Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Do the world a favor and punch your local Nazi.

As you can see in the photo they have the police protecting them

They're one and the same

I can't, he never leaves his boomer McMansion except to fix his Biden sucks sign.

And reinforce their cult of violence?

The department said it made its finding based on the group’s history of violence rooted in “its openly racist, anti-immigrant, antisemitic, anti-LGBTQI+ platform”. The United States remains deeply concerned about the racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist threat worldwide and is committed to countering the transnational components of violent white supremacy,” a department statement said.

Yeah. Good job dealing with Nordic Nazis, government, now please also take care of the American ones.

Okay, so usually I feel like "Nazi" is a bit overused for racist groups -- and this is just "neo-Nazi" -- but these guys even self-identify as Nazis:

The website is the result of many hours of work spent by devoted activists and sympathizers of what is probably the largest and most successful explicitly National Socialist organization in the world.

Don't think Godwin's law applies when they proudly wear the label.

Does this mean they’ll soon get CIA support?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Nah, no oil there.

Assuming all of these are pseudonyms for Varg

Idiots with nothing better to do.

I know white supremacists are fucking stupid, but you'd think they'd at least be smart enough to not need clip-on kiddie-sized ties.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Considering the Nazis I've met over the years, I'd say most of them are barely bright enough to tie their shoes, let alone a tie.

In general, if you think your skin tone has something to do with your superiority, you're not all that bright.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't know, I think that makes sense personally. I think a good portion of them are actually struggling with feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness, or at least did at some point. When you're feeling like that, and you have no skills or intellect, you'll take any lifeboat out, even if the only thing making you different is your skin color. At that point, the only thing I have, my skin color, makes me better than everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

And I would argue that if those are your circumstances, thinking you're better than everyone else is not very bright.

Why are these racist retards all dressed like they work at Cheesecake Factory?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I have some bad news for you about The Cheesecake Factory....

I just got an idea for a new conspiracy theory...

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The United States on Friday designated a Scandinavian neo-Nazi group and three of its leaders as terrorists, saying the Nordic Resistance Movement poses a threat to Americans.

NMR, known by its Swedish acronym, is the largest neo-Nazi group in Sweden and has branches in Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland, where it has been banned since 2020.

The state department added the movement and the leaders to its Specially Designated Global Terrorist list, meaning that any US-based assets will be frozen and they will be blocked from using the US financial system.

The leaders being blacklisted, all Swedes, were the group’s chief, Fredrik Vejdeland, and two other senior figures, Pär Öberg and Leif Robert Eklund.

Founded in 1997 in Sweden as the Swedish Resistance Movement, the group saw sister organizations spring up in other Nordic countries until they were united under NMR in 2016.

After taking office in 2021, Joe Biden’s administration laid out a strategy to counter domestic terrorism that included identifying foreign groups that provide support.

Why are the police protecting them? Throw them to the wolves, and let's see if they stay confident enough to do their marches after getting pummeled.

I guess we can safely say they're state sponsored.
