Heck, these neo-nazis don't even commit that many actual crimes in the grand scale, the only reason they get so much attention is because of their cartoonish motivations and the media sensation they provide. Consider that their goals are woefully unrealistic and unachievable through either democratic or revolutionary means, as the majority of voters today will never possibly agree to straight-up unfettered natsoc ideals and the circumstances aren't right at all for any kind of revolution to happen. And they don't have the power to forcibly enact their ideals either. We're talking about a bunch of internet tough guys around 20 years old who got brainwashed on the internet. Most of them only wish they could handle themselves in a fight. Even the tough guy skinhead figurehead who appeared in the VICE documentary earlier on got
reduced to a pile of blubber and tears after the world came crashing down around him with a frightening efficiency.
The only thing they're doing in their protests is yelling at clouds, as nothing they want to see changed will realistically happen in the foreseeable future. If they were to get violent en masse the police would crack them down HARD, but since they are largely unorganized most attacks are carried out by loners or not at all. The actual threat they pose is minimal, or at least would be if people didn't spend so much effort into stating the obvious by saying we should be disgusted by them through huge massive protests, when that effort could have also been spent on organizing people against actual evils which are not so obvious. The white supremacist movement does create a large amount of brainwashed subjects, though most hypnotism manuals I've read don't mention ostracization and humiliation as viable cures. The only kind of people who do the latter are those with no patience and willpower left and are probably creditfeeders as well.
What frightens me about this the most is the outright dehumanization involved which acts as fuel for these counter-protests. The formalization of the idea that 'anything goes' against people who disrespect everything you hold dear is bound to set a dangerous precedent for the future which can backfire in many ways like
this where people justify their actions with the idea that the others
are elves because they do the same anyways. Literally JRPG villain-tier.
Any society functions by drawing a line between what's acceptable or not, but enforcing those standards with an unwavering absolutism has a tendency for that same absolutism to be replicated in many other ugly ways.
They're the ones who crossed the line in these recent years by enough miles to say it's time again to fight back and seriously so. The nazi started from scratch after all, why wait? I admire your confidence that it won't happen again. Democracy, freedom don't automatically magically freeze the wave before it crashes on us and all is lost and fucking millions of people die. Either we choose our camp and fight or we accept to get buttfucked by nazis, commies, and religious fanatics, then all people like ethnic~religious minorities, sexual, political and economic hop on the trains to camps! yeppee!
Really there's no talking this out with these people, you may think they're just harmless idiots, I don't. The level of insult they represent is already doing tons of damage, that trumputin campaign gave them an immense boost everywhere and not just in America and Europe, the internet's flooded with their mad rhetoric and it spreads, keeps spreading and will likely continue to do so if we don't do shit.
I'm especially disgusted to go to my favourite place on the interwebs and see they're fucking here, teenage-brained manchildren would-be aryan christian terminator-intellectuals, holding youtube science truth, crybabies unable to deal with society, humanity and its many differences and challenges, they measure skulls, vomit their hypocrite troll shit and conspiracy lies, the civil language doesn't hide that they're lashing out raging on everything their tiny brains are frustrated with and wishing people they deem inferior beings will suffer, and it's
fun to torment them, for the psychos they are.
The most immense joke is that they invoke freedom all the time. Yeah, the same freedom ISIS, commies or any kind of promoters of criminal authoritarian regimes claim the loudest.
And then, well, it's a beautiful day and you're here loging-in in a good mood, devising games and machines whatever, and bam they're also here posting, and you know minutes ago X or Y guy was posting racist and bat shit stuff over here in this thread that's impossible to miss and ignore, or other threads in the past that have been in the same vein. You thought you were in good company but it's like
don't worry, be nazi is playing in the background whevener you visit, and it's louder every time.
