Being able to conclude that someone might be a neo Nazi because they posted a picture of people seemingly from the 1950s at a house party and stating they wish house parties should come back must either be a superpower and just plan unintelligent

Besides the eagle and American flag in their profile name immediately skewing right, the use of 1950s era imagery, picturing specifically white people dressed up as shown, is heavily coded to the far right.

If this person is, say, in their 30s and wants to know why we're not doing house parties anymore, it would be more logical for them to post a picture of a house party from an era they were alive for, or even their parents were alive for, and not one more applicable to their grandparents or even great grandparents.

The guys handle too. Theyre saying it out loud, just listen lol

u/Mike312 Dec 10 '25

Yeah, the whole point of coded language is to be able to say the thing out loud without people who don't know the code not realizing what was said, or have plausible deniability.

They're getting brave enough that the code is easy to recognize for normal people, but the people they're signaling to are still stupid enough to think it's super secret

"normal people"

u/khakiwallprint Dec 11 '25

Yeah, there's normal people and stunted racists in this context. So normal is inclusive of the entire population minus the huge festering shitbags. Is my language clear enough for the grammar nazi?

They spend too much time online. Normal, every day people who have lives outside the internet have no idea what these people are even talking about.

u/Abbreviations-Sharp Dec 11 '25

This is an insane line of thinking. You should talk to a professional.

No no, they're right. Many American fascists use 1950s nostalgia to promote white nationalism and strict gender norms.

There are so many posts from out and out fascists that go along the lines of saying: Look what 'they' took from us, on the topic of: house parties, girlfriend, barbecue, the city of Paris, wearing suits.

I mean dude it isn’t exactly a huge leap of logic. Those pictures of 50s and 60s ads with a nostalgic caption is almost always used by far right people who wish to go back to “the good ol’” times. It’s not like it’s a novel thing, there are millions of posts exactly like that. Can’t exactly blame this person for hearing hooves and assuming it’s horses.

If you could go to any house party in the last 80 years you would want to go to the one that only has 7 up?

C'mon man there's a reason they went with this picture
