Is this Nazi hysteria the most artificial, manufactured media narrative in decades?
674 2017-08-20 by thisisthetaxi
I've still only seen a picture of one person at the charlotsville rally holding a Nazi flag (the man in the green shirt), and no more than that. And yet the media acts as if Nazism is actually a problem and a significant movement. It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. Even the narrative of "Antifa vs Nazis" is totally wrong as there are hardly any Nazis at all.
Again: ONE PERSON at the rally was holding a Nazi flag. While I disagree with the aims of the rally in general, to even call it a "Nazi rally" was highly disingenuous and not descriptive of reality. But one picture of a person holding a flag is alll it takes to whip a country into mass hysteria

yes. It's a mass media hysteria. Race relations are not as a bad as the media is portraying it.
I work with a mix of people. We get along great. Although I live in a smaller town, there is definitely a wide range of people here. We never have these race problems. Everyone is chill and polite.
Been selling eclipse glasses to random people, who contacted me on FB, all day long. A mix of people. Not a single problem. Actually some of the best interactions I've had were with people that were a different race than me.
It's fucking crazy. It's almost as if you get out and interact with people, then shit isn't really as bad as you'd think.
1 Evil_Skip_Bayless 2017-08-20
It's not that I'm disagreeing mind you but small towns are a different kind of living. I grew up on the beach in NC and never saw but maybe a few black people until middle school. I'm mid 30s. I've lived in NYC, New haven CT, Dallas. Tensions are out there on many fronts. They've been playing us against each other for centuries now. The internet has increased the reach of many ideas. In small towns though you get to know people on a personal level. In cities it's mainly everyone for themselves apart from loved ones.
1 Armaedus 2017-08-20
True. I mean there's 70,000 people in my town. So it's not tiny by any means. But I get what you're saying.
1 Evil_Skip_Bayless 2017-08-20
Oh that's way bigger than I thought. Still not big enough to have racial tensions though. I grew up with like maybe 10,000 during the winter. That would quadruple during the summers. But yeh it's not that Nazis and kkk wernt always there. I do believe the msm is just trying to get ratings firstly. I just think Trump has given these people, in their mind, the OK to just go out there and be proud.
1 cbthrow 2017-08-20
That's pretty much it. He took too long and his first speech they seemed to like. At this point for Trump even if his next speech was just "Go fuck yourselves Nazis" they'd be like...wink...we understand Heir President.
1 Evil_Skip_Bayless 2017-08-20
There response to it says it all. They feel since he didn't call them out initially that everything after that is just politics.
1 bobthetitanic 2017-08-20
This whole comment chain sounds like media talking points.
1 conspiracy_edgelord 2017-08-20
Seriously. I've seen "Trump has emboldened these individuals" several times over a few posts in the last 10 minutes. Trump hasn't done anything to embolden these people and has never supported them yet there are still people claiming it's his fault. You people claiming that could at least back up what you say with some evidence maybe? The mainstream media is emboldening these people a million times more than Trump is. They're the ones trying to convince the general public that Trump is one of them.
1 bobthetitanic 2017-08-20
Emboldened? It's like you want to shift the blame to the president rather put the blame where it actually lies.
1 bobthetitanic 2017-08-20
There gonna end up turning him into a underdog
1 conspiracy_edgelord 2017-08-20
How?
1 klondike1412 2017-08-20
It gets really bad in metropolitan cities with hundreds of thousands because when you see so many strangers on a daily basis, you assume that you basically have anonymity/"can get lost in the crowd" hence it is really easy to be an asshole to people and just escape from the consequences. It is pretty dehumanizing sometimes. When you're in a relatively small town, if you are an asshole it will come back to you eventually. If you're in a big city, you can be a grade-A fuckwad and it's very unlikely you'll ever bump into the same people again.
1 get_it_together1 2017-08-20
Centuries? Slavery was still here 300 years ago, andJim Crow only finally ended 50 years ago.
So many people in here ignore the long history of institutional and cultural racism and act like all the animosity must be faked. The trees in the south sprout peculiar fruits...
1 Evil_Skip_Bayless 2017-08-20
I'm people in mass. I'm not a left vs right guy. It's the super wealthy vs everyone else. People need to wake up.
1 arbitrarysquid 2017-08-20
I grew up in Oklahoma. My father is a huge racist and I am frankly happy that I was adopted. It's definitely out there.
1 mastigia 2017-08-20
I live in about the most dangerous and mixed area in my city, bbq'ing with my neighbors right now. It isn't even a thing. And I'm about as stereotypical white dude looking as you are gonna find.
As I've said before, I'm not afraid of brown people. I'm afraid of white people will do thinking they are doing what is best for brown people. White people are fucking crazy.
1 EricCarver 2017-08-20
True story, crazy white people do some crazy shit.
I too mix with dark skinned neighbors. You treat people like you don't see color, and generally things work out.
1 theeophilus 2017-08-20
there are those who would view you as racist for voicing that sentiment
1 EricCarver 2017-08-20
I couldn't give fewer fucks about what oversensitive people think. Especially feminists. I have a diverse group of peers and we all get along. And I am okay with that as a baseline for confirming I am on the right path.
1 theeophilus 2017-08-20
some of your best friends are black, amirite?!
1 EricCarver 2017-08-20
Ha, no. My best friends are all white. But I lol when people feel compelled to say they have bestie black friends, like they have to say it for social confirmation.
1 Fuckaduckfuckaduck 2017-08-20
Likewise, man.
I've always had more brown friends than white. Funny thing happened today. I went out in public, came across plenty of brown folks. None of them said "fuck whitey" and there were even smiles exchanged!!
Fucking amazing right? It's almost like the perceived racial divide is complete nonsense.
They want us to fight each other so we won't focus on the real issue; classism.
I'll stand with anyone who is a good person. Race, religion, creed be damned.
1 EricCarver 2017-08-20
Yeah, the average guy on the street is calm and not ready for racial war. The media is such bullshit. Too bad more people don't turn it off.
1 theeophilus 2017-08-20
why do you hate women?
1 EricCarver 2017-08-20
hehe, I don't think of feminists as women. They wanted to be viewed as sexless objects, so voila.
1 T2AmR 2017-08-20
I'm white and I live in a majority Muslim community. All get along fine.

1 LewdRudeJude 2017-08-20
You want to spin the wheel of racism around some more or do you want to acknowledge that all people are fucking crazy.
You find a brown warmonger I'll find a white one. Find me a scumbag white banker and I'll find you a scum-of-the-earth black one.
You know what ties crazy people together? Selfishness, greed, hatred, and the shit that lies between. And believe it or not these attributes don't choose a specific skin pigmentation to hide in.
1 mastigia 2017-08-20
Lol
1 Fuckaduckfuckaduck 2017-08-20
Dafuq? So he is racist because as a white man he said white people are fucking crazy?
Triggered much?
1 andwhatjusthappened 2017-08-20
Sure, some white people are crazy, but to say "white people are crazy" is a blanket statement that says "if you have white skin, you're crazy". If people don't want to sound racist, just add a qualifier, like "some". It's easy to do.
1 EricCarver 2017-08-20
Look at my quote. I said crazy white people do some crazy things. That means only the crazy white people. That means and infers some white people, unless you are saying all white people are crazy.
1 andwhatjusthappened 2017-08-20
Of course crazy people do crazy things. That's tautological. There's no need to add a skin colour into your statement. The skin colour and craziness are not related.
1 1337cuber420 2017-08-20

1 Armaedus 2017-08-20
What in the actual fuck are you talking about?
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Alt Right is a euphemism for white nationalism which equates directly to white supremacy which is the guiding principle of the German Nazi Party. If someone joins the white nationalist bowel movement they are by definition Nazis.
The only thing manufactured here has been the false equivalence of President Donny the Dumbass.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
White Nationalism !== White Supremacist or Nazi. Only the ignorant think that.
1 The_Baron87 2017-08-20
And only Nazis think that.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
No, because it's not the truth.
1 The_Baron87 2017-08-20
Oh I see I just don't understand racial centered politics. We both know what any such movement's end goal is.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
Well, when you conflate a White Nationalist with a Nazi, it's evident that you do not understand quite a bit about various ideologies and topics. For one, White Nationalism has nothing to do with German National Socialism, which is what a Nazi was.
1 The_Baron87 2017-08-20
Close enough. I don't care about your particular brand really.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
How is it close enough? You can't just make things up based on your feelings...
1 theeophilus 2017-08-20

why not?
what are his political beliefs? how have you discerned his political beliefs from his calls for linguistic precision?
i think you are taking politics, and yourself, too seriously.

You're not here to distract from this at all.

very much so, yes
well, at least i will die knowing that i made the world a happier place
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-20
Holy shit. You bought the propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

He literally said he was white nationalist moron.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-20
Can you explain how are the two equal?

Lmao
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
What is the point of this "nazi" witch hunt you seem so determined to create?
1 The_Baron87 2017-08-20
Apparently calling Nazis Nazis is rude these days. lol.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
Apparently mass hysteria is not insanity.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
And apparently the MSM is always right and should be trusted at all times.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-20
So you can't. Just as I thought.
1 theeophilus 2017-08-20
exactly 6,000,000
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
When they wear the same sheets and say the same things any distinction is a marketing ploy.
White nationalist is literally the definition of a modern Nazi.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
No, it's not. You may feel that way, but that has no basis in reality.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
You may not want to admit the association
But a white nationalist is a Nazi straight up by the very definition of the words.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
There is no association for me to admit to.
No, it's not. Propaganda and newspeak may say it is, but that is not the truth.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
The only "newspeak" is trying to parse the difference between a historical racist government and the current derivative movements.
White nationalist means Nazi. Silly haircuts and all.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
Just because you keep repeating things, does not make it a fact. You kind of sound like a Nazi, in fact:
-Goebbels.
Kind of ironic, don't you think?
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Yes, it is ironic that the little Nazi ratbastard outlined just how the future Nazis would react to being called Nazis - with lies.
Why can't these contemporary Nazis man-up and accept their fate?
Do they all fear exposure of their depravity or is it just the haircuts?
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
So, now you are just going to resort to name calling? Fitting. Anyways, if you are incapable of having a civil/rational discussion about various topics and ideologies, I really see no point in continuing the conversation, with you.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
My "name calling" was directed at Goebbels - the little Nazi ratbastard.
I can see how in context this may not have been clear.
But if you are defending white nationalism, then the same may apply.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
Why, though? I've clearly outlined the difference between the two, for you.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
No, you've reacted to my statement. You've outlined nothing.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
Maybe, you should try reading? Just a thought.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Breitbart or frog cartoons?
I don't care for either.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
How about my words, seeing how you are commenting to me on here?
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
I am not aware you have made a cogent statement which requires such a dissection.
Which words specifically?
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
Are you the same person I was talking to earlier? You seem to have a bad memory, or something... Hmm...
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
I have no idea who you are. I talked to several people during Game of Thrones. A zombie dragon is a great concept in my opinion.
But Putin is twat.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
Okie dokie, then... Have a nice night.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20

1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
ער טוט?
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
So at least we agree on that point.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
Do we?
1 Amos_Quito 2017-08-20
Well... u/Putin_loves_cats repeated a common misquote. Here is what Goebbels actually said:
And Goebbels statement was likely drawing on the following, which appeared in Hitler's "Mein Kampf" [emphasis mine]:
Begin Wikipedia Quote
— Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X[1]
Thus, according to Hitler, the "Big Lie" was a propaganda technique typically used by "the Jews".
[End Wikipedia Quote]
The misquote that Putin_loves_cats repeated is actually a paraphrase of a statement from a psychological report on Hitler prepared by the US OSS (predecessor to the CIA):
Wikipedia again:
History is a funny thing in that it can be (AND OFTEN IS) manipulated and contorted by those in power to mean the exact opposite of what actual happened or was said.
This is a fine example: Most people have been led to believe that Hitler and the Nazis promoted using the "Big Lie Technique" for the purposes of propaganda, when in fact, they accused "the Jews" (Hitler)and the British (Goebbels) of using these techniques.
Kind of upside-downy and crazy, isn't it?
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Great dissertation of the topic.
1 mjbmitch 2017-08-20
What do you define white supremacy as?
What do you define a Nazi as?
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
White Superiority/Dominance over other races. Persecution and subjugation.
German National Socialism.
1 News_Bot 2017-08-20
You're replying but not actually explaining the difference to him yet expecting his perception to suddenly change.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
I have explained it here. It's not my fault people do not read.
1 News_Bot 2017-08-20
Point me to it. Nazism was a form of fascism with an increased focus on racial pseudoscience, fervent nationalism and social Darwinism. "White nationalist" is an apt descriptor as each of these applies to them, unless they have some other political ideas that differ from the Nazi party. Please point me to those.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
Nazi was a German National Socialist. The only place you could actually have Nazis, is in Germany. It was a German Socio-political movement and ideology of the German/Aryan people being the superior race. White Nationalism has nothing to do with Superiority or Supremacy, merely a preference of one's race/ethnicity/cultural, over another, and the desire to preserve it. Preference does not equal hate or supremacy. A preference is a preference.
Being that historically, people of the same race, ethnicity, and cultural, have lived more happily, safely, and prosperous, throughout history, gives credence to why people tend to agree with the ideology. Multiculturalism, does not work in the long run, hence why we are seeing what we see in the US, versus what's going on in say Iceland, the Nordics, Poland, Switzerland, etc etc. Supremacy would be ruling over minorities, White Nationalism would be having a homeland and trading/commerce with all. That's the difference.
1 News_Bot 2017-08-20
So the only difference is... you not liking multiculturalism? You've failed to discern what the ideological difference between Nazis and white nationalists except pointing out that the former is German.
1 drwooo 2017-08-20
oh, kind of like communism and how it never works when in fact we never tried it. stalin's russia, NK, china, not communism
and yet, most american will call it that

