The group of more than a dozen masked individuals marched wearing red shirts and black pants, waving flags with swastikas on them. It is not clear at this time who the group is or affiliated with, though many of the shirts said “Blood Tribe.”

              Oh I know why but it’s not just a Western culture thing, it’s a human thing but recently changes in human culture has made the west especially susceptible to it.

              It’s tribalism and fear and lack of investment in the future of our nation, it’s economic stress and social disconnectedness and the very human desire to try and blame all problems on a single monolithic entity, and to follow the largest and loudest person who hates that monolithic entity so much he will take your culture to the victorious promise land of a past that never existed.

            Stormfront has been around for nearly 30 years. HBO made a documentary about them.

            There’s an argument that big websites are barely moderated now (aside from child porn that can actually get them in trouble) so they’re more visible in mainstream places, but they were always there and found each other easily.

          barbarian was just the word romans to describe non-romans. It’s simply roman propoganda to call any tribes that weren’t roman barbarians. The implication that their customs were somehow cruel compared to modern standards is also way off base. It’s simply a way to dismiss a people and a culture because it’s not your own, which if you ask me is pretty fucking barbaric.

          You seem to have a fundamentally incorrect view on how they view these things, but quite frankly it’s way too complicated to explain in a comment, so, idk.

          Read a book that discusses fascism and its love of syncretism, or listen to the Behind the Bastards episode on Hitler’s favorite novel series or something if you want to understand why Nazis love tribal warrior cultures, or at least things they can pretend are their ideas of such.

      Not defending them, but they can certainly think they are in the right and realize that most of society violently disagrees with them. I’d say they were smart to wear masks to avoid repercussions from their vile, awful, hateful behavior.

      I hope that if their names come out that they lose their jobs, get their asses kicked, get disowned by family and friends, and get run out of town. They know that many people feel the same as I do so, even if they really believe the filth they represent, they are probably scared to show their faces.

        Because they identify as male, and yet they may as well not have a dick, for all the value they bring to society.

        Most people without dicks are not losers.

        Granted, I accept that there is a subset of people who do not have a dick and are also losers, and most of these people do not deserve to be associated with these scum.

        However, ultimately, the purpose of my comment was quite clearly not to insult those people, but to dig into the core of what the people in the march hold valuable and insult them.

        If you’re not a member of the march, you’re not a dickless loser. However, if you are in the march, then in reality you are a dickless loser because neither you nor your penis (or lack thereof) has no value to society.


        I don’t think there were any women in this march.

If one advocates for a world where common people are allowed to take justice into their own hands and just murder people perceived to be bad then that is a horribly violent world where nobody is safe.

                People here are literally advocating murdering others for thought crimes. They only need to hold a set of certain beliefs and that is a good enough justification to murder them. No, actually it’s even worse; people only need to think you hold a set of beliefs and that’s enough.

                  Not thought crimes. Marching in the streets with literal swastikas on flags. Their “set of certain beliefs” killed 17 million people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims) as part of their beliefs: and that’s without counting the deaths they caused by starting a war.

                  It’s not some clever gotcha to pretend this is a grey area. It’s not folks saying to go after GOP members, people in militias that are dogwhistling, or even the Proud Boys. It’s not folks that loudmouths on twitter are claiming are nazis. The issue here is literal fucking nazis. I actually have a PhD, and I consider it wise to chase literal goddamn nazis out of town with violence. Tolerating the most extreme intolerance is not a path toward a good future.

                Also, vigilante justice like this means there is no court process and investigation about wether said person actually is guilty of the crime they’re accused of. Innocent people will fall victim to it aswell. I’m sure there are more that one people in this thread thinking I’m a literal nazi aswell but I’m not and murdering me would mean murdering a person for “crime” they did not commit.

      Yeah, I don’t know if free speech covers this.

      We (Allies) never made peace with the Nazis. We crushed their military and hanged any officials that didn’t eat cyanide, but there was no treaty or surrender. We didn’t even let the Germans govern themselves until we could figure out who wasn’t a Nazi.

      I would argue that anyone who flies that flag is effectively pledging allegiance to an enemy. And like… The enemy. The guys who industrialized genocide and literally tried to take over the world.

      So idk about shooting them if they’re just jerking each other off in the street. But I would like to channel Aldo Raine and carve swastikas into their foreheads.
