One minute they are Marxist, the next minute they are Nazi. Give me fucking strength.

It is really hard to keep up here in ethno nationalist land previously known as the UK. English footballers take the knee and and it is all about a Marxist takeover and the boos from the fans in the stand resound around the stadium, cause culture wars. But apparently it is not Marxism at all. It be Nazi. 👀

Tory MP compares England players taking the knee to Nazi salutes



Players faced boos ahead of their match against Romania last night - but vowed to continue taking the knee throughout the Euro 2020 tournament.

And in a lengthy Facebook post last night, Tory MP Brendan Clarke-Smith, compared the gesture to footballers performing the Nazi salute during a 1938 match against Germany in Berlin.

He wrote: "Following the 1936 Berlin Olympics being used as a propaganda exercise and under a great deal of pressure from both the FA and Britain’s ambassador at the time, the players were encouraged to join the hosts in making the Nazi salute prior to the match.

Not the same thing at all. Not Marxists. Not Nazi's. Just anti-racist and therefore both Marxist and Nazi. Fuck these far right racists

right I like to make it a circular line. Imagine a circular clock face and arrange the various political
groups like this:

Put the moderates at the 6 o'clock position and from there to the left of that pencil in the democrats and liberals around the 9 o'clock spot. Continue on to the 11:59 spot where we can pencil in the communists. At the 3 o'clock position we can put the center-right folk and continue on to the 12:01 spot that belongs to the fascists. That puts the fascists and communists right next to each other.

That really makes it clear to me. And thanks for inspiring this train of thought.

Far Right Nazis and Far Left Commies. Not a lot to choose between those extremes. They're all assholes.

As I understand it ALL the players are on the same page and want to continue doing it. These effing wingers are so clueless. They do know how to stir the pot quite well though.

The left is both communist and fascist, cuz "socialist" was in the German fascist party name.

Of course, the Democratic Party of today is the same as it was in the days of Jim Crow and only liberals are racists.

The christofascists live in their own little world of ignorance, denial and gullibility.