Zionists had a campaign to sterilize Ethiopian Jews. Eugenics is big for them too.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
Please provide the actual definition with a legitimate source. Not your opinion on what the definition is.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/white-nationalist
Certain terms, like "white nationalist", are not defined by "opinions" but by the very definition of the words used in the phrase. This is why no one needs to define an exclusive racial designation, "white", or an socioeconomic indicator like "nationalist".
In fact the best way to determine the meaningfulness of the phrase is how vehemently the progenitors react to the definition.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
Funny...not a single mention about what a Nazi is in that bullshit you provided. They talked about other white supremacist groups.. but did not say nazis are white supremacists. Wasn't that your LITERAL DEFINITION?
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Groups listed in a variety of other categories - Ku Klux Klan, neo-Confederate, neo-Nazi, racist skinhead, and Christian Identity - could also be fairly described as "white nationalist."
https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/white-nationalist
Right there in the second short paragraph from the best NGO tracking these groups.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
Yes the second one. The socialist one.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Are you seriously trying to claim that white nationalism wasn't the entire motivation of the German Nazi Party?
Perhaps you should inquire about educational opportunities in 20th century history. White supremacy, ie. Aryan mythology, defines the entire history of the era of Nazi control of western Europe.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
Here is the actual definition of a white nationalist from Merriam Webster: one of a group of militant whites who espouse white supremacy and advocate enforced racial segregation.
Whereas, the Nazi Party believed such things as the common good coming before the private good and the individual existing as a means to the ends of the State, which includes his property (which is owned by the State).
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Or by definition, a Nazi.
Source?
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
Source is at the bottom of my comment.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
So your only objection to the reference is exact historical definitions which assume the last Nazi died with the Party?
This may be why the current Nazis are such failures, they have forgotten the face of their father.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
Would you like a definition for thw word literal?
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
If this is your only literal objection, then my point is made.
Assuming Nazis died with Hitler is as daft as assuming the KKK died with Nathan Bedford Forrest. Shithead leaders come and go, witness Donny Trump, but their shithead acolytes remain for a while.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
So you have zero recollection of claiming that white nationalists are LITERALLY nazis (i.e. the german socialist party)
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Hitler killing himself didn't kill the Nazis. The disease spreads.
It LITERALLY has spread into the Administration of a US President.
Kind of like Nazis claiming that they aren't Nazis and President Donny the Dumbass claiming that some Nazis must be "fine people"?
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
You clearly do not understand how to use the word literal.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Given the recent coup by orange-tinted fascist Lord Donny the Rotund, yes, literal.
Antifascist Action does scare the piss out of the little cartoon frog children. Good.
Individual citizens have no reason to respect the hate speech of Nazis. "Free speech" is an aspect of government only. Fascism is an aspect of government as well. This is why punching Nazis was just a pastime recently. Now it is an imperative.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
Free speech is a right for everyone. Violence is not.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
A forum is not.
Kind of hard to be a fascist without gods or government, politicians or priests. Fascism requires stupid shit like racial identity and admiration of leaders.
Et ses mains ourdiraient les entrailles du prêtre,
Au défaut d'un cordon pour étrangler les rois.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
Free speech is still a basic human right. Do you not believe in basic human rights?
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Individuals are not the arbiter of rights or laws.
So are you saying that you support universal healthcare, universal basic income, the right to unionized internationally and the sovereignty of the individual over government?
One group claiming a "right" to hate speech doesn't somehow override the sovereignty of the non-governmental collective to tolerate hatred.
Everyone is free to say anything they wish.
I am not compelled through government to provide them a public forum.
1 max-fenig 2017-08-20
I am talking about basic human rights, the things that go beyond government and religion. How would you treat your fellow human if there was no government, religion, media, telling you how to treat them?
1 theeophilus 2017-08-20
why do you consider the splc a credible source?
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
The SPLC is one of the oldest and most respected civil rights organizations in the United States.
Not only are they a "credible" source, they are the source for information concerning hate groups.
1 theeophilus 2017-08-20

1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Yea, Nazis hate civil rights organizations with Jewish attorneys on staff.
Nazis seem to get separated from their property in civil suits when the SPLC takes the case.
Much like the Antifascist Action makes the cartoon frog children piss their panties, the SPLC makes those financing them piss their panties.
1 heelspider 2017-08-20
If you think that skin color is a meaningful way to differentiate people, and furthermore, you want to live in a space that no longer has anyone other than white people who have very similar views on race - is that person a white nationalist or a Nazi? Sounds to me like both. It's all born of hatred and low self-regard, it all seeks to spread its vile poison wherever it goes. A white nationalist is someone who is obviously a Nazi but thinks as long as he doesn't say certain views in public those believes are anything other than petulant. The only people who think there is a difference are Nazis desperately trying to rebrand themselves as if branding was the problem. No one is fooled.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-20
Nazi was a German National Socialist. The only place you could actually have Nazis is in Germany. It was a German Socio-political movement and ideology of the German/Aryan people being the superior race.

Pretty sure that's why people hated them. They thought they were the superior race, and were invading countries, which caused a world war.

Nazism is an ideology and ideologies are not tied to countries. You can have nazis anywhere. Let's be real, most white natilnalists are also white supremacists. Making a difference between them is really only to try to make white nationalists seem less bad.

What exactly is wrong with White pride? Why is Black pride accepted and approved, Gay pride, accepted and approved... but the mere thought of White pride throws the nation in a fit?
Just wondering.
1 Go_Spurs_Go 2017-08-20
Blacks and gays don't have a continuous line of historical culture or heritage the way whites do, most black people don't know their country of origin because of slavery, so they've created there own. Whites have German Pride festivals, Irish Pride parades, Slavic pride events all the time. It's fine to celebrate culture and heritage, but white is not culture or heritage in and of itself, so white pride is seen as more a celebration of being white than a celebration of ones culture or heritage.
1 tentonbudgie 2017-08-20
That doesn't mean that white pride is bad. The idea of white culture, apart from separate ethnic festivals for the different European nations, is American culture. Baseball, swing dancing, cars, scientific advancement, no royalty/no titles, cheeseburgers, rock and roll, that is white culture. It was created in America to set us apart from Europe.
1 Go_Spurs_Go 2017-08-20
That's American culture. Not white culture.
1 Speedupslowdown 2017-08-20
Cars are a German invention, rock 'n' roll was invented by black people in the US. "Scientific advancement" -- whatever you mean by that, is not strictly white. Muslims contributed a TON to science.
It's also kind of dumb to meld all European cultures into one and call them white. It's totally backwards anthropology.
You can have swing dancing, though.
1 HasaDigaEeebowai 2017-08-20
That is straight up racism and white supremacy, my friend. Many different races have contributed to different inventions that created American culture. You believe only white people did these things and as such are superior and should be proud of it.

1 whatmeworkquestion 2017-08-20
What in the actual fuck? Rock and roll, swing dancing, these are literally things that are derived from black culture. I guess minorities don't play baseball? Or eat cheeseburgers? American culture is, by no means, synonymous with "white culture"
1 bomber991 2017-08-20
The way I understand it is that because most black americans are descendants of slaves, they don't really know what their heritage is or where their ancestors are from. The whole idea behind the black pride thing is that they can come together as a group and put an end to the persecution they endure.
Gay pride came about kind of in the same way. All these gay people realized there's other gay people, and figured out that if they made a group or whatever that they could end the hatred against gays.
White pride though, I'm not sure what to say. I think if there wasn't that whole Jim Crowe period after the civil war, and I think if the KKK never was a thing, then maybe it could have been a successful thing. If it was as simple as "We're all white and we want to show our community that we're the best by making improvements that benefit the entire community" then it could work. The problem is the "improvements" they have historically made have been things like lynching and murdering people that disagree with them.
1 kurmitthefrug 2017-08-20
Race is a pretty meaningful way to differentiate between groups of people, especially when you look at a multiracial society like the US. You might disagree and say that genetic differences don't play a role in the disparities seen, but the topic is not settled.
In the US, identifying as "white" is most realistic since many people are a mix of different Europeans.
I disagree with your assumption that a white nationalist agrees with everything a "Nazi" believes. Just look at Jared Taylor.
1 heelspider 2017-08-20
So in Charlottesville when people were marching the streets chanting about "the Jews" how many white nationalists stood in protest of that?
Zero. Zilch. Nada.
Let's see...a bunch of Nazis chanting racial hate slogans offends anyone who is not a Nazi, yet huh white nationalists didn't seem offended in the slightest. That's odd.

Sadly most of the world thinks differentiating people by their skin is entirely justified and natural. There is popular support among black South Africans to seize white owned farms, many people there will never accept a white person will be African. When white South Africans come to America, nobody thinks they're African American The Japanese don't consider the Korean community there to be in any way Japanese, the Tibetians don't feel they are interchangeable with the Chinese, and I don't think it's realistic for me to live with an aboriginal community in Australia and then announce I am also aboriginal and therefore a traditional land custodian. I wouldn't dream of calling any of these groups nazis for showing a preference for maintaining a racial in group or accuse them of being hateful and spreading vile poison. i just accept that values are not universal and I need to respect diversity of opinion if I want to consider myself a global citizen
1 heelspider 2017-08-20
You start off saying "sadly" but in the end embrace it. Sorry I don't embrace the idea that someone else on the other side of the world is an asshole so we should be okay with assholes here. Putin is a murderous dictator, that does not mean I should therefore be ok with a murderous dictator here. Some Muslims think if their niece gets raped they should murder her. That doesn't make me cool with it.
1 klondike1412 2017-08-20
To give a little bit of perspective, white nationalists and black nationalists can agree basically entirely on what they want. Both groups feel that they would do better without having multiple cultures "clashing" and ruining their "unity", they each think that the other group is "holding their race back".
Is this sort of tribal thinking good? I don't think so at all. It does lead to conflict. However I can't say that either movement is equivalent with supremacy, it seems like the arguments start on the basis that the "costs" of multiculturalism aren't worth it, rather than that their race is better than the other race. It's certainly implied (ie. "we would be better off without 'them' dragging us down", for either tribe) but unless they take the step of blaming their problems on specific races themselves rather than the societal idea of multiculturalism (which is a very recent idea, hence it isn't quite so crazy to think some people would disagree with it) then they're still somewhat different.
Hence it is basically always a bad idea in practice, but from an idealist perspective it isn't so crazy (just like communism or something). So it's better to pick apart their argument by bringing up the unfortunate reality of how such an ideal would need to be implemented (which would be quite inhuman, deporting people based on race) rather than assuming that they only think such a thing because they're a hateful racist. They might just be naiive, since it's really easy to sell people on the negatives of multiculturalism - it also doesn't help that there does seem to be a weird agenda behind it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5lHRxN-Do0&feature=youtu.be).
So from my perspective, they aren't wrong that multiculturalism is an ideology to be critically considered at least. Does that mean we should end it? God no, that would be very inhuman. But not wanting to ramp it up even more isn't such a wrong thing either.
1 heelspider 2017-08-20
We're not talking about people protesting multiculturalism. They were supporting a statue of a guy defending slavery, not a statue of a guy opposing white people listening to rock music or eating at Thai restaurants.
America in particular has been a mixture of cultures from day 1. Good luck getting Irish people to stop eating pizza, and Christ what a fucked up thing to be worried about. But then again, who are we kidding? No one is mad about Irish people eating pizza...they are mad because their insecurities have led them to believe the only way to get ahead is to put others down.

