Beard is too neatly trimmed.

Has to keep it sharp for Grinder.

In the model's defense, dude is just modeling the shirt and not necessarily espousing the political view

We all have to draw a line somewhere.

Nine Line is the least offensive off all these tacticool brands. It’s the one owned by the Black Rifle Coffee guy who donates to Act Blue.

Maybe even a stock photo where someone slapped a t-shirt design.

Its also missing the "i beat my wife but it's okay because i go to church on sunday" wraparound blue sunglasses.

They have to be on backwards when indoors, as well.

I always picture the glasses. They're key.

When it comes to hair, no one is more bitchy than conservative males.

That was the before time, when they weren't wannabe dirt bikers from suburbs.

Sometimes. There's a definite contingent of "GRINDSET!" "GOTTA PROTECT MY PEOPLE WITH MY MUSCLES!" "PROTEIN KETO!" types as well.

To be fair, I'm not sure I could park some of the emotional support trucks. They are not compatible with urban parking. They are simply too big.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

True, but one might gently suggest that's a poor excuse for a retrograde worldview. LOL.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yup. Every now and again I'll have to take my work truck to LA to meet my wife and her family, and I hate it every time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It's easier to park a Humvee than a Brodozer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Had to rent one for a few weeks not long ago. Toxic masculinity insecurity had me worried "they would be better than me" and my "pussy urban ass" couldn't handle a big truck. Within minutes your brain adjusts and it's just driving as usual but your ass is further away.. which you can see with eyes and mirrors, and account for, way more easily than you'd expect. They also have better backup cameras, sensors, and beeps, than my "nicer" car.

Needs a MAGA baseball cap and wrap-around shades.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

Size should be "Man baby"

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Needs a sheet of rub-on tattoos with vaguely "I didn't serve in the military but really want to imply I did" to "outright white supremacist" themes.

My favourite is that "Three Percenter" design that effectively coopts the design of one of America's least-successful coins. I sort of want to talk one of their ears off about numismatics and watch their brain smoulder.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Oakley shades, goatee and probably shaved head.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

True but how is this a microblog meme

::: spoiler Inside the package:

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

On a road trip through DC and Philly this summer, at the sights, and they make themselves so obvious.

Like a real Mmmerican, I loudly lecture my kid on liberty, equality, and fighting for others; read every MLK, JFK, FDR, et al, speeches from walls and plaques, in entirety; publicly ranting about perhaps having to fight Nazis to the death if an uprising happens here and we need to defend our country because these colors don't run, like both sides of our family did last time; while referring to traitors, their cult, and insurrectionists hating our freedoms and they should like it or leave it.

They wear upside down black and white flag T-shirts and stand around like they're waiting for their wives outside Sephora, not knowing how to smile in photos.

I'm still nice to everyone. Because I'm a real American. They are deplorables that should be deported.

You forgot the open carry

I had to look it up. Seems to be a "patriot economy" company named after a military medevac request.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Made in Bangladesh surely

Dammit, I swear I saw some white dude wearing that exact shirt yesterday.

I’m a suburban Dad. That’s how I know this particular brand of them is a real thing. You can also spot them by how they ignore their kids when they can’t weasel out of a school event.

With cargo shorts and a ten year old Star Wars shirt, I can circulate among them without drawing too much attention.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't think I know what the nine line helicopter is supposed to mean.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's just a common brand worn exclusively by members of Y'allqaeda. Living in the south I see atleast a dozen of these guys a day.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That, or the underarmor FREEDOM tshirt. i swear these guys have a total of 5 shirts in their closet

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's so weird to me that Underarmor started becoming a regular clothing brand. It sounds like an adult diaper.

Y'allqaeda... Love it. Thanks @[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It refers to a 9 line, which is a type of radio comm standard used for casualty evacuation and close air support strikes.

Making a shirt out of it is a bit strange to me.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

My job has a bunch of bros who cosplay as "Rescue Heroes". They follow Forest fires and evacuation notices, and talk about how much they would be able to help with their equipment.

Then they pee their pants when a tornado warning heads their way.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Recruits get hazed in to memorizing the 9 Line in various idiotic ways during basic. Unless you're in the air force where it's just strongly encouraged. Regardless, as a result it's a type of cultural flagstone for service members.

There is an island specific brand that cater to this pseudo militarism demographic that's maybe even more cringe: https://www.mayjahleagueclothing.com/

It's not that every one wearing this brand pulls Trump flags along with Kanaka maoli flags on the weekend. But every one pulling flags on the weekend wears this brand.

At one point in my life, I would have thought this site was satire
