Support NeoGAF

[N21]

If you go round spreading negativity, what do you think the outcome is going to be?

 

[fireflame]

One issue might be people starting to imitate this and possibly committing mistakes, or people building up false accusations about someone an dpeople believing it. Not to mention that the guy could have been armed with a knife/gun. Now this wont happen but imagine if things escalated.

 

[EVO]

Dude probably deserves a beating but I don't like to see anyone get dropped like that. We call that a coward punch over here.

[legacyzero]

He was asking for trouble doing this shit in Seattle of all places 😂😂😂

 

[Nakazato]

His ass sleep

 

[Skyr]

Excellent. If it's a clear cut case like we see here I support this!

If you wear a swastika armband you are a neo-nazi and deserve to be treated as such.

No more evidence needed!


Like I wish every actual neo-nazi would have the balls to wear this.
Go ahead and show flag for youre believes. And then deal with the consequences!

 

[Palette Swap]

Mob justice and you have people in here praising it wtf am I seeing?

In b4 people call me a "nazi-sympathizer"

You could at least try and complain a bit about the armband.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

.

Well then. Lesson learnt

 

[Crossing Eden]

Mob justice and you have people in here praising it wtf am I seeing?

He's a nazi. They did this:

this guy was harassing people and very much would like to do the above considering he's wearing their symbols. Fuck him.

 

[JustenP88]

When I read all this pearl clutching about "vigilantism" I can't help but interpret it as "if you see something, say nothing."

Fucking weak. Dude is walking around a major metropolitan area with a swastika on his arm. People use social media to raise awareness, a rando knocks the shit out of the white supremacist and lames use this as an opportunity to signal boost right wing talking points.

Fucking. Pathetic.

 

[How About No]

*walks around with a bullseye and 'shoot me' on shirt*

*gets shot*

"why'd you shoot me dawg???"

 

[BitStyle]

Mob justice and you have people in here praising it wtf am I seeing?

Did you even see the video?

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

too late, we already do

Some idiot in the US with an armband = the literal Nazis of WWII era Germany?

Did the guy ask for it? Yes. Did he deserve it? Probably. Still think it's twisted how excited you guys get over this stuff.

 

[plagiarize]

Mob: "A large crowd of people, especially one that is disorderly and intent on causing trouble or violence."

If you have to exaggerate what happened in order to make it sound bad... IT'S NOT BAD.

 

[Kimawolf]

Don't know what to feel about this.

Let me help you... Fuck NAZIS AND WANNA BE NAZIS! These pepple want to emulate people who put babies in furnaces. So fuck them. Same with KKK.

 

[Username1198]

What about violence against nazi children? Is that cool?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I'm fucking done

Your stanning awfully hard for awful people.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

This is sick, and the people supporting this are sick.
And you all wonder why the "both sides have extremists" narrative exists.

The "both sides" narrative exists for the same reason the "vaccines are dangerous!" or "the earth is flat!" narratives exist, because there are enough fucking idiots to push it and buy into it. It has no actual merit.

 

[Sianos]

What about violence against nazi children? Is that cool?

no, violence against children would not be cool, but that isn't what happened here, now is it?

 

[Nafai1123]

Hey look at that it was an effective way for him to remove his arm band. Maybe he actually learned something....like the fact that if you spread hate and promote violence in public you're gonna get knocked the fuck out. What a revelation.

 

[jfkgoblue]

You could at least try and complain a bit about the armband.

Yeah he's a shithead but this mob mentality plays into their narrative.

Mob: "A large crowd of people, especially one that is disorderly and intent on causing trouble or violence."

If you have to exaggerate what happened in order to make it sound bad... IT'S NOT BAD.

It is mob justice, just because it happened on twitter doesn't make it not.

 

[Muffin1611]

Mob justice and you have people in here praising it wtf am I seeing?

The American law doesn't provide the absolutely necessary "justice" in this case so

I will not cry over a Nazi getting punched

 

[Maddness]

I don't get why there are some people upset with this? This fine gentleman was just trying to help this Nazi piece of shit find some common ground between them and now he's laying on that common ground.

 

[Kusagari]

I'm genuinely ignorant on this: do modern Nazis actually want to *kill* the minorities, or just deport them?

They just want a "peaceful ethnic cleansing."

No big deal.

 

[Flying Toaster]

I am surprised he wasn't punched on the bus. I am also surprised that there are people saying violence isn't the answer. If you are an asshole expect to be treated like one. If you wear or associate with rascist hateful symbols prepare to be treated like an asshole.

 

[HariKari]

Some idiot in the US with an armband = the literal Nazis of WWII era Germany?

That's the end goal, yeah. People are going to push back.

 

[Bömb]

Isn’t it great that rejects like him get to advertise their idiocy?

Free speech works.

Hm, I get what you're saying. But imagine being a Jewish person or any minority seeing him walking around yelling at people and have no way of getting help from the police?

And I wouldn't say European countries that ban hate symbols and hate speech are any less free than America.

In America it's already illegal to say certain things (direct threats for example).

 

[Dragon Puncher]

Don't be a nazi if you don't wanna get punched in the face. Easy.

 

[gdt]

Fuck yeah honestly. This dude was a nightmare on the bus and on the street. You wear that shit you are going to get fucked up.

