Well, nazi riots and imminent nuclear disaster within a year? I wish I had put a tenner on this as soon as trump won the election.

These are just the small rumblings at the start.

If collectivism and Identity politics isn't stopped, It's gonna get much, much worse.

You do know that if you call everyone who doesn't agree with you a bigot, then there's going to be bigots everywhere? Because everywhere in life, you will find people that don't agree with you.

Yeah, the chances of anyone being able to do such a truly pathetic job of running the US seemed so unlikely it would have seemed like wasted money but Tump really has surprised even those who knew what an inept loser he was but at least expected him to give the job his all. Perhaps he did and ''his all'' is just really very little indeed.
Only to be expected from a fellonous coward and habitual draft dodger who makes fun of the disabled, lusts after his own daughter and boasts about his 'celebrity' giving him the right to sexually assault women! With all the evidence that's out there people really should have known what to expect from this disgraceful creature.

I have no problem calling Nazis bigots.

It doesn't really achieve anything though does it? apart from make you feel a little bit better about yourself.

The problem you should be thinking about is, why have they been gaining ground in the past 10+ years? What is the root cause?

Is this the bit where you blame everything on political correctness?

I disagree with the bit in bold, I dont think they ever went away and one of the things that has stunned me about the driver was the fact that he was only twenty. Ten years ago what could he have possibly known about these issues?

Ah, is this the part when you try to place blame for right wing terrorism on the left? Typical.

Anything to avoid calling a spade a spade.

Nah, I wouldn't say Political correctness is the root. I'd say collectivism is. Political correctness is just a symptom of that.

The internet, it let small minded bigots find other small minded bigots, and then allowed them to build a little echo chamber to fool themselves into thinking they're right.

I still don't understand why people like to blame Leftists for Ultra Far-Right Nazi violence. Blame the ****ing Nazis.

Do you mean Leftists like antifa? Who are aggressive and destructive and act just like fascists, yet insist that it's patriots who are the fascists?

Who exactly are these 'patriots' ? They're ****ing far-right Nazi scum!!! Nothing 'patriotic' about that. :shrug:

You shouldn't fight for a cause, by doing the same thing you're fighting against.

I agree. This is a common thread with many of the Leftist groups. Feminists for example scream about white male 'rape culture' yet never say a word about the real rape culture, which is islam, where women can be beaten just for refusing sex with their husbands. Or little girls having their genitals mutilated. Yet these are two huge crimes against women.
As for antifa, the biggest hypocrites ever, who go around calling patriots nazi's and fascists. They are the biggest fascists going. At many of the rallies, THEY are the ones with weapons, who start violence first and cause chaos wherever they go.

No. I mean patriots like myself, who care about my country. Who want the best for it. I have never and will never advocate violence towards anyone. Can Leftist groups like BLM and antifa say the same?

Scarlett. 14-08-2017 05:51 AM

So much Whataboutism taking place in this thread. A Nazi drives into a crowd of people, injuring dozens of people and killing one. Yet all I'm seeing is "What about Antifa" "What about BLM" "What about Obama"

What about the fact that somehow people are equating Nazism with patriotism?

I honestly don't understand this response. A car crashed into people, and the only response white wing posters can be bothered with is is "WHAT ABOUT BLM DOE, SOME OF THEM DO VIOLENCE" Yes, some do, however, it was a white supremacist who commited a terror attack yestereday, in an American town, against non-violent protesters. Yes, we know that posters on here aren't Nazis, but we expect you to have some what of a normal human response to the murder of an innocent woman who was protesting against White Supremacists. I mean its a no ****ing brainer for ****s sake.

The USA has had a problem with empowered extremists for decades. Its not a new phenomena. Its a bi-product of having free speech, and the means to commit atrocities with the click of a finger.

Of course Nazi extremism should be outlawed, it shouldn't even be up for debate, and really, why are people getting upset with Trump. He was voted in by the American people as the "best" option for the job. It is what it is. If people don't like his performance he will be booted out come the next election if not before. Maybe next time they will get half decent candidates to represent them.

Its all about power shift. We've seen these creatures before in Greece and Rome, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, fascist Italy and former Yugoslavia. This is exactly what happened to old societies and its happening to us now.

As for the U.S, racist, violent and despotic forces have always been a part of the American landscape. Throughout American history, we've seen such people tolerated and even empowered by the state to persecute. What we are witnessing and the reason this mould is growing is because of the recent power shift. When democratic institutions cease to function, when the consent of the government becomes a joke, despots fill the political void.

Its nothing to do with free speech! These white supremacists are enemies of democracy.... Scavenges without inhibition.

Agree with this post, especially the bit in bold. All extremists should be outlawed.

Tom4784 14-08-2017 11:49 AM

It says a lot when people are more concerned with the use of the word 'bigot' and if it applies to the nazi terrorist in question then they are with the fact that they've murdered someone.
