My new favorite far-right Twitter weirdo is a fellow called @WesternIdentity, a self-described “right wing urban theologian” and “esoteric image cleric” who uses his Twitter account to promote “occult nationalism,” complain that “underground heretical judaism has pushed cuckoldry into our society,” express his love of skittles and post assorted gifs involving Trump getting the better of CNN.
I discovered @WesternIdentity earlier this week after he launched a tirade against the alleged diabolical evil that is short hair on women.

Yeah, that’s right, he’s getting all philosophical on our asses.

He then decided to “rebrand” the cute-sounding pixie cut.

As longtime readers of this blog know well, @WesternIdentity is hardly the first reactionary doofus to declare war on the pixie cut and short hairdos for women generally.
But he may be the first pixie-cut hater to also suggest that Chelsea Manning — currently sporting, yes, a pixie cut — is some kind of MK Ultra mind control slave, or something.

It turns out that @WesternIdentity has a lot of, well, interesting opinions about all sorts of stuff, including Satanic CNN pedophiles, which he apparently thinks are a real thing.

Oh, but this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I honestly have no idea if this one is a joke:

He does post some pretty dank gifs from time to time, though.

H/T — @spookperson
Satan, now I want a harpycut.
Also, I am super psyched. I am Big Sister to someone of Mexican-heritage and her quinceanera is going to be amazing. Just have to wait for 4 more years…
@Friendly Neighborhood Dragon Arthur
Likewise, he also sounds like the guy who would freak out about men with long hair
who wear in it in some kind of ponytail or another.FTFY, clearly ponytailness would make no difference to this man’s likely incoming rant over long hair on men. Legolas would probably scare the pee out of him. “His hair reaches his nipples, Legolas is clearly part of the feminist gender conspiracy”
ETA: All-One Hairstyle! Dilute!
@dreemr, did you see the video clip where Mrs. Macron leaned in for the cheek-kiss and he grabbed her shoulders and then grabbed her hand and kept her from pulling away? Ugh, so awful.

Sombrero Golem?
A bit racist, but I found a sombrero gollum

I frakkin love spookperson, thats all i have to say about this maybe poe.
I always wanted a Jimi Hendrix haircut, but I’m too white to pull that off so I’ll settle for a Bob Dylan haircut.
@Scildfreja – I did indeed. Extra-gross, she’s a very petite person and then you have predator Drumpf just manhandling her.
He’s just so awful. This kind of thing is waaay out of line.
Latest news: Trump planning to invite Putin to White House, but not right now, because politics.
Hello!
I am back from a long lurking absence, summoned by this Sombrero Golem ritual.
As an actual Mexican person (who is currently a US citizen) SRSLY guys? You were holding out on me? I spent these parties dancing to cheesy salsa music, eating pastelitos, and avoiding drunk relatives? And instead I could have been performing the blood sacrifice that would summon the vengeful specter of Tezcatlipoca GOD OF STRIFE AND SUFFERING! HE OF THE NEAR AND FAR! POSSESSOR OF THE SKY AND EARTH! ENSLAVER OF THE PEOPLE BORN OF TAMALES AND SEER OF THE BROKEN MIRROR?
Plus a Sombrero Golem dancing on an American flag to El Baile del Beeper? I really missed out.
Seriously though, he does know that most of the other Hispanic traditions do quinceañeras too right?
Well, I don’t know much about Sombrero Golems, but I DO know about Sombrero Gundams!

I’m fine with “Harpy-cut”. I’ve been playing JRPGs for decades. I am sexually attracted to every monstergirl known to mankind. (And harpies must give nice, downy cuddles!)
@Freemage
Anti-Christ Bender FTW!!!
@everyone
This Twitter thread is highly amusing; it’s like a game of ‘spot the dodgy Youtuber’. Here are just two of the gems:
Some versions of D&D made the harpies look creepy. Some versions just made them look rad.
And the Ronja harpies look REALLY rad.

Wow, this guy just took all sorts of religions and cultures and just shat all over them to make one big ball ‘o confused awful.
Guess I must be really evil since I love pixie cuts, and don’t believe in his definition of demons… I mean I’m all about the Occult for fun and prophet, but I don’t think he’s really all that okay with it, or even understands it.
That second harpy has long hair, which leads me to wonder if @WesternIdentity would approve or disapprove.
#LengthGoals
I like
pixieharpy cuts, I’m just too lazy/cheap to go to the salon to keep it maintained. Good thing I also like long hair.OT, but two of the Alexanders have been named!
Smoky guy is Joseph Pawtucket Alexander.
The poly Siamese boy’s name is Lloyd Chudly Alexander.
The little girl kitty’s naming rights should be up for auction now.
HAHA!! This makes me want to get my hair cut into a pixie cut again just to spite him. 😀 I had a pixie cut until recently and I loved it. The fact that it would keep guys like him away from me only adds to the appeal.
@Chief Manitee
Thanks for the clarification, I’m not sure how I got those mixed up. On the topic of short hair for women, there’s this one kind of look that I think looks really cool…
http://www.socialbliss.com/assets/user_images/pic_1019_1341226809.jpg
While in my head I imagine there would be a bit more spikiness, this is what I’m thinking of.
@JS
I’ve actually had people comment on my ponytail, wondering what my sexuality was because of it. But yes, in general, there’s a big phobia it seems of guys having long hair despite the fact that elves and orcs have rocked long hairstyles in fiction and that a good chunk of Nordic and Northern Asian cultures see long hair on men as a good thing.
Hmmm, now I wonder what happen if we talked about bald women? Do you think these guys would completely meltdown about this? Especially with the fact that there are women out there who can pull off a bald look really well? (It’s all about the shape of the head).
Unfortunately, I’m too fixated on hair to talk about Sombrero Golems…
=(
They eat children (white genocide) and live in a cave up in the mountains (matriarchy) so the balance is probably against them.
Pixie cuts? Really? These obnoxious pedants always think they’re the second coming of Socrates, and then they pick the absolute lowest anthill to die on. The world has many thorny problems, but women’s personal grooming choices aren’t one of them.
I’m guessing he got shot down by a Hot Topic cashier.
I think we’re starting to forget what “poe” means.
@Virgin Mary, that link was quite informative. I am fascinated, if appalled. Thank you (I think).
Also, if I had the confidence, I would shave my head. These hair decisions/wars/mundanities get on my last nerve.

I think I need to watch this. Not with the kids. But soon.
My brother and I … we maybe watched The Last Unicorn just a bit too young.
Brrrr.
