'Chud' is a derogatory term for alt-righter. Most wish they were chads.

"Chud" = derived from C.H.U.D., an acronym for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller from the shitty 80s horror movie of the same name. In contemporary internet discourse, synonymous with "Neanderthal", "knuckle-walker", etc. - basically, a primitive/unevolved/subhuman creature.

Interestingly, it's never racialized - it always just means someone with shitty aggro right-wing beliefs.

you don’t have to be a right-winger to be a chud, but many are

I've only ever seen the term used on the left. But this is a recent development according to the prestigious Urban Dictionary.

My earlier statement "all teenagers are chuds" was basically about the adolescent temperament - the stormy emotional landscape, generally poor impulse control, etc. - which crosses all political boundaries.

its actually a native american ritual iirc

as far as i can tell "chud" exists solely to noun "maga"

search function shows me “chud” was used in its common form, not referencing the movie itself, in 2004

like we’re not alone here, it was a term used among a bunch of internet and irl communities prior to trumpism. please don’t let trump ruin “chud”

Now that I think about it, The Simpsons is probably responsible for its return/rise - there was a throwaway gag about the sewers being full of CHUDs in the Simpsons-go-to-NYC episode (the one that never gets re-aired because it's got the World Trade Center in it).

chud/chad/choadnone of them are good

I use choad a lot these last several years. It really perfectly embraces a lot of men in the US.
― Yerac, Monday, 21 January 2019 00:37 (five years ago) link
by "none of them are good" i meant the people referred to as chud/chad/choad are not good; the words themselves are fine!!
the word CHOAD itself brings me great satisfaction to use tbh

It's such a weird cognitive dissonance to see a choad make a derogatory comment about how a women looks. I will go off. Like, are there no mirrors in your basement? How dare you.

I'm curious as to how choad made it from (as Wiktionary claims) Hindi into 90s American stoner slang, the first place I encountered it... there is what I would consider to be a suspicious 100-year gap in the list of attestations.

OED:
Origin: Of unknown origin.Etymology: Origin unknown. Perhaps compare Hindi codnā (of a man) to have sexual intercourse, cod-ghar brothel, codū (adjective) lascivious, (noun) lascivious man

I don't buy the Hindi connection, really. Was thinking maybe some riff on Spanish's joder but that doesn't make sense either. My money's on an English neologism.

the ad has put Gillette into my mind, but specifically the image of a terrorized boy chased through the Gillette logo by bullies, so I'm not sure if that really has any positive impact on my likelihood to buy Gillette products (caveat being I no longer shave so it's all hypothetical)

"sure, you can go to waffle house... if you're RACIST"
― The Elvis of Nationalism and Amoral Patriotism (rushomancy), Monday, 21 January 2019 14:37 (five years ago) link
could totally picture the decline of local diners combined with the ubiquity of Denny's in some areas (Waffle House unfortunately being more regional) resulting in some students asking what these "diners" were that were segregated and had sit-ins resulting in a teacher explaining, "well, they were kind of like a Denny's restaurant"
Denny's would like to strongly assure you they are not the diners of old

I feel like the cycle of take exhaustion gets shorter and shorter with each one of these events. I can't even formulate a thought on the MAGA teens at this point because they've all been mined already.

There’s actually no real reason to have a thought about any of it but as has been said we’re covering this in at least two threads apart from this one

This sense that we all have some kind of responsibility to act as national jury on a random verbal skirmish at a protest is sort of maddening and anxiety-producing. I'm sure the kids were being racist shitheads because they were wearing MAGA hats so case closed but social media creates this false sense of urgency to weigh evidence, form a nuanced opinion, say something original, etc.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 22 January 2019 17:29 (five years ago) link
i guess what i really mean is the variety of things on display in the videos made available -- the abrasiveness of the israelites, the aw shucks clueless entitlement of the boys, the model of spirited & stoic de-escalation from phillips (the native man); different modes of maleness on display & used in different ways. but i take the point it's been covered elsewhere.
