Armband-wearing Nazi roams Seattle instigating, gets KOed, removes armband and leaves

don't wanna go off topic, but why did Nazis and Fascists adopt the same color scheme what the Anarcho-Syndicalists used?

since Anarchists are historically older, I think Nazis and Fascists should change their color schemes.

I love that he puts his hand up and says "No, it's fine" while wearing a Nazi armband and saying something about welfare to a black man. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they were not having a reasonable discussion about the social safety net and that it was, in fact, not "fine."

i think history classes across the country have done a poor job teaching the result of nazi appeasement
 
Free speech.
The nice man with the Swastika armband might have got hurt for real because of concrete.
Violence is never the answer.
This is the reason Nazis exist.
"But the law says."


There is no FUCKING TWO SIDES. Any of the above is horse shit and anyone trying to "be the middle man with logic" is only fooling themselves.

Que lastima.

Also, fuck YouTube. They'll have channels full of racist, sexist, homophobic garbage, but one Nazi gets a civics lesson and they're scrambling to take it down? Silicon Valley capitalists can't save us.

Has anyone actually linked the dude who punched him to antifa? Because, all these "vigilante justice" and "not the right way" posters seem to be assigning ownership that hasn't been defined.

As far as the video and tweets show, a Nazi waltzed around town talking shit till he eventually caught hands.
 
I wouldn't do it myself, and I wouldn't recommend that anybody I know do it, but the fact that it happened?

I don't think society is any worse because some loser who is either a white supremacist/endorses genocide, or at best, is some loser troll who thinks genocide/intimidation is funny, got knocked the fuck out.

Red white and black were the colors of the German Empire.
 
I'm not one for violence.

But actions have consequences. If you don't want to get smacked around then don't talk smack. It's that simple.

if the right wing really tried to use this incident with a clearly visible swastika armband as a way to drum up sympathy for nazis, they can fuck off forever about how they are the patriotic ones
 
I bet he won't wear a swastika in public anymore.

Right. And I bet he won't yell his beliefs at strangers anymore either. A public service was performed, even if I won't feel sorry for the person who assaulted him if they get charged for this.

I'll still shake their hand though. You better believe it.
 
OH NO, THIS IS AWFUL, THAT PEACEFUL NAZIS WAS PUNCHED! NEVER RESORT TO VIOLENCE!

Being a Nazi is a statement of violent intent. Nazis are calling for genocide of socialists, non-whites, gays, transexuals, intellectuals, Jews, Muslims and anyone who doesn't fit their "white power" agenda.

Forgive me if I feel that I'd rather not let them reach Holocaust again before action is taken.

Everyone should be Anti-Fascist by default, if you're not, why not?
 
The coordinated social media attack is the only part that worries me in a black mirror sort of way. But good on them for standing up to neo nazis, they should never feel comfortable flaunting their garbage.

I was going to come into this thread and say stuff like I'm all for Nais getting hit but not big on vigilantes because they might get stuff wrong but in this case the guy was wearing a fucking swastika armband so, you know, can't really knock out the wrong guy there.

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler

Volume Two - The National Socialist Movement
Chapter VII: The Struggle with the Red Front

"(...)The fact that we had chosen red as the colour for our posters sufficed to attract them to our meetings. The ordinary bourgeoisie were very shocked to see that, we had also chosen the symbolic red of Bolshevism and they regarded this as something ambiguously significant. The suspicion was whispered in German Nationalist circles that we also were merely another variety of Marxism, perhaps even Marxists suitably disguised, or better still, Socialists. The actual difference between Socialism and Marxism still remains a mystery to these people up to this day. The charge of Marxism was conclusively proved when it was discovered that at our meetings we deliberately substituted the words 'Fellow-countrymen and Women' for 'Ladies and Gentlemen' and addressed each other as 'Party Comrade'. We used to roar with laughter at these silly faint-hearted bourgeoisie and their efforts to puzzle out our origin, our intentions and our aims.
We chose red for our posters after particular and careful deliberation, our intention being to irritate the Left, so as to arouse their attention and tempt them to come to our meetings – if only in order to break them up – so that in this way we got a chance of talking to the people.
In those years' it was indeed a delightful experience to follow the constantly changing tactics of our perplexed and helpless adversaries. First of all they appealed to their followers to ignore us and keep away from our meetings. Generally speaking this appeal was heeded. But, as time went on, more and more of their followers gradually found their way to us and accepted our teaching. Then the leaders became nervous and uneasy. They clung to their belief that such a development should not be ignored for ever, and that terror must be applied in order to put an end to it.
Appeals were then made to the 'class-conscious proletariat' to attend our meetings in masses and strike with the clenched hand of the proletarian at the representatives of a 'monarchist and reactionary agitation'.
Our meetings suddenly became packed with work-people fully three-quarters of an hour before the proceedings were scheduled to begin. These gatherings resembled a powder cask ready to explode at any moment; and the fuse was conveniently at hand. But matters always turned out differently. People came as enemies and left, not perhaps prepared to join us, yet in a reflective mood and disposed critically to examine the correctness of their own doctrine. (...)"

Edit: Also its one of the colors of the Second reich

This is sick, and the people supporting this are sick.
And you all wonder why the "both sides have extremists" narrative exists.
No no, there is no “both sides”. One side hates people because the simply exist and people hate nazis because they’re fucking nazis.

Considering their ideology, I do not care if people resist it with violence, hopefully the guy woke up and realized his mistake lol.
