Warhammer 40k. I like to paint little green guys and then move them around a battlefield.
A good half of the poeple in this hobby are almost entirely irredeemable
Offroading.
Like, I just want to spend too much money breaking my truck to go play in the mud or camping in the middle of nowhere on the weekend, not throw massive alcohol fueled frat parties in the desert and annihilate the environment in my jacked-up, curb princess of a Ram covered in a thousand miniature suns and “
Don’t tread on mePlease tread on me, daddy” stickersAirsoft.
It’s so fun but also run mostly by straight up Nazis.
Not as bad, but people interested in Ancient Greece / Rome / classical studies tend to be somewhat conservative. It’s (to some extent) the only part of academia which is overtly conservative.
But yeah, you can do a lot worse, that’s relatively mild
“Well, I like Immigrant Song.”
I like shooting and having guns.
Cryptography.
Does programming count as a hobby? I waste my free time on it… There’s this funny stereotype, of a queer programmer with long, quirky socks, and maybe even a fursona. Despite being a small percentage, such types are often overrepresented online. It used to bother me a little.
Nowadays I’m so, so glad when someone I’m talking to is part of that group. It usually means I don’t need to worry about them being weirdly sexist, like women don’t suffer enough in the industry, or insisting that we need to keep politics out of tech (i.e. they want their politics to rule, unquestioned).
Silly feelings on my part? Perhaps. One less thing to worry about, though.
I’m not in this picture, and I don’t like it. What about stapler collecting?
What if all of the above?
Well green is yellow and blue, and red is just another primary color. If you mix it together you get a black flag and it means ye be a pirate matey!
Amateur Radio.
The first video I found on Baofeng Radio guides is on a youtube channel run by some right winger that sounds like a SovCit, who makes “jokes” about people who wear mask and have this “gay humor”.
Like bruh
(I mean, I guess it makes sense. Right-wing “anarchists” are skeptical of “government control” and are the type of people to want to use radios instead of smartphones. Buts its ironic that encryption is illegal… But I assume they probably just ignore the “no encryption” rule anyways since they are a SovCit.)
Old school games enjoyer: “Games used to be awesome… modern games are garbage”
🚨
Morrowind is better than Skyrim
😎
I particularly enjoy the telvanni lore
🚨
Great you’re going to make me install Morrowind again
Whyd you ever uninstall it?
If they enjoy saying N’wah a little too much, that might be a red flag.
To be honest dark elves are either bloodthirsty capitalists, bigoted isolationists, conservative acolytes or all of the above. What a wonderful people <3… ekhm of course, how outrageous
Hard to swallow pill that not all ESIII fans are cool
You see, this is the crux. They are cool. They are cooler than you. Also, they identify as Dunmer so they are inherently superior racially than the farming tools in particular but also any other race really
Try being into permaculture and hydroponics
What’s funny is that while Vikings are mostly remembered for their warrior culture, their success as a diaspora came more from their merchant and sailing culture. THEY were the ‘immigrants.’
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new landsMerchants in this case translates to slavers, so Nazis can feel right at home in that regard. Your point still stands tough.
I’m a white, Christian, male firearms enthusiast from Texas.
That’s a tough combination when I’m also extremely leftist.
You are one mini stroke from switching teams aggressively.
In all fairness, male firearms are the shit 😉
This is my rifle, this is my gun?
You want a fun read look up the official ATF inquiry letters about the “tactical fleshlight” where they’re asking if it counts as a stock or a brace, making it either a short-barreled rifle or a pistol.
I think Christian Leftists are based and cool, you’re basically THE Christians who care about what Christ actually wanted for us, but also because you’re on the Left you run into r/Atheist type chuds all the time, meaning you work with people who are hostile to you because you know that it’s the right thing to do.
That’s pretty based and cool.
I’m not Christian myself, I learn more Buddhist in my spirituality, and even then I’m more agnostic on my ideas about God, but there’s a lot I legitimately respect about the faith.
Buddhism isn’t a theological religion. There simply is no god in Buddhism. There are gods, yes, but they are just part of Samsara, the cycle of birth and rebirth, like everybody else.
So beeing agnostic is right in point in that regard, if not even completly atheistic.
I did differentiate my spirituality from my ideas on God for a reason.
Why only a “male firearms enthusiast”, what about the female firearms? Maybe your not as big of a leftist as you thought.
Anytime someone starts dropping Warhammer lore, or shows a love of Boomer Shooters, I know I’m going to despise that person or they’ll be my best friend, no middle ground, and I don’t even like Warhammer.
What the fuck is wrong with boomer shooters?
Boomer Shooters themselves are great.
The problem are the people who “Only play games before they got all woke!”
Lmao, I gotcha. 😂
What’s wrong with boomer shooters?? The whole genre was founded on killing nazis
Tell that to the nazi enjoyers
I hear Nazis enjoy breathing too! Whelp, guess we have to suffocate now!
Yes let’s let assholes poison our views of innocuous hobbies. That will show them. /s
We shouldn’t reinforce their echo chamber. Better to just do whatever makes you happy and deal with the assholes as they reveal themselves.
