If you break a Nazi's arm he has 50 percent less arms to do Nazi shit with.

If only they'd applied the lesson more thoroughly.

The 1911 is still the preferred method, be sure to clean and oil it regularly.

Killing creates killing but apparently exit programs do work

Definitely. The study wasnt entirely ethical, but the data from Dresden shows pretty clearly.

I think this is better presented as:

"Oh wait you are FOR fascism?"

"No I'm just against antifa."

"There is no like, regulating body for this 'antifa'. It's just what the fascists labeled anyone who isn't supporting fascism. If you aren't a fascist, then you are antifa."

We get a new word for "people I don't like" every five years. Almost like its some kind of marketing gimmick that a handful of right-wing news outlets cook up in a think tank back room and then roll out as a fashion statement.

Antifa, Marxist, Leftist, Wumao, Tree Hugger, F-ggot, N-, the terms echo through history.

ask them what from with being against fascism

Well, everyone knows that Fascism is when you're a National Socialist. And that means the Real Fascists are Socialists, which is what the Antifa are, which means Antifa means Fascist.

As a True Patriot, I'm standing up against your evil foreign mind virus by speaking the Secret Truth that They Don't Want You To Know. And that Secret Truth that nobody will let you say is how Middle Aged Wealthy White Men are the natural leaders of society who make everything better. When they're not in charge, when they're not in control of ever facet of socio-economic policy, when they're not in a position of Strength and Pride, the country goes to shit. And that's when the Antifa Fascists come crawling out of the woodwork to spread the disease of dissent and rebellion against the Natural Order.

You either let good Christian American Men lead this country to its inevitable Utopian Future, or I have every right to murder you in self defense. That's what it means to be Against Fascism. So are you with us, or are you with the terrorists?

And everyone clapped

Mr. Crabs no!

I hate this moment, in the book a completely different point was made - that it doesn't make any fscking sense to nuke everything around you, because warfare is a tool in politics, a means of persuasion.

Ironic of you to post a meme with quasi-fasscists in an antifa meme.

Get them hot enough in a no oxygen environment to make biochar and then bury them

Sequester the Nazis

Maybe butane?

Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster...

I feel like we should avoid using gas in any of our ways of dealing with them.

Maybe napalm?

Saving the planet means wanting cheaper electricity for electrocution.

That's why I call myself "so far left I got my guns back". Even though I have no guns. If wanting everyone to have their needs met is anything other than basic human decency I don't know what you'd call it.

Conservatives are just mean people with nothing better to do than hurt others. Like people who pull wings off bugs.

My formerly conservative mother is becoming more and more "apolitical", because the right often wants to do things solely for the sake of hurting others, and the "reasons" looking more and more like just excuses to her my bullies made up to justify their actions.

This is obviously wrong.

First, equality in rights is not a left\right thing in the modern sense of "left" and "right". Historically yeah, it was - when "right" meant parties of aristocracy and "left" meant parties of bourgeoisie, with peasantry split between them.

Second, humans in general very rarely actually mean it when they say something like that quote by Voltaire about free speech.

Third - I take it Khmer Rouge, DPRK, Soviet Union, Kuba under Fidel etc were all right dictatorships.

Four - it's really funny when leftists act as if they've successfully managed to unload NSDAP into pockets of the "right".

The left want everyone to have the same basic rights. Even if they are hated.

Does the left believe those they hate should have the right not to be physically assaulted by strangers?

Sure doesn't look like it in here, lol.

You're welcome! Also remember Reddit is full of Nazis and Lemmy is not.

My bad.

he book how minds change talks about how people change their mind. I haven't finished it yet, but it talks about some fringe groups like flat earthers and such.

It does mention that one of the ways people change their mind is horrible trauma

Like, usually facts and figures don't do anything. Belief is social. Your beliefs will hinge a lot on your social groups. But if your whole life is shaken to the foundations, that can also loosen you up enough to reevaluate.

So, beating the shit out of a Nazi does have a chance of making them change their mind about being one.

Not necessarily. There are a lot of neonazis, that stopped their political activity after an attack and even if they continue to do nazi shit they will become more paranoid. What most militant antifascists are trying to do is to scare nazis out of politics. Its mostly psychological warfare

radicalized Nazi.

