This can not be our reality. No.

Ball don't lie
I’m old enough to remember when
Being a Nazi was a bad thing in
America.

My Father fought the Nazis in WW2 - here he is in Regensburg, Germany, May 1945 (post VE Day - in profile, closest to the camera)


Not this shit again!

[COL Mustard]

1. I completely agree.

As they said in “The Blues Brothers”, I hate Illinois Nazis.

Side note: Regensburg was and still is a beautiful city.

[Duncanpup]

2. It never ends they are so evil the hateful scum.

And as young soldier my rifle platoon visited Dachau 1985 and on that tour we all cried even our senior NCO’s who went toe to toe with NVA and survived the horror,and recently we’ve discovered through genealogy a relative of ours survived Babice a sub camp of Auschwitz.

My relatives were poles Ukrainian just Slav untermensch according to Nazis fuck the master race.

3. I guess every generation has to fight against them, is all I can figure out.

My Dad is probably rolling over in his grave!

[Deuxcents]

15. My mom n dad served n I know my proud Marine dad would be pissed.

I think you’re right about every generation will have to fight this deep rooted hatred n one way would be informed voters so this can’t creep into our politics like it is doing now n strangle the traditions n norms of our government. Not just here in the US but other countries are seeing the increase of ideology, too.

[slightlv]

26. Yes, but it doesn't help that Bannon and his minions have

been all over the world trying to set up "universities" that basically teach total chaos as a foundation for government. Nazi's, IMO, should be declared a terrorist threat the United States... just as much as any other terror organization. Especially because we fought so hard to defeat them in WWII! If it was against the law to belong to a group like this, we could maybe cut down on the propaganda on Social Media, and jail the worst of the offenders promoting it.

I believe we're all going to thinking and rethinking laws, rules, and norms after we get past this episode of maga fever. We have a new world to build... a progressive, caring one!

4. Well, it is, so now what, Politics Girl?

[Mysterian]

21. What's your plan, WhiskeyGrinder?

What's your plan?

5. I will always approve of killing Nazis.

The Bear Jew had the best approach.

8. Without watching the video I'm afraid I have to agree with you.

I feel strongly about not taking the life of another human but those that espouse the NAZI/fascist principles are promising to to unto us what we don't want to do. It becomes self defense.

19. Great film!

16. It's not just a thing on the Right, my friend. Look at college campuses today.

This might be the time Herzl, had he lived now, would express that staying in America would be a disaster for Jews, just as he warned European Jews about staying in Europe in 1897.

It is ironic to me that white college kids see this as a conflict of white privilege and colonization; they don’t realize that brown Arabs have always looked down on the so-called white Jews, considering them to be an inferior race (al-Husseini, grand mufti in Jerusalem during WW2 was tied to the naziest Nazi, Adolph Hitler); When the Nakba was coined by Constantin Zurayk in 1948, it was not to describe the ‘disaster’ of the expulsion of 800,000 people from their homes, hell, that many Jews got expelled from Arab lands since 1948, and millions refugees are continually being created from war and boundary changes over the years. No one names it nakba; the Nakba referred to “seven Arab states declare war on Zionism in Palestine, stop impotent before it, and then turn on their heels”. The disaster was getting emasculated by an inferior race of people.

The empire composed of these same brown Arab people engaged in a slave trade that rivals the trans-Atlantic slave trade in numbers and dwarfs it in terms of duration, 1200 years, snatching innocents out of central Africa like the Europeans, but going a step further by castrating the males so they could never breed, which is why Arab nations don’t have a sizable black population like the US does. Gaza has a small black enclave, named Al Abeed (meaning servant or slave).

7. I hate Illinois nazis.

[Fla Dem]

9. It's still a bad thing. These are soulless, cellar dwelling, impotent idiots.

[KS Toronado]

10. Next time some damn repug mentions liberals and socialism

together and the ruination of this country because of those two words, I'm gonna have to ask them

to explain the "National Socialist Movement" Party to me and why they are always republican.

"And do you support them, and why does TFG?" Remember fine people on both sides.

[UpInArms]

11. There are no good nazis

That is all.

[cyndensco]

12. I'm out of the loop.

When and where did this happen? I googled it but now feel the need for a shower and a run of CCleaner for my computer.


Any details will be appreciated.

13. Seems Nazis are gathering in Springfield

Neo-Nazis holding rifles and swastika flags march during Ohio musical festival. This was last month.

The link shows a picture. The Nazis are wearing masks.

Also this in the Guardian 8 Sept:

"For example, two separate hate groups recently descended on Springfield, Ohio, rallying with masks and uniforms and threatening the approximately 20,000 Haitian immigrants that have arrived in the town since the pandemic."

[cyndensco]

20. So it's a chicken or the egg thing.

I figured the hate groups were revving up because trump gave them marching orders during the debate. Turns out they had been holding hate rallies and trump seized on the hate and threw gasoline on it. What a f*cked up bunch of people.

Thanks for the links.

[Beck23]

14. This is because of Trump

Trump and Vance gave the permission structure for this.

18. What a bunch of goobers.

Today's American "master race" flunked out of community college and still lives with mom.

Oh, and being a nazi is still a bad thing in America. Yet, goobers want attention I guess.

The stigma is still here, though maybe not as strong and in your face as with my parent's generation, those who lived it. Not really sure how millennial's, Z's and forward feel about it as it's become as distant now as WWI. For late boomers / early Gen X'ers like me, we still had first hand accounts from parents and grandparents. People who could sort out the accurate from the Hollywood bullshit from films, without the help of historians because...well...they were there. Dad critiquing Saving Private Ryan's infantry tactics comes to mind. Post war, before they got old, I could see Dad and some of his fellow veterans going up to that bunch of goobers and beating the shit out of them. Call the cops. They'll be on our side. At least back then, because chances were, some of them were veterans too. The goobers knew that so they didn't pull shit like this.

[FakeNoose]

22. This is another iteration of "Proud Boys"

The media gave so much attention to "Proud Boys" during Chump's term and it has spawned other groups of the same ilk. As you say, they're mostly community college dropouts, probably working part-time at the local Walmart.

When Chump loses in November, they'll fizzle out.

23. And we're not talking about this