Imagine someone walking around downtown in any American city in 1950 wearing that armband. They would've got got then and there.

 

[Breads]

What about violence against nazi children? Is that cool?

Someone please think of the...


Oh wait this doesn't happen.

What a stupid thing point to try to make.

 

[phanphare]

What about violence against nazi children? Is that cool?

won't someone think of the nazi children!!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

.

And that's one less Nazi to worry about.

 

[Instro]

Should have planted a fucking flag on him for good measure.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Some idiot in the US with an armband = the literal Nazis of WWII era Germany?

Did the guy ask for it? Yes. Did he deserve it? Probably. Still think it's twisted how excited you guys get over this stuff.

Why else do you think someone would wear a nazi armband in the year 2017 and go around harassing minorities? What goals do you think they have in mind?

 

[Heshinsi]

I’m glad America’s favorite pastime is back.

I'm buying the new CoD just out of principle. Perfect timing to have us start fighting Nazi scum again.

 

[BlackDoomShadow]

*walks around with a bullseye and 'shoot me' on shirt*

"why'd you shoot me dawg???"

 

[How About No]

im also on that ground cuz im rolling from this post

 

[E-Cat]

They promote ethnostates and the prospect of deporting, but they are aware it's unfeasible. Their end game will would to massive deaths.

Mass deportations is more infeasible than conducting a genocide?

 

[Oxn]

Some of you are so fucking wet.
"oh no the violence, so unethical!" You make me sick.

If you see a Nazi then fucking smash their stupid heads into mush.

I hope to see more stories like this.

Im curious to know what youve done in the past.

 

[The Technomancer]

What is this recent thing where people are surprised that displays of Nazism get met with violence? Skinhead Nazi in a bar probably going to get punched

 

[SummitAve]

no, violence against children would not be cool, but that isn't what happened here, now is it?

I wasn't replying about this specific incident? He stated that punching nazis is always cool. Apparently it isn't when I provided an example of violence against somebody who is purely a product of their environment. I'm not saying this person is that, it was just an example that was clearly contrary to his statement.

 

[plagiarize]

Yeah he's a shithead but this mob mentality plays into their narrative.

What fucking mob?

Who's narrative?

The Nazi got punched and fell down. It's a feel good moment. It's been a feel good moment in our society for fucking decades and it continues to be so.

 

[The Elite]

What about violence against nazi children? Is that cool?

If their parents are raising them to be Nazis I would want them removed from the home and put in care.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

"first they came for the Nazis, and I said nothing because holy shit fuck Nazis why do they still exist?"

 

[sonicmj1]

.

So a guy with a swastika armband went around trying to instigate a fight, and eventually succeeded.

Sounds like everything worked as it should. Maybe don't go around wearing a globally recognized symbol of hate and harassing people if you don't want to get punched in the face.

 

[KojiKnight]

Yell at him if you wish, but surrounding him and sucker-punching him was wrong and something I'd expect out of the Alt-Right.

Antifa's actions will fuel the "both sides" nonsense and any effort for equality and peace will dissolve into random ambushes, like this one.

The Alt-Right will gain more from this than Antifa will. And not just on the street level. This shit is Cool-Aid for conservatives.

Trump/Fox/Alt-Righters will use this shit to their advantage.

It was a stupid move. Period.

Anyone who uses "both sides" argument automatically loses. No one is going to be that dumb. The guy is a nazi. Not just a random alt-right person... To claim both sides would be to defend a nazi. Even fox news isn't that dumb.

 

[Sianos]

What about violence against nazi children? Is that cool?

alternative post: what about nazi violence against children? is that cool?

should we allow people DIRECTLY STATING their intentions to commit genocide and throw children into furnaces to do so before retaliating?

I wasn't replying about this specific incident? He stated that punching nazis is always cool. Apparently it isn't when I provided an example of violence against somebody who is purely a product of their environment. I'm not saying this person is that, it was just an example that was clearly contrary to his statement.

yes, you can use definitions to find an edge case in which punching a "nazi" would be "bad", since violence against children is unequivocally bad and you can find a human specimen that could be accurately describes using conventional definitions as both "self-describes as a nazi" and "is a minor"

should my counter be that what if the nazi child in your hypothetical has a gun to a kind elderly jewish woman's head? we can make edge case hypotheticals back and forth all day

 

[Switch Back 9]

Mob justice and you have people in here praising it wtf am I seeing?

In b4 people call me a "nazi-sympathizer"

Grow up.

 

[Fenderputty]

Come again?

i nominate to try and convince some self-proclaimed nazis that genocide is actually not okay

go forth, preferably in person since apparently you think nazis are non-violent

report back with results

Listen there's lots here to unpackage here:

A. punching a Nazi IMO, isn't inherently bad. Apparently even my original posting of this was missed by Sianos, so I'll restate.
B. It is possible for someone to exist and think violence in general, even against Nazis, isn't appropriate. That doesn't make them a clown or a Nazi themselves.
C. People on the right will use stuff like this to obfuscate and morally equivocate between the two groups. I look forward to my daily right wing radio listen on the way home doing just that.

I'm sorry I've provided some nuance to your otherwise fun filled thread about punching nazis.

 

[TheRealCanadianBros.]

The celebration of violence against this Nazi is absolutely disgusting and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
