I work with a guy that fits this description as well. Man bun goes to the gym regularly mountain bikes, rock climbs lives the van life yet is a full on Nazi fascist racist sexist homophobic xenophobic, but also enjoys wearing retro rock band T-shirts and smoking offbrand cigarettes.

Ugh, that’s so annoying. I wonder how many acquaintances of his nope out after talking to him long enough to realize

I think it’s just me most of his friends and family members are exactly like him. Even his girlfriend is perfectly OK with being treated badly by him.

Fascism has always been more of a middle class movement than working class as much as it tries to pretend to be the latter

As a upper mid American who has fallen to the lower mid, I can affirm, there be a lot of fuckin racists in this class

Nipsters have been a thing for a long time.

It’s really the same thing as when way back neo-nazi’s appropriated punk culture, which was an inherently anti-nazi, and anti-fascist movement

Thanks for the tip, I didn't even know that was a thing 🫣

I assumed that whole thing was scripted. I've never heard this term but you could be right.

Looks like the term Nipster originated in Europe where everyone was already metrosexual 10 years ago according to stereotypes.