1 klondike1412 2017-08-20
Yes, American history is filled with a long line of racists, eugenicists, slave-owners, those who committed genocide against natives, and some "traitors". Basically all of their statues are dedicated to people who were flawed in some way. That's the way history works, trying to erase it doesn't help you overcome it.
America is a mix of cultures, hence I don't believe "white people" are any sort of a collective group (they are many totally different subcultures) and any arguments trying to lump white people together is usually either trying to declare them all evil or all superior (good ol' American eugenics theory). So naturally, when the notion that they are all evil gains a lot of support, many will disagree and over-react and start thinking they're all superior instead. It's two sides of the same coin, and that terrible coin is the idea of treating "white" like it means anything. Whether you're calling "white" good or bad.
1 heelspider 2017-08-20
When has the notion that all white people are evil gained "a lot" of support, or really, any meaningful support at all?
1 klondike1412 2017-08-20
Critical Race Theory posits this and is an extremely popular ideology within "progressive" Marxist universities and humanity programs, and Obama was a follower of the author of this theory while at university. The idea is that white people are suppressing blacks and the only way to fix this is through violent, radical action.
Nation of Islam is founded on the principle that white people have no souls and were made by an evil scientist named Yakub (I can't make this shit up) - they also believe in Dianetics and are partnered with Scientology. Some of the most popular African American figures like Louis Farrakhan and Malcolm X are from this movement. They had a march of 400,000 to 800,000 people on Washington DC in 1995. That isn't trivial support.
Most humanities programs at Universities teach this kind of Marxist logic of intersectionality and racist ideology. They judge everyone by skin colour and Whites are the most evil because they have been the most successful (ergo they must be suppressing all of those who are not as successful).
Very prevalent writers can spout this sort of blatant racism and get no backlash - see Teen Vogue writer for example.
BLM leader in Canada believes that whites are sub-human because they have less melanin or something.
I'd go on with the long list of "Either support that white people are evil or you're a neo-Nazi" which is basically trivial to collect at this point. These are people leading popular movements like BLM and Nation of Islam, popular writers, and very prevalent scholars within the humanities who preach openly racist ideology.
You need to be living under a rock for the last decade to not notice how "progressives" went from "whites are suppressing others" to "whites are inherently less human because of their skin". Just go look on Twitter at what sort of hateful drivel people are spouting.
1 heelspider 2017-08-20
That still doesn't feel like a lot, especially when you seem to mischaracterize quite a bit. For instance I looked up the Wikipedia for Critical Race Theory and whites being inferior wasn't part of it.
Regardless, two wrongs don't make a right, and oppressed minorities being angry about things makes far more sense than the entitled being angry they aren't even more entitled.
1 klondike1412 2017-08-20
Yes, to be fair Critical Race Theory places more blame on society than white people themselves. Probably not the best example. However, it's still not exactly neutral:
Again the more radical elements of "Social Justice" are really easy to find. There are a lot of people calling for "replacement" and saying that White people shouldn't have kids because that is perpetuating racism. I don't wanna be all tinfoil hat "white genocide" but the tone of the most extreme "progressive" types seems to have blatant implications that it isn't just the behaviour of white people that is the problem, it is the fact they exist at all.
1 heelspider 2017-08-20
Wait so the president in college endorsed a professor who at a different time acknowledged he had radical ideas...therefore racism is okay? Uh what?
1 klondike1412 2017-08-20
What? No, he endorsed someone who had thoughts like these
So he's arguing that meritocracy is racist, equal opportunity is racist, and colorblind justice is racist.
I'm not saying racism is OK, I'm saying it doesn't make someone a racist to disagree with people who don't believe in meritocracy and equal opportunity. If you want to know how deep their flawed assumptions go...
So they don't believe there is such a thing as objective truth or rationality, they do not believe it is possible for the law to be neutral, and they believe in these things because they are Marxists.
These ideas are not "white people are evil" but they basically imply it. They imply a system of equality isn't possible and that every injustice is because white society is evil. It's a non-coherent and philosophically void ideology, but disagreeing with it doesn't make anyone a racist, however obviously some people will go overboard and see it as an attack on their foundations of society (which isn't exactly wrong, that's what Frankfurt School tactics are all about) and then use it to justify racism instead.
But again my main point is that it is an ideology that doesn't believe in equality, hence it is fine to be a racist Critical Race Theory follower, why wouldn't you treat people based on their race? Since it is impossible to have equality, why wouldn't you treat white people differently than everyone else?
1 heelspider 2017-08-20
So you're saying because some Marxist thinks achieving equality isn't possible in a theory neither of us seems to understand very well, therefore I should dislike people who don't get sun burned as easily as me?
1 klondike1412 2017-08-20
No, I'm saying it is an extremely prevalent academic notion and that it goes as far as the President of the United States believing in such an ideology. Nobody should dislike anyone based on race, however insane Marxists like this want everyone to be in conflict (good ol' Frankfurt ideology, destroy society through relentless criticism) and view everything in the lens of race (because treating people the same no matter what colour they are is racist).
Hence, when something this stupid gets extremely popular and is threatening the core values of our society, it is not a surprise that there is a reactionary ideology which uses it's own tenants against it. Both of those are stupid, racist movements.
1 heelspider 2017-08-20
Calling Obama a Marxist should have been the craziest thing in that response, but I'll have to give it to the notion that the Charlottesville white supremacists were all grad students so inflamed by theory on social injustice they had no choice but to hate Jews.
Nope it's backlash from a black president, rural folks getting screwed by conservative economics they've been duped into supporting, an internet allowing people to form safe spaces for their bad ideas and recruit emotionally vulnerable followers, and the Republican Party increasingly edging closer and closer to overt racism over the last 15 years or so.
1 klondike1412 2017-08-20
Uhhh what about it is crazy? It's 100% founded in actual fact, do you have any idea about his history? Have you read "Dreams of my Father" and how much he loved Frank Marshall Davis (a registered Communist), he attended the April 1983 Socialist Scholars Conference (100th anniversary of Karl Marx's death), he says of his time at school "Barack Obama sought to prove he had not "sold out" to the system, so he consciously sought out the Marxist professors on campus", he was close with Bill Ayers, he gave public praise of Derrick Bell, he was close to Reverend Jeremiah Wright.... I mean is that just all a coincidence?
It's not like Marxism isn't a common thing in Universities. 18 percent of social scientist professors are self-proclaimed Marxists, not including those who hold those beliefs privately.
Blaming it on "omg black president" is a bit disingenuous. Obama is a drastic departure from what is normal for US politics and was seeking to emulate the Swedish socialist model (no, not Communism). It's not racist for a significant part of the country to be drastically opposed to that, because it is not something seen before in American politics. So if you can explain why Obama isn't a Marxist even though he was inspired by Marxists, studied under Marxists, had close relationships with Marxists, and employed a brand of politics which was a spitting image of Marxism, maybe that'd help me understand more.
I'm not saying he's a Communist. But he's certainly a Socialist, and that isn't the norm for US politics. A few decades ago, Marxism was the US's existential enemy. Expecting there not to be a public backlash against that and blaming it all on racism shows that you ignore policy and facts and only focus on race. Stop projecting your bigotry.
1 heelspider 2017-08-20
Wasn't Marx white?
1 klondike1412 2017-08-20
Marx was from a Jewish family, although his father was converted to Christianity and Marx himself was an Atheist.
Whether or not Marxism is good or not has nothing to do with his race, it has more to do with his flawed perspective on economics and the harsh reality of the Pareto principle. Hence the economic issue is usually the prime motivator in intellectual anti-Communism/anti-Socialism, not just social causes and who is what race.

Alt right is not a euphemism for white nationalism. It was coined by Trump supporters who identified politically as republicans because Trump did, but who didn't support necessarily traditional republican ideas or politicians, such as interventionism and anti-LGBTQ policies.
1 Spiel_Foss 2017-08-20
Except the very words and deeds betray the truth. Alt-right means rebranded Nazi and nothing else. At this point, Republican is just a short step to overt Nazi, so no love lost from either.
One racist flamer from the UK and cartoon frogs don't make a movement friendly to LGBTQ political issues. The original Nazis were a homosexual movement until Hitler decided that the traditionalist were much easier to control.
1 Afrobean 2017-08-20
I usually see the term used in this way as well. I see people try to conflate it with white supremacy sometimes, but those people tend to be clearly idiots.

Speaking as a socialist myself who hates the modern form of globalism forced on us, if someone wanted to advocate for a nationalistic kind of socialism, I'd be on board with that. But modern bigots don't take the politicies espoused by the original Nazis, they just see the Nazis had secretly tried to commit genocide and thought "Hey, me too!"

That was not something anyone claimed to have happened.
1 Todos1881 2017-08-20
Hahahahaha that is literally the official story. They had to dig deep into the group to get about 80% of the plane. Haahhaha you seem to not remember that the reason they claimed this was possible was because the soil was extremely soft because there used to be a mine there. They said the rest of the plane that didn't go underground broke off the went into the woods. Nice try though.

This is seriously the most basic common knowledge of the official story. You were wrong but people are wrong all the time but what is absolutely hilarious is that you thought nobody claimed the plane burried itself underground because you know it sounds absurd.
Go research the official recovery of flight 93. You were wrong and almost 3/4th of the plane supposedly burried itself underground hahaha

Trumps isn't a conservative, hes a fascist. No one has any issue with conservatives having their say. Just like no one has any issue with socialists having their say, both contribute to the democratic conversation and can be reasoned with, however on both the left and the right, theres a point at which the rhetoric becomes exclusive and undemocratic.
communism and fascism are both dangerous, totalitarian ideologies that have between them killed hundreds of millions people in the 20th century.

You're right bitcoin hats make you look like a fascist! That's literally what you just said. The rest of what you so is beyond illogical. But it appears you're not from the US so you can't really understand what's going on.
I know dozens of conservatives who believe in equal gay rights, found slavery to be horrible etc. but that doesn't stop antifa from beating the shit out of anyway they see who may have the slightest disagreement with them.
Talk time is over with antifa. I hope they get a little more violent so we can get this civil war started.

Hey buddy it's the internet but no need to lie and say it was a MAGA hat when it was a bitcoin hat. If you did any research at all you'd see that the incident was from Berkeley when people who wore all black, waved anarchist flags and called themselves anti-fascists tried burning the town down. But I'm sure they weren't Antifa.
You cant provide any evidence of antifa doing something good in the US other than fighting neo nazis in VA. You have nothing while I have 100+ hours of them causing violence on video.
Antifa already declared war. There's no moral high ground when one side is attacking innocent people and putting them in the hospital every weekend. Nice try though.

I mean t isn't completely impossible that a passport could survive the crash because when any plane crashes the explosion does send debris into a bunch of different directions.
What is fucking laughable is that we're expected to believe that they literally found the fucking hijacker's passport on the sidewalk. That is just like a one in a billion chance.

1 Breadmanjiro 2017-08-20
A one in a billion chance is still a chance though, isn't it? I doubt many of us can claim to be actual experts on what happens when an airliner blows up and what happens to everything that was inside said airliner. I realise it's an unlikely proposition, but the fact there's even intelligent life on this planet is an insanely unreasonable proposition, unlikely shit happens all the fuckin' time. Could be that there's something fishy going on here, but when people point to that example as CONCRETE EVIDENCE OF COVERT FUCKERY it's definitely a bit of a reach.
1 Todos1881 2017-08-20
I'm not sure why you were downvoted for your reply to my comment. I can't say I agree with you but you were level headed about your response.
As long as you have basic understanding of what happens when an airplane explodes then you basically know that there's a million different variables. An expert can't tell you how the materials and luggage will fall. But a passport that is most likely in his bag or in his pocket is extremely unlikely to fall onto the sidewalk. Statistically the chances are insane.
But also the chance that we're the ONLY life in the universe is 1 in 60,000,000,000 so if anything you shouldn't be surprised life exists. http://www.airspacemag.com/daily-planet/odds-were-only-technologically-advanced-species-universe-are-extremely-low-180958975/
1 Breadmanjiro 2017-08-20
You are correct that there are a million variables, but i'd say that makes it more likely that something that unusual would happen. We'l never know what happened on that plane, perhaps he had his passport in his pocket but it fell out in some kind of altercation as they attempted to take over the cockpit (if that happened) or any other number of things.
Of course, the people who believe that it was some sort of plant may be completely correct! My issue isn't with people who think that may have been the case, rather people who refuse to entertain the notion that anything else happened, ya get me?
1 UnverifiedAllegation 2017-08-20
it was probably in his luggage. when something like that happens theres literally debris everywhere, and isnt it the job of the clean up crew to collect it all and start sorting it out? i mean, they have to do it with the body parts and try to identify people...

I'm not convinced 9/11 even involved real planes. I mean, did anyone actually see them take off. We all know it was a controlled explosion, but what people need to take a look at is how the planes were choppy and had visual glitches in the footage. Hollywood is controlled by the government, so how hard would it be to do a big-budget "show"?

1 i_reddit_it 2017-08-20
I'm strong believer that the "holographic theory" is dis-info, they wouldn't even have needed holographic planes to convince people, that is the job for the MSM. However, your point doesn't mean planes would have been needed for aircraft parts to be found. They could easily have been planted there.
Many of the eye witness accounts of the (legitimate) people on the street suggest a missile rather than a plane. Also, when you look into the engine components themselves, with image comparison, they have been proven not to be parts that American Airlines used (IIRC the engine shielding is from another engine design).

