    I feel like this meta would significantly increase your chances of landing a Nazi or a future mass shooter…

      I am the kind of male military history nerd that loves to just wander around museums like this for fun, have been since I was a kid.

      You’re not entirely wrong.

      Future school shooter in a military museum?

      Nah, not really. Too anti social, too shut-in. Not likely to go to a museum.

      You’re more likely to find them in a Nazi RP server of some kind, or RPing as cops online, doing the whole power fantasy + indoctrination from their room, never actually interacting with people in the outside world.

      Nazi, right wing extremist in a military museum?

      … Yeah, young male military history nerds in the US do very much tend toward being quite right wing.

      Not all of them, of course, but at least for me, almost all of my friends with similar nerdy interest in military history since a young age… they’re all MAGAtards now, and no longer my friends.
