...The internet went wild on Tuesday with the news that Boston would host a Straight Pride Parade for straight people who claim theyre an oppressed majority. One Twitter jokester recommended that the parade take a straight route right into the Boston harbor...
...While the idea of a few dozen angry straight people marching might be funny, the actual origins of Straight Pride Parade are not. The event is a front for a far-right group founded by notorious right-wing brawler Kyle Based Stickman Chapman...
...But Sahady isnt just a particularly aggrieved straight dude. Instead, he has a long history participating in controversial right-wing events around Boston as an organizer for Resist Marxism, a group Chapman founded at the height of the fame he earned attacking left-wing anti-fascist activists with his eponymous stick....
...Resist Marxisms politics get even uglier, though. In leaked internal chats published in 2018, members frequently made anti-Semitic jokes and used anti-Semitic slurs. At least one Resist Marxism event had security provided by Patriot Front, a white-nationalist hate group...

(90,775 posts)1. Poor dears. When will America celebrate straight, white male Christians?
They have been left out and put upon throughout America's history!
Oh, the humanity!
The abuse and discrimination they have had to endure!
All the laws and rules stacked against them!
The very core of the idea of what constitutes traditional American values has always excluded them!
They have been institutionally marginalized!
Systemic bigotry against them has hobbled their ability to advance!
How can I carry on knowing how cruel the world has been to them?
Oh, those poor straight, white male Christians!
Someone, please - please - help me to help them...
Shut the fuck up already.