Claiming no planes were involved seems to be a popular bullshit "theory" people put forward to make conspiracy theorists look stupid. As if me saying "The US government knew in advance and allowed the attack" is equally fantastic as claims of the buildings being destroyed by scifi alien weapons and also every piece of video we saw was 2001-era CGI work from Hollywood.
1 rico_of_borg 2017-08-20
do they actually think no planes were involved as in no flying objects were involved and all we (viewers) saw was cgi?
1 jubale 2017-08-20
People don't all believe the same thing. The leading theory is that there was a plane-like object in the second crash, but it was black and smaller than a commercial jet. Not enough recorded of the first crash to say anything particular about that one.
1 Renegade2592 2017-08-20
Hasn't everyone seen the footage of what looks like a missile being shot into the 2nd tower?? I think the planes were drones or something of the like that flew in directly as a controlled demolition went off.

This kind of no plane, energy weapon, garbage is posted to the 911 sub on a daily basis. Much poison to go around.
1 i_reddit_it 2017-08-20
Grouping the "no-plane" theory together with Alien energy weapons has been the real problem and the true dis-info. Aliens? That's bullshit.
No planes? If you think about it, it would make the execution of 9/11 orders of magnitude easier to execute on as a real life operation. No planes means no need for real physics, which would explain a lot. Further more, no dead passengers, no need for terrorists and must less to go wrong. I would also add that hitting to buildings directly in the center was technology that the US openly had in 2001. Missiles. No Alien weapons required.
I guess my point is that the theories are not mutually exclusive.

The media did say the building collapsed before it did. They also some how interviewed random people that knew who were behind the attacks. Lots of funny stuff happened in the media that day.
1 i_reddit_it 2017-08-20
Agreed. I have always though that September clues shines a good light on the TV fuckery that was going on that day.
1 TheBapster 2017-08-20
There were definitely commercial airplanes that flew into the two main towers, I didn't watch on TV but saw it with my own eyes.
Focus on tower 7 and why the twin towers actually collapsed, they were built to withstand this exact scenario. They didn't collapse from the plane crash, that I am certain of. Someone was pushing buttons to drop those buildings. That's what it looked like to me. What happened after those planes crashed is sketchy at best.
One thing I will never forget is how they had been working on the towers for months leading up to this attack. The whole summer half the building seemed to be blocked off or full of workers. I thought 'sweet they're finally doing a proper overhaul'... Oh yes. A proper overhaul indeed.
1 beware_the_spooks 2017-08-20

The planes were real. CIA have strong ties to Saudis (that's also why Islam is becoming so entrenched in the west). It is not that hard to get a few nutjobs. But it is also possible the planes were empty and remote controled.
1 SufferinSycophant87 2017-08-20

Bingo. Before 9/11, the common wisdom was that we were supposed to just comply with the hijackers and everything would work out. It was the safe plan, and it worked fine for decades.
Now, however... a hijacker tries that boxcutter shit and he'll instantly be buried in a mass of passengers, because now we know that complying has a huge change of getting you killed.

I don't really agree that 'white supremacism' is a defining feature for Trump and I look on these attempts to paint him like with suspicion. I think first and foremost he's a Trump Supremacist and he's going to try and do what he can to stay in power. This idea of 'political correctness gone crazy' is a vote-winner for him so it doesn't surprise me that he's slow to condemn elements of the right.

did you read it?

how does my comment "blame the jews"?
you know that there are jewish individuals who regard the present-day zionist state as fascist in nature, correct?

1 Single_Black_Women 2017-08-20
Let's not forget about Antifa, they were the ones who started the fights and are much more relevant and fascist these days.
1 News_Bot 2017-08-20
While they're thuggish, they're not "fascist." Stop using the term so loosely.
1 Single_Black_Women 2017-08-20
Shutting down people's speeches because you disagree and using violence to do so is the DEFINITION of fascist...
1 News_Bot 2017-08-20
No it isn't lmfao. Fascism is a political system.
1 Single_Black_Women 2017-08-20
You're right, shutting down political speeches which you disagree with and using violence to achieve political goals is fascist, thank your for agreeing with me.
1 plantlivecake 2017-08-20
Using violence and intimidation for political purposes is terrorism, not fascism.
1 Single_Black_Women 2017-08-20
But it's not just violence they actively try to shut down speeches THEY deem as hate speech by any means possible. If would like to agree with you that they are fascist terrorists but they haven't really committed any acts of terror. The fact remains that they are a fascist movement despite what their name implies.
1 G-BreadMan 2017-08-20
They doesn't in any way make them fascists. I think you are confused about the definition of fascist. It's about more than just shutting down opposition speech.
1 News_Bot 2017-08-20
Antifa are mostly anarchists, in which case they have no political goal except to stem the tide of fascism, which has been a historical past time. Not sure if you've noticed but anarchists don't typically engage in our political system. Or in the case of paid instigators, they're there to rile up tension among the population to divide and conquer.
Fascism is unacceptable, history has extensively exhibited it in all its bloody light and racial bigotry has no place in society. It is primitive and destructive. It chills me to the bone that folks like yourself would likely not extend these same moral passes and courtesies to communists given the opportunity, and America has historically favored fascism and done its utmost to exterminate communism.
I wonder how you would've reacted to the Pinkertons. Or the beatings and murders of trade unionists and labor leaders. How about that Night of Long Knives? This is all fascism entails. Violence and hatred, whether against working people or people with more melanin. Or do you think they're going to be kind to black people or Jews if they get a hold of power?
1 Single_Black_Women 2017-08-20
I wouldn't bother, mate. These people just can't or don't want to understand what political fascism is.

1 Single_Black_Women 2017-08-20
Right OK thanks for the pointless link? I'm sorry but it's a matter of fact, not opinion, that antifa are a fascist movement. This is proven by any clip they are featured in on the internet. Starting riots, using violence, assaulting people who disagree, trying to remove people from public property because they "aren't welcome here" is fascist. There's nothing you can say to change fact, wether you disagree or not, sorry.
1 plantlivecake 2017-08-20
Pointless link?
Benito Mussolini invented and defined fascism. You don't just get to make up whatever meaning you want for words.
Fascism is a socialist political ideology.
1 Single_Black_Women 2017-08-20
OK so to get this straight, you think it isn't fascist to shut down speech you disagree with by way of force, trying to remove people from expressing their beliefs on public property and assaulting people who disagree with you?
1 plantlivecake 2017-08-20
Yes, I am saying you have no idea what fascism is. Especially when you call anarchists fascist.
1 Single_Black_Women 2017-08-20
OK, you're clearly too smart for me. It's impossible to be both, you're right. Happy Redditing :)
1 G-BreadMan 2017-08-20
Facsits want a strong totalitarian & authoritarian one party state, that does whatever necessary to support its corporations & party and the expense of civil rights and liberties. Anarchists want no state at all. So yes it is inherently impossible to be both.
1 440h1z 2017-08-20
That is not true at all. The fighting started on a Friday when the alt right protesters marched onto the campus and found a small group of students and facility members, encircled them and begun to mace them.
1 Single_Black_Women 2017-08-20
Sure sure
1 RPmatrix 2017-08-20
what do you think "antifa" stands for?
calling them 'fascists' is so ridiculous it immediately makes whoever does so appear a complete and ignorant fool who's parroting what they've been TOLD!
how long do you think 'antifa' has been around for?
did you even bother to UTFSE and google them, maybe find out something about them other than what you've been told? No Of course not;
like most people you haven't becoz that takes effort and critical thinking skills, things you don't have becoz it's 'too hard' so you let others do it for you ,, and around we go again!

Nazis marching and chanting is not new. The hysteria and free marketing is.
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
White supremacy is an issue now because the President keeps not disavowing them. The best he could do is read out a written statement and then immediately go back and say that he is against violence on "many sides".
1 ihavetenfingers 2017-08-20
Will the media stop if he does?
All they're doing right now is replacing the terrorist scare with Nazis.
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
The media's job is reporting whatever is happening the way that would it get the most viewers. If a Nazi parade is happening, a Nazi protester kills runs a car into an anti-Nazi demonstration and the President refuses to say that Nazis are responsible, then conveniently the best way for news organizations to report it is exactly how it happens.
There isn't really a Nazi scare, the media isn't going "oh the Nazis are coming for your children!!!". They're going "Nazis are happening and Trump considers them just a side among many".
1 ihavetenfingers 2017-08-20
No, the media's job isn't reporting whatever is happening the way it would get the most viewers, that's what tabloids are for, although I guess you could argue that being "media" if you're anal about it.

1 open_ur_mind 2017-08-20
Is your claim that the violence is one sided?
1 1984Freeman 2017-08-20
The violence clearly has many sides to those that live in reality, Antifa is a peaceful organization now?
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
I don't particularly like Antifa, but white supremacist want to go back to lynching blacks, and the Nazis want to kill most of the population in the US, so there really is no contest. Even comparing violence in that particular demonstration, one group put a little use into bats and pepper spray, and the other group drove a car into the crowd. There is one side worth talking about.
1 1984Freeman 2017-08-20
That's is what you are saying. I could say that BLM wants to kill cops and Antifa is a communist organization.
One group shot down a GOP representative and killed multiple cops the other group drove a car into a crowd (not unlike the Somali student from Ohio state before he knifed people not that long ago).
Yet lets pretend there is only violence from one side. At least Nazis are despised by everyone meanwhile Antifa and leftist extremist have media support and much larger numbers.
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
Nazi ideology is genocidal. Everyone one of the people marching there is pro genocide. If they had their way, the US would kill dozens of millions of its own citizens. How can you even try to compare that ideology to a black rights movement with regrettable violent fringes? Violence isn't a fringe with white supremacist and Nazis, violence is the ideology.
1 1984Freeman 2017-08-20
Nazi ideology isn't the only one that is genocidal, history backs that up as we've seen genocide for various reasons (with communism being the MVP of genocide).
You miss my point entirely, I'm not the one trying to justify or relativize violence.
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
Communism isn't a genocidal ideology, though it's bad enough to have caused some genocides in the past.
I'm saying that a Nazi rally is by definition a demonstration in favor of mass violence. I don't pretend that there's violence only on one side, but just because two sides have some nonzero amount of violence doesn't make them comparable. I am trying to relativize violence, and I'm pitching advocating mass-murder of millions of people against a black rights movement that is largely non-violent.
I'm not justifying violence on any side, but Nazis and white supremacist are in favor of violence and it's ridiculous to chastise anti-Nazis for being violent.
1 1984Freeman 2017-08-20
"I'm not justifying violence on any side, but Nazis and white supremacist are in favor of violence and it's ridiculous to chastise anti-Nazis for being violent."
Come on, isn't that statement just full of contradictions?
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
I am not justifying the violence. I am saying that if you focus on Antifa then you're missing the important part.
1 1984Freeman 2017-08-20
To me they simply feed each other, go on the street with baseball bats looking for a fight and you are going to find it.
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
You might be under that impression if you forget for a second that the Nazis are for killing half of the US population and the other side is a against them. I can't seem to ignore this fact.

One group? There is zero evidence that the GOP congressman shooter was in any way affiliated with a group of any kind, much less AntiFa.
Whereas the other guy was photographed alongside VanguardAmerica fascists.
Why are you bringing a completely different incident into this that has nothing to do with AntiFa?
1 1984Freeman 2017-08-20
Are you even reading what I wrote it is pretty clear. If that guy wasn't a member of any group just substitute that example with "attempting to murder someone by hitting them in the head with a a metal lock".
My point still stand its easy to portray just one side as being violent when you ignore all the violence from the other side.
1 Drewcifer419 2017-08-20
You're another one of these jokers I see. You're nothing but a terrorist sympathizer. You excuse political violence, who gives a shit what side. You excuse more than 18 back-months of nationwide antifa violence because one dumbfuck rammed a crowd.
Keep defending terrorists and labeling all dissenting opinion as pro-nazi like a good little fascist.

I didn't steal your point, just reiterating it. You have to acknowledge all sides. Are we forgetting the historical, well documented violence committed by the police towards racial minorities? Which greatly out number "Black supremacist... killing cops." (by the way cop deaths always makes it onto the MSM.) You can't make it seem like the right is the only victim when both sides are.
1 1984Freeman 2017-08-20
I've seem him denouncing them many times. What does he have to say? Its not like he ever showed support to those groups in the first place.
Sorry if I don't fall for the ludicrous attempt to group Trump with Nazis.
1 UnverifiedAllegation 2017-08-20
the nazis, richard spencer, david duke dont agree with you. they saw the statements as support. so did everyone else. soo i guess everyone is pretty much on the front page except for trump supporters who arent nazis, who want give the biggest benefit of the doubt
1 1984Freeman 2017-08-20
So you believe Trump support Nazis?
1 UnverifiedAllegation 2017-08-20
i think he goes out of his way to not offend them because someone (probably bannon) had him convinced they were a big part of his base. trump doesnt go after people who support him, and he relentlessly attacks anyone who attacks him. youre telling me he would unleash a tweetstorm on the chick from morning joe but cant say the kkk sucks? whats going on there?

