turns into a breeding ground for fascist ideology.

I don't buy this, the leaders of the fascist movement are mostly suburban and rural dweebs with no ties to Brooklyn

Gavin started the hipster shyt and proud boys. Bottom line is any activity that is predominantly white only branches off into white supremacy and homo activity sooner or later.

Isn’t he also one of the founders of Vice?

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

Not surprising at all.... The jokes, trolling and memes you see from the alt right across social media are damn near identical to the trolling and jokes you'd see on Vice before they reestablished themselves this past decade.

Because deep down most racists are hurt, insecure people looking for control, power and validation.

I can see it. I dipped a toe into the retro movement, from the fashion angle (the whole pin up/ 'rockabilly' era). I saw where it was going.

Once you start wearing the clothes, you start wondering what kind of woman wore those clothes, how did she live/ move. Then you start decorating your home in a retro style (hence the trend of 50s kitchen appliances and colorways, bell jars all over pinterest,etc). Once you get all the supplies, you might as well start baking and canning and shyt.

Now you're a "traditional" woman (not really, just compared to modern women). Your man gotta match, so you find one of these newly- "traditional" men (who usually get there through the manosphere). "Traditional" ideas follow, you're now what they call "trad- con."

There was a time period during the Obama years when Harlem was bursting with sahm ww with double strollers. White babies everywhere. Taking leisurely afternoon walks on 125th. Low key felt like pre ados Harlem superimposed over ados Harlem.