There is no such thing as a "radicalized" Nazi - all right-wing ideology is anti-radical. It's kind of the whole point of right-wing ideology, see?

Don't

Then it becomes a question of definition, who is a Nazi? I don't know any government body I trust enough to not misuse that term to strip uncomfortable people of their rights.

A person self identifying as a Nazi should be treated as a pariah and a threat to society.

A person who has been but are no longer should be welcomed back into society.

A person someone at a desk somewhere classified as a Nazi to strip of rights and humanity should not be persecuted with bo other proof, instead it should be the actions of the individual that should be the basis of judgement.

Just compare to the amount of LGBT people who got branded "communists or communist-associayed" just to prohibit them from being full members of society in America during the red scare, also known as the Lavender Scare

They don't have any. Christly bloody awful excuses for humans.

They're often so hateful, you start to wonder if they even capable of love. In their ideology, harm to those that are allowed to be harmed are more important than doing good. It's also ultimately a quite self-destructive ideology.

Those who actually care about good things will ultimately be so disillusioned with the movement that they can either be convinced to leave (might be a long process with some potential fallbacks), or leave by themselves like me. I thought I was helping people by pushing for right-wing programs, but the more I learned about them the more I was disgusted by it. Wasn't an easy job, since I was fed with a bunch of lies, especially on how "leftists" (anyone left of Benito Mussolini) should avoid "political correctness" and "communism", so early on I was an edgier liberal (after being disillusioned by libertarians like a week in), then a boring liberal, then I found a YouTube channel named "Libertarian Socialist Rants".

Nazis are a subcategory of fascists. Not everyone knows what it means to be a fascist, but most people know what it means to be a Nazi. Often times people will use Nazi when they mean fascists in general. It can be hard to tell when this is happening though.

There are Neo-Nazi groups in the US. They can go all out with the look and vibes too. There isn't much difference politically between Neo-Nazis and Nazis. There are way less Neo-Nazis then fascists in the US.

Disregarding people who use Nazi as just a slur for people they don't like, Nazi are people who support Nazism, also known as National Socialism (it has nothing to do with Socialism, BTW), which is deeply associated with Adolf Hitler. It's a form of fascism with a sprinkle of anti-democracy and pro-dictatorship on top. Think antisemitism + racism + white supremacy + anti-communism + social Darwinism. It's attributed to far-right, but using a more modern political compass far-up would be more appropriate since it's more about control than economics.

For full background on why it's so universally hated (if the aforementioned wasn't enough), Hitler was a dictator who ruled over Nazi Germany back in the first middle of 20th century. Under his rule, millions were inhumanely slaughtered for not fitting Nazi's standard of a human being. Then, under Hitler, they went on to create a war that involved nearly all of the continents (from the top of my head, at least Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa), hence the name World War 2 (the first one was in 1914-1918, this one went on from 1939 to 1945). They killed combatants, they killed civilians, they killed children, they worked people to their deaths, they humiliated them, and they tortured them.

All in all, the Second World War took away around 80 million people. The vast majority were people from the Soviet Union (~23-24%) and China (~19-20%). The third place took Germany with less than 8%. About 62% of all deaths were civilians.

That's what they did. They practically wiped out one huge country because they didn't see them as humans.

Every 5th-6th person was dead in Poland. Every 7th-8th in Soviet Union, every 9th in Germany.

That's why they're not just hated, but despised with burning passion.

On a side-note, what's insane to me is how little attention is given to the atrocities Japan caused in China. Soviet Union is at least getting talked about, but Japanese people have no idea their ancestors did this. As a Russian, I knew that China had it rough, to say the least. But I didn't know it was to that extent! And 80% of those were civilians.

Edit: Re-reading the question, I may have taken it too literally, thinking "what's a Nazi?" instead of "what exactly do they mean by "Nazi"?". Whoops, but I guess it doesn't hurt anyway.

Depends on who you ask. It varies anywhere from literal Swatztika toters to "anybody I don't agree with."

It is not "tankie" to defend yourself from Nazis, and protect others from Nazis.