Why? Why do you need to?
1 khazar_jew 2017-08-20
That is such a joke of an opinion and you should feel ashamed. That kind of bullshit is how every single modern president manages to get away with murder by supporting terrorists, then "disavowing" their actions to "prove" to you he is not involved. Even bringing it up would be doing more support for them than he currently is. He even stated that "racism is evil" after the Charlottesville riots. What more do you expect? The people that kill people go to prison. Racist or not. You are the one making it a problem by convincing yourself it is a problem.
1 rocketwrench 2017-08-20
Because they are all interpreting what he's said as approval. The daily stormer was practically wetting themselves in excitement because he didn't use strong terms to disavow them.
1 Seriouscatt 2017-08-20
Some irrelevant website which is only popular because of alt-left outrage is excited? Keep talking about them so they stay in the spotlight
1 rocketwrench 2017-08-20
It's run by the folks who organized and applied for the permits in charlottesville. And it was on the front page several times since charlottesville because they lost their hosting 3 times. It's not irrelevant, it is the home of my enemy. Not because I am alt-left but because it is populated by people who want me and my family dead. And by people who want to destroy the democracy of the country I call home.
1 Seriouscatt 2017-08-20
You ever heard of the website before 2 weeks ago?
No I didnt think so.
I bet it has 1000x more traffic now than it did before. Thanks to the alt left
1 rocketwrench 2017-08-20
Alright, so a 2nd tier response in buried in a 3rd rate subreddit is driving traffic to their website. More traffic than all the publicity of being shutdown by godaddy, google hosting and some .ru provider. I actually tried googling the site to see if I could find it and it didn't turn up, other than lots of news articles about what it is and what's happened to their hosting for the past few weeks.
Does it matter when I heard about the site, does that somehow correlate to it's relevance? Do you often answer questions for people you're having a discussion with? Do you realize that "alt left" is a MSM fabrication, and that most antifas would be horrified to be lumped in with any mainstream leftist?
1 Seriouscatt 2017-08-20
So you havent heard of the website before. Immediately giving results to the entire thing.
Some irrelevant website which probs couldnt pay for their hosting is now extremely popular
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
A, there's no such thing as alt-left. B, of course I've heard of the Daily Stormer. For one, search this subreddit for mentions of it.
1 Seriouscatt 2017-08-20
Alt left exists. Well I hadnt so the alt left made at least 1 person know it exists
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
No. What happened was that the President wanted there to be "many sides" that he could blame for being bad, instead of just one. So he took the alt-right and flipped it so that he could blame the left that they're as bad as the right, while in fact, they aren't.
Alt right is a term coined a few years ago by Richard Spencer. Spencer operates altright.com, which by the way currently has enlightening headline "The Alt-Right And Antifa Are Exactly The Same". There are zero leftists who call themselves alt-left, though. The alt-left is a movement that doesn't exist. You're telling me now that it exists because Trump used the term and it's kinda convenient for you guys to have an equivalent other side that's just as bad. Unfortunately, it doesn't exist. SAD!
It would be good if more people know of white supremacy websites. That way they can't pretend not to know that they're much worse than leftist movements.
1 Seriouscatt 2017-08-20
Why are you so mad about the existence of the alt left?
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
This thread's title is about how Nazis are a manufactured narrative. One of the major differences between Nazis and the alt-left is that Nazis exist. No matter how manufactured you think the Nazi "narrative" is, the alt-left is a narrative literally made up by the government. Talk about manufactured.

These people literally wet themselves in euphoria whenever he gives them what they interpret as a wink of approval. Tweeting blatantly anti Semitic comics, pretending not to know who David Duke is, not immediately saying anything about literal nazis when he has no problem talking shit about ANY OTHER PERSON OR GROUP. Of all the times for Trump to not be aggressively vocal he chose the worst one and they love it. They interpret it as a serious revival and they think they have political influence. And who knows, with the way that people refuse to hold their politicians accountable maybe they do if they can keep people in power who keep signaling to them through inaction. He has advisors and investigators who are telling him to blatantly disavow nazis because his actions embolden them. He is the president and what he does affects people. It is not unreasonable to want him to firmly distance himself from these people in every way when their leaders say unambiguously that they believe D Trump to be their rise from the ashes. That is not an unreasonable request. It's what his own advisors and political allies want. It's what you should expect at the very least.

1 lolzfeminism 2017-08-20
If people ask you to comment on that thing because people think your opinion matters, then yes you have to disavow it, because not doing so will be seen as tacit approval of said thing. This applies to anyone who is asked to comment, not just the pres.
1 Drewcifer419 2017-08-20
He disavowed the day of, and the day after. But people don't give a shit because if you acknowledged any of that you wouldn't get to blindly bitch and moan about ebil nazis.
1 unruly_mattress 2017-08-20
Trump is good at saying everything. He read from a page that white supremacists and Nazis are bad. Then he continued - the "alt-left" is also bad, the anti-Nazi demonstration was violent, he denounces violence on many sides, the Nazis had a permit, the anti-Nazis didn't have a permit, and the Nazis were right to march because it's wrong to move a statue to a museum.
Since I have a brain, I'm able to comprehend the entire situation, yes, and come to a conclusion.
1 superportal 2017-08-20
Wtf are you talking about? Trump day after incident: "Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. "

A few hundred pieces of shit mean nothing when you remember we're a nation of 320 million. Those pieces of shit legitimate are pieces of shit, but they don't fucking matter at all as a group. The media just wants to make it seem like there's a neo-nazi uprising when the reality is that we've ALWAYS had at least a few hundred pieces of shit like this. They want to conflate Trump and his supporters with the worst of the worst scum that are so rare that they don't even matter. Trump is a bigot and many of his most ardent followers are as well, but the common racism those common fools practice is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT anywhere even in the same neighborhood as literal neo-nazis. Saying "Santa has to be White" if someone suggests the idea of a Black Santa is not the same thing as marching with torches, saying "Mexicans are rapists" is not the same thing as yelling out Nazi chants alluding to genocide.

“We are determined to take our country back. We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in, that’s why we voted for Donald Trump. Because he said he’s going to take our country back. That’s what we gotta do.” - David Duke
Yep, that's all the media. No one else is conflating the two.

When self-professed white nationalists chant "YOU will not replace us" who do you think is the "you" and who's the "us"?
My reasonable induction is: "you" is multiculturalism-Jews, blacks, latinos; "us" is white people. It plays into the demented bullshit that is "white genocide" and the rest of their nationalist paranoia.
A few said "jews", many said "you": they meant the same thing.

This entire bullshit hype is no different than Missouri or Baltimore. Paid protests to divide the nation, strip liberties, and take the focus away from the real threat to the people, which is the elite criminal class.
1 smileybird 2017-08-20
What evidence have you seen that suggests the protesters are paid?
1 DarthCasanova 2017-08-20
Some protesters. Provocateur groups. They come in and get everyone riled up. Or infiltration into groups by opposition to change their direction. These tactics aren't anything new. It's been going on at least 50 years. The proof is always the same. Cops told to stand down, ads for paid protesters, provocateur groups hotel bulls paid for, etc. Just search for provocateur groups on YouTube and paid protests and judge for yourself
1 smileybird 2017-08-20
After searching the topic for a little while, I don't see anything that approaches solid evidence for a conspiracy of paid protesters.
1 DarthCasanova 2017-08-20
Ohhhhh, you put a little while into it? Get back to me after you put in a few decades.

The video linked shows exactly how they do it, you show up and ask misleading questions and then ask them to repeat the points you said.

The attempt to orchestrate mass hysteria about Nazi's hiding under the bed is going for the back-to-back record setting for the most artificial, manufactured media narrative in decades.

Apparently, the whites were chanting about the Jews, not the South.
1 Afrobean 2017-08-20
Yeah, it's actually kind of strange the way two distinctly different groups of horrible bigots are being conflated. National socialists hated Jews because the Jews had been scapegoated for the economic failings of Germany at the time. On the flipside, you have the Confederates from the Civil War. They fought for their states' rights... specifically their right to own chattel slaves.
And the media's goal is to conflate these two historical groups with modern racists. The only thing is: nazis genocided Jews, Confederates enslaved Black people. What have Trump supporters done? Have Trump supporters committed genocide? Advocated genocide? Kept slaves? Advocated keeping slaves? What has Trump done on that level? That's the problem: Trump is a racist without a doubt, but he's nowhere near as terrible as the Nazis or the Confederates.
1 WisperingPenis 2017-08-20
Trump may be a racist, but he has not said much about race that I can see. He said that both sides were to blame, which is true to an extent, but he has not come out saying that America's problems are due to blacks or any other such thing.
1 Mrb84 2017-08-20
One person was murderer and one person murdered her. Both groups might be violent, but on that day in that place only one group committed murder, only one group was lethally attacked. It's not weird to take that into consideration and to demand for the President to make that distinction.
I don't think (left or right) anyone is in any real confusion about what happened: Trump is not a Nazi but Nazis are (so far) loyal to him. He made a calculation, a bet that the grief he would take by not singling them out was worth the consolidation of the base. That by remaining ambiguous, he would keep more votes than he'd lose. I don't think he gives a flying fuck about white nationalism, or militant antifa radicalism. He's not racist or anti-racist, he's a Trumpian and that's all.
I would also note that, so far, every time he has done such appallingly cynical calculations, he has been right. Spot on each and every time.
1 ggghhhhhh 2017-08-20
I'm not a fan of trump or the rally (I think nazi imagery was open and prevalent including the "blood and soil" and "Jews will not replace us" chants)
But I'm upvoting you for a smart and reasonable comment that accepts that the golocaust actually happened.
People on this subreddit glorify nazis and say the holocuast didn't happen and I'm sorry but that's disgusting.
1 Afrobean 2017-08-20
I'm no fan of Trump either. He's a horrible human being who deserves prison for the crimes he's committed. Both crimes before being elected and war crimes since. But that doesn't mean he's a Nazi and it doesn't mean people who like him are Nazis. Even if a very small amount of assholes who like Trump actually are neo-nazis like some of those folks in Charlottesville really are. Most of the people who voted for Trump were just trying to stop Clinton from winning. If Trump only had neo Nazis and such scum on his side, he probably wouldn't even crack 1%.
By the way, there aren't many who deny the atrocities committed by the Nazis altogether either. I've been a regular contributor here for over a year and I don't think I've EVER seen anyone "glorify Nazis" either. Got a link to someone glorifying Nazis and not being immediately blown the fuck out for it? Most "denials" are just people saying that fewer people were killed/mistreated than are claimed by popular sources, and if you look at independent resources, there is good reason to believe that it's possible that far fewer people were killed than is claimed. That doesn't mean the Nazis didn't commit genocide, their crimes are documented and obviously many were treated inhumanely and murdered, but when the media is known to lie for political reasons, it would be foolish to accept their claims without extreme scrutiny.
1 the_soros 2017-08-20

1 Benroark 2017-08-20
There were quite a few more than 1 giving Nazi salutes. There were others with Nazi tattoos. There were many chanting "blood and soil". There were other flags of other white supremacist groups too. I'm not sure whether the number of actual Nazi flags is terribly important in this context. Yes, there is hype and outrage, because it's fucking Nazis and Klanners marching around, apparently newly emboldened to spread their message of hatred. What disturbs me almost as much as that is all the apologia, deflection and distraction floating around in response to it.
Like the people who keep claiming "look out, TPTB are just trying to divide and conquer us!". Well, most people are already quite divided from white supremacists aren't they...
1 KaleMunoz 2017-08-20
I don't think it is. I think there are definitely opportunists out there taking advantage of the situation, but concern is also legitimate. Quietly, without a whole lot of politicizing off of it, white supremacist organizations have been steadily growing for about a decade. Their being emboldened is partially due to media highlighting them, but some of it is organic too. The number of online platform controversies involving this type of content has grown a lot recently and really imposed itself on companies (I'm not defending all of the behaviors of all of these companies, just to be clear).
And many of these groups like Trump, rightly or wrongly. Political sociologists have observed a pretty common phenomenon. Groups with violent tendencies will act more violently when they feel the leadership is behind them. They believe, rightly or wrongly, that they can commit these types of crimes with impunity. We see it with Islamists targeting religious minorities, we see it with racial hate groups, and we see it with Hindu nationalist attacking religious minorities in India. It really isn't surprising to see these groups come out into the open and act more boldly in the United States. It's expected.
1 BassBeerNBabes 2017-08-20
No they haven't. If anything they've been dying of old age in mass numbers.
1 KaleMunoz 2017-08-20
That isn't true. There was a steady increases from the 1999-2012, a brief reprieve, and a spike in 2015. The Southern Poverty Law Center is one organization that publishes this. Granted, they are biased political hacks. But their data isn't bad. They lump in a few non-hate groups into the mix to discredit them because of political difference, but deleting those cases wouldn't ruin the general trend. You also see similar patterns when you just look at KKK groups.
And if you look at these groups, it isn't just older people. There is been a wave of rather explicitly racist political candidates gaining power throughout Europe. These parties do not succeed without young voters. Looking at the most racist elements of the alt right in the United States, you see a lot of young activist involved with them.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the KKK is essentially a group with the same ideology as neo nazis, and they were there in large numbers.
To say "only one guy" there was a nazi is incorrect, however I agree that this whole thing has been blown out of proportion, especially considering the mindfuckingly high ratio of antifa protesters to the small group of far-right demonstrators.

