    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

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

      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).
