For me the easiest tell is the up front, unprompted, and unsolicited declaration of nonpoliticalness. When someone takes the time and expends the breath to announce how nonpolitical they are, what follows is almost always a rant about how everything/everyone else is too political these days, and that of course leads into something between status quo advocacy and outright reactionary/regressive sentiments for some fabled time before those wicked politics were visible to the nonpolitical ranter.

People that are hostile to service workers. Some just want to take some ideological stand against tipping when the service worker doesn’t really have a choice and needs those tips to survive in the current unjust system in a way where ideological purity gestures toward that service worker just look like being a greedy and sanctimonious asshole. The worst of such people will actually declare, shamelessly, that they believe that service workers don’t deserve a living wage. The implications of that are worthy.

I may get shit for this, but I’ll say it anyway: this hair and beard combo, seen on living people. I have yet to meet anyone in person with that look that wasn’t a chud.

(If one of you is a comrade with that look, I am sorry in advance for the prejudice and if I ever meet you in person I will atone by buying you a drink or something.)

If they have strong opinions on TFA/TLJ

What about strong opinions on TROS?

Then again, maybe feeling strongly about that pile of nothing is just weird.

I feel like people just hate that one for the emperor and skywalker saga shit, which is fair. The first two just provoked such rage on purely race/gender hate.

If theyre afraid of going into cities at all and act like everyone there is just waiting to kill or rob them (they’re white and from the suburbs)

White women who have no problem talking about misogyny but immediately change the subject when talking about racism

White women who say “I just want to love everyone” when talking about racism (they love the racists)

Asian people who only date white people and think being fetishized is a compliment

Anyone with a gigantic truck they only use to commute to work and buy groceries

Honestly most of the time I see a variety of ball cap on a white dude it feels like a tell. Not necessarily always a chud but I feel the ratio is in that direction. I would be curious if there is actually data on this or just a prejudice of mine.

Intense fearful gaze is another one, which is why they also love to wear sunglasses everywhere. The funniest thing chuds do is take selfies of themselves scowling with sunglasses on in their pickup truck.

Those thumbheads are terrified of even the possibility of emotional vulnerability, because it might be gaaaaaay.

I got a beautiful head of hair but I’ll still throw on a ball cap if the UV index is high. I’ll give him the sunglasses thing but if you take the hats too then my eyes are gonna melt in the sun.

CLEAN trucks are indicative of this. A dirty truck belongs to someone who works with it.

I’mma keep it a buck with you chief: I like my bucket, and even with all the BB conditioner in the world, my shit’s still gonna be frizzy enough to look like a bad hair day. It’s just easier to throw on the bucket and go about my day.

If they are as interested in politics as I am, there’s a high chance it’s for the opposite reasons