1 velimak 2017-08-20
The actual KKK membership number is like 5,000.
5,000. They couldn't fill out a hotel event room for a meeting if they wanted to.
They have 0 political power. They have 0 social power. They don't have power to do much of anything really. They obviously preach a bad message, but for what it's worth they don't even seem to follow through with their hate speech. There hasn't actually been any notable or measurable white supremacist acts of crime, outside of Dylan Roof and the recent car ploughing.
There simply is not an epidemic of Nazism in America like the media portrays. It is one of the most smallest, ineffective, powerless groups in America.
Meanwhile illegal immigration crime, the opioid epidemic, ISIS terror attacks abroad, healthcare, North Korean belligerency, and Antifa anarchy packs vandalising the streets are all completely ignored by the media and take a back seat to some imagined, fake, powerless Nazi enemy.
Them priorities. Let's remove American Civil War monuments, and promote white loathing in the media, and attach the President to racism as much as possible. When the Left doesn't hold political power in the 3 branches, they whip racial tensions to epic proportions because social power is all they have left and they will use it to dethrone their political opponents.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who recognizes that these rallies are the death throes of their beliefs.

Someone died. People are talking about it because a member of the group committed an attack on American soil and killed a person, in the name of that ideology.
Sometimes I read posts on this subreddit and wonder if you've ever actually put any thought into the word "news". People are talking about it because it just happened. People aren't talking about Russia because there's something bigger to talk about and there's a lull in Russia news as the investigation continues (there have been similar low news fortnights in the past, but people probably kept on Russia because there wasn't anything else breaking).
Sure, it all makes sense if you think Hillary is in her evil lair with her henchmen pulling levers and creating scandals for Trump. It also makes sense if you just... think about it for a second? People want to talk about new shit that's happening, so shit will dominate the news.

I think it has to do with obsessive personalities here. They can't comprehend multiple topics being newsworthy and important. The Russia investigation is still moving, with news as recent as a few days ago. But because that's not the only thing we're talking about, it must be over.
1 Dr_Dornon 2017-08-20
Gangs do this every day.
1 Tranchera 2017-08-20
That's also not news.
1 jdotg 2017-08-20
Well your point was somebody died for an ideology.
Gang crime is a very real issue that paints a large stain, so no reports on that, aside from local. While a staged event such as Charlottesville can fill the division fuel tank, so let's push that national
1 6767w 2017-08-20
Right and if gang related crime were new, it would be in the news.
1 jdotg 2017-08-20
To say that only because organized crime and gang culture is not a recent development, that it should be disregarded and underreported is a little silly. It seems some people associate social justice and it's associated violence as if it is above the law. Crime is crime, although I do believe innocent until proven guilty. But not vigilant civilians being judge jury and executioner. So that begs the question why is one crime over sensationalized and the other under reported? It's my opinion it's agenda driven, not some current topic. Are you implying racism and racist acts are more recent?
1 6767w 2017-08-20
No one said that. that's a different point entirely.
1 jdotg 2017-08-20
Ah another person that edits their comment with 10x the detail after you reply..
I'm not questioning why it's news, I'm saying it's over sensationalized. I haven't heard the guy say anything, I'll reserve my opinion until then.
Original reponse was only this
As if racism was in some way new..
1 6767w 2017-08-20
As if that's the only thing that makes this interesting.
1 jdotg 2017-08-20
Me: >To say that only because organized crime and gang culture is not a recent development, that it should be disregarded and underreported is a little silly. You: >No one said that. That's a different point entirely. Also you: >Gang related crime isn't newsworthy, as per my original reply
1 6767w 2017-08-20
It's not underreported. It's also not newsworthy
1 jdotg 2017-08-20
So you determine what is newsworthy and are also spokesman for the general public? Just for clarification
1 6767w 2017-08-20
I mean you're free to disagree with my position on what is newsworthy, but gang violence isn't selling papers.
1 jdotg 2017-08-20
I stated in the comment you replied to, national coverage of gang problems paint a bad picture of America, hence little coverage. You said it's not newsworthy, I disagree and there is plenty of local coverage of the issue. I just thought it was funny your opinion turned into the general publics too.
But it gets tons or local coverage. I haven't disagreed. I'm just saying bull. You can google gang problems and see tons of recent stories. Postings before and after car ramming. Yet nationally usage of the media to promote this idea of a race war and the charade that people can't get along, so discontent, is going strong and this event helps promotes that.
1 6767w 2017-08-20
It never gets frontpage coverage because it isn't very newsworthy, but if you need filler it's great. Meanwhile politically fueled car rammings basically never happen so this one is obviously frontpage content instantly. This outcome is obvious for both.
That only works because racial and political strife is an issue that most people feel a connection to.
1 RuPaulver 2017-08-20
I'd actually disagree to a small extent. KKK is basically a dying ritualistic gang. The new school (especially younger) white nationalists don't claim memberships to any group or are part of various smaller groups. With growing access to information, these groups and individuals are gaining followers and becoming slightly less marginalized.
Not that it's a serious threat to take over political power in the country or nuke an entire city, and the MSM is definitely spending too much time on it. But it is an unfortunate issue.
1 2legittoquit 2017-08-20
That's like equating the waning prevalence of Al'Qaeda members to a decrease in radical islamic terrorism. There are huge numbers of white supremacist/ white nationalist groups that just don't identify themselves as the KKK. But have essentially the same ideals.
1 CurseOfTheRedRiver 2017-08-20
So what else is happening that the mainstream media needs to act as a facade for?
1 1029384756yyy 2017-08-20
Of course the Jewish media will trash the nazis, are you really that surprised..
1 heineycan 2017-08-20
It's hilarious that you minimize Nazis, and then list "Antifa anarchy packs vandalising the streets" as one of "the real threats."
1 CantHandleTheRandal 2017-08-20
The latter is in cahoots with city authorities, though.
1 TheGulagArchipelago 2017-08-20
I think it makes perfect sense. There are violent Antifa groups on nearly every college campus. Hell, we have bash the dash posters everywhere up here in Toronto. There are upwards of 3 million violent communists in North America, as opposed to a few thousand nazis. These communists have stated on public forums about the need to purge liberals/conservatives/libertarians--everyone is a nazi to them. I am very afraid of them. Nazis are too few and stupid to scare me.
1 cgamonitor 2017-08-20
The similarly racist "Alt-right" is much larger, and by all appearances, growing.
1 Space__Stuff 2017-08-20
On a scale of 1-100 of biggest threats, I really seriously do not think "nazis" are higher than a .5.
1 Unholy_VI 2017-08-20
I mean, no one likes a Nazi. But like you said it isn't like there are more than possibly like, a few hundred in the world. Period. The ones who are are a pathetic bunch too. It's not like they're highly placed in governments, police departments, the military...they're mostly crackhead ex-cons who joined a white supremacy group in prison so they wouldn't get buttraped quite as often (who knows if it even worked?)
Not only that every single one of them is one multiple government watch lists and probalby any 'group' with more than a handful of members is an FBI honeypot to keep tabs on them, control them, and have false-flag patsies to use for the next terror scare.
Anyone who thinks the Nazis are a threat to anything is a total moron still living in the 1930s.
1 bannana 2017-08-20
Firstly, the term 'nazi' is being used as a blanket term to include all white race supremacist (christian identity, kkk, aryan brotherhood whatthefuckever), they are not specifically referring only to actual neo-nazis when this term is used. There are 10s of thousands of people who subscribe to these groups world wide. In the US there are around 950 separate white based hate groups some with hundreds of members each. No, actual 'nazis' probably aren't a threat but in the last 10yrs the rise in white hate groups has grown faster than any other time since the civil rights era.
1 TheRadChad 2017-08-20
Then call them that. Not Nazi. Yelling Nazi doesn't help there cause, it makes it laughable.
1 MKUltraFeast 2017-08-20
Laughable to you. Seems to have a pretty major effect on the general public.
1 MyMorningCovfefe 2017-08-20
Over 70% found DJT's comments on the violence in Charlottesville 'not racist.'
1 CG28 2017-08-20
That's the perception. I dunno about you, but I haven't seen any nazis today at all. None at work. None in the parking lot. None on my drive to work.
1 bannana 2017-08-20
you want the media to list 25 separate groups when talking about these folks? That's probably not going to happen.
1 globalism_sux 2017-08-20
They should call them "white rights advocates" or "white activist groups." Some of them, but not all, could even be referred to as "white separatist," but "white supremacist" is certainly a misnomer for most of these groups, and certainly a dumb way of referring to people organizing to preserve a Civil War monument.
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
Who the fuck cares? Are you actually worried about the term Nazi being appropriated?
1 globalism_sux 2017-08-20
You mean who the fuck cares about accurately describing contemporary events?
Why are you even in here?
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
I don't answer questions from Nazi sympathizers
1 globalism_sux 2017-08-20
You have an interesting way of validating my point.
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
Ha, that would require you to have a point
1 MyMorningCovfefe 2017-08-20
So 'nuanced' just like all the Democrats.
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
Rich coming from a thread that is literally arguing semantics here. The point OP made was basically "Well, not all white nationalists are Nazis." Really? That's what we need to be worried about here?
1 X_SuperTerrorizer_X 2017-08-20
If you don't want to argue the semantics then why are you in this thread? That's what it's about.
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
So you also agree with PC culture then?
1 BongmasterGeneral420 2017-08-20
They are also often referred to as white nationalists, which I think is a more fitting term than any of your suggestions.
1 CG28 2017-08-20
Yeah, how dare they be accurate.
1 X_SuperTerrorizer_X 2017-08-20
I think the point the OP is making is that they're NOT accurate.
1 Whoareyou559 2017-08-20
Yes, i would like specifics. Especially in a time when the media throws Libertarians and Anti-authoritarians in the same bus as a white supremacist lol. DIVIDE AND CONQUER WORKED this is just tribalism being pushed by the top
1 MWcrazyhorse 2017-08-20
"Christian identity". Now you are up to 1.5 billion.
1 bannana 2017-08-20
You might not be qualified to participate in this conversation if you aren't familiar with Christian Identity, this was the group both Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolf were members.
1 MWcrazyhorse 2017-08-20
Ah that's a group called 'Christian Identity'?
1 Unholy_VI 2017-08-20
Yeah and chupacabras are seen all over the world too. Why isnt the media covering that?
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
And you arbitrarily get to decide what a hate group is.
Let's take a look at the "About the NSM" page from the National Socialist Movement of America's website, while keeping in mind that this like probably all other self-proclaimed "Nazi" parties is an FBI honeypot (even Richard Spencer is an op and he doesn't even call himself a national socialist, just a "white identitarian"):
Oh, what vicious hatred! White people deserve the same self-determination as we encourage and enthusiastically cheer for literally other ethnicity? Those evil bastards!
The two party system is flawed? We should end the wars in the middle east?
What bitter hatred!!! They must be stopped!!! Makes me sick to see these hateful sons of bitches getting away with this! It's annudah Shoah!
1 bannana 2017-08-20
o0, found the nazi sympathizer or maybe just an actual nazi here.
1 oceansnowe 2017-08-20
He's clearly not a...
GRAMMAR NAZI
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
Found the anti-white.
1 sweetjaaane 2017-08-20
just because you're anti nazi doesn't mean you're anti white. many of us are also white. eat shit.
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
So brave. I am anti-werewolf because they are as prevalent and pose as great a threat as Nazis.
1 sweetjaaane 2017-08-20
Pretty sure White Nationalists have murdered more people in the United States than werewolves.
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
White nationalists like Washington and Jefferson?
1 sweetjaaane 2017-08-20
Did Washington and Jefferson advocate for the creation of a WHITE nation?
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
Just gonna gloss over that one eh?
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
So are you against Tibetan separation or do you just hate white people so much that they cannot form their own nation? As terrible as white people are, as oppressive and racist as they have proven to be, isn't this a good thing...? Kind of seems like a double standard until you realize people are just virtue-signaling against whites.
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
Tibetan independence is not racially motivated, so how is that equivalent? Seems like you're really reaching to justify your insane beliefs.
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
More anti-white virtue-signaling. You don't even know my irrelevant "beliefs."
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
Then what exactly are you defending here? Because you sound like a lunatic
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
The only thing I am here to defend is OP's suggestion that Nazi hysteria is artificially manufactured, and made possible by anti-white virtue signaling.
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
There is no hysteria. For someone on /r/conspiracy you're sure putting a lot of weight into the media's responsibility
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
The media convinced a good number of people here that real Nazis actually gather in large numbers and that one actually killed someone with a car.
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
Are you saying that Nazis are worse than white supremacists?
Ummm, that happened
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
Nazis aren't (weren't) even white supremacists, as Hitler's SS wasn't even comprised of all white people. None of the groups at the Charlottesville rally identify as white supremacists either.
I guess you're just not up to date on the details of the incident where now we know a key eyewitness was CIA, a key organizer was an Obama supporter, there were two cars used, the driver pictured in the car does not match the suspect arrested, the suspect was not even a member of Vanguard America, and in other words it was a fabricated false flag.
But if you believe everything the teevee says, I can see how you might be scared of cartoonish Nazis running around.
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
Oh boy. There it is
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
(This is a conspiracy forum; false flags are real)
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
Just because it's a conspiracy forum doesn't mean you get to make up a narrative to fit your preexisting beliefs. Go to /r/worldbuilding if that's what you're into
1 joe_jaywalker 2017-08-20
Haha, no thanks, I've actually looked at the evidence, I'm not hungrily devouring a made-up story that tickles my pre-existing belief that literal Nazis are attempting to racially cleanse the nation by getting into pointless fender benders.
1 Illinois_Jones 2017-08-20
What evidence exactly?
1 not-a-drug_dealer 2017-08-20
Dude you're trying to argue the fear out of atleast 5 very scared white dudes right now. It ain't gonna work
1 sweetjaaane 2017-08-20
This is the problem with framing nazis as just "white rights advocates." It makes people who want to give these assholes the benefit of doubt decide "oh well now they can't be that bad can they?"
1 Talkytalktalk 2017-08-20
Is it problematic?
1 zlatanta 2017-08-20

