Over the past year or so I’ve seen “chud” cross over from Chapo-adjacent online leftist spaces to general internet lingo. In the process it seems like the meaning has shifted though. To me it was a catch-all term for dumb and buffoonish right-wingers and fascists in general frothingfash

It seems in non-leftist usage chud is just the school shooter wojak and basically means “weird ugly unemployed redditor with mass murder fantasies and implied autism.” The chud is not worthy of scorn because of his far-right politics, but because he is cringe. The original political context of the word has been stripped and replaced by ableism

    A lot of the times I have mostly seen chuds call themselves chuds as a badge of honor, of course some of it is to always show you’re unbothered…but on the rare occasion I have seen chud used to mean “loser”.

    I’m all for it, I’m going to laugh if someone says “stop being a chud” to roast a friend online and some fashoid is screeching how that’s a “woke word”.
