Immigrants are the backbone and lifeblood of America.
Nazis are the opposite and offer nothing but bile and self-loathing.
They're the leukemia poisoning the marrow.
I mean, Nazis are good for kindling, right?
Eh....I really wouldn't want to smell all that fat.
They are good guillotine tests.
BLOOD FOR THE TREE OF LIBERTY!
SKULLS FOR THE NATO BASE FOUNDATIONS!
KILL KILL KILL!
With their lack of melanin they do tend to burn easily.
members of the group pointed guns at cars and told people to “go the fuck back to Africa”
Wow, way to highlight that you are a completely ignorant douchebag
why, it's easy: "Not white, not Chinese then Africa!"
"Charitably", I assume because they're massive racists that they're referring to the West and Central African origins of Haitians as an ethnic group and not confusing where Haiti is, but Nazis still deserve to be jailed over their disgusting ideology regardless of if they know what continent Haiti is on.
You know what Nazis bring to your town? Garbage. I don't know why this is difficult. The Nazi symbol should be banned from all public use and Nazis should be arrested and held as enemies of the state.
enemies of the state
Arresting enemies of the state?
Well, the Nazis would certainly agree with that.
You're assuming they want to apply rules consistently and fairly. When the out-group is them, they'll whine about freeze peach until we tolerate their intolerance.
The Problem is that we shift the talking point from "we shouldn't arrest people for their political opinion" to "which political opinion should we arrest" which is exactly what the Nazis want
No they don't, this has been discussed to death and you are very wrong.
Fascism is not just another political opinion that involves genocide. It is a genocide threat that involves voting. If you're going to make a credible threat, expect physical defense.
If you're actually serious, please take a moment to consider that you are spreading Nazi propaganda.
Lovely concept, but that's not how it works. If we imprison Nazis for their opinion being "against the state" it's a short way from imprisoning communists. Afterall, communists killed more people than fascists, so we should also arrest them. Starting to see how this in the Nazis interest?
Them we get to the debate to be about "violent" immigrants or "vile" [insert enemy nationality]. Why should immigrants and enemies get better treatment than our own people? So they go as well.
I'll just leave this here: https://martin-niemoeller-stiftung.de/martin-niemoeller/als-die-nazis-die-kommunisten-holten
Don't be stupid: Don't normalize prosecuting political opponents. All it takes then is for them to get 1(one) election and the oppression will simply change to you. And then it's game over.
Instead build a societal agreement that political prosecution and other fascist methods are bad. So that when the fascists try to employ them, the population won't simply play along.
Yes, I assume all sovereign nations have laws against enemies of the state. Ours are specified in the constitution. The sentencing is laid out in or laws as well. Existing as a NAZI doesn't qualify, but acting as a NAZI very well might qualify you depending on the acts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_terrorism
Stochastic terrorism is political violence that has been instigated by hostile public rhetoric which is directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence.[1] A key element is the use of social media and other distributed forms of communications where the person who carries out the violence has no direct connection to the users of violent rhetoric.[2]
This isn't stochastic terrorism. This is just terrorism. They are trying to terrorize the Haitians into leaving Springfield:
In December, a Springfield man was sentenced to 20 years in federal jail for hate crimes after attacking eight Haitians earlier in 2023. Last year, the local Haitian church was broken into and damaged twice. Longtime Black residents of Springfield have reported being verbally abused when walking on the city’s streets, having been confused with members of the Haitian community.
The stochastic terrorism is the wild claims infrahumanising certain groups on social media. Then someone decides to act on those claims, and the people who posted them say "I had no idea that would happen".
Rinse and repeat until you've made the world worse, then die with lots of money.
Right, but we're at the acting stage now. It's now just straight up terrorism.