1 Unholy_VI 2017-08-20
The only ones I've ever met are usually too busy drinking, smoking weed, beating their 'old lady' and not-bathing to be like trying to install a new reich.
You give them way too much credit. And of course you're going to find all sorts of stats telling you there's practically a well organized wermacht right under our noses!
I'm saying stop reading stupid shit and like, look around you. Where are they?
1 zlatanta 2017-08-20

1 G-BreadMan 2017-08-20
There are far right nazi and white supremacist blogs that get 100,000 of views. That doesn't line up with your number of 250.
1 Unholy_VI 2017-08-20
yeah right. I'm suuuuure those stats are legit.
1 G-BreadMan 2017-08-20
There's over 600 anti-jewish hate crimes per year according to the FBI. And there's 99 neo-nazi groups in America according to the southern poverty law center. Those numbers really wouldn't surprise me in a country of over 250 million.
1 REAL-BIG-TUNA 2017-08-20
Yep and you visiting those blogs just ran that number up again. Just because a blog has views, doesn't mean everyone supports it. Most of the people visiting those blogs are there to shit post.
1 G-BreadMan 2017-08-20
Where have I ever said I visited them? And I'm sure some people do exactly what you suggest. Even assuming all "250" of the supposed Nazis in the United States viewed that blog the idea that the other 99750+ views are all trolls is stupid.
1 stylebros 2017-08-20
Nazis are no more of a threat than ISIS to Americans.
but it is a political litmus strip as many in the Nazi party love Donald Trump and Trump wants to talk about the "both sides"
we just seen people get out of their basements and chant Nazi slogans in an American city and the political litmus tape says "the sjw left caused this"
1 BourgeyBastard 2017-08-20
The issue here isn't the nazis. It's the terrorist attack and president's and gop's reaction.
1 charging_bull 2017-08-20
Yeah, but here's the thing: since 2001, you are far more likely in the US to be injured or killed by a Nazi or White Supremacist than you are an Islamic terrorist. Yet we've spent trillions of dollar and sixteen years at war fighting one, and can barely acknowledge the other.
You aren't wrong, but I think people really need to put this in perspective.
1 MyMorningCovfefe 2017-08-20
Sooo, except for that one huge event that was the worst terror attack ever....
You have to realize how retarded that sounds.
1 Takarov 2017-08-20
Why? Because you're anywhere near as likely to be killed in a massive plot like that tomorrow as you are by a vehicular attack or shooting?
1 MyMorningCovfefe 2017-08-20
Hey, don't mind me. You freak out and cower in your home over whatever threat you like.
It's just that the poster's claim that I responded to is 100% ludicrous.
1 Takarov 2017-08-20
What makes you think I'm cowering over anything?
And it's just that it's not ludicrous and I just explained why from a risk assessment perspective. But hey, don't mind me, you can just pretend people's arguments that disagree with you is just people getting emotional. Don't let me stop you.
1 SansDefaultSubs 2017-08-20
How do statistics even work?
1 MyMorningCovfefe 2017-08-20
Idk I'm just a shill.
1 charging_bull 2017-08-20
I mean, that was sixteen years ago. We have to have boundaries for calculation at some point to determine relevant probabilities going forward. I mean, if we extended the statistical sample through the mid-1960's I bet the Vietnamese kill a hell of a lot more Americans per year than Muslims.
1 MyMorningCovfefe 2017-08-20
Ok, so we have to set boundaries that conveniently excuse Muslims, the primary driver of terror attacks worldwide, and paint 'hurr durr muh white christian males' as far more dangerous, which is 100% farcical on its face.
Fuck you.
1 UncleOrville 2017-08-20
What about since September 1, 2001? Does that change the statistics any?

1 UnverifiedAllegation 2017-08-20
whoa sometimes this sub believes islamic extremists committed a terrorist act on 9/11, sometimes they act like its a foregone conclusion that it was george bush's controlled demolition
1 Dr_Cowboy 2017-08-20
That would imply that 9/11 wasn't an inside job.

1 Todos1881 2017-08-20
I don't hate all of muslims and I think the war on terror is bullshit but your statistic is wrong and the news makes it up.
They said there has been more deaths by far right wing extremists. The problem is they don't include deaths like the pulse night club shooting into their statistics. They don't consider that terrorism.
If you include the Pulse nightclub shooting then that one event alone has killed more than "nazis" have in the past few years.
1 Git_Off_Me_Lawn 2017-08-20
You're getting your numbers from an outdated and cherry picked article. I know because I've researched it the last time it came up. It leaves out 9/11 for some strange reason and is also too old to include things like the Pulse shooting.
It's not publicized as much, but do you remember the Bundy standoff? Part of the reason there were very few convictions, especially for the ringleaders, is that the FBI sent more informants to the park than the Bundy's had in their inner circle, and that was just a minor group.
Just because they're not as loud as you want the gov to be doesn't mean that nothing is happening.
1 X_SuperTerrorizer_X 2017-08-20
No, you're dead wrong. Although there have been more White Supremacist attacks in the US, Islamic terrorist attacks have killed significantly more people (9/11 anyone?). White Supremacist attacks (ahem... graffiti) don't usually kill people.
1 xfearbefore 2017-08-20
Jesus Christ do you have the attention span and memory of a gnat?
No. No it fucking isn't. It's been two weeks barely and there have been about a million other false narratives the media has hopped all over a thousand times worse. This is the flavor of the week, are you literally fifteen years old? There will be a new hysteria in two weeks. You truly must be new here.
1 Unholy_VI 2017-08-20
Lets see... They come and go so fast. I think the first one we had was the women that came forward and said Trump Groped them. I know it seems like 10 years ago now.
Those mysteriously vanished from the face of the earth when they were unsuccessful in derailing Trump. Predictable.
Then Trump was a tax cheat. A tax cheat and when they finally DO get a hold of his taxes it'll be impeachment time! And...that fizzled out.
After that it was Russia. The left suddenly hated Russia and now Trump and his friends and family were all Russian agents.
Now, if you can't get rid of Trump painting him as a Russian you get serious and play the only card left in the deck, you call him a Nazi.
Keep in mind this is all within a single year. And every time they've done it the left has bought whatever the attack de jour was hook line and sinker.
I think a lot of people are getting tired of it though. They probably lose a good chunk of people every time they accuse Trump of being something else unbelievably horrifying. Really, Nazi. Where do you go from there? You guys are all in now.
If the white house doesn't fold you have no where left to go. Nothing else to bluff with.
1 professorbooty25 2017-08-20
They're going to circle back to Russia. You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it.
1 xfearbefore 2017-08-20
The fact that you think the Trump grope story was the first "false narrative" of the last decade only proves my point that you have the attention span and memory of a gnat.
And the rest of your post just proves your true agenda for making the original post; you're way more interested on defending Trump and bashing liberals than trying to present any kind of legitimature argument to your asinine as fuck claim. Are you new to the news media? Or the year 2017?
1 Unholy_VI 2017-08-20
I'm just going through the last year. I guess the first one really was the 'hillary leading the polls' story. like i said seems like ages ago.
what shit so called pollsters those were! trying to convince people that everyone was voting hillary so they should too!

Turn off your TV....go outside and enjoy nature, problem solved.
1 MaryLS 2017-08-20
You are absolutely correct. The Nazi narrative is a media construction fueled by leftists. Nazism is not big in the US. But the myth is being used to create social disruption.
1 RogueTaxidermist 2017-08-20
The country isn't in mass hysteria, though. I'm on a cross-country road trip right now and I've been through 31 states in the last three months. I've talked to many different people and most of them are awake and aware that this and the news in general is bullshit. It's not mass hysteria. The MSM is TRYING to make us think there is mass hysteria. But they can only gain power over us if we buy into the shit they sell. That's why my family and I don't watch the news. It's all fuckin trash
1 shredzorz 2017-08-20
I encounter the same thing. But goddam, you should log on to my facebook account. Mass hysteria. Most of these fb "friends" are people I went to college with. It seems like millenial college grads are heavily mind controlled.
1 Afrobean 2017-08-20
op, it wasn't just that there was one person holding a flag, they were chanting neo-nazi memes, some holding KKK shields, some doing nazi salutes. It's not that there was one bad nazi and the rest were OK. They're all pretty much bad.
That said, you're right. A few hundred scumbags can exist in a population of 320 million without those scumbags ruining everything. I never interact with neo-nazis in my everyday life and most of you can probably make this claim too. Because neo-nazis make up something like .000001% of the population. They don't fucking matter, but the media loves pretending like they do.

Well with the rise of comparison of modern america to the fascism of the 1900s, its no wonder they want to do that. After all, imagine if US corporations will get more and more control of the government they will start acting more and more like those of nazi germany. Plus the imigration and artificial devision of the groups in the devide and conquer strat, means they need to artificially differintiate the idea of evil axis power and what they are doing. After all who wants to admit their country is acting like the nazis?

I will say this, as someone in their 40s, there is a lot of fucking hysteria in 2017 on the left and the right.
Millennial SJWs are massively authoritarian, and as a lefty type (who is more libertarian than authoritarian) it really turns me off engaging.

I just don't understand why the won't show one clear video of a plane hitting the pentagon. There were literally hundreds of cameras pointed at that area when it happened. Why won't they show it? Why did they confiscate all the cameras around the pentagon minutes after it got hit? I don't understand. All they would have to do to shut a lot of people up is just release one GOD DAMN clear video of a plane hitting the pentagon. THAT'S IT! As for WTC7, that's an entirely different matter. Fuck man, most people are sheep. Nothing's ever going to change. Unless something drastic happens, we are all most likely fucked for the foreseeable future.

Same tactics used by the democrats in the 2016 campaign, they would infiltrate people in Trump rallies just to get pictures of them wearing a KKK hood or something for a few seconds before they were thrown out.
If there was equal disgust to black supremacy ideology and communist flags as there is for white supremacy ideology and Nazi flag we would be in a much better place.

So I don't know what you're talking about, OP. All it takes is one swastika flag.
Swastikas aren't just scary, they summon demons and spirits. They are far scarier than inverted pentagrams. Not even Satanists use swastikas, that's how demonic swastikas are. Swastikas are the most evil, evil, evil, evil shape in the entire universe of geometric shapes.
Have you ever seen a swastika and slept soundly through the night? No, you haven't. Nobody has.
Anybody hauling out a swastika like that is opening a Pandora's box of demonic national socialist ghosts from 1939, and those are the scariest, most demonic forces the earth has ever known. You don't even want to know what those ghosts did back when they were living. It is unspeakable. I'm not even going to speak of it. And you don't even want to know what national socialism is. I know what it is, but I'm not going to tell you. It is unspeakable.
Most of antifa and BLM are just a bunch of screaming pussies that do nothing. But it was Heather Heyer that manned up had the good sense to be in the middle of the street - simultaneously stopping cars and racism. It is unfortunate that a man possessed by the demonic spirit of literally Hitler rammed his car into the antifa and BLM crowd - but if it wasn't for Heather Heyer putting her body between the car that was rammed and the car ahead of the car that was rammed, certainly more lives would have been lost.
So there is no doubt the man with the swastika flag unleashed the demonic spirit of Hitler, and that spirit invaded James Fields's body. But we can all count our blessings Heather Heyer was there to put her life on the line and stop the demonic forces of national socialism. Too bad she died.
Not only will James Fields get life, but the man with the swastika flag will probably get life too, as he is responsible for unleashing the ancient national socialist demons with his swastika flag.

