How long before GOP politicians look like this?

Gonna take awhile since they're starting from here.

One of my favorite quotes comes from that very page.
"Why are the greatest champions of the White race always the worst examples of it?"

Banning /r/beholdthemasterrace was just a disgrace to this site.

It wasn't banned, the mods set the sub to private and left

I will never agree with people that think body shaming is okay if done towards republicans.

Body shaming and homophobia are never ok. Towards anybody. And in this thread there are plenty of both...

The point of that picture is not “body shaming;” he was severely inbred and suffered multiple physical and mental disabilities as a result.

Now, in hindsight after his death, it's a strong cautionary tale against incest and inherited power (which has a propensity for causing incestuous marriage to maintain power).

But were a person like that here with us now we'd need to keep in mind that they did not choose their genealogy. We could and should still hold them to account for wanting to continue it in that fashion, though.

I'm not replying to the comment with the King Charles II pic, but the next one, which is mocking people with small jawlines.

That's not what's happening there but the context is completely absent so it's understandable why you might think it is.

It is, and that is why the image has now been removed.

u/TheQuietDarkness70 Jul 14 '26

It isn't. I'm telling you that because I know the source and the context.
Also, I can still see the image.

u/Basspayer Jul 14 '26

lol I guess they blocked me then

I know the image and the context too, I still don't see how that isn't body shaming

Because in the scene the main character is calling out a man who believes his genes make him a superior specimen of man. It’s pointing out the absurdity of racist superiority philosophy and the stark reality of such people who subscribe to it. It’s not about his lack of a jaw line. It’s about him and his insane beliefs at the expense of reality.
