The incitement must be imminent, effective, and intended (e: these words all have specific legal meanings that often differ from common usage). This is a difficult standard to reach, and is nearly impossible to be reached preemptively.

We can discuss whether or not heavily armed cosplayers advocating genocide should have their rights to speech and assembly protected, but ought to be cleae the courts have been very explicit that those rights are protected.

Inescapable Duck, a broken record of fantastic insight!

Accept nothing less than the very definition of Nazi speech means incitement of violence.

I think the while the law protects free speech, it doesn't actually protect threats. This requires zero further legislation.

"Blood and soil" is a threat.

If the only thing keeping you from being a Nazi is everyone having to be nice to you, you aren't a good person. That you are here attempting blame the current Nazi movement's rise on its victims, and the people trying to stop it is honestly disgusting.

Yeah, that's not how social interactions work. There is no innate goodness or badness, just the ball of ideas, fears, hopes, prejudices and biases you have in your head. People are complicated and often consist of many, many contradictions. They may desire justice and fairness, but have both of these twisted to serve Nazi ideals of what is "just" and "fair". The whole point is finding people who are "at risk" and guiding them down the right path. If you only want the good people, you're going to lose.

I thought it was to emphasize the connection between heritage and nation. That your nationality is a matter of your genes and not your residence.

In Europe blood and soil is essentially "I am a member of this nation because my blood is the blood of the nations people"

It's also about excluding people from the national identity even if they became legal citizens or were even born here because their blood is still foreign.

It makes a lot less sense for the US.

Oh for gently caress's sake dude, don't twist my words. I'm not excusing people who make terrible decisions, but I also understand these things called "social forces" and "determinism". People who are "at risk" for becoming Nazi or other forms of radicals usually live at the intersection of a number of economic, social and cultural problems.

Socialists and leftists seem to be perfectly capable of understanding determinism when they talk about the fact that people aren't poor because they don't work hard enough, they're poor because society is stacked against them. That's social determinism. But they seem to get totally bent out of shape when someone suggests that your ideological affiliations are also affected by the culture and economic forces in which you live. That's also social determinism.

Young people especially are loving developmental lumps. They're far more susceptible to bad messaging and peer in-group/out-group manipulation. The Nazis are tapping into that and creating outgroups and ingroups for them. This isn't complicated!

Both the SPD and the KPD in Weimar Germany understood this. They specifically created social clubs and programs for boys and girls to teach them skills, give them a civics lesson and allow them a better path in a ruined post-war Germany.

Maybe don't look for the "racist" white males, but rather the "confused" white males and reach out to them. That's what people like Dr. Nerdlove are doing. They're not talking to MRAs, they're talking to young menwho are confused and can fall for that PUA/MRA poo poo in their desperation and loneliness.

That's one of the things that's always driven me crazy about this. The US is one of very few countries in the world to have been created almost entirely through immigration; if there is any "national" (in the "by birth" etymological sense of the word) identity to the country at all it's centered on the Constitution and the idea of America as a "synthetic" nation, created in an era that was supposed to have moved past nationalism as the result of accident of birth. It was supposed to be about a genuine social contract, agreed upon by people of all races and creeds, who mutually accepted the idea of a "nation" as being about a codified system of government and a legalistic way of life invented by smart people through reasoned discourse rather than about a folk culture and tradition handed down from prior generations stretching back to cave paintings.

If there is any claim to "American exceptionalism", it's in this. It's something I've believed in. It's something I've wanted to believe in.

But ever since day one there have been these people who want to jam that folk culture interpretation into it anyway; the guys in Gangs of New York calling themselves "Native Americans" because they're third generation native-born, not first generation like these filthy newcomers; the ones who apply a racial or a religious layer onto a proposition that had no room for either thing in its conception; the ones who can somehow justify black people or Hispanic people not being considered "normal Americans" despite both groups being all over the North American continent and multi-generationally entrenched in 1776.

"Blood and soil" is a phrase that makes sense (pardon the stretch) in a place like Germany or France or China. But America is like the last place where it should be admissible. And anyone who pretends to base any of their philosophy on the ideas that those guys tried to put into the Constitution really has no excuse for missing that huge blinding fundamental point at the center of it all.

It's a mix of both I believe, and heavily dependent on age. A lot of people go for the "economic anxiety" bullshit and start going "took my job", but that has been around forever. The most recent resurgence has just been kids finding a place to fit in and getting their kicks, which is what we need to attack. We have gone from hate groups attracting the poor and disaffected to them attracting aimless losers.

Basically the New Nazis are white supremacists juggalos is what I am saying.

E. Also the weird cult of masculinity plays into this heavily.

at some point someone is going to twist his arm into saying he disavows nazis and he will immediately change the subject. but that won't make it better: he has already sent the message as loudly as possible. his chance to condemn it is over. acting like he can still condemn it and have it mean a drat is just playing into the scam where he will give a token disavowal and all of the republicans will immediately fall in line while all of the nazis received the message as clearly as possible that he's on their side.

Personally I prefer to look up to people like Dr King and Gandhi and their views on cultural change. The only reason people are able to bring up the "violence on both sides" of Charlottesville is because there was violence on both sides. Had the counter protesters just showed up and been attacked and not fought back the whole narrative would be different.

I guarantee you that you don't know poo poo about Gandhi. He held that violent resistance to oppression was a moral duty, just for your information.
