http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/obesity-should-not-be-tolerated-neo-nazi-website-orders-fat-badly-dressed-readers-to-get-sexy/Like the Trump administration, some members of the neo-Nazi, white nationalist far right believe that the reason their ideas are unpopular is a messaging problem and not the ideas themselves.
Mediaite.com said that The Hills Will Sommer found notes on neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer from editor Andrew Anglin about how the movement needs to gussy up its image and dress for success.

Neo-Nazis priority number one, he said: We have to be sexy.
We have to be hip and we have to be sexy, he wrote. This means we have to look good, we have to look dangerous, we have to have humor, we have to look powerful and we have to look like we are in control.
...
Fat people should be allowed to join groups and be involved in rallies, sure, Anglin said, but maybe not so many of them.
We should help people get it together, he said. Continued obesity should not be tolerated.
...
At the next meeting of the Stormer Book Club, Anglin said, he doesnt want to see any of his minions in baggy T-shirts, which he finds the worst look ever.
...
Dont ever wear shorts, Anglin said. Serious men in serious situations are not wearing shorts.

I have one more idea. What if the Alt-Right started coordinating outfits? That will make them look like a strong community.
They should all wear button-down shirts.
What color? Serious people wear dark colors, but not black. An earthy color.
That's the idea! All Alt-Righters should coordinate their outfits into wearing earth-colored button-down shirts! That will impress people!

(63,221 posts)The Alt-right is almost exclusively made up of obese, unattractive, mouth-breathers who will never be "hip and sexy" no matter how hard they try. These people are living in a dream world. Most of the reason they are the way they are is because they can't get laid in the first place. Maybe if they could, they would be so miserable, bitter and hateful.
