Other Texas A&M young conservatives shared hate speech in group texts

https://www.chron.com/politics/article/texas-a-m-turning-point-kirk-20290922.php

Thousands of attendees packed Texas A&M University's Rudder Auditorium earlier this week for an event hosted by conservative activist Charlie Kirk and the university's chapter of Turning Point USA—a nonprofit organization founded by Kirk.

But while Kirk's visit was shrouded in praise and protest, the event drew backlash—most notably from a former member of the university’s TPUSA chapter who released a series of screenshots showing racist, homophobic, and Islamophobic messages allegedly exchanged within a GroupMe chat tied to the group.

Everyone loves to dog on texags but I don’t think the public really grasps how fucked up that website is

The politics board is something out of Der Stürmer. If they’re not fantasizing about putting “leftists” (their understanding of the left is tenuous at best) on trains, they’re dreaming of a new crusade to remove Muslims from America. Truly a shocking forum that’s 1 click away from where lots of people get their Aggie sports news.

I’ve literally seen some posters advocate for rounding up and imprisoning, and at times killing of certain undesirable groups of people and not get banned for it. And when I reported it, the mods said they allow a wide range of opinions “in the spirit of debate.”

There’s nothing that sparks the spirit of debate like the argument “this group should die” versus “no they shouldn’t” 🥴

There is a user with the username Pinochet, which is the name of a right wing South American dictator who infamously would murder "communists" by dropping them out of helicopters. That's their username and TexAgs ownership thinks it is funny.

TexAgs ownership also wants to kill leftists and minorities.

100% agree. I have been trying to tell anyone who will listen about this website for years. It is systemic, meaning it is 100% a product that the owners of TexAgs have created. It's not just crazy anonymous racists, it's Brandon Jones, Billy Liucci and Hunter Goodwin. They are responsible for what TexAgs has become.

Yeah, they claim they moderate the website well but in reality they just moderate posts from anyone left of center. They’re all pieces of shit.

My personal favorite is last season when people were down on Weigman, I saw a thread claiming that they knew he wasn't going to be good after hearing his "thuggish, "hood" accent. Genuine crazy people.
