Members of white supremacist and antisemitic hate groups marched outside Orlando, Florida, on Saturday screaming invectives, raising the Nazi salute, and yelling “Heil Hitler” and “white power.”

“We are everywhere!” neo-Nazis can be heard shouting in a video shared by former Florida House of Representatives member Anna V. Eskamani. Later in the footage, they yelled, “Heil Hitler” while performing a Nazi salute.

    “We are everywhere” -> “literally dozens of us”

    Any time a loser wants to feel like less of a loser they need only look at this loser and realize that they are, comparatively speaking, not a loser at all

      Not defending the nazi loser, and I know it’s uncomfortable to admit, but he’s not wrong, they are everywhere - in the police and other agencies, working in prisons, in the “justice” system, in government…
      They’re not all as loud as him, but if you think they’re not in and around every point of power in society, you haven’t been paying attention.

        That’s also the troublesome bit of WW2 history the books* don’t show so much, the reich had a lot of support in America, Henry Ford and Walt Disney being notable leaders. Our history is packed full of racist and authoritarian shit of all flavors.

        Still though, we rallied and put enough lead downrange to make them stop last time, as a white dude, my type need to be doing more to shame and turn out these roaches to be stomped out for good this time. Enough is enough and eugenics never ends well for anyone. Trek showed us how to be better, just gotta bulldoze this two tone chucklefuck first

        *the average school curriculum, several books have been published detailing the rich history of almost but not quite overt support of the rich to the other rich/potentially useful to get more rich

          Watching movies like Mississippi Burning as a South African teenager it was astonishing to realise that the USA was easily at or over the line we were at. It’s just that our government made it officially systemic.

            The US has been trying its best to put a good face on for the rest of the world, but it’s been a clusterfuck of waring political factions since forever. Some of those factions happen to be very dangerous.

        Sorry, didn’t mean to downplay that; my point is more that if you’re a gigantic loser and you have to get up and yell about how there are actually lots of other gigantic losers just like you, that’s not exactly coming from a position of strength.

        (but yes, the classic Onion article on the subject of Nazi cops is not inaccurate)

          It is though - he’s empowered and encouraged to do it by the system, he literally has the full power of the state behind him.

          Shouldn’t be since it’s literally “us vs the whole other human race”, but the dog whistles from our politicians and media (mostly funded by a few select rich folk) have shifted down into normal human hearing range lately and now they’re just shouting stochastic terrorism from the highest platform they can find.

        I was jogging between Queens and Brooklyn a few years back. Two assholes, shirtless and with shaved heads, didn’t move out of the way and took up the full width of the bridge. Only when I got within a few feet did I see that at least one had tattoos all over, including a swatzika over his heart. I felt sick. Both my grandparents fought overseas in World War 2 and now here we are, with idiots in our own country emboldened by the GOP and Trump.

          The American Bund existed during WWII. This shit isn’t new.

        Links that talk about reparations and redistribution of resources as the solution are not good things to reference imo (your last link)

          *in your racist coloniser opinion

          Making you personally uncomfortable doesn’t make something wrong.

          It’s also incredible that you managed to get through that article (x doubt) without learning a single thing from it other than to defend your own feelings (actively being part of the “water”). That takes some real effort.

      No, don’t minimize this, there are a lot of them.

      Especially some of those that work forces…

        There’s openly racist chucklefucks north of the line too. Some are even the county sheriff.

        Yeah, more than one of them in every southern state.

        I mean, unless he means per capita, but that sounds too high again, somewhere closer to 50% sounds more likely.
