A measure to literally turn anti-occupation BDS protestors (and in fact anyone tweeting/supporting it) into actual FELONS was happily chugging along with broad bipartisan support in Congress recently, so let's not pretend that the system gives a toss about 1st Amendment rights. It will always find loopholes to strike at those it wants.

I understand that tearing at the fig leaf of due process we do get is risky, but let's not pretend things aren't plenty messed up.

So until these fuckers are on my lawn with their tiki torches and a cross, I am not endorsing violence.

Where am I wrong? Are the leaders/organizers of these movements being funded by billionaires and nation-states? Is using the legal justice system (an institution they seek exploit) as a way to deal with them a bad thing? What is accomplished by punching Nazi's and 'chasing them out of town'. They don't give a gently caress, their goal is to provoke you. It is evidenced by the proliferation of makeshift weaponry at these events. What happens when someone gets shot (again). Alot of these states it is legal to carry at a demonstration, concealed or otherwise. Punching Nazis is great and all but they punch back and carry weapons. So you should be prepared for them to punch back and you should probably carry some sort of weapon. I would rather exhaust the non-violent means before escalating to (minor) violent means that quickly escalate to even more (major) violent means.

We should really be fighting them on all fronts: legal, political, economic and physical. The reason you sometimes need physical violence (despite the very legitimate fear that the violence can spiral out of control) is because in the context of shutting down a rally, shutting down that show of force and intimidation, that's all that works.

He could have denounced them. He could have come out in no uncertain terms and stated that what they did was intolerable, and that they are unamerican and unwelcome in America. He could have announced that this will be a major issue that his office will address and that he will start a task force to look into these organizations.

Well, let's be honest, he couldn't have. It would have taken more than 140 characters and been focused on too many people other than himself.

This is absurd.
Trump's top staff are neo nazis, he campaigned on racism from the get go and turned the anti domestic terrorist task force into anti islamic only.
All the speeches in the world would be useless, a new task force just for show.
He is doing what he always expected him to do. What he told us he would be.

The nazis have been recruiting on the internet for 15years, the feds have known about the cancer in law enforcement since long the big report in 2006.
White supremacy is an underlying theme of republican platforms, Trump just made it unsubtle and empowered the rats to come out in the daylight.
Every politician and news anchor who called BLM a racist terrorist org instead of considering that they were pleading for their lives is part of the rot.

This cannot be addressed without a massive purge and lots more nastiness coming to light.

The Republican Party will find a way to spin this away from them but Trump ?

This is a good argument actually. Nazis are inherently self destructive and violent.

Now perhaps for another question and derail - Does the Klan have views on the endgame political structure of their ideal society? Is it fascist or just democracy with only white people.

I swear back in the day the Klan and neo Nazis hated each other mainly because the Klan is pro Christian and Nazis aren't.

Of course.


Map out the next few years... We all know the only way Republicans will be able to win elections going forward as the demographics favor them less and less is voter suppression combined with white identity politics and because our politics are a one way ratchet the nativism and scapegoating of immigrants is going to be more and more necessary for their internal party politics to appeal to the marchers yesterday who will more and more be the GOP base. It's going to be the White party vs the Nonwhite party and GOP rallies are going to look more and more like Charlottesville.

these aren't conservatives.

this isn't a "ha ha, oh you racist cad.". this isn't a "hey, we can agree to disagree!" statement.

there's no "how about we compromise" for nazis.

they have one goal. eliminate all blacks because they've never gotten laid in their lives. they plan to kill an entire group of people.

you can't pop off with "how about half the blacks, I REALLY don't want to rock the boat here."

you can't pop off with "how about we try getting along :)"

you solve the nazi problem by breaking their jaws so they can't talk anymore. you solve the nazi problem by breaking their legs so they can't organize anymore. you solve the nazi problem by beating them bloody in public spaces over and over again until they realize being a nazi is actually super dangerous and they either shut up and go away, or go back to jerking it to anime in the darkness.

in the paradox of how do you deal with a group of people that push for genocide, the answer is to kill them first. it always has been. you beat them physically over and over again till people choose not to go to rallies anymore and they lose popular support. you beat them by finding their employers and forcing them to become unemployable to the point they'll have to live on the streets as homeless. you beat them by making them the enemy and showing people what happens to the enemy over and over again.

Confronting high-compaction Narrativists when they gather in numbers and being prepared to throw down is really the only option at present. We are long past the point where this could be contained using any other method. Direct confrontation is now the only language a fair number of them speak and if you do not meet their challenge their numbers will swell rapidly. At this point smashing every Nazi rally and doxxing each one of them stupid enough to appear at these things is the only way we as a people have of doing literally anything about this situation. The Federal Government cannot be relied upon to contain things and in fact at the very highest levels is actively encouraging violent extremism from white supremacists

Also taking down those Confederate symbols is a major blow to the Inner narrative of members of the Racist cluster and would genuinely go a great ways towards demoralizing/weakening them.

Narrativists live and die by their symbols, tear down their symbols and you tear down their ability to live in their delusions.

I think you're using defence in a narrow sense of immediate defence. The rest of us are using it in the broader sense of "prevent a group of people ideologically intent on killing us from feeling invincible and intimidating innocent people". Nazis need to be driven out of society, by whatever means necessary. If that happens to be legal... great! But the current AG is a racist poo poo who's only surprised his friends weren't wearing hoods. In that context, I think other tools may work.
