I just readed on Facebook a guy comparing BLM to nazism that they are the same and want racial superiority.
And a bunch talking that communists should die or arrested.
Yeah, after reading this my Hope on humanity is low Now. And i'm more Glad by the punch.
Well if you're someone dependant on the mechanisms of white supremacy minorities fighting against a core aspect of that system probably would seem like terrorism.

Exactly. When people of color vocally and publicly demand equality and to be treated with basic human decency. Fragile as fuck white moderates instantly see the decline of their systems of power and privilege that they would never publicly claim knowledge or support of but silently enjoy and rely on.

Sometimes i wish i could put peoples faces to look into the past and see what nazi's did and are willing to do the same again when they have the chance. That is fascism, you do not notice it at first until it is to late..ethnic cleansing will commence and when you who defended these nazi's, it is simple they will round you up and put you also in a concentration camp no matter if you are a jew or not.

They just want to kill you and your whole family, that's why i say it again your anti-fascist by default to uphold society to not let these fuckers get a inch or centimeter of space.
 
The concern for the physical well-being of flag-bearing nazis on this self-proclaimed liberal forum will never cease to amaze me.

It's quite breathtaking.

But...we see time and time again that humans have very short memories and are happy to completely side-step past sins that should never be forgotten. Never did I expect to see such courtesy extended to Nazis. Then again, we have people defending the heroes of the slave-defending Confederacy. We've had pedophile sympathizers in the past as well. There will always be a cross-section of apologists for everything I suppose. But it will never cease to shock me. A good shocking is good; keeps us grounded in reality where.

saying white people won't scare off white people who are sick of this bullshit too. White people are sick of white people in this thread more concerned about Nazis getting punched than white supremacists killing miniorities and voting against equality and fairness.
By generalizing you are calling effectively saying everyone that's white enjoy the benefits of white supremacy and Nazis so they all secretly support them.

It does you more harm then it does you good saying that.
 
Hey guys, slow down the punch video to .25 or .5 speed. So, so good.

Anybody defending this ass should be ashamed. He got what he deserved. Don't walk around proudly wearing symbols of death, mass genocide and hate.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Agreed, I'm almost translucent and I believe all these cunts deserve to be knocked out for their insane views.

I also conflicted about it all. I don't really condone the punch but I'm not upset it happened. It's complex...

Don't generalise!

I'm fine with the punch, but I'm uncomfortable with the seemingly coordinated effort to achieve it.

That was beautiful, he went all OPM on that Nazi. Might even rival the Richard Spencer one.

Uhhhh... by David Wong you mean from Cracked...?

O_O

Holy shit.

Also, the fuck YouTube? Removed because of "Harassment and bullying"? By the part of the puncher or the one being punched? Why do I get the feeling that it's the part of the puncher?
 
I'm really curious why you believe Hitler's opinions on these matters are relevant? Did you expect him to encourage people to fight Nazis?

For fuller context of the first quote...

http://www.snopes.com/adolf-hitler-smashing-the-nucleus/

And to the second...it's a survivor's opinion on the power of love to change.

I'm not trying to say love stops bullets or physically wins wars.

The man let him fall down in a heap and then walked away after all the things he said to completely innocent people. Death and genocide, ethic cleansing and whatnot. How is that not love for your fellow man even when he's got the worst kind of trash attitude and is literally a blight to society? And even better, I also feel that if they were genuinely willing to change, they would eventually be accepted back into society as a whole.

But the onus is entirely on them to change, it's not on us or any other would-be victim to accept that crap. Absolutely not. Look at who that article is quoting ffs.

If you go through the propaganda materials of the 1930s there are going to be lots of things that are familiar today. How people are demonized hasnt really changed much.
 
What the fuck is going on in America when someone leaves the house and goes into a city wearing a nazi armband?!

I'm more appalled by that than the guy getting knocked out. It's so brazen I feel like it must be some kind
If social experiment gone wrong.

Is that the point we're at in the states where someone feels empowered enough they can wear a sign of pure hate proudly.

