For me the easiest tell is the up front, unprompted, and unsolicited declaration of nonpoliticalness. When someone takes the time and expends the breath to announce how nonpolitical they are, what follows is almost always a rant about how everything/everyone else is too political these days, and that of course leads into something between status quo advocacy and outright reactionary/regressive sentiments for some fabled time before those wicked politics were visible to the nonpolitical ranter. centrist

People that are hostile to service workers. Some just want to take some ideological stand against tipping when the service worker doesn't really have a choice and needs those tips to survive in the current unjust system in a way where ideological purity gestures toward that service worker just look like being a greedy and sanctimonious asshole. The worst of such people will actually declare, shamelessly, that they believe that service workers don't deserve a living wage. The implications of that are gulag worthy.

I may get shit for this, but I'll say it anyway: this hair and beard combo, seen on living people. yes-chad I have yet to meet anyone in person with that look that wasn't a chud.

(If one of you is a comrade with that look, I am sorry in advance for the prejudice and if I ever meet you in person I will atone by buying you a drink or something.)

That P R E S T I G E T V viking show that featured the yes-chad look was farcically awful to me, and it was rich how the usual "historical accuracy" us-foreign-policy enforcers were silent about it. I've even gotten some people claiming that "we can't be sure" how vikings really had their hair done up but I highly doubt they had the equipment to maintain that look while raiding even if they knew about it and wanted to. I know it encouraged a lot more chuds to pick up the look, too.

Better chance of that than yes-chad and I stand by that.

I'd like to imagine a viking using some Flintstones-ass clippers filled with bees or something to even attempt cutting their hair like yes-chad

I still thought it was better than the imitators that have followed it, just because most of them are from the perspective of the demon english

Jesus Christ, my sideburns are an inch or two away from looking like that. No wonder my barber dialed it back on my faux-hawk.

I knew about the likes of spencer and robinson popularizing it in late 10s, but goddamn

I think it's really just men with that hairstyle

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I haven't seen it on many women, but now that I think about it, it might look cool and comrade potential is unknown.

It's usually fashionable lesbians so

[–] Othello@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

i wouldn't say fashionable, maybe in 2015. and its definitely no longer a queer thing, every white women and their mother had an under cut ten years ago.

Any haircut that looks like something you would’ve seen 100 years ago
