consider MMA, UFC is a big draw for conservatives, and it is the reason why so many men voted for trump, via ROGAN, whoever watches ufc, also has ROEGAN in the background as white noise.
i was following a bunch of asian yotubers originally, they had thinly veiled air of leaning to left, but once roegan starting hitting the podcast scene in 2020, they starting drinking the koolaid and are obsessed with MMA ever since, and turned to hard maga-tism, with a little side dish of mysogyny and racism.
As a person who's been in the MMA and BJJ world for a long time, yes the vast majority of men doing it are right of center.
And yes there is a growing portion that is far right.
It really sucks
I bet every single one of these people complained about not being able to breathe through a mask during covid lockdown
Maybe leftists should do this too
They did. They were called the black panthers. They armed themselves and taught each other self defense. The white public thought the idea of brown ppl protecting themselves against facists like Ronald Regan was a bad thing so they were disarmed in California and were infiltrated by the FBI.
They fed kids...and knew their rights.
The really hard stuff came when Fred Hampton started to work with white and Hispanic groups, that’s when the FBI and Chicago PD assassinated him.
Kind of like what happened with MLK and Malcolm X.
The Rainbow Coalition
Ive long believed we should have some more bro themed outreach programs. We've let spoiled rich clowns sell themselves as tough to young, impressionable boys. We have plenty of leftists who love more traditional masculine hobbies and vocations. Some outreach clubs to help young men realize you can be tough without being virulently angry all the time is a good thing in my opinion.
i'm not too sure about that.. LLL just doesn't have the same kick, you know?
Name options:
Leftist Active Club

Through sport, they bond over white nationalist ideologies, SPLC said.
I feel like bonding over shared hatred doesn’t really create any kind of real bond.
Then you are incredibly wrong. Creating a siege mentality is literally one of the easiest tricks to make people bond and form a cohesive group. I'd say about half of Europe's countries exist in large part as "we're not English/French/German" as much as any real original common identity.
Hatred might feel like a bond, but it’s not one that actually lasts once the target disappears. It’s entirely dependent on an external “enemy.” That kind of connection isn’t about each other — it’s about not being someone else. That’s thin.
You’re not really bonded to the person next to you — you’re just reacting to the same thing. Yeah, siege mentality works to rally people, but that’s not the same as forming meaningful relationships. It’s a short-term trick, not a foundation.
Real connection requires something internal — shared values, trust, mutual investment — not just shared scorn. When the hate runs dry, there’s nothing left holding the group together except maybe paranoia and infighting. “We’re not them” only gets you so far before people start turning on each other too.
Yeah ok bud, I'll let the Swiss know they can stop pretending to be a country now that France, Germany and Italy are unlikely to subsume them.
It is absolutely a foundation. Foundations dry and even crack but that doesn't bring the whole house down if you've built something on it. Which in Switzerland's case is insane rent (to keep the Italians out), mass armament (to keep the Germans out), watch making (to keep the French out), and cowbells (to keep one specific Dutch woman out).
The sport does the bonding, which provides these shitheads with an in for their ideologies.
Thaaat’s great. And there’s a lotta angry kids out there
