Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

What's funny is that while Vikings are mostly remembered for their warrior culture, their success as a diaspora came more from their merchant and sailing culture. THEY were the 'immigrants.'
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
Merchants in this case translates to slavers, so Nazis can feel right at home in that regard. Your point still stands tough.
I'm a white, Christian, male firearms enthusiast from Texas.
That's a tough combination when I'm also extremely leftist.
Well, history shows leftists have been known to use firearms plenty
I think Christian Leftists are based and cool, you're basically THE Christians who care about what Christ actually wanted for us, but also because you're on the Left you run into r/Atheist type chuds all the time, meaning you work with people who are hostile to you because you know that it's the right thing to do.
That's pretty based and cool.
I'm not Christian myself, I learn more Buddhist in my spirituality, and even then I'm more agnostic on my ideas about God, but there's a lot I legitimately respect about the faith.
Buddhism isn't a theological religion. There simply is no god in Buddhism. There are gods, yes, but they are just part of Samsara, the cycle of birth and rebirth, like everybody else.
So beeing agnostic is right in point in that regard, if not even completly atheistic.
I did differentiate my spirituality from my ideas on God for a reason.
Why only a "male firearms enthusiast", what about the female firearms? Maybe your not as big of a leftist as you thought.

I do home canning and a fair deal of baking. There's a lot of trad bullshit around this that makes me just go "I'm canning cause I love me some candied jalapeños, not because my husband demands I do"
You just reminded me I need to get a good lemon marmalade recipe

Anytime someone starts dropping Warhammer lore, or shows a love of Boomer Shooters, I know I'm going to despise that person or they'll be my best friend, no middle ground, and I don't even like Warhammer.
What's wrong with boomer shooters?? The whole genre was founded on killing nazis

Nazi punks fuck off. This is not a good example. Every metal enjoyer I know is progressive. It's one of the few communities that is still mostly sane and decent.
Uh... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Anselmo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_black_metal I mean, they can fuck off, and they're definitely a minority, but they absolutely exist as parts of the roots and present structure of metal music.
I was just watching this bit on the OG Skinheads:
tl;dw: the movement came from Jamaican immigrants to the UK, who then blended their music into the local subculture, and then moved to the US. It has strong anti-racist roots. The fashy takeover of the term "Skinheads" in pop culture is completely without support, since you can't ignore where it came from. OG Skinheads call them "Boneheads".

I've been collecting comics off and on since I was a pre-teen in the early 90's. I think I had less than 100 books up until about 2013 when I got back into collecting comics. I fell out of the hobby for about 4 more years and got back into it pretty hardcore in 2017 or so and have been pretty consistently involved since then. During the pandemic I learned that there was an entire community of comic collectors on YouTube that made videos about collecting. It was pretty great at first, but over time, I started to realize that a lot of them leaned right. Then more time passed and I realized it was more than a lean. After the most recent election, a lot of YouTube comic book videos became overtly political in support of this shit we're currently enduring. The people that lean left don't seem to say anything against it, and so I felt pretty isolated. I no longer watch YouTube comic videos, but I still collect comics. I just do it as a solo hobby once again.

Whenever some city dweller says they like to go fishing, I immediately think "He's a right winger AND uses fishing as an excuse to cheat on his wife" - this seems to be the case often down here in Brazil
