Neo-Nazi's are irrelevant.
22 2017-08-18 by bri9and
28 People have died due to gunshots in Chicago this MONTH. It is the 18th.. Neo-Nazi's are crazy and irrelevant yet this is the new story.. This is the narrative. The attempt to tie alt-right (far right?) to a crazy, minuscule, irrelevant subset of our population is a direct attempt to shift the balance of public opinion left.
Don't fall for it.

Are you trying to tell me the media is sensationalizing something?
1 bri9and 2017-08-18
heh, no, nothing to see here.
1 western_red 2017-08-18
The worry about neo-Nazis is about crime. It's an ideology that is unAmerican.
1 bri9and 2017-08-18
Neo nazis contribute to a high crime rate?
Are there that many of them?
1 western_red 2017-08-18
You just said the exact opposite of what I did. People aren't worried about neo-Nazis because of crime.

The Alt-Right is full of Nazis, white supremacists, fascists, and white nationalists so they are right in their claim that Nazis are tied to the Alt-Right. This recent push against them is a significant step in the right direction. People are uniting against racism, hate, and Nazis. Theres no conspiracy here.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
Welp, if you say so...
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-18
Well there is a conspiracy to unite and recruit white supremacists, so there's that.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
There is also a conspiracy to unite and recruit radical/violent Marxists. What do you have to say about that?
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-18
I don't doubt it. And if that's the case, and if the purpose is to divide us, then it is evil.
1 GeorgeCostanaza 2017-08-18
We just saw 4 hours of fighting that resulted in death. I think that more or less sums it up.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
You call that fighting? lmao....
1 GeorgeCostanaza 2017-08-18
It's closer to fighting than most redditors have ever come close to if we're being entirely honest here
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-18
You think death is the only worry from racist ideology?
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
What's worse than death?
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-18
Solitary confinement
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
..and how is that going to happen by letting neo-Nazis and such protest/rally? They're not really even that organized. Many of them are just street gangs with a tiny following.
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-18
It's not? You think death or solitary confinement is the only thing that can negatively impact people's lives?
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
Like I said, how is any of that going to happen by letting them rally/protest? BTH, Antifa are making things worse, by design.
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-18
So you mean by letting them recruit and organize and spread ideology that promotes discrimination and hatred against minorities?
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
They have every right to, as long as they are not breaking laws. These rights are laid out in the Constitution.
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-18
Discrimination against minorities is not only illegal, it is immoral and evil.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
It's not illegal for me to discriminate against you. I can call you whatever the hell I want, deny you access to my private groups, and in business dealings. Sure, it's immoral, but not illegal. Are you an American?
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-18
Yes, I'm an American, are you? Because it is illegal to discriminate based on race,sex, religion, etc. when it comes to business dealings or how the government treats you.
If I was black, I wouldn't want a white supremacist as the police officer who is pulling me over as an example.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
How many times do I have to tell you, I'm an American living in America?
No it's not, but it all depends on the dealings.
You do not get a choice. That is called life. Even if they have ways to vet people for racism, people can just lie. Once again, that is life. If you're looking for a Utopia here on Earth, you'll never find it. You might as well just go live out in seclusion.
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-18
You never told me you were an American living in America. You said you were polish with distant Russian releavtives.
And yes it is illegal. I know this from personal experiences because I used to work in the real estate world and had to deal with law suits.
And no one is taking about some racism detector or vetting. It's about preventing racial discrimination from happening in the first place by first acknowledging that everyone is a bit racist in some shape or form, and then learn how to reduce racism and discrimination against others as much as possible.
For example, I heard an interview with a black police officer who thought racism and discrimination against black people from police was almost non existent. Until he learned that after some reflection, he realized that even though he's black, he treats black suspects much worse than white suspects.
It's called implicit racial bias, and it's something that we can do to reduce its effect on others.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
Liar.
Re-read what I said.
Not possible with humans. By that statement of yours, let me guess you are a Marxist?
That's because statistically Blacks commit more crime. He's a smart man, for realizing that, even though he himself is Black. Hard pill to swallow.
Every myth has founding and truth, along with stereotypes. To think otherwise, is quite naive of you, imo...

muh nazis !
1 AspiringOligarch 2017-08-18
Yes. They are irrelevant, or they were, until certain groups chose to build them into a bogeyman and whip the country into an outrage panicked frenzy with the full cooperation of the msm and political hacks .
Why? To get the public to embrace an idea that they would otherwise reject flatly: the loss of freedom of speech, specifically on the internet.
This is not something that could be forced on Americans, the trick was to make them beg for it in a morally indignant outrage, and 'nazis' were the perfect trigger.
Nazis are irrelevant. Freedom of speech is very relevant. And you are losing that freedom right now.
1 GearMetal 2017-08-18
well duh.
1 pearbobber 2017-08-18
Goddamnit man. DJT made them relevant, and he continues to say and do shit that has them dancing in the streets.
1 TheSeanord17 2017-08-18
A lot of Americans died fighting Nazis during the 40's. Now, in 2017, we had a group of people shouting their slogans, saying "heil Trump" and other nonsense, running around with torches like the KKK and running over a crowd of people.
How exactly should that not be a legitimate news story?
1 --shaunoftheliving 2017-08-18
How is that any different from Communists?
1 uhwhateveridc 2017-08-18
So?Theres violence in certain parts of Chicago and has been for years. Does there need to be a 30 minute news segment for each person that died? But I'm sure if there was you would be upset that neo nazis weren't on the news
1 gngstrMNKY 2017-08-18
Ah, the ol' "we can't talk about any other forms of violence as long as black kids are still killing each other in Chicago" shitpost. This totally isn't a facile piece of nonsense that's been regurgitated a million times by a bunch of cranky conservatives, OP.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-18
Welp, if you say so...
1 TrumpRusConspiracy 2017-08-18
Solitary confinement
