Ok, what am I looking at here because I'm not sure what to say to that. (also, foreign language deficient)

Largely Swedish nazis Nordic Resistance Movement encapsulated by cops as they march unannounced through Copenhagen. They hid their faces and started shoving the cops protecting them, so they were told it was illegal to assault cops and hide their faces. Compare with literally any other protest where that sort of behavior would be met immediately with nightsticks, tear gas and mass arrests.

I mean the Danish chapter even harassed the Minister of Justice at his home address, I can't imagine why they're being coddled.

In a truly inspired piece of spin, Peter Kofod said "I don't have to agree with what other parties do in other countries.".
It's true, he doesn't have to, it just so happens that it seems like he and his entire party does. How curious.

NRM set of a series of bombs in Gothenburg against asylum housing and a left-wing community center, permanently injuring one janitor, and weren't charged with terrorism because immigrants are not counted as a singular group and as such it wasn't terrorism according to the law as it must be target at a group, not groups.

poo poo, we actually have a law specifically made to dissolve and criminalize nazi paramilitary orgs but no court dare to use it and when regular Joes/Joettes have tried to charge them with the law it's immediatly tabled.

Law in question is the Olovlig Kårverksamhet law. It was instituted back in '34.

Yeah, that was the point I was trying to make.

As for the latest Nazi showing in Oslo the police went to every length to let them speak, cordoning off a huge dmz, and making a show of force to the counterprotesters beforehand. To their credit they did not harass us during, and we easily drowned out the racist messages.

They also stopped two Nazis who wanted to show off for the cameras from approaching the anarchists after the demo. A shame, but any liberals will be happy to know the discourse with the Nazis was "civilized".

Something something about the foundations of democracy and free speech.
Given that roughly 2000 people voted on the nazis in the last Swedish election, you people are vastly exaggerating the influence and power of actual nazis.

The police is there to stop escalation, because we all know that both nazis and counter protesters would arm themselves (even more) in the absence of police.

They're not a threat to the state.

They are an imminent and lethal threat to numerous people though. They've proven again and again that they don't need official state support to be dangerous, just the flaccid acceptance of people like you who discredit them because they're not doing a March on Rome yet.

For every nazi there's hundreds of people who would tolerate a nazi regime as long as their own lives get to continue as normal. The tipping point is far below 51% nazis.

Historians seem to agree that during the Nazi occupation of Denmark, only about 1% were officially supporting the Nazis.
About 1% is also the amount of Danes who were in the resistence movement.

So you're absolutely right, it definitely does not take very much - which is absolutely terrifying to me.

The year is 2088.

God Emperor Racismus Paludanazi of Denazimark has just finished his daily bacon grease anointing.

His black sun gaze scans the room, evaluating each of his most trusted lieutenants in turn.

A previously unnoticed Jewish deviation of 0.14mm in the nasal profile of Überschinke Rauschberg catches his watchful eye.

"UNACCEPTABLY JEWISH!" he thunders, "READY THE HELICOPTER, NO PARACHUTE!".

Überschinke Rauschberg is immediately siezed by armed supersoldiers.

She protests, "Please my Lord, I am your most loyal and ardent supporter, I masterminded the plague lab camps!"

She is dragged away, screaming and whimpering.

"Racial purity has been restored. For now."

Friendly reminder that even NSDAP started out getting miniscule results in the elections of 1924 (0.1%).

This poo poo gets out of hand fast as gently caress once their rhetoric is normalized, though and within a few years NSDAP was seeing numbers around 15 - 20% in elections.

Look at France during WW2. It wasn't even their own nazi regime. It was a foreign, hostile occupying nazi regime. Still people kept going as normal. The cogs kept spinning and the nazis got manpower, food and materials all through the war.

The French resistance only really offered passive resistance. Making resistance newspapers etc. It was when they realised that Germany was going to lose the war that they got active.

I think that's kinda unfair considering that the resistance knew that for every successful operation they pulled their would be massive reprisals on the civilian population. For example,when the Czechoslovakian resistance movement killed Reinhard Heydrich the nazis killed 5000 civilians, entire villages were leveled.

Comfortable excuse in retrospect though at the time it was more like "But I got this neat house and the nazis pay well for my goods so why rock the boat?"


I think it's just a European thing. Most Russians would have none of that even before the nazis showed themselves to be mass murderers.

The same thing happened during Napoleonic wars. Napoleon comes up to an Austrian farmer all "sell me your crops and pay me your taxes and things will remain as they were" and the Austrian farmer agrees. Napoleon tried the same with Russian farmers and even nobles and they burned the fields and fled. The nobles even spoke French and knew Napoleon wasn't coming to destroy everything but they still wouldn't have any of it.

During the first few months of the war one million railroad cars loaded with industrial equipment, raw materials, and people departed from the frontline areas. /16 I won't delve into specifics of the scale of the Soviet program of deporting the civilian population. This I have done in some detail in The Dissolution. Suffice it here to note that before the war upward of 90 million people were living in the Soviet areas conquered by Germany during the Second World War. The Soviets deported anywhere between 25 and 30 million of them. They concentrated their deportation efforts on specific groups. Thus, they preferred the urban to the rural population, the skilled to the unskilled, and large educated minorities (Jews and Russians in the Ukraine, White Russia, and in the Baltic countries) to the more hostile native population. Because the Soviets had begun their deportation program long before the outbreak of the war and because the western frontier areas were generally not densely populated, the Soviet cities which fell into German hands during the first few days and weeks of the war were greatly depopulated - up to 90 percent in some cases and over 50 percent on the average. The cities tended to show greater deportation percentages if they were located in the Ukraine or White Russia, rather than in the Baltic countries; if they were located near the western frontier rather than further east; and if they had large educated minorities than if the native population predominated.

i'm biassed here since my granddad basically got tortured to death (not immediately, but it did break his health and he perished like fifteen years after liberation) for organising engineered bureacratic inertia and slow-walk actions in his industrial municipality, but anyone who believes in the power of industrial action should recognise that that stuff was no joke and did genuine and recognised damage to the german war effort
