Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

It seems CNN did excellent research in tying Mark Robinson to minisoldr.

And this article is very revealing, and shows how gross, sick this individual is. There's something really wrong with him.

The article is disturbing - and it's worth noting that CNN has withheld more evidence that is evidently much more disturbing. Goodness....

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep.

If he had something like a normal healthy interest in sex, even with a bit of a kink, nobody would care.

Announcing that you're a Nazi and pro-slavery is the problem here.

[–] kescusay 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's also the hypocrisy. He's into porn with trans women.

[–] idiomaddict 20 points 1 month ago

The majority of porn with trans women is aggressively fetishized and dog-whistley to blatantly transphobic. I’m honestly not surprised that someone who consumes it is a transphobe.

being in NC, i'm glad this came out before the election. but being in NC, i can tell you: the people who need to read the article most, won't

[–] Areldyb 13 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Thankfully Josh Stein seems to be well-positioned to win this one... as long as everybody gets up off their ass and votes

It’s really a testament to trump that this will not be the end of this disgusting bastard’s political career. Heck it may even help him.

Maaaaan... I could never run for office. I'm not a Nazi, but they'd find my old furry art in 12 seconds.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Honestly, furry art wouldn't even be remarkable as a scandal at this point.

[–] teft 33 points 1 month ago

Yeah, we have a couch fucker running for vice president. Furries are nothing.

Gotta be a special type fucktard to declare yourself a black Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fascism, oddly enough, does not discriminate.

Fascist, however, do.

Choice quotes:

Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few

I’d take Hitler over any of the sh*t that’s in Washington right now!

I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!

Maybe this will come off as armchair psychology, but I really believe that part of what motivates conservative, and especially far-right sentiment in men is just sexual frustration.

We've seen so many instances of Nazis being outed as gay or as chasers, so many incels who blame women for all the ills of the world, and so many guys who have a "blacked" or "white extinction" fetish are staunchly racist.

We can respond in a number of ways to rejection, or any other negative experience for that matter, and some people respond with aggression.

Women don't find me attractive? Well it must be either their or society's fault. Or maybe the blacks are at fault for taking all the white women.

I can't be gay in my religion or conservative social circle? Well the gays must be sinful groomers then, and should be second class citizens or outright eradicated.

Once again this is probably just armchair psychology on my part, but this may be part of why we're seeing conservatism increase among young men as younger generations are having less sex.

It would take an epic fuckton of time and money to create an elaborate fake connection that CNN found here.

Archived website data, publicly available information, and the clear lack of self awareness really make it hard for him to deny.

What I don't understand is where he could have developed these ideas from. Like Uncle Ruckus would be proud of him

[–] sarcasticsunrise 31 points 1 month ago

And of course he used his full fucking name on a porn site. That's so dense that it has to be true. What an idiot 🤣 He's so cooked

[–] donnager 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It’s the people you suspect the most. Republican party is full of this trash.

GOP: "It's only political rhetoric and divisiveness to say that we're extremists and Nazis."

GOP politician and official nominee: "I'm a Nazi porn addict who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote."

This guy's career will end because he said the quiet part out loud...

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I am sure that his fellow hard-right master race ethnostate enthusiasts will be happy to enslave his ass much to his pleasure and delight.

This guy is giving off hard raceplay gaykink vibes.

NC-GOV Leans D to Likely D

[–] negativenull 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This could help flip NC to Harris (with 16 EC votes)

[–] dhork 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, if Harris wins NC then it becomes much harder for Trump to get to 270, even if he ratfucks the vote in GA

Like, I knew this guy was a piece of shit, but I at least thought it was performative for the base.

Nah, he's ALWAYS been a piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Republicans: Naziism was a left wing ideology! It means National Socialist Workers Party!!1!

Also Republicans: I'm a Nazi, all hail Trump!

Everyone said that the road to the white house runs through Pennsylvania. However, it looks like if Harris gets NC, she can loose Penn. What a turn that the first woman president gets elected because of what a man said on a porn site.

holy shit that was a ride. That poor man hates himself

Trump is a Nazi sympathizer so they are a good pair.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

I mean, commenting on a porn forum kinda comes across as a red flag anyway. Not really the place I expect to find wholesome content and community interactions.

Why are they all like this?

“This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me,” Robinson said. Presented with the litany of evidence connecting him with the minisoldr user name on Nude Africa, Robinson said, “I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.”

I can explain it, I work on the campaign as a media adviser.

See, the flux capacitor is the key. You drive this car up to 88mph and then bam! CNN's reporters go back in time, ten years into the past, to manufacture this account. They keep living in the past for years, posting the fraudulent "evidence" that Mr Robinson is anything but the wonderful, kind, caring individual that he is. Zip back forward in time and write this article to slander Mr Robinson and try to pretend that they didn't make the whole thing up.

Gotcha! Your move, CNN.

[–] robocall 11 points 1 month ago

I can honestly say I've never commented on a porn site.

[–] sturmblast 11 points 1 month ago

I mean... if you grew up on the internet like I did. "Welcome to the internet" is in order here.
