The first rule of Nazi Fight Club, apparently, is that you do talk about Nazi Fight Club. Yesterday, internet Nazi rag The Daily Stormer announced plans to launch local chapters of an “IRL Troll Army” that will enable righteous white dudes “to prepare for the coming race war.”
As the Daily Stormer’s Andrew Anglin explains, this new “army” will organize in local cells, in which aspiring brownshirts will “build bonds, develop brotherhood,” engage in firearms training, organize anti-Black Lives Matter counterprotests and, oh yeah, learn how to pick up chicks.
While the local cells will be “boys only clubs, not singles meet-ups,” Anglin assures potential recruits that they will learn to “hunt and capture your own women as part of the [club’s regular] operations.”
Indeed, Anglin’s pitch for these perhaps-slightly-deceptively-named Stormer Book Clubs devotes more attention to the Picking Up Chicks issue than it does to the whole learning-how-to-shoot-people business.
Apparently the big trick to winning over the ladies is to AVOID TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU THINK HITLER WAS SUPER COOL. Not every HB8 out there on the streets is an Eva Braun in the making.
As I have said many times, I believe the concept of meeting girls who share your beliefs is idiotic, based mainly on Jewish romantic comedy films. You should instead look for normal girls, with whom you will joke around with and not talk about nazism.
Some of you already have girlfriends, but many do not, and for those that don’t, the groups will provide an opportunity to find one.
Anglin envisions little gangs of secret Nazis going girl-hunting together in the streets of America.
The best way to meet women is to approach them in public places during the day time. And this is a lot easier to do with other guys – both for confidence reasons, and because the girls are more into it. You being part of a group marks you as higher value to a girl, instinctively. She recognizes that if she is with you, it won’t just be you protecting her, but your whole crew.
But Anglin leaves the actual mechanics of girl-capture for a later date.
I will at some point in the near future release a guide with further advice on this issue, in case no one in your group knows the drill. In my experience, about ten percent of guys know how to cold approach women on the street and start talking to them. So there is a good chance you’ll have one in your group who can teach you.
The basic concept is you stop a girl with some sort of inquiry which requires them to engage you and then start with the jokey-jokey.
Presumably Anglin will remind new club members to lay off the Anne Frank jokey-jokes, as these do not tend to go over well with women who are not Nazis.
This isn’t the first time that far-right Trump supporters have talked publicly about taking up arms. Back in March, you may recall, there was a good deal of talk amongst The Donald’s creepier fans about the alleged need for a Trump Militia; potato-headed white supremacist Matt Forney, meanwhile, encouraged his fellow Trump supporters to bring guns to the polls.
This neo-Nazi pickup artistry thing is new, though, at least for Anglin and the Daily Stormer. But it makes a certain sense, at least as a recruiting tool.
Anglin has already started making overtures to Men’s Rights Activist types; not that long ago he devoted a post to the alleged evils of women’s suffrage. Dudes who think that men are the truly oppressed gender are more open than most to the notion that whites are the oppressed race.
Anglin’s attempted annexation of PUAland makes even more sense. With most of the manosphere PUA gurus more or less abandoning “game” advice for outright racism, neo-reactionary bloviating and Trump worship, Anglin may see a golden opportunity to move in and pick up those followers of Roosh and Heartiste who still hunger for some alpha male to teach them how to appeal to the Taylor Swift lookalikes of their dreams by telling jokes and trying their best to avoid any mention of Hitler.
So keep an eye out, gals, for pushy brownshirted wisecrackers, traveling in groups, who keep inexplicably referring to you as “fräulein.”
As a white woman, the idea of a group of white men approaching me and trying to put me in a situation where I’m forced to interact positively with them is fucking terrifying.
I mean, how the fuck do you tell a group of asshole men who think women belong to them “No, thanks”?
They won’t take it kindly, I can tell you that.
In their minds, “property” isn’t supposed to talk back. “Property” is supposed to smile and nod and do as they’re told. And if “property” does decide it wants to talk back, it should be punished.
People already make excuses for men who beat or murder women. I shudder to think about the mental hoops people will jump through to excuse this.
@chesselwitt
I remember those guys! Dimly. But stuff like that does stick in my brain.
Franca Viola is my personal inspiration. The media at the time said that she was the first Italian woman to refuse a forced marriage. Even if she wasn’t the first, she was very brave:
Wikipedia/Bride Kidnapping
PS: She later married the man she loved.
I heartily thank Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Bast, Buddha and Cthulhu that I am the wrong age and ethnicity for these irretrievably stupid sacks of toad smegma to approach me.
Re the mountain man/bride-kidnapping story, are y’all thinking of Kari Swenson?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092506/
They made a movie about it? What am I saying, of course they did. And it has Joe Don Baker, which causes me to immediately start going “wakachika wakachika” thanks to Mystery Science Theater and Mitchell.
Yeah, getting approached by a large group of dudes would probably make me more likely to smile and listen to them… at least until a chance to make a break for it presented itself because HOLY FUCK NO.
