    If I wanted to people to engage with me I wouldn’t call myself a Groyper tbh it’s not even good irony if that’s what it is or remotely interesting either way.

    No worries mate.  I've explained what it means but a certain few don't want to listen.

    If folk want to deliberately annoy me then I'll just continue putting them on ignore, it's easier for me.  Life's too short.

    Just to be clear, your position is that a ‘groyper’ is just someone who follows Nick Fuentes and asks difficult questions of conservative speakers? 

    My position is that you've absolutely no intention of engaging in constructive debate.  I've already explained what the term means and have no choice but to come to the conclusion that you're only after aggro, otherwise you wouldn't still be annoying me.  That's you on ignore too.

    If more posters used the ignore function rather than engaging with these idiots the politics forum would be a better place.  Sadly some otherwise intelligent posters cannot resist engaging with obvious trolls.

    All I've done is reply to those who are misrepresenting my username.  I've hardly said anything other than fend off attacks.

    Not complaining about that really, but it's a bit weird how they put such energy into it.

    I was actually hoping for some reasonable dialogue.

    I dunno I just think choosing a username for a group that's effectively synonymous with far right 'Murican incels to be a bit weird but each to their own. I have zero interest in learning anything about the guy you're supporting. 

    I've not chosen such a username though.

    If you're going to make such accusations then it'd probably be better if you got your facts right first.  Only thing is, that might involve some learning.

    Why identify as a follower of a 22 year old white supremacist holocaust denier? I'm sure there's some grand wheeze here, or maybe just a chance to try to troll a thread, but I just don't see it. 

    I've never identified as a follower of a 22 year old white supremacist holocaust denier.  Why would you say something so ridiculous?

    So in the absence of actually answering why you chose that username I would have to guess that you're a stan of this Fuentes character, after a quick google search it has him down as a white Nationalist Trump supporter who's made anti semitic remarks frequently, some boi!

    What brought you to a Scottish football forum out of interest? 

    No need for the hostile tone buddy.

    I chose the username because I like what the groypers represent.  We should always be showing free thought and questioning the narrative.

    I don't mean to sound patronising, but you're probably best off taking what you see in a google search with a pinch of salt.  If you're really desperate to slag off my username then I'll respond to allegations of things he's specifically said or done, but I'd be far happier just conversing about the issues of the day rather than defend my username :D

    I'm a fan of Scottish fitba and have always known about this place.  I've largely lost interest over the years due to increased commercialisation, but it's something that never leaves you IMO.  How about you?

    Why did you choose such a username though? Is it related to this term? If the wiki is incorrect then what would you define a Groyper as? 

    The groyper was an adaptation of the pepe meme, first used by Nick Fuentes to symbolise someone waiting for an answer after asking a difficult question.  His fans would buy tickets to ask difficult questions of conservative speakers in front of an audience.  After a while, his followers became known as groypers in general.

    Yeah mate, the wiki article is incorrect.  Anyone to the right of Stalin is a deemed a far-right, KKK-loving white supermacist with links to Anders Breivik these days.

    Tommy Robinson.

    6 months ago nobody had heard of the c**t, and if they had it was only to recognise him as an ignorant, racist nutter.

    Today I had the car radio on and listened as BBC 5Live gave this guy a full 20 minutes of coverage, including having a reporter outside prison waiting breathlessly on his release.

    This is what the BBC did with Farage. An irrelevant nobody with extreme views was suddenly given constant mainstream publicity allowing him to use dog-whistle politics to appeal to the lowest common denominator......before you know it Farage is never off TV, and his views and those of UKIP are now those which control the Westminster government.

    Robinson is getting support from the dangerous figures on the far-right...Wilders and Bannon being only two....and I can't help but wonder if there will be forces at play over the next months pushing Robinson ever more into public consciousness, and therefore normalising his extreme views.

    God, I hate the UK.

    The fact that you see views you don't like being given airtime as a problem says a lot about you.

    Terms such as 'far-right' and 'racist' have largely lost their meaning because of their overuse.