I don't know much about this topic in the US, but here in Europe, Nazi groups have been arround for a while and no-one gets particularly outraged by them. People simply don't pay attention to them, and therefore these groups are not that popular. The only thing that keeps them alive is Nazi-Antifa conflicts. As long as one of those groups exists, the other will also exist. As an example, you can find many Nazi symbols and Antifa stickers posted in big cities, but nobody pays attention to them. I'm not sure if that's the case as well in the US but instead media gives them a lot of coverage.

The problem is when you put 10 Nazis in front of a thousand peaceful sensible people who happen to disagree with you and use that as an excuse to brand everyone who you disagree with on anything as a Nazi.

1 Unholy_VI 2017-08-20
I'm saying I believe what I believe for reasons I think are valid.
Let me guess...you support abortion. Well, The eugenic crowd (people who believe in weeding out inferior races and other undesirables) love the idea of abortion. They think it's great! Have you changed your mind about abortion?
Sorry, sometimes vile people are going to agree with some point of view you have.
1 thesixth_SpiceGirl 2017-08-20
So what you're saying is just because nazis are vile you're more willing to ignore the fact that they harm your cause far more than they help it just because...actually I'm not sure what you're point is. Obviously people are complex and can share perspectives and opinions. That has nothing to do with anything I said. Just because I agree with a nazi that public parks should be maintained doesn't mean I want any of them to wave swastika flags and chant nazi chants at my community event to clean the park. That's bad optics and distracts from your message, and paints you as a nazi sympathizer. Any sensible person would at the very least move away from the nazis or refuse to march until they were gone. The fact that they didn't at a pro confederate statue rally was really really bad optics and now people are tearing down confederate states left and right. So no, siding with terrible people that people pretty much universally hate isn't excused because they happened to share their beliefs. I stand by what I said which was they should have told them to fuck off.
The GOP should thank their lucky stars you aren't head of the RNC. Not that it would make much of a difference at this point.
1 Unholy_VI 2017-08-20
What I'm saying is if every time conservative want to march or demonstrate for something important to them they cant just let someone bus in a few white supremacists and everyone just goes home becuase they have to virtur signal they aren't a nazi.

If Trump had simply came out and condemned the attacks from the get go, they would not be pushing this narrative so hard. It is directly a response to the normalization and indifference Trump has shown to the "white nationalists, alt/right, etc." that has everyone in the media so riled up about it.
1 Cho-Dai 2017-08-20
Even as a liberal and a Trump hater this whole thing makes my bullshit detector go off. I have listened to some interviews and seen some pictures and videos that do provide a good deal of evidence that AntiFa actually started the violence in Charlottesville. I would never defend any Nazis or white supremacists or their ideologies but at the same time I think AntiFa and the radicalized portions of BLM are fucking disgraceful. I listened to an interview with an innocent bystander lady who was in a resturant right where the shit all went down. She said how they saw a half dozen charter busses pull up outside and BLM and AntiFa people poured off them and immediately started rioting and attacking the white supremacists in the area. She said they were throwing bricks, plastic bottles filled with concrete and condoms and balloons filled with feces. She said that prior to the busses arriving there were black and white people from both sides in the resturant she was in and they were discussing the removal of the statues and were doing it perfectly civilly. As soon as the busses of counter-protesters showed up is when the situation turned violent. She actually thought the AntiFa people were neo-nazis because she had no idea what AntiFa is (and you must admit they certainly look the part). The people from the resturant were evacuated out the back door and an old man who was with his 7 year old great granddaughter got his arm broken by a flying brick. The alley that the resturant patrons were evacuated to was the alley where the death occured. She said they saw the guy in the Charger get told by police that he couldn't get through that way and he said, "I'll get through" and tried it. He hit some people and couldn't get through because of other vehicles blocking the alley. He then tried to back up and hit some more people. The lady said she saw numerous people be injured by the car but also saw a few people slam their hands on the car and lay down on the sidewalk and fake injury. The lady who was relating the story was totally traumatized by the whole incident and she and the other resturant patrons were trying to leave the scene because they wanted no part of it and had kids with them but the police kept them trapped there because they were trying to contain a riot and made no distinction between the rioters and the innocent people who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Her tale sounded pretty horrific and she was crying periodically in the telling of it. I think about if I was in a similar situation as the dude in the car and I have to admit that if I was suddenly set upon by a violent mob who outnumbered me 50-1, I might run a few of them over in my attempt to get the fuck out of there. It sucks that that woman got killed but the reality of it is that she was not a hero. She was not a peaceful protestor. She was part of a violent mob bent on fucking up some Nazis. So as much as I hate Trump, and I think he should have denounced the Nazis immediately because it's a no brainer, he then could have denounced the AntiFa idiots because the actual fact is that THEY started the violence. What Trump said about there being violence on all sides was technically correct even if it did come off like he was supporting the white supremacists. I am becoming increasingly embarrassed by the left because they are resorting to the same tactics of "spin" and "alternative facts" that the right wing dipshits have been using for twenty years. I find it insulting to my intelligence when they do it and I am even more insulted when my own side resorts to the same ridiculous tactics. When Nazis and KKK assholes exercise their rights to free speech and peaceful protests the thing to do is roll your eyes, shake your head and yell "fuck you Nazi shitheads!", not start a violent riot and attack them. I say fuck stupid Nazis and fuck stupid AntiFa as well. People keep saying that you can't equate the recent violence done by radical leftists to all the violence that has been done over the years by Nazis and KKK assholes and I agree. You cannot equate the two... not yet at least, but they are moving in that direction. More violence and disregarding the right to free speech is not going to make anything better.

https://www.facebook.com/mrcharlespatrick/videos/10155595559647512/
This is the interview with the lady who was the eyewitness. It was from r/conspiracy so if you look at that thread it is all about how they think the BLM/AntiFa/KKK/Nazis all came on the same busses and started a riot as a false flag operation but that is not what I think happened. I think the lady just does not know about AntiFa and was mistaking them for neo-Nazis and she was confused by all the chaos and trauma she experienced. There were a few pictures from a twitter that got taken down but I saw them before it happened since I was in that thread from the beginning and they showed BLM and AntiFa people getting off the busses but not any KKK or Nazis so I think the lady was just confused. Since I am a liberal and a skeptic I am usually getting called a shill in that sub just for being a voice of reason but I think they are on to something even though I don't think it was all a false flag concocted entirely by George Soros and the (((joos))). The lady's account of the situation does certainly conflict with the official mainstream narrative. I really don't see how these people on the left think BLM and AntiFa are somehow just benign peaceful protesters. You don't dress up in riot gear to go protest peacefully. All liberals are not gentle, pacifist, snowflake cucks. I know this for a fact since I grew up as an angry punk-rock anarchist kid who has beat the fuck out of my fair share of Nazis. At little punk rock shows I would go to sometimes some Nazi punks would show up and start brandishing their tattoos and sieg-heiling in the pit. There was no security guards so we would stop the show and drag the fuckers outside and beat the shit out of them. I don't feel the least bit bad about it. Stomping a Nazi in the face feels fucking great and I highly recommend it. I have a good friend who spent 18 months in prison for beating a Nazi half to death with a baseball bat. If I were 20 years younger I would probably be right there alongside these AntiFa idiots dressed in black and throwing molotov cocktails with the specific intent to injure or kill some Nazis. I fucking hate Nazis but facts is facts and it sure looks to me like AntiFa started the violence in Charlottesville.

The nazi hysteria is created by the media to try and negatively smear white identitarians from having their views heard by the public. The white nationalists have some legitimate concerns about the anti-white discrimination that they are seeing within society. With the communists/anti-fascists movement being a clear example of the problems white people face, with their anti-white sentiment and hate for white history and the white establishment (trump).
The jews have encouraged a narrative since ww2 that white nationalism is the evil racism that must be defeated in the world. When in reality, white nationalism is a reaction to anti-white communism. Similar types of anti-white people as anti-fifi murdered 30 million white russians, including the monarchy about 100 years ago, not very long ago. So when white men try and get together to speak about this existential threat to white culture and heritage, it at the least deserves the right to be heard without being attacked and being labelled genocidal maniacs.
1 vanulovesyou 2017-08-20
It's a bit disingenious to think that the swastika is the only Nazi (or fascist) symbol or iconology.
First of all, hundreds of the white nationalists were chanting "blood and soil," a literal Nazi slogan, the night before the main events the next day, so we aren't talking about just Nazi swatika flags here. Second of all, many different fascist symbols (the fasces is popular among white nationalists) were present on the flags and shields of the white nationalists, including the National Socialist Movement, which shows the use of the Othala or Odal rune instead of the swastika by some Nazis to avoid the negative connotations of the swastika.
Of course, many white nationalists still prefer to use the Confederate battle flag as their white nationalist symbol of choice.
BTW, the NSM or National Socialist Movement flags were all over the place at the rally, so, yes, the Nazis had a strong presence there. The problem is that most people don't know what to look for when they see these images.
You can see a lot of the above in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GzXY902hbo
As it is, fascists from all over the world use different iconography than just the swastika as well.
That isn't true. Did you even try to do any research on the groups that were present there, or watch any interviews with any of the organizers? Because you seem ill-equipped to make a judgement on the white nationalist groups that comprised the Unite the Right rally.
You don't seem to understand the reality that was on the ground in Charlottesville, and I feel as if you are doing spreading disinformation here to deflect away from events that happened in Charlottesville.

Oh, what vicious hatred! White people deserve the same self-determination as we encourage and enthusiastically cheer for literally other ethnicity? Those evil bastards!

1 klondike1412 2017-08-20
Yes, American history is filled with a long line of racists, eugenicists, slave-owners, those who committed genocide against natives, and some "traitors". Basically all of their statues are dedicated to people who were flawed in some way. That's the way history works, trying to erase it doesn't help you overcome it.
America is a mix of cultures, hence I don't believe "white people" are any sort of a collective group (they are many totally different subcultures) and any arguments trying to lump white people together is usually either trying to declare them all evil or all superior (good ol' American eugenics theory). So naturally, when the notion that they are all evil gains a lot of support, many will disagree and over-react and start thinking they're all superior instead. It's two sides of the same coin, and that terrible coin is the idea of treating "white" like it means anything. Whether you're calling "white" good or bad.

I've been organizing against fascism before the news picked it up.

This is why people think conspiracy theorists are stupid.

Wrong.
I am skeptical, not sure how that huffpo article or video actually implicates O'keefe though.
It also doesn't make it false that Bob Creamer, a top democrat official who visited the whitehouse on the reg, was on under cover video talking about plans to incite violence at political rallyd.

As if that's the only thing that makes this interesting.

The video linked shows exactly how they do it, you show up and ask misleading questions and then ask them to repeat the points you said. This is why none of the things that these fake videos say will happen actually happen. No one was selling baby parts, no one was planning riots, no one was voting illegally.

Wrong.

I don't hate all of muslims and I think the war on terror is bullshit but your statistic is wrong and the news makes it up.
They said there has been more deaths by far right wing extremists. The problem is they don't include deaths like the pulse night club shooting into their statistics. They don't consider that terrorism.
If you include the Pulse nightclub shooting then that one event alone has killed more than "nazis" have in the past few years.

You're getting your numbers from an outdated and cherry picked article. I know because I've researched it the last time it came up. It leaves out 9/11 for some strange reason and is also too old to include things like the Pulse shooting.
It's not publicized as much, but do you remember the Bundy standoff? Part of the reason there were very few convictions, especially for the ringleaders, is that the FBI sent more informants to the park than the Bundy's had in their inner circle, and that was just a minor group.
Just because they're not as loud as you want the gov to be doesn't mean that nothing is happening.

I'm saying I believe what I believe for reasons I think are valid.
Let me guess...you support abortion. Well, The eugenic crowd (people who believe in weeding out inferior races and other undesirables) love the idea of abortion. They think it's great! Have you changed your mind about abortion?
Sorry, sometimes vile people are going to agree with some point of view you have.

What I'm saying is if every time conservative want to march or demonstrate for something important to them they cant just let someone bus in a few white supremacists and everyone just goes home becuase they have to virtur signal they aren't a nazi.
take your same logic and apply it to your own side and see if you still think it makes sense.

If you don't want to argue the semantics then why are you in this thread? That's what it's about.
1 X_SuperTerrorizer_X 2017-08-20
No, you're dead wrong. Although there have been more White Supremacist attacks in the US, Islamic terrorist attacks have killed significantly more people (9/11 anyone?). White Supremacist attacks (ahem... graffiti) don't usually kill people.

you think that was an act of terrorism?
