#there's a lot of problems with that article too though like it says cottagecore and 'goblincore' (????) are alt and the source it cites is

[quarter]

it's funny actually because even the wikipedia article for "alt fashion" lists "rejection of mass production" as one of its main characteristics and yet all we get from these people is shein etc oh well

What is a Nazbol?

Alright, so I’ve mentioned “nazbols” a month or so back. I’ve mentioned them a few times before and how they’ve infiltrated left wing tumblr. So what are they, and how do you recognize them?

Nazbol is basically shorthand for “nazi bolshevik”. They combine socialism/anti-capitalist ideology with facism, antisemitism, and paleocon trad bullshit. They are also known as commie nazis, national socialists, national bolsheviks, red facists, red browns, and strausserites. This isn’t just an online ideology, national bolsheviks have even taken to the streets. Here’s a wikipedia article if you want to read more. While they are infiltrating leftist spaces on tumblr, they are also accepted in the more traditional neo-facist circles too.

What this post is about is how to recognize them more easily. Many of them however are REALLY good at ‘hiding their power’ level. Hell, I’ve reblogged a nazbol meme once or twice unwittingly. On those occasions, I’d get a nice anon explaining that OP is horribly antisemitic or believes whacky conspiracy theories, I’d then check out their blog and find that anon is 100% right.

Here’s the nefarious thing about them: They can speak your language, and they will say a lot of things that a lot of people on the left will agree with.

Here are some examples:

-Antizionism, big time. Israel is the cause of all the worlds wars and problems to them. They won’t always clue you into the second half. They may instead pretend to give a shit about Palestinians. 

-Stuff that’s anti-imperialism. After all, every war and conflict is caused by (((them))), and it’s to bring down western civilization.

-Anti porn. They'll generally pretend to give a shit about sex trafficking victims. In actuality, it's because porn/sex is degenerate to them.

-They LOVE ACAB posting

-Stuff that’s anti-capitalism (Capitalism is Jewish. They don’t generally say it out loud though.) 

-Anti electoralism rhetoric (Voting is immoral)

-Revolutionary rhetoric

-Talking about (((the banks))), (((world finance))), (((the elites))), (((the world order))), and (((the globalists))) ruling over us. I made it easy for you by putting the echoes there. Nazbols however tend to be more subtle.

Here’s the problem though. These aren’t uncommon talking points on the left, and they don’t always have the antisemitic or facist undertones to them, so nazbols are able to camouflage themselves with these talking points. Now, here are some things that are unusual for leftists on tumblr. These are things to look for that can clue you in. They are:

-Conspiracy theories. Not things that are provably true through widespread corroboration and declassified CIA documents. I mean like 5G towers causing Covid, Covid isn’t real, 9/11 trutherism, conspiracy theories about mass shootings, references/allusions to Qanon, references to lizard people controlling the world, that sort of thing. 

-I previously mentioned 9/11 trutherism. If they are posting a meme that says “Israelis are the best dancers in the world. Google ‘dancing Israelis’ if you don’t believe me.” That’s a dead giveaway. It’s an antisemitic conspiracy theory that the Jews did 9/11. 

-I previously mentioned ACAB posting. I can appreciate a good ACAB meme myself. If they take it a step further and talk about shooting cops and share boogaloo memes, that’s not normal on the left.

-Paleocon trad bullshit, cottagecore stuff, return to traditional values, reject modernity. 

-Obsession with “culture” and “western civilization”.

-Unironic posting about soyboys/nu-males. Belief in alphamales vs betamales. This leads me into my next point.

-Antifeminism and/or redpill shit. It’s not uncommon for people on the left to criticize radfems, SWERFS, and TERFS. I do it all the time. However, if someone displays generally antifeminist tendencies, or outward misogyny or toxic masculinity, that’s a good clue there. 

-Blatant class reductionism. Class reductionism is a huge problem in the broader left. Nazbols however won’t simply say that “capitalism is the cause of all evil”, in particular, they will show complete apathy to sexism, racism, queerphobia, and other non class issues. 

-”We are the real virus”. Stuff that we would identify with ecofacism. 

-Here’s a very obvious one: Tokenizing Nation of Islam/hotep types, to spread the message that “See! The blacks also favor segregation.”. 

-Here’s another easy one. Race and IQ, and/or antiimmigration rhetoric. 

-Heavy usage of memes we associate with the far right. Examples: Clown World 🤡🌎, a proud cartoon Aryan standing up against a degenerate, soyboy/numales/phytoestrogens and soy poisoning our food, werhaboo german soldier memes, things that fit that pattern. 

So those are some some things that can distinguish them from other leftists. Now what do you do when you suspect someone of doing a dog whistle or being a nazbol? 

One thing you can do is when they post something kind of sus, click and see whom they reblogged it from. That should help a lot. Some are better at hiding their power level than others. Generally, the best thing you can do is if you can tell beyond reasonable doubt that a tumlr is a nazbol, just block them and move on. Sometimes I post my block list. You can do so too. 

 Calling someone out on dogwhistling isn’t always the best idea. I did this once when Bella Daphne painted clown world meme on a van and showed a picture of herself with an ok sign hand holding the paintbrush. People scoffed at it like “you think clowns and hand gestures are hate symbols? Idiot.”. One reason for dog whistles is plausible deniability, and so that you look silly in front of normies and anti-sjw types when you call someone out on dog whistling.