The situation is worse than I thought

Well I'm sure that there's a lot of folks who believe that he was only doing it to outrage people for the LoLs. Sadly we have an entire generation that believes that any behavior is acceptable if you were only joking and no one got physically hurt.

I'm surprised he's writing for cracked.com given his history of racism and islamophobic stances. Are they aware of this?
Is anyone surprised he jumped to Muslims = Nazis in like 2 posts?

I often don't agree with his position, but at least he usually argues in good faith.
 
You know, I'm okay with this guy getting knocked out, but I think I would feel kind of bad if I learned that he became blind or suffered brain damage as a result, which gets me thinking about personal limits.

So, honest answers, how much violence could you have tolerated against this guy? How far could it have gone before it became "too much" for you, for whatever reason?

my best friend is jewish and i am disabled

there is literally no point at which i'd stop and begin to pity a fucking nazi

We've got a Nazi sympathizer in the Oval Office. What did you expect?
 
"The more our adversaries believe they can obstruct our development by employing a degree of terror that is characteristic of their nature, the more they encourage it. Nietzsche said that a blow which does not kill a strong man only makes him stronger, and his words are confirmed a thousand times. Every blow strengthens our defiance, every persecution reinforces our single-minded determination, and the elements that do fall are good riddance to the movement.”

-Adolph Hitler


"Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true."

-Viktor E Frankl

I wish it was as simple as just punching the problem away. Or putting a bullet in it. I do not condone acts of hate by choosing to not be violent, I condone those acts because of my indifference.

"Only one danger could have jeopardised this development – if our adversaries had understood its principle, established a clear understanding of these ideas, and not offered any resistance. Or, alternatively, if they had from the first day annihilated with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement." - Adolf Hitler

You would have been Chamberlain. And what did Chamberlain go down in history for?

The sad thing is that Nazis had plans to cleanse White people who weren't of German origin.

Like, these dumb motherfucking American Nazis don't understand that the original Nazis would simply be like 'yeah ok you can fight for us' and after that was done, they would've been sent to the concentration camps.

Of course you have the spineless cowardly PC-Mafia flooding the thread defending Nazis.

How the hell do you people sleep at night and how the hell do you go through life without being trampled over?
 
Not sure how I feel about punching people that might have a serious mental illness.

I see your point. It's not completely his fault that the US education system, justice system, health care system, etc system, has failed him. Just know that he isn't as bad off, at least mentally, as the president of the United States.

I'm A-OK with knocking them both out though!

Is he just a nazi asshole? Then punch him.

Is he a nazi with mental health issues? He needs treatment, not punches.

His sudden appeal to restraint when the bystander made a beeline him heavily suggests he knew what he was doing was out of line. There's no reason to think that most Nazis aren't anything more than sociopathic losers.

To treat those with racist or genocidal beliefs as if they have a chance of being mentally ill is to act as if these aren't people that legitimately believe this stuff. As if normal people can't become a part of this ideology. You don't have to be mentally ill to be a Nazi, you just have to be an asshole.

Why does this "mentally ill" defense always come up whenever a racist or Nazi shithead actually starts acting on their beliefs? Do you think they glamorize hate against minorities and the disabled just for kicks?
 

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
What if he's a Nazi who's a single father with 3 adopted children and a bedridden mother??

(Seriously where does this shit come from? There's plenty of people dealing with actual mental illness or just suffering from depression you could reach out to, why make up sob stories for Nazis?)

Oh so we are back to the mental illness defense?

That depends. Do we know if he is diagnosed with a mental illness?

And it's not really a "defense". Nazism and racism are indefensible, but if his behaviour is a result of mental illness, can't you see how that changes the situation?

Of course you have the spineless cowardly PC-Mafia flooding the thread defending Nazis.

wow...

I can see this is pointless. I may as well argue with someone on the alt-right. I'm out.

Feel free to pursue this line of inquiry when there's a single iota of evidence that he's mentally ill. Until then, you're simply stigmatizing the mentally ill.
