The "cuck" thing is from that band of MRAs, Stormfronters, Gamergaters, and Drumpfucks who think they're the "new, hip" right wing that's now known as the alt-right. In short, openly racist, sexist, homophobic. Some of them have openly rejected democracy and have this idea of replacing democratic government with a "CEO", also known as a dictator.

They keep trying to reestablish themselves and grow their cancer on Reddit. Right now, they're on /r/The_Donald and r/KotakuInAction. Before, they were in /r/Coontown (before it was banned), and they organize in places like Stormfront and 4chan.

And "cuck", aka cuckolding comes from the classic stereotype of a white guy (a left-winger, or a right-winger that isn't adequately zealous enough for them) sitting and watching as a stereotypical black man screws his wife.

I know it's an obsession of MRA types and assorted numpties like that, so that's probably hte primary source. But I didn't know this was a thing the Apricot Trumpling Gang "did."

Apparently, in the view of the alt-right crowd, any white person who isn't a white supremacist is a masochist who get off on seeing white people being metaphorically fucked by non-white people. Essentially, it's a cruder form of the "liberal masochism" trope that racial conservatives have been using for decades, dating back at least to Daniel Moynihan.

It's a far right wing, woman hating 'meninist' term.

It stems from racist cuckold porn tropes in involving a white guy getting "cucked" by a hyper-masculine black guy banging his wife.

From there it spread to various far-RW boards on Reddit like /r/KotakuInAction and /r/The_Donald and then further to sites like Breitbart.

Conservatism has failed white people. Conservatives talk about being conservative and then they support FTAs and other job killing stuff, and their the working white class to war to die, while their kids never step on a battlefield.



Cucks or Cuckservatism is the branding on an ideology that has failed.
