Well. **Reddy** , I had some empathy for you because I know things aren’t the greatest for you. But I see now why your family is estranged from you. You really do sound like you’re coming unhinged and I don’t mean that in a patronizing way. Please just step back from whatever you’re reading, watching, and from posting on this board. I hope you’ll focus on something besides anger and politics. We all love a good train wreck, but this one is scary. ---

For whatever reason, politics just brings out this other person. I get so worked up in it and so fucking enraged. Politics is like a drug. I don’t watch sports, I don’t watch soap operas, so for me politics is the equivalent. My family is estranged from me for reasons that actually are not of my own making. They’re genuinely unkind people. Actually, their estrangement, and their lifelong favoritism of others over me, is part of what festers my anger. When I’m talking about movies or TV or music, I’m a nice person. It’s like there’s two me’s. Which is sad, really. ---

If it brings out the worst in you, stay away from it. Why feed the anger? It’s not doing you or anyone else any good. I like the other **Reddy**. This one, I don’t. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > In the case of that last thread (“Who are good white-male historical figures?”), he eventually [disavowed the thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20455054#post20455054), calling it “stupid and immature”. And then he had an [apology thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=835219), in which he claimed to be “not a Nazi, nor a Nazi-sympathizer, nor a Confederate sympathizer, nor a Neo-Confederate, nor a white supremacist of any sort, nor a Fascist or Fascist sympathizer of any sort.” > > And then he starts yet another bullshit thread (i.e., this one). I knew he was a troll when he claimed to like Brutalist architecture. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt previously, as a slightly immature but sincere twenty-something surrounded by idiots. After the umpteenth thread where he indulges paranoid alt-right and manosphere fantasies and talking points about “SJWs”, I have difficulty believing he is not a troll. Any good recipes? ---

For some reason, **Reddy** reminds me of the Billy Joel song “Angry Young Man.” _And there’s always a place for the angry young man With his fist in the air and his head in the sand He’s never been able to learn from mistakes He can’t understand why his heart always breaks His honor is pure, and his courage as well He’s fair and he’s true, and he’s boring as hell And he’ll go to his grave as an angry old man._ ---

My mother - I swear this on my dead grandfather - always said the same exact thing. That that song could apply to me. You’re honestly not the first to say that. My own mother used to. Jesus. What could’ve been if my dad had actually loved me…Fuck. ---

You seem to have no idea of how to use it correctly, even as an insult. The Nazis hated pretty much everyone who didn’t conform to some mystical ideal of a superhuman, with Occult-ish overtunes about the lost civilization of Thule, whose whole creed was based around the hatred of Jews and extermination of both the Jews and anyone deemed undesirable…Which is why I get pretty angry when called such. Love the Jews, don’t hate gays, don’t hate the disabled. I lean in my worst moments toward Fascist overtones but of the Franco variety. I don’t approve of Hitler or Nazism. Whatever good Hitler might have done in his life was vastly outdone by T-4 and the Holocaust. Calling someone a Nazi is not a charge that should be taken lately. It’s a way overused word in political speech, especially as of late. Like Trump. I don’t think he’s a Nazi. I don’t think he could even tell you anything about Fascism or Hitler, really, if you asked him. I think he has supporters who are Neo-Nazis, but I think he fancies himself a strongman with no real ideology. He’s most akin to a Russian oligarch than anything else. Hitler and Mussolini had, for all their evil, ideologies which drove their actions. Trump’s incompetent because he is driven by whatever impulse he has at the moment. He has nothing to drive him outside of momentary gain. Trump’s only ideology is what best serves Trump. I don’t think Trump is even necessarily a true White Nationalist. Steve Bannon may have been, but Trump just strikes me of a class of his own. He’s a Trump Nationalist. I think he just sides with the White Nationalists because they’re the only diehard supporters he has. If the LGBT community was his base I think he’d pander to them just as hard. ---

> [@Reddy\_Mercury](#): > > I will live to see the U.S. become akin to Rhodesia. Like having a leader that gives the thumbs up to white racists, supremacists and seperatists? You’re already there; Trump is more like Ian Smith than you realise. Or did you mean Zimbabwe with Mugabe at the helm? For a 27 year old American to refer to Zimbabwe as “Rhodesia” is more than a little odd, it strongly implies that you’re getting your news from rabidly far-right websites. Maybe you should give the Daily Stormer a rest. ---

They will never, ever go away, and will only get bolder as time goes by. I will live to see Mt. Rushmore destroyed. I will live to see problematic films and books outlawed. I will live to see the U.S. become akin to **Rhodesia**. Bolding Mine.

I don’t understand this - wasn’t MTV a music channel that now mainly broadcasts mediocre series for teens and college age adults? What happened? ---
