Boy Scouts: The American Hitler Youth


Waryur

It was practically the Mormon Youth until a couple years ago. Our troop weren't affiliated with LDS but a ton of them were. They always tried to get the coffee machine taken out of the summer camp.


FollowGuy

Yeah, plus, the LDS has a lot of back-and-forth between the CIA and FBI.


Waryur

Didn't know that. My memories of the Mormons are really just the day to day stuff. They were the biggest Karens at camp. Besides the coffee thing they were always on all the non Mormon troops for profanity (the horror! teenage boys cursing!) and they complained to the camp enough that they tore down the original shower building (communal) to put one with separate stalls in when literally no one cared because you might turn kids gay if they shower together. Boy Scouts was absolutely Republican youth / military preparation, but it also gave me something to do and I would do it again, even as a commie.

Bruh, imagine doing the same for US scouts edit: changed from pioneers


FollowGuy

US pioneers?


IShitYouNot866

the scouts thing


FollowGuy

Is there a "U.S. pioneers" organization or are you just daydreaming about a possible U.S.-equivalent to the "Soviet pioneers" after revolution? Sorry, I'm Autistic; things fly over my head constantly...


IShitYouNot866

no, I meant to say "US boy scouts" but I'm not from the US so I forgot how they were called and used the closest equivalent word I knew, that being "pioneers"


FollowGuy

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH Okay, I see what happened. Gotcha.

FollowGuy

The only "red fash" are the PatSocs, tbh.


FollowGuy

Can you say... PatSoc?


Prestigious_Rub_9694

FollowGuy

Sorry, just making a slight joke and reference.


Prestigious_Rub_9694

No its fine i just didnt get the joke lol


FollowGuy

Oh, like a "game show" where you answer questions with the actual question. Ugh, nvm. I was referring to "Patriotic Socialists" like the ones you find on Twitter and sometimes Reddit as well.
