You'd think nazi's wouldn't like the dude, considering he flew over to the UK to try and sign a peace deal on his own...

It's impossible to understand the thought process of a Nazi. They're a walking contradiction.
They'll celebrate losing and still call themselves the "master race".

True
Isn't this the place that in the past have made a counter game on the nazi's march? They donated X amount of money per kilometer the march went. The donation? Anti racism. The longer they marched, the more people donated to anti racism. I thought that was pretty awesome.

I apologise but we also have very dumb mother fuckers living here. granted there are not many of them but they do exist and we try to deal with them.
It still is a national embarrassment.

Any bits of interesting info for those who are hit by a pay wall?
Protesting is a constitutional right. Even for Nazis as long as they keep to the rules
Only if they said anything forbidden. The neo-nazis in germany have learned to ride the edge of what's legal
Things like Swastikas, the Sieg Heil chants, the arm or things which are considered glorification of Nazis.
One would think a memorial of Nazi scum is glorification but judge thought otherwise.

Well they are the master race..
Master Race of Losers

Not to defend Nazis or anything but if you are them, you can believe race x is superior to race y while not being invincible.
If there was 1 nazi aryan standing before 50 soviet soldiers, they probably wouldn't think "well, he's the master race, he'll overcome these odds"
Also they lost two wars :^)

There were losers on many sides. The Allied forces had some bad apples, believe me.

You probably know more about Heß than these assholes combined.
Read a book before spewing nonsense. Don't equate Nazis with the generation that fought in the First World War. It shows your sheer ignorance.
The Germans who participated in the conflict of that period fought for the ideals of imperialism just as hard as the British, French, and Russians.
If people are bringing up "they lost a war so that shatters the master race narrative" then I don't see how equating is inaccurate.
People tried to forbid it but a court allowed them
The first world war had nothing to do with the master race ideology.
Hess I'm fairly sure flew to the UK in 1941 and played no further part in the war other than being a prisoner so I'm not even sure why he's celebrated.

Can't believe this got me.

That this was allowed surprised me but the same site had an article about the authorization itself (and its controversy):
I like how they exhumed and burned his remains, and demolished his grave.
Edit: LOL

Different place but same occasion. They started sponsoring the Nazis to walk in aid of a charity that helps rehabilitate reformed people from the far-right, and decorated the parade route with pink, glittery banners making fun of them.
I've gotta say I'm somewhat conflicted over the phrasing
They are supremacists, but are they "white supremacists" in the American sense of the word? They are not promoting "whiteness" but their own twisted ideas of purity, which actually excludes a lot of "white" folk. Just call them what they are, fascists and idiots
Guess the anti-fascist-laws aren't strict enough yet.... on the other hand, at least this way you can actually see who you're up against, I guess

This is a distinction without a difference. At points in American history, white supremacists were anti-Catholic, anti-Irish, anti-Italian, etc.
The KKK was certainly anti-Catholic at its founding.
to Americans there may be no difference, but when I hear white supremacy I usually think of the KKK first and not necessarily "classic" Nazis in Germany.
(Although they too are undeniably part of a white supremacy ideology, I'd just never call them that since, as I said, it's kinda strange promoting "whiteness" when you're also marginalising "white" groups)
And I just told you that American white supremacist organizations such as the KKK often targeted whites as well.
It seems stupid to rank racist fascists. (I put genocidal originally before editing, but I don't think the KKK ever actually has had that as a policy, beyond "Go back to Africa")

How is this possible?! Only America has Freedom of Speech cryingEagle.gif
Interesting. I just assumed that the laws were more general on what isn't tolerated.
It's not a "ranking" at all and also not a differentiation between different layers of evil if that's what you are trying to imply. I just thought it was odd to use a term to describe something that deviates from the description - because I'm sure there are fascist groups out there which would fit it perfectly.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned. So what's wrong with just calling them fascists? that's what they are and that's what they stand for. Doesn't make them appear any less evil.
Wasn't Rudolph Hess the idiot who undertook a secret mission to fly to Britain in a plane then crashed in Scotland, was promptly captured and saw the remaining years World War II play out from the sideline in custody? Why the fuck would you ever have a memorial for that idiot? Are Nazis so desperate to idolize these shitty men that they will completely ignore that they were not just monsters but also huge fucking idiots and losers?
