I once met an AWB member. Actual quote: “We don’t hate racial slur. Don’t think we hate racial slur.” Just as casual as talking about a cup of tea.

Holy shit. I think that’s my hometown. I’m not even kidding.

The irony here is that Starship Troopers is pretty damn fashy, and a lot of the manosphere leans in that direction as well. So it does ring true, in an odd way.