Fucking hell, and so many of them are US and Brits, what a fucking joke, my grandparents all fought the nazis along with their troops, the main countries that liberated mine, practically all the jews I've met had family dying in the camps, practically all arab muslims here have become introverted in fear and anger not trusting anyone not arab because all the shit that's happened and the looks they're given, some begin to learn arabian even though their families have been there for several generations, french communities especially video-gaming ones are hyper-flooded with alt-right toxic shit, our politics have been contaminated with the same crass topics and rhetoric that've been polluting the US, people in real life can barely talk about anything without getting in an argument, and shit and so on ever dividing our society and peace...so lol NO, I have no tolerance, no pardon, and I don't talk normally to nazi and kkk apologists, racist theorists, holocaust deniers, jew conspiracy tinfoil gurus, all-muslims=terrorists warmongers, lgbt-bashers, or whatever hypocrites leaning towards their ideas and finding excuses for them refusing to call a spade a spade.
So yeah, denying them the 'freedom' to push the same ideas as the nazis is definitely the right thing to do. Germany forbids them to carry any nazi signs and flags, chant nazi slogans and rally at what they consider nazi memorial sites,
that's the least we can do. Spreading racial hate is forbidden in most of Europe, it's a crime, and that's good, we protect people from such nasty shit so it doesn't come back and make Europe a living hell again,
that's freedom!
I totally agree we have way more important struggles where to put our energy into, but that wave of nazi-and-alike resurgence creeping on us by every unprotected/unattended crevice and hole is definitely no trivial matter, if anything just the fact that they're (willingly so) being used by foreign powers to destabilize many societies and governements is a huge concern.
Going back to the topic of my personal ass more specifically, because it requires clarification, you can say I dehumanize myself by also crossing the line, yes, but you know despite all the shit the many idiots called me like liberal-jew-faggot-dogooder-antifa-globalist whatever the list is long and hilarious, I've never claimed to be a nice guy, never attempted to fake one either.
I, would personally napalm bomb them, sure, but I wouldn't sneak in an internet community playing the civil (in language only) propagandist/proselyte to encourage other members to think of doing the actual shit while pretending I would'nt. We have enough examples of complete obvious racist/nazis here who hilariously keep pretending they aren't taking us for idiots, relentlessly bullshiting and trolling the farm. They're evil, I'm just bad.
Joke aside I wouldn't do it, but only because I know I wouldn't enjoy prison. :p
[additional rant. because.]
I'm an individualist anyway; in my world you can have the religion you want but not force it on others nor kill in its name, you can wish for the political socio-economic model you want but not those based on excluding and oppressing others because of their race/gender/religion etc, you can fuck whoever you want as long as it's consensual and legal your sexual life is your business keep it to yourself, you can be as rich as you can achieve as long as you treat and pay decently the workforce you exploit and accept you'll have to share a portion of your wealth with society, if you're poor you can receive a vital minimum welfare as long as you show that you do everything you can to get out of your misery, you can do wtf you want with your property as long as you don't ruin your neighbour's peace, hell you can even have guns as long as you don't walk everywhere in town with them loaded and that you're properly licensed and thouroughly checked by the authorities including medical, etc etc.
This is what a mature civilized society in a healthy democratic country should strive for, strive because it's never easy to maintain and never properly balanced, it's frustrating, problems pile up without end and you'll be wanting to punch people in the face very often, but it's always better a perspective than giving in to the ideas born from the lame-ass diapers-reeking minds of angry SJW and nazi snowflake emos and religious nutjobs who only think of themselves and want others to suffer and disappear to satisfy their narrow-mindedness and egotism. Their idea of freedom is taking it away from others, just like the SJW and commies they hate so much lol.
Also to make it clear again to the random guy who thinks himself a conservative yet mostly approves of the alt-right ideas and rhetoric: no, if you're like those salty asshole kids, you're not a conservative, real conservatives want to protect things they consider good and should not change or be replaced by something different, it's a form of love, but at the same time they value individual freedom immensely and would never claim it's good and rational to rip their rights and freedom off people just because of their race and religion or whatever, they'd demand to respect some limitations, maybe sometimes quite strict, but never ever fall so low as ebracing the fucking absurd and perverse definition of a 'free' society of the far/alt-right, supremacists neo nazi scum.
