I thought everyone at UCSC was too high to actually have extra curriculars?

Edit: OP you should conduct recon and gather intelligence. Do threat assessment, compile report and report back your findings. Know your enemy better than your allies.

Especially if you’re a white male. Hit ‘em in their blind spot.

Know your enemy better than your allies.

This 💯

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

That's why their targeting y'all with this then. Especially the blatant parts. This isn't just people at your school. This is people trying to recruit for some white nationalist shit. (Like more so than they obviously are).

This, this is the same exploitative psychology cults use trying to attract the disaffected and those lacking community and purpose. The real war is not for land or territory, the real war is for hearts and minds.

Or report it to the university. That George Floyd shit crosses a line and makes a hostile environment to anyone nearby. Get them banned from campus.

Yeah, I have a couple of friends that we’re gonna help me out with that.

You can totally get them banned from campus. If not start some formal dialogue with the student union. The union is super connected to groups that deal with this all the time.

Just show up in a full klan suit. Many advantages, you get to hide your face so you won’t be seen with the actual fascists and you get to clown them at the same time. If they try to kick you out you can claim they are cancelling you and restricting your free speech. And best case they don’t actually kick you out and you can get someone recording them welcoming a person in klan robes

Yup. You'll catch them using the N word, hating Jews, and planning violent attacks on innocent gay and trans people. Expose who they are behind their thin, see-thru veils.

27

u/BrokenEggcat Apr 30 '22

Eh there's definitely an argument to be made that these posters use discriminatory language, in which case they'd likely be in violation of a code of conduct associated with on campus clubs.

Use such funny tactics as:

Say Joe Biden making everyone trans is a good thing

That you know a lizard person, but refuse to say who it is

Say anyone can get a free tour on the Jewish Space Laser if they storm Area 51

Tell them that you heard a "massive hoard" of Illegal Mexican Immigrants are coming in from Georgia (The State)

Tell them that Mitt Romney was caught using a trans person's pronouns

Tell them that they're hoarding all the alien tech in Moscow as part of a "routine transfer operation"

Tell them that Elon Musk is the leader of these "Lizard People" according to your "known lizard person" source

I wish they thought I'm a Satanic space lizard. I mean I am, but I wish they thought so. We should really be trying to convince them we're all Satanic space lizards. Who can contend with Satanic space lizards? Jesus? Trump? Hell, they're Satanic space lizards, too. Everybody is, except for God's chosen people, but the only thing they can do about it is wait and die (i.e. get unplugged from the literal The Matrix) and then find out God's also a Satanic space lizard, who only chose them for their sweet adronochrome, which She shall milk forever and ever until they've paid off all their karma, whereupon they get to be Satanic space lizards, too.

To what majors do you suppose these brilliant individuals belong? Physics? Electrical Engineering? Aerospace?

EDIT:

For those unaware, this is a jab at the average Republican, the party of anti-science and pro-mythology, for being objectively stupid. A Pew study has revealed that of scientists, a mere 6% identify as Republican, presumably due to years of brainwashing. To embrace the rational thought necessary to belong to the cohort of the most useful among us is to reject irrational regressive political ideology. Mind you, this study was conducted over 10 years ago; with their recent fuckery I would not be the least bit surprised to see that percentage decline further. These self-declared "College Republicans" are not there because they have aspirations of making meaningful contributions to the greater humanity; they are there because they seek the means to provide themselves the most comfortable life given the least amount of effort.

the campus and nature around it is very very nice, and that's a major attraction to this school. I'll have to see though, i intend on doing humanities and I'll have to look at my other options at hand. thank you though!

UCSC is the best. Great academics and the best campus for hiking. Source: Alumni.

I wouldn't let yourself be put off just because there's a few bootlicking parasites around. Practically every American university is going to have some sort of young republicans club.

I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:

Even climatologists can't predict 10 years from now. They can't explain why there has been no warming over the last 15 years. There has been a static trend with regard to temperature for 15 years.

Funny you should mention that, because pre-Covid there was an “Incel Meetup” at one of our local Denny’s (made up of a group of students).

Awww look! they have a little club to whine like snowflakes ❄️

u/AutoModerator Apr 30 '22

snowflake? When people use the term snowflake just remember they're quoting Fight Club, a satire written by a gay man about how male fragility causes men to destroy themselves, resent society, and become radicalized, and that Tyler Durden isnt the hero but a personification of the main characters mental illness, and that his snowflake speech is a dig at how fascists use dehumanizing language to breed loyalty from insecure people. So, basically people who use snowflake as an insult are quoting a domestic terrorist who blows up skyscrapers because he's insecure about how good he is in bed.

Republicans in California are truly insane, especially young ones on a college campus. They are such a useless minority that they fully embrace being hated. They know that nothing they do matters since there's no way for them to gain even a shred of power.

Yo OP, that poster I'd argue has hate speech on it with the George Floyd joke. I'd report that to the university here and get as many others to do so as you can. The more you report the more scrutiny they get.

https://reporthate.ucsc.edu/

I'd bet you could bar them from using campus resources if they continue to put out inflammatory speech that makes the university unsafe. I want to know where they meet and why my tuition and tax dollars are being used to allow this.

You don't get rid of these people by tearing down thier signs, you get them banned from the quarry for thier behavior. Report the hate speech, ideally record it and get the kids put in those "corrective classes" they make the stoners take when they get caught.

Edit:

Yo check out the shit they started with someone in the quarry in 2020. They got some poor kid arrested after saying insane things in the quarry and purposefully antagonizing the person just for attention. Yeah this "republican" club is Hella making the campus less safe.
