Trump: "I have the biggest crowds!"

Since then...
Women's March

March for Science

Immigration Ban Protest March

Charlottesville Vigil

It feels like we've been marching in protest ever since... and I see no signs of us slowing down.

 

[TyrantII]

Free speech one... Likely referring to the Fitchburg State Sophomore who is like 19 and one of the organizers of the 'rally'

Co-sponsor. Both KKK and Nazis linked groups were signed on to show up, but it looks like they're.leaving.theor 4chan brethren out to hang alone.

 

[Kensation]

But...but....they were supposed to fight Nazis by not showing up!

 

[SugarDave]

I'll be heading over later with the world's most powerful weapon.

A camera.

Fockin' yassss maaaan.

Stay safe though.

 

[Soroc]

So proud of my new England brothers and sisters and everyone else that travelled to stand against hate and bigotry. Well done Boston, chase them back into the shadows and the fringes of society.

 

[Blader]

Seems silly. Anything can be a weapon. Just seems odd.

A lot of things can be made into weapons, but long metal rods especially so.

 

[KingV]

Seems silly. Anything can be a weapon. Just seems odd.

American Nazis have been purposefully using them as weapons and discussing how to make them better weapons online specifically because they seem innocuous.

 

[joe2187]

How likely is it that the Nazi/KK protesters dont feel safe unless they can march with their sheilds, sticks and guns?

 

[paperboywriter]

so when is this thing starting exactly? are there any good streams that cover it?

 

[Kusagari]

The Nazis are going to wimp out unless they can legally have dudes armed with guns everywhere around them.

My favorite part was the "do you have a bike?!" closer.

It's like there's a god damned bat-signal. Someone always wants to compromise in the face of something that will not compromise once it has the power to exert it's will without consequence. People are way too far removed from the lessons learned and the horrible price in lives paid the first half of the 20th century to even have the mindset to entertain this nonsense.

Funny thing is, we have countless historical examples of how to effectively protest/counter-protest. It has never included 'just do it on another day so you won't have to cry if you get hurt.'

There's a stream on here showing counter-protesters marching:

[Wag]

THe crowd of counter protesters is about to get A LOT bigger. The group that started in roxbury, thousands of people, should arrive at the common at like 12:30. It'll seriously look like some Game of Thrones Stannis backup flank from the air.

MEanwhile, the Nazi count is up to about 6.



To be honest, I don't think there's any television "news" that isn't infotainment.

PBS Newshour.

It was suppose t start at 12

lol like 5 people there

 

[Wag]

lol like 5 people there

As I said before- from overhead it looks like 20-30 people.

Either way, MA isn't an open carry state so these guys aren't going to show up en masse here.

Well, it is hard to find parking in Boston, and public transit is for commies...

 

[Linkura]

They have that in Boston though. There's more cops in their area than there are Nazis. Because so few of them showed up LMAO

 

[The Albatross]

PBS Newshour.

Oh true true +1... Usually only listen to it on WGBH Radio, forgot it's on TV

 

[joe2187]

This is what a physical representation of 4chan looks like.

 

[III-V]

Not so silly after watching Deandre getting beat with them in public last week.

 

[vatstep]

doing pogs maybe

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Wonder how them folks plan on getting out of there? The crowd is gonna be even bigger when it ends at 2..

 

[Sanjuro]

Fuck Curt and fuck his enablers.

I still have my Schilling jersey. It's covered in mustard though.

Lmao so pathetic.

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

Probably the same thing other animals do inside a zoo cage; fling poo, pick lice off each other, shriek animistic noises at the zoogoers, eating things we throw at them, and so on.

 

[Sanjuro]

I need to know if any bicycles were confiscated though.

Smear it in shit and the stench of failure and you too can be Curt Schilling.

Dude could throw a ball, but it's literally the only thing he could do.

Looks like a literal "THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!" moment. What an uplifting sight.

 

[TyrantII]

They leaving. 2 hours and 30 min before their permit is up.

Losers.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Why are the police protecting those assholes? Dumb question I know.

 

[shiba5]

You can bet they will show up in bigger numbers in an open carry state. Snowflakes.

And this is why James Murdoch making a million dollar donation to ADL means nothing.

 

[sn00zer]

Anyone got a link to that recent thread that had a primer on recent social movements?

 

[minor effort]

The fact that this had to be said is pretty telling.

The first step is making these people afraid to fly their nazi flags or wear their armbands in public again. The Charlottesville rally was a very bold display of outright nazi imagery from its participants. Stamping out their belief that they can get away with being publicly Third Reich-ass Nazi is only the first step, but an important one.

 

[Simmins]

The best part about this is watching the mental gymnastics that pol is having to do. Before the Rally was set to begin they were touting how there was going to be 1,000 people attending, as the day went on and they started to realize that no one was really showing up they starting making excuses with some saying it was all a ruse and no one had planned on showing up anyway.
