Oh you can definitely punch Nazis in the face nowadays. Highly recommend.

[-] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 34 points 1 year ago

Obligatory

(I hope embedding this gif works)

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 year ago

Brown shirts?

What are those?

[-] PeachyMcPeachface 45 points 1 year ago

Fascists. An alt definition is more specifically nazi and/or racist.

[-] rumschlumpel 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So you were born in time to punch Nazis in the face?

[-] PeachyMcPeachface 7 points 1 year ago

The US is still full of them, yes. I included the alt definition because I'm a little confused by the premise of the meme. It reads "born too late to punch nazis, born too early to punch terminators, born just in time to punch nazis".

[-] rumschlumpel 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, I seem to have confused the moderator tag with an "OP" tag, for some reason.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Basically party thugs. Go around harassing people

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ah ok? Is that specific to a region? I never heard of this.

Edit: I meant region, not reason. Autocorrect.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Kinda. It’s a reference to the SA. It’s become a shorthand for fascist paramilitaries that haven’t seized power, so like one could call the proud boys brownshirts.

But it’s regional because they only wore brown in Germany. Italy had the blackshirts and Americans wore silver.

[-] KAYDUBELL@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yes and no. Read some WWII history

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Other users were kind enough to point out that they are a Nazi group. That's all I needed to know.

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

i read twice and still though "region" was "religion"

[-] Norgur@fedia.io 14 points 1 year ago

"punch Nazis in the face"? You know they were armed, bro?

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

So were the anti fascists.

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

and that's why we need something more permanent than a fist!

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

Anti-fascists get tougher with every year Hitler is dead. You can't imagine what life under terror is like. Luckily, me neither, but I'm not under the illusion I'd be some kind of hero when I and by extension my whole family were threatened by torture and death.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

You can’t imagine what life under terror is like.

You say that like someone who isn't already an Atlantan intimidated into inaction by the persecution of Stop Cop City protestors, up to and including police murdering them.

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, well, I don't live in the US. But you're proving my point exactly.

[-] Norgur@fedia.io 6 points 1 year ago

Yes, but to put it frankly: They got fucked up. In the most permanent sense possible.

Reminder:

Steve Buscemi is not a Brown Shirt.

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

My buddy Eric could’ve really used this reminder yesterday.
