The thing about being a contrary dipshit is you don’t have to be consistent.
It’s not contradictory/inconsistent at all, you just aren’t looking at it through the right lens. Wearing your mask during covid did not protect you, it protected others around you from your spittle. This idea is entirely foreign to them, the idea of caring about what happens to other people.
Masks worn for anonymity while being a racist piece of shit, on the other hand, directly protect the wearer by allowing them to escape the consequences of being identified. This concept of saving one’s own ass, and nobody else’s, does resonate very strongly with them.
When you view it through the lens of being a selfish asshole, it’s very coherent and consistent.
If there’s one thing the right is really good at, it’s pathological hypocrisy. They’d probably self combust if they couldn’t do it.
The same assholes refused to wear masks when it protected our vulnerable.
They murdered people over that. Now, they wear masks.
You all know what to do.
Reposing from earlier. I’ll also add that while some activists use masks to protect against a dangerous government, these sad sacks are using them to hide from normal people and their communities.
In light of the popularity of these images in response to their stunt, I’d like so share this. It discusses the Australian neo-Nazi equivalent org (the totally-for-real disbanded National Socialist Network), but the message is universal.

So let’s talk about Patriot Front:
- Leader is a trust fund kid
- Their messaging server and other comms were repeatedly hacked
- They unwittingly hired an antifascist to be their official photographer, which needless to say, allowed activists to gather evidence and resulted in multiple PF members losing their jobs, and attempting to sue as a result (Plaintiffs Paul Gancarz, Daniel Turetchi, Colton Brown, James Johnson, and Amelia Johnson vs. David Alan Capito II)
- Antifascists have repeatedly ambushed them, including locating their secret car park where they hopped into a U-Haul to go to a rally
- There are videos of them getting beaten into retreat in Philly when they tried to march
- There are videos of the Proud Boy fascists attacking up PF-splinter members (‘Rose City Nationalists’) and ripping off their balaclavas
- There was an incident where a regional leader “spent the money on drugs” [source: a neo-Nazi drama podcast called The Absolute State of White Nationalism]
- They so poorly planned an action against an antifascist neighborhood, that when retreating, a member almost got hit by a train [same source]
- They stopped allowing women when two of three woman members snitched (one of them cheating on a member first) [same source]
- They stopped allowing teenagers to join (still grooming them, they just can’t officially join) due to a ‘homosexual femboy’ incident, whatever that means [same source]
- Their training videos show such incompetence that they literally can’t turn the correct direction when marching [you can find their training videos on the Patriot Fail leak]
- At least former one member, when identified as Dillon Oakes, tried to snitch on their org and pretend they were undercover the whole time - “While we do work with former white nationalists who sincerely want to leave the movement, Nazis who pretend to have never been Nazis to escape consequences do not qualify.”
Plenty more, might add some more in replies.
Luckily, they’re going to suffocate and die since they can’t breathe with a mask on. Any minute now…
Cause they’re pussies.
All you zombies hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin’ in high places
The rain’s gonna fall on youI believe many of them called it a “Fauci ouchie”.
Nice shnoz
They took inspiration from Anitfa
More right than you think: antifascists have consistently infiltrated US neo-fascist groups and released their dox, getting members kicked from high-paying/influential jobs, run out of town and other social fallout. So PF took up this technique as a result of antifas… before unwittingly hiring one to be an official photographer and getting revealed.
Nice
Anita has the best fashion tips. Love her.
Because they’re CIA plants…
They’re nowhere near fat enough to be your typical American alt-right so I’ve always personally thought they were ICE, CIA, FBI, and other 3 letter alphabet field agent people. Probably military in there too
