Please stop trying to rationalize with them. Please stop tolerating their hate. These people don't care about logic or morality. The guy in the photo at the Nazi rally with the tatted face and meth teeth blames his problems on Jews. They only understand power. That's all they know. That's the only way they'll be stopped.

With that said, can some of y'all come down here to Florida? We've got a Nazi problem that's getting out of control and can use some support. They've been here this whole time in hiding, but since the government has recently been tolerant of their intolerance, they're coming out in pride. They're cowards that blame their own issues on vulnerable people. They don't blame their problems on dominant peoples or cultures in power, just the minorities. So, with enough show of strength, they'll go back into hiding or move away to Argentina.

Look at their little insurrection attempt. One Capitol officer misled them due to their lack of organization, and another officer fired one round. All it took was a distraction to jack up their plans and one shot for them to tuck tail and run. A coup failed due to a deception and one bullet.

Imagine if the real Nazis would have been stopped before they built their war machine. That's where we're at right now. Things can get soooo much worse if we allow them time to gain more power.

I don't mean to be negative but what can other people do? I feel like it'll be difficult to motivate the average non-racist to move to a place where they might have worse job prospects, get ostracized for their political/social views, and get both harassed and potentially arrested/killed by the police for trying to protest against racism.

[–] rambaroo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

For real Florida already sucks even without Nazis or DeTaintis. Hell no I will not move there.

I live in Portland. That shit ain't fun. This place was and remains a magnet for chud mouthbreathers to try to start shit

People are always like ANtiFa and NaZis are the SaMe! Violence solves nothing!

Guess what got those assholes to stop coming into my city en masse to menace residents? Getting confronted and not being allowed to run roughshod all over the place. People fought them and doxxed those fuckers to their employers and families. There hasn't been a notable right wing rally here in at least 2 years.

Nazis and their ilk are by nature cowards. Thinking it'll blow over if you ignore them does not work and emboldens them

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Being a Nazi is not an opinion. It's choosing an ideology of violence. It's fundamentally an intentional violent act. Being a member should make you an accessory to a hate crime, and be investigated for criminal conspiracy if they come within a mile of a weapon.

This is what he wants.

In Nazi Germany, the guy in the picture would have been put in a camp before he could even raise his arm.

So whats the reason they aren't immediately put in handcuffs? This shit wouldn't fly in Germany

[–] BornVolcano@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One of the reasons I love that I'm in Germany rn. You don't get people casually joking about Nazis then laughing it off like it's nothing. It is literally against the law, and people treat that topic with actual respect.

Jesus fucking Christ. I'd say that's worse than Florida in some ways. There was an incident where 50 teenagers went looking for black people to kill!? That's straight up klan behavior! What the actual fuck!?

Just the Disney pullout of their Orlando corporate campus has lost the state a billion in taxable spending. Add to that the cancellation of multiple large conventions and the elimination of consideration for future conventions. Thousands of other businesses, organizations and tourists are cancelling trips and avoiding Florida and this is going to add up to an enormous sum that the state will never recover.

Lots of conservatives may be fascists, but I'd be willing to bet their attachment to their own economic comfort is stronger than their ideology. IMO Florida's had enough of DeSantis and he is going to soon join Scott Walker in political oblivion.

Also, the military will likely remove bases there and will not expand existing ones or build new ones. They're doing so much damage to the state, yet the voters can't see it somehow.

[–] clutch@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Voters are schmucks unfortunately and a sizable portion won't be alive to see the consequences.

Are these american nazis aware their grandads killed nazis? I've always found it bizarre they fell down that rabbit hole.

[–] Eezyville@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (4 children)

There was a Nazi party here in the US and a lot of people admired Hitler when he was rebuilding Germany. There were even some members of the press that expressed admiration when they covered the reforms he did.

Privilege can let you get away with a lot of things. There were concentration camps for Japanese-American citizens but none for German or Italian. For the Italians they were asked to persuade their extended families in Italy to stop fighting against us. I'm not sure what was asked for the Germans. My source is from documentaries I've seen (I really like this one).

The guy in the picture definitely wouldn't be among the first to be killed by the original Nazi Party. Absolute master race material right there.

Imagine being so ignorant that you allow yourself to be a bought-and-paid-for zombie foot-soldier of one of the most ineffective politicians to ever embarrass himself into hopeful irrelevance.

Whenever I get down about how my life is going- it always helps to know that I’m not one of these dipshits.

Hitler had a dim view of Anglos and Americans in general. He would have given these Neo Nazis a one way train ticket to the concentration camps.

No one is suggesting DeSantis is a neo-Nazi sympathizer.

I get the impression that this guy might be out of touch.

I'll suggest it ✋ DeSantis is a neo-Nazi sympathizer.

They go where nobody is going to give them any resistance. Try come doing that shit in my neighborhood and see how it goes. We all know what we have to do to stop them. The sooner we stop bitching and whining about it and start doing it the better off we will be.
