Please stop trying to rationalize with them. Please stop tolerating their hate. These people don't care about logic or morality. The guy in the photo at the Nazi rally with the tatted face and meth teeth blames his problems on Jews. They only understand power. That's all they know. That's the only way they'll be stopped.

With that said, can some of y'all come down here to Florida? We've got a Nazi problem that's getting out of control and can use some support. They've been here this whole time in hiding, but since the government has recently been tolerant of their intolerance, they're coming out in pride. They're cowards that blame their own issues on vulnerable people. They don't blame their problems on dominant peoples or cultures in power, just the minorities. So, with enough show of strength, they'll go back into hiding or move away to Argentina.

Look at their little insurrection attempt. One Capitol officer misled them due to their lack of organization, and another officer fired one round. All it took was a distraction to jack up their plans and one shot for them to tuck tail and run. A coup failed due to a deception and one bullet.

Imagine if the real Nazis would have been stopped before they built their war machine. That's where we're at right now. Things can get soooo much worse if we allow them time to gain more power.

I don't mean to be negative but what can other people do? I feel like it'll be difficult to motivate the average non-racist to move to a place where they might have worse job prospects, get ostracized for their political/social views, and get both harassed and potentially arrested/killed by the police for trying to protest against racism.

I used to love Florida, but it's doomed. Between climate change and fascism we just need to write off the state entirely and build a wall along the Georgia border. Best we can do is try to control the insanity and let those who have decided to stay down there burn themselves out. Better for you to get out than for us to come down.

Sorry to say but I've made it clear to even my employer that Florida is a no go for me. To the point where I will seek out flights that do not have layovers there if it comes to that. Being trans and having the use of bathrooms outlawed forces my hand. A ton of industry conferences are leaving the state as soon as their contracts are up.

[-] dirtypirate@kbin.social 63 points 1 year ago

Apparently the nazi party doesn't provide dental care.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 29 points 1 year ago

Didn't you hear? The master race has such powerful gums they don't need teeth.

[-] Dee@lemmings.world 25 points 1 year ago

Lotta meth in the Nazi party, looks like a bit of meth mouth and a side of tobacco dipping to me.

[-] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I live in Portland. That shit ain't fun. This place was and remains a magnet for chud mouthbreathers to try to start shit

People are always like ANtiFa and NaZis are the SaMe! Violence solves nothing!

Guess what got those assholes to stop coming into my city en masse to menace residents? Getting confronted and not being allowed to run roughshod all over the place. People fought them and doxxed those fuckers to their employers and families. There hasn't been a notable right wing rally here in at least 2 years.

Nazis and their ilk are by nature cowards. Thinking it'll blow over if you ignore them does not work and emboldens them

We need to get back into the habit of beating the shit out of Nazis

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 39 points 1 year ago

The #fascist #DeSantis isn't going to yell at his voters.

This is what he wants.

[-] TheJims@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Good thing for him there aren’t any Jewish voters in Florida 🤣

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 year ago

That dude is so white power, he tattooed himself almost completely black lmao

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

He just wanted to make sure people knew he was a bigoted dumbass from a distance.

[-] jopepa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

From a distance you think is the bigoted dumbass seriously walking around in blackface? If you’re unfortunate enough to get closer the context changes but the message remains the same, bigoted dumbass.

[-] PlatypusXray@feddit.de 27 points 1 year ago

In Nazi Germany, the guy in the picture would have been put in a camp before he could even raise his arm.

Just the Disney pullout of their Orlando corporate campus has lost the state a billion in taxable spending. Add to that the cancellation of multiple large conventions and the elimination of consideration for future conventions. Thousands of other businesses, organizations and tourists are cancelling trips and avoiding Florida and this is going to add up to an enormous sum that the state will never recover.

Lots of conservatives may be fascists, but I'd be willing to bet their attachment to their own economic comfort is stronger than their ideology. IMO Florida's had enough of DeSantis and he is going to soon join Scott Walker in political oblivion.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago

Also, the military will likely remove bases there and will not expand existing ones or build new ones. They're doing so much damage to the state, yet the voters can't see it somehow.

[-] clutch@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Voters are schmucks unfortunately and a sizable portion won't be alive to see the consequences.

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

Insurance companies pulling out too.

[-] Rawdogg@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

Are these american nazis aware their grandads killed nazis? I've always found it bizarre they fell down that rabbit hole.

[-] Eezyville@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

There was a Nazi party here in the US and a lot of people admired Hitler when he was rebuilding Germany. There were even some members of the press that expressed admiration when they covered the reforms he did.

Privilege can let you get away with a lot of things. There were concentration camps for Japanese-American citizens but none for German or Italian. For the Italians they were asked to persuade their extended families in Italy to stop fighting against us. I'm not sure what was asked for the Germans. My source is from documentaries I've seen (I really like this one).

[-] GreatGrapeApe@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

There was widespread racism directed at Italian Americans that ran for decades. My grandmother's mortgage from 1955 had language referring to Italian America quotas that needed to be referenced so they were not exceeded. That meant the town had to sign off on Italian Americans buying the home.

German is the most common ancestry in America which is likely why we did nothing about German Americans.

These goons are barely aware of anything beyond their narrow views.

Becomes? lol

[-] vrojak@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

The guy in the picture definitely wouldn't be among the first to be killed by the original Nazi Party. Absolute master race material right there.

white supremacists from as far as Canada

Summoned by intracontinental ballistic dog whistles

[-] giantfloppycock@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

lmfao “Scotty Big Balls” and “Combat Carl”. These guys are complete shitbags but at least I can laugh at their nicknames.

[-] ShooBoo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

They go where nobody is going to give them any resistance. Try come doing that shit in my neighborhood and see how it goes. We all know what we have to do to stop them. The sooner we stop bitching and whining about it and start doing it the better off we will be.

[-] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It high time we started scalping these Nazis

Florida is becoming a dystopian charter school.

Good. It’s going to be the first place to drown.

[-] Hiuhokiguess@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

The lead pipes I’m sure are only helping the problem.

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

My god, rollingstone's site is cancer.
