Hitler copied segregation from the Jim Crow South. Also, before that is even worse in the US. A sizeable part of the US population was forcibly taken from their families and subjected to a lifetime of hard labor and rape. This was considered legal and normal at the time.

Every so often you hear about some freako who has kidnapped someone and kept them alive for years chained in a basement. Maybe they have to work or do sexual favors for their captor. We now consider that person a victim and their captor the worst kind of criminal. That disgusting criminal was an average slaveowner in the US South.

As someone else said, the secret is that the US isn’t ‘turning into’, it’s been bad for at least a century. We’ve finally gotten to the point where racism is starting to get unpopular enough that it’s not just normal and largely ignored.

All countries have their crazies. Currently we’re seeing a wave of said crazy minority rising up (Duterte, Bolsonaro, AfD, Mussolini, RN). Sometimes we become so complacent as a people that we forget these kinds of ideologies exist. So they fester and attract others. Hopefully this time we don’t have to fight a war to top it and can change the tides peacefully.

Something about some who work forces and sumsuch.

• like white on a Klansman.

Fixed that for you.

That probably has something to do with private property. I wouldn’t expect anything to happen to you waving a pro-union flag on a corner like this either.

We can hate Nazis without making stupid comparisons.

Speaking as a “white”, I’m ok with these guys being replaced.

The “replacement” these losers are panicking about is TV commercials with black people in them.

Wins Above Replacement. They’re racists, but also fans of Sabermetrics.

It kind of does, because Nazis had this Lebensraum policy. They wanted to replace as much of Europe as possible with Germans. So Nazis really are very much for replacement.

I’m ok with being replaced. Maybe the replacements will be happier than me.

I hate Nazis.

The problem is that a lot of these lunatics are armed, either openly or concealed carry. Your average person isn’t going to be willing to take the gamble with their life in order to confront these assholes, they’re just gonna try and hurry on their way. The actual people who should be confronting Nazis are cops, but unfortunately the venn diagram of police and fascist supporters is a fucking circle.

Especially the violence is always bad, violence never solves anything, just ignore bullies, avoid, do not confront, do not escalate attitude that has been being pushed for decades.

This is the result of good people not being willing to stand up for themselves in hostile, aggressive, and violent ways. Give up violence as a tool only used by the bad guys or by authorized individuals, then the bad guys will, once they have infiltrated and taken control for the organizations allowed to do violence, be able to use it with impunity everywhere.

Long ago, if you said or did things that are abhorrent to most decent people (as defined by the morals of the day at least) you’re likely to get a fist in your face. Today, although these things are abhorrent to most people, no one is willing to just punch someone for most things.

Remember when Buzz Aldrin just punched the guy accusing him of participating in the moon landing conspiracy? If 20-30% of decent people were willing to respond like that to Nazis, racists, homophobes, transphobia, and other abhorrent groups, they wouldn’t be bringing these things up in public.

But decades of this anti-violent attitude have resulted in a population who is largely decent but unwilling to act to preserve that decency.

Even without guns involved, there are many regions with antifascist groups which come and give them a beating (see Patriot Front getting run out of Philadelphia). Collective violent resistance intimidates them. Non-violent tactics are essential, they come first and are more important overall, but violence makes them scare to come outside. Just look at the dissolution of the British Union of Fascists after the '43 Group threw bricks at them enough times for a big example (there are many smaller examples - especially since modern neo-nazis tend to recruit scrawny teens online who can’t handle getting beaten up).

I feel it’s important to add here that the only thing these chuds understand is strength and power, and violence is the only thing that will counteract their influence. Maybe it doesn’t require physical violence right now and other forms of strength would frighten them off - counter protests seem to work well in Germany, not to mention full-on bans of their gatherings (they don’t have a similar 1A of course…).

At some point however I fear that physical violence is the only solution with them. Unfortunately, fascism evolved to chink away at all the weak spots in the liberal democrat’s armor and use the things we love against us. They don’t care about truth, they don’t care about consistency, etc. They can’t be beat on the debate stage because they don’t care about words. All they care about is strength because they’re 99% insecure lemming cowards and we have to use it against them.

The thing about this is, these assholes abuse the same legal loopholes that the hate group west boro baptist church uses, as well as everyone who protests at pride parades, outside abortion centers, and the like. They are there to incite you to violence, and then they sue you. Because they are technically free to offend. Abusers like them use the justice system to abuse good people standing up to intolerance and hate, and it can ruin someones life, having to go through a protracted legal battle, going to prison, and facing fines. Having “assault” on your record will definitely provide you with difficulty finding employment, that’s for sure.

The liberals who own guns are waiting for them to make everything official and obvious, for sonething that starts a civil war. They dont wanna just get jailed for murder. They do not understand the concept of illiberalism, or are too afraid to prevent it

This is the shittiest violence stroking take Ive seen since the incident. You’re either an idiot or a false actor stroking the flame. Guns aren’t here so we can indiscriminately shoot dumb fucking nazis on the street. They’re here so if those nazis show up at your door to drag you and your families out, that they can be dealt with. Knowing that people have them is a deterrent from these cucks even showing up at your house.

Let’s be honest here, these sorts of people aren’t the sharpest crayons in the box; they’re the reason why warning labels need to be created.

Nashville dreams of tourists spending all their money on live music and dining that draws on the city’s rich cultural heritage so it can use that tax revenue to oppress the shit out of those cultures

I’m not sure I’ve ever really heard Nashville described as a liberal anything.

Generally they’re too busy punishing Memphis for having liberal tendencies.

Same, I’m like: “Uhh, isn’t that just Nashville?”

It absolutely is, when I lived there the urbanites just pretended it was only the rednecks, “you know, the ones who live in the boonies”, even while being just as racist and virulently segregationist as possible.

Oh,but they have a black friend at work, so, clearly we all misunderstood completely.

Stop being such a radical extremist, lets hear them out. I swear, it’s because of people like you that no one gets along anymore. I bet those guys share very insightful thoughts once you get to know them better. They’re just worried about, you know, all the stuff. Stop the hate. Hug a nazi.

Remember that one simple trick to counter nazis: you can break their kneecaps

My great grandparents were these people and I’d be okay with yours shooting them.

Uh…

Historians believe the Duke of Windsor actively collaborated with the Nazis during the Second World War

In 1937, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor set off on a tour of Germany, when the Nazi regime was in full control of the country.

“This would be all over the world — photographs of Wallis and Edward with Hitler,” historian Jane Ridley says in the documentary. “This would be acutely embarrassing and unacceptable [to the royal family].”

In October of that year, the duke wrote a thank you letter to Hitler after spending time with him at his mountain retreat.

“It’s written in German, but the translation reads, 'To the Führer and [Chancellor], the Duchess of Windsor and I would like to thank you sincerely. Our trip through Germany has made a great impression on us. Many thanks to you for the wonderful time that we had with you at the Obersalzberg,” Andrew Lownie, author of Traitor King: The Scandalous Exile of the Duke & Duchess of Windsor, says in the film.
