Members of white supremacist and antisemitic hate groups marched outside Orlando, Florida, on Saturday screaming invectives, raising the Nazi salute, and yelling “Heil Hitler” and “white power.”

“We are everywhere!” neo-Nazis can be heard shouting in a video shared by former Florida House of Representatives member Anna V. Eskamani. Later in the footage, they yelled, “Heil Hitler” while performing a Nazi salute.

    “We are everywhere” -> “literally dozens of us”

    Any time a loser wants to feel like less of a loser they need only look at this loser and realize that they are, comparatively speaking, not a loser at all

      Not defending the nazi loser, and I know it’s uncomfortable to admit, but he’s not wrong, they are everywhere - in the police and other agencies, working in prisons, in the “justice” system, in government…
      They’re not all as loud as him, but if you think they’re not in and around every point of power in society, you haven’t been paying attention.

        That’s also the troublesome bit of WW2 history the books* don’t show so much, the reich had a lot of support in America, Henry Ford and Walt Disney being notable leaders. Our history is packed full of racist and authoritarian shit of all flavors.

        Still though, we rallied and put enough lead downrange to make them stop last time, as a white dude, my type need to be doing more to shame and turn out these roaches to be stomped out for good this time. Enough is enough and eugenics never ends well for anyone. Trek showed us how to be better, just gotta bulldoze this two tone chucklefuck first

        *the average school curriculum, several books have been published detailing the rich history of almost but not quite overt support of the rich to the other rich/potentially useful to get more rich

          Our history is packed full of racist and authoritarian shit of all flavors.

          Watching movies like Mississippi Burning as a South African teenager it was astonishing to realise that the USA was easily at or over the line we were at. It’s just that our government made it officially systemic.

            The US has been trying its best to put a good face on for the rest of the world, but it’s been a clusterfuck of waring political factions since forever. Some of those factions happen to be very dangerous.

        Sorry, didn’t mean to downplay that; my point is more that if you’re a gigantic loser and you have to get up and yell about how there are actually lots of other gigantic losers just like you, that’s not exactly coming from a position of strength.

        (but yes, the classic Onion article on the subject of Nazi cops is not inaccurate)

          It is though - he’s empowered and encouraged to do it by the system, he literally has the full power of the state behind him.

          Shouldn’t be since it’s literally “us vs the whole other human race”, but the dog whistles from our politicians and media (mostly funded by a few select rich folk) have shifted down into normal human hearing range lately and now they’re just shouting stochastic terrorism from the highest platform they can find.

          Rosa Parks with a rifle scares the shit out of them all

          *in your racist coloniser opinion

          Making you personally uncomfortable doesn’t make something wrong.

          It’s also incredible that you managed to get through that article (x doubt) without learning a single thing from it other than to defend your own feelings (actively being part of the “water”). That takes some real effort.

        I was jogging between Queens and Brooklyn a few years back. Two assholes, shirtless and with shaved heads, didn’t move out of the way and took up the full width of the bridge. Only when I got within a few feet did I see that at least one had tattoos all over, including a swatzika over his heart. I felt sick. Both my grandparents fought overseas in World War 2 and now here we are, with idiots in our own country emboldened by the GOP and Trump.

      Lol. No they won’t. It will just confirm their world view. They will see it as persecution because they know the truth. And they will find another way to make a living. One that doesn’t rely on the opinions of the public and doesn’t care for its own image.

        While this will inevitably lead to claims that the Jews who run the world are just seeking retribution, it’s still exactly the right thing to do.

      They’re happy to copy the genocide and goose-stepping, but skip right over that bit.

      If you were real Nazis - actual champions of the white race, you’d do a better job of following Hitler’s example. Finish the job, you fucking posers.

    Here they go again with the silent majority bullshit.

    They still can’t wrap their heads around the fact that they are a tiny minority.

      If the people supposedly in charge of preventing these kinds of threats were actually looking to stop white supremacists, these people wouldn’t have gotten to the point they did.
      I guarantee if they were BLM or generally leftist group they would have been arrested and beaten if not killed (if they even got to the point of protesting in public, and not stopped based on online activity, which these nazis absolutely will all have), not let to spew hate speech and get home in time for dinner.
      Never forget - some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses. And even those that don’t actively, serve the state, that doesn’t actually mind white supremacists because they serve it, and the capitalism it works for, well.

    That clip with Laura Loomer and then saying they don’t support trump reminded me of the South Park episode where KKK were supporting the opposite side, because they knew people wouldn’t associate with them.

    I understand people in other states saying " try that shit here", but I live in Kissimmee, and one thing that is known here is that damn near everyone and their grandma (literally) carries a concealed weapon (especially since laws here changed). I’m sure these idiots did, and it would’ve been a bad situation.
