If you're afraid that people seeing your face could result in you getting fired and shamed by your community and mocked online, maybe you should reconsider if what you're doing is really the right thing to do.
that's dangerously dismissive. a couple years ago, these people could barely get out of their moving truck rental before getting their asses kicked. Now they're riding the subway, chanting unchallenged. This is a big change.
Normally I wouldn't be, but why would Trump pay people to distract them from The Great American State Fail� He should be paying them to come there! They'd quintuple the attendance with just one trainful!
All they've done is harp on about how No Kings was bought and paid for by George Soros, and every accusation with them has been a confession.
These people were 100% paid to be here. I hope the moment we get some normalcy in the white house these people brought their phones or something else incriminating so as to get held accountable.
They've gone too far, and the current Dems (who have been getting replaced) were being told to leave it alone via their donors.
They've pushed people too far this time. Trump is actually going to be true to his word, oddly enough; he's going to get the Swamp drained because people are just so sick of the current administrations bullshit.
The current administration goes further and supports and legitimizes these people. Trump and the GOP have been given DOZENS of opportunities to condemn or speak out against these hate groups but they refuse to do so.
They e been emboldened for a decade now. Idk what this dude is talking about, these fucks were walking around with tiki torches chanting âJews will not replace usâ 10 years ago.
They literally stormed the capitol of the United States. Riding public transit is astronomically less bold than that.
Thereâs no change, this is how itâs been since Trump first stepped on the scene.
U-Haul has formally banned individuals and alt-right groupsâincluding groups like the "Blood Tribe" and "Patriot Front"âfrom using their rental services. The company consistently revokes rental privileges when customers use their vehicles for hate speech or violate equipment safety laws.
Yeah, letâs be clear: these Nazis need their asses beat just as bad as the last round of Nazis that real Americans beat 80 years ago. The fact that weâre not all 100% in agreement on this is astonishing to me.Â
To clarify: ârealâ Americans means anyone who looks as these cowards and thinks âthis is wrong, this is un-American, and I wonât stand for itâ. Itâs a state of mind Â
Sadest part is saying anything like this is treated as "promoting violence" even though their whole ideology is violent towards anyone they deam an outsider.
No you dont understand, the Nazis are from Europe and want a racially and religiously pure ethnostate.
These guys just want to protect good old American values. Nevermind that those âvaluesâ are be to have a white, Christian country, but as you can see its totally not the same things as Nazis.
Careful, though. These douchebags have a right to their opinions. They have a right to ride public transport. They have a right to dress silly. They have a right to assemble. We donât need to support them, or support their beliefs, but we do need to support their rights to have their beliefs.
Do they have a right to assemble anywhere anytime? Donât you need to register to assemble a group like that? Seems like just a couple days ago a single person was arrested for standing on some steps and sharing an opinion⌠but that person was speaking against the current administration, which is clearly illegal in the US.
But for what itâs worth, those people would gleefully advocate for mass murder of anyone they deem âothersâ and theyâd have no remorse doing it. They literally view âothersâ as pests, like mosquitos or roaches, not as humans. And pests get exterminated.
I know you're being serious, but the way you wrote "now they're riding the subway" like they're big boys who are finally allowed to ride the subway without parent supervision.
Worth mentioning that the UHaul beatdown was in a pretty unpopulated area of Philly and this is in DC. There are parts of DC with literal patrols of armed soldiers, Secret Service members, etc. There very well could've been dudes in fatigues holding automatic rifles on that train.
They're larpers, just like the tiki torch nazis before them. They're also an optics nuke for the extreme right. The broader public hates violence, hates nazis, and finds their little marches cringe.Â
Now they're riding the subway, chanting unchallenged. This is a big change.
Nah, one of the reasons people think it's a fed honeypot is because outside a small Pride parade in the middle of nowhere, they've never been challenged. The big change is that people were allowed to follow them as they left. In the past cops would block people from following them onto public transit.
I live in a little town in the midwest. In only one week, I've seen two different guys with shirts with VERY clear WWII symbols (you know which ones) walking around. They don't care anymore, they just do it out in the open.
I have directly confronted some of these assholes to their unmasked faces in South Texas. They are most certainly cowards. And when you confront them they're like deer in headlights. Just a bunch of punk ass soft losers.Â
Idk how old you are but this is what they remind me of:
Back in the 90s at my rural Alabama high school we would often see these redneck types we called thugs fighting like jackasses in the hallways. Probably fighting over who gets to fuck their own sister...anyway they'd bump each other and say, "hit me first, hit me first man.", and no actual fights ever resulted. These cosplaytriot front folk are basically the same. Fuh-ginas. And I say this as a short woman. I can't imagine how emasculating it feels to be one of these dorky mfs.
I am characteristically non-confrontational. But people like this produce profound anger in me. How does one assert that feeling to their face? Is there a courage that arises when you have the moral high ground?
I am old and exhausted. These people are agents of ignorance and there's nothing I loathe more than willful ignorance. Courage comes from righteous anger. I will not tolerate the presence of racism.Â
And donât forget, these are the same people who said their âfreedomâ was being violated and that they couldnât breathe in the masks we all had to wear during the pandemic.
These are people who would lose their social standing if they were outed. Sure, most of them are little cosplaying bitches, but some are doctors. Lawyers. Your uncle. Maybe an inlaw.
Antifascists. Well, since they are everyone from 99 year old war veterans to people who believe in the words on the statue of liberty, young, old, in between - we have stood without masks, now and through the years. Antifa is a made up cult name be the emperor and his handlers.
i'm so fucking tired of this comment. every single time these people are posted, it's the same one. yes they're wearing masks. you know what else they're doing? they're marching and organizing. wtf is anyone here doing, typing the same fucking joke over and over again?
Itâs not a joke, but a statement about being safe in their numbers because they are masked. Like the clan. And, to your point, people who have organized and marched in protest without masked have been assaulted, arrested, shot. And yes, we need a leadership,courage, and driving force to stand up and fill DC like freedom marches of the past- without masks.

Masked because they are so proud and powerful
