The (Communist) Nerds Are the Bad Guys in This Movie

posted by Kurt Schlichter at Townhall 

For those of us who came of age in the greatest of decades, the 80s, it’s a bitter pill to swallow to realize that we have been sold the lie by movies like “Revenge of the Nerds” that frat boys are the eternal bad guys. On college campuses today, the nerds are the bad guys, a communist collection of weirdos, losers, and mutations of heft who cry about Palestine, whine that the cops are mean to them for breaking the law and scream that they are being literally murdered by people who won’t honor their myriad food allergies. The 80s nerds were courageous rebels. Today’s nerds are pathetic conformists – they all look the same, they all sound the same, and they all smell the same. They’re not amusing nerds like Pointdexter and Booger. They don’t rock out like the ROTN nerds. These are garbage nerds, spoiled commies with stupid masks, stupid piercings, and stupid hair.

Today, the heroes fighting back on campuses are labeled frat boys, whether they’re in fraternities or not, but what they really are is a bunch of normal dudes. It’s obvious at first glance. They are mostly (but not all) straight white males, in shape, well-dressed, and free of stupid masks, stupid piercings, and stupid hair. They guzzle Coors Light instead of gulping SSRIs. They protect the Old Glory and proudly wave it. And they mock the pinko losers.

They don’t give a damn about the gentle feelz of the commie nerds. They’re rough and insensitive, cruel and hilarious. When a gigantic commie waddled up and waved her chubby finger at them, they chanted “Lizzo” and worse. It was hilarious and cathartic. It was liberating. Sure, some of it was obnoxious. Some of it was in bad taste. Some of it got called racist, but here’s the thing – these white boys are going to get called racist no matter what. They have been all their lives, so I doubt they care about one more epithet.

America’s normal young men are fed up. They’re done. They grew up in educational institutions dominated by communist females who despised them. They were always hated because of the race of the majority of them – this pushback by normal guys is multiethnic – and they were always hated because of their gender and unapologetic devotion to cisgenderism. They are told they are the problem and their oppression the solution. Their mere existence is claimed to be proof of a devotion to “white supremacy.” Their heritage is proof of their moral bankruptcy, an original sin that they can never scrub away. They are the oppressors, even though there’s no one more oppressed on a college campus than a frat boy, targeted by an administration that hates him, subjected to a double-track justice system that nukes him if he’s caught sneaking a Dos Equis, but that kisses the collective booty – the enormous booty – of the communist terror fans who take over chunks of the campuses. The normal guys are the designated villains, by the left and Hollywood too, and the rest of us are supposed to hate them.

But they’re not hated now. They’re loved. They’re loved by normal people everywhere because they’re the ones fighting back. They refuse to cede the moral high ground to these pretentious jerks. They have nothing but contempt for the leftist ruling class, and they have nothing to lose. For their entire lives, they’ve been told that they are the heavies in our cultural script, and they are sick of it. They’re done. Finished. This is only the start of the pushback.

The pushback is going to be impolite. It’s going to be mean. It’s going to lack decorum. But hey, aren’t those are the new rules, you Hamas-kissing psychopaths? As I’ve said many times before, be careful about the new rules you enact. The communists wanted to put a new rule into effect that says you can be openly hated because of your race and despised because of your immutable characteristics. They wanted a new rule that allowed the brutal exercise of power against their opponents. Well, welcome to the new rules. I hope they hurt going in hard.

The statistics tell the story – young men are sick of this crap and are turning right. Some of them have checked out of society, retreating into a haze of pot smoke and the glare of video games as an escape from an adulthood where they see the deck stacked against them. If this is privilege, you can have it. The only privilege they have is to pay taxes, die in stupid wars, and take crap from fugly commie mediocrities. But others are fighting back. And it’s glorious.

It's toxic masculinity unbound, and the more toxic the better. Women dominate the current Kampus for Krusade Kommunism, as leftist activism is in large part a reaction by unattractive women to the fact normal men don’t want them. Their pinko male comrades are pretty much indistinguishable from the female-identifying ones. These campus trolls embody the radical version of the feminist vibe one experiences in most of the institutions in American society. Our educational institutions are feminized from kindergarten to grad school. Boys are wild and rambunctious and have a lot of energy, yet we see teachers suppressing them, shaming them, demanding they sit still, and eliminating recess and PE – things boys need and thrive in. They are bombarded with weird gender creepiness by the lefty wine women teaching them. There are few masculine role models left in the schools. The kind of ex-Marine shop teacher and the PE instructor who stormed ashore at Guadalcanal that we boomer/Gen Xers grew up with are gone. The male instructors today are anything but traditional – again, you’ve got the stupid masks, stupid piercings, and stupid hair problem. You can’t teach boys to be men if you aren’t a man yourself. And that’s just the ones who aren’t outright perverts.

No, these boys grew up in a milieu that women created and dominate, and this is an overdue male rebellion. They’re saying “No,” and they’re saying it loudly and laced with profanity. In campus videos of the confrontations, you can see the communists don’t know how to react to these young men. They’ve never had anyone get in their faces before. They’ve never had anyone tell them that they’re useless, that they’re trash, that they’re worthless – all of which is true. But the frat boys have had that happen to them all their lives – and it was a lie. 

They’re not the bad guys. The paradigm of the 80s movies has changed. Those nerds were just cool people trying to get along. Today’s nerds are trying to help the people who want to kill all the Jews in Israel. That’s not cute, and that’s not funny. Thank goodness the frat boys know their enemies and thank goodness their masculinity hasn’t been so suppressed that they have forgotten their instinctive desire to destroy their foes. That is what men do. The communist trash people better hope that this remains on the level of shouting insults across the lines of cops. The stinky campus commies of 2024 won’t stand a chance when today’s Ogres sound their war cry, “Nerds!”