I think these guys may be mistaking nervous “shitshitshit let’s appease these people so that they don’t attack me” smiling for actual “oh I’m having such a pleasant conversation I’m glad this person is talking to me” smiling. That or they’re well aware of how intimidating a whole squad of leering dudes is and are taking full advantage of that fact.
Do these clods interact with any real people?
If a bunch of people approach me in a group (instead of one breaking off the group to come talk to me like any reasonable person does) then I’m thinking best case scenario is a joke being played on me “settle a bet” and worst case is I’m about to be jumped.
That’s seriously intimidating to a man, but they can’t rub the two brain cells it would take together to see how scary that is to a woman who doesn’t know you.
If you’re hunting and capturing women, you’re doing this whole dating thing wrong.
Having sex with a Nazi is like building the 1000 year Reich. You get about 1/100 of the promised duration, and it all ends with a sudden, unexpected pull of the trigger.
ROUND! Yo where them Fräuleins at?
@ handsome jack
The black armbands for mourning or remembrance is still a thing here. It’s especially used where you can’t wear full morning attire. So you’ll see it worn with sports kits for example.
http://i1.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article4954425.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/Paris-tributes.jpg
(Just to confuse matters, in football the team captain wears a black armband anyway but that usually says ‘Captain’ on it)
So these guys KNOW that their “crew” is intimidating. That’s the point. They’re supposed to be big and tough and scary enough to dissuade anyone from messing with them.
And women are supposed to find this comforting. Because reasons.
The woman is supposed to magically know that she’s not a target. Well, at least not in the getting-beaten-up way. At least not yet.
It’s the same willful ignorance internet dudebros get into when they go, “Wahhh, some woman was alarmed by my presence, how dare she think all men are potential rapists,” etc. Because only Very Bad Men are rapists, obvy, and this guy is clearly one of the Good Ones, and of course women should be able to tell the difference at a glance. He believes he deserves to be trusted implicitly. He believes that women ought to assume he’s benevolent. (Never mind that these same dudebros are grade-A victim blamers who wouldn’t hesitate to berate a woman for hanging out with the wrong people, and she should have known better, etc.)
“What? Me and my crew ganged up on you and you had the temerity to feel threatened by us, the last remaining bastions of civilization? What gall! You should be able to see that we are Nice Guys(TM)!”
Except in this case the Nice Guys(TM) are literally Nazis, so.
Paris is beautiful in summer. La Défense in particular always fills me with hope for what humanity could be if we learned to reject our worst impulses. This city makes me optimistic.
I hope everyone else is having a great August.
I also hope that Anglin and the PUAs get together and become best friends. They deserve one another, and the rest of us deserve to be rid of them. We have a better tomorrow to build, after all.
Being approached by groups of strange men who force me to engage is in my top ten list of things I hope don’t happen to me while walking down the street. Now there’s a non-zero chance of being approached by Nazi Pua’s? If it weren’t for all the Pokemon, I might swear off going outside.
Kind of reminds me of the old Channel 4 sitcom ‘Fairly Secret Army,’
and the crackpot intentions of Reggie Perrin’s brother in law in the BBC sitcom that spawned the idea…
I’ll pass on Volkemon Go, thanks.
Nothing says “high value” like a group of creeps that have banded together in an attempt to pool their social skills into an approximation of a person. Women love being claimed as property by a collective.
“Normal” girls. Golly, I can’t imagine why there aren’t enough Nazi
breeding vesselsgirls to go around. White supremacy has so much to offer women.If your pickup strategy consists of “suppress your repellant beliefs long enough to trick women into putting out”, maybe it’s time to re-examine your belief system? It’s the equivalent of slapping Axe on a skunky, unwashed armpit.
@ Kevin
You might be into something; although unlike the MRA lot Jimmy was against rapists.
@ buttercup
Brillant! Assume I’ve posted one of those congratulatory meme pictures!
Weren’t they arguing a while back though that spouting Nazi rhetoric was a good pick up technique?
I’m sure these folks will be delighted.

(Billy Graham’s 90th Birthday)
@Tabby Lavalamp:
I hear they make a good concealer for that nowadays.
OMGee, I love that scene from The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. That show was amazingly good. I first saw it as a callow youth in the 80’s when it was first repeated and have only grown to love more as I get older. I have nothing to add to this discussion, just that I love the breadth of folks knowledge about things here, both important and trivial 🙂
Yeah, Graham Senior certainly looks delighted to be photographed in such august company. Graham Junior is the one who’s in bed with the Neo-Nazis, trotting his saintly but senile father out on important campaign stops.
@ varalys
I didn’t get where I am today by not loving Reggie Perrin.
It was both ‘great’ and ‘super’ 🙂
is anybody else picturing a Nazi version of Borat? “HELLO NORMAL HUMAN FEMALE! I AM NOT GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE REICH! INSTEAD I MAKE JOKEY-JOKEY. IS VERRRY NIIIIICE”
Alpine, Rn – Actually I was picturing a concussed Basil Fawlty shouting “Don’t mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it all right.”
