The group of more than a dozen masked individuals marched wearing red shirts and black pants, waving flags with swastikas on them. It is not clear at this time who the group is or affiliated with, though many of the shirts said “Blood Tribe.”

    Yeah, I don’t know if free speech covers this.

    We (Allies) never made peace with the Nazis. We crushed their military and hanged any officials that didn’t eat cyanide, but there was no treaty or surrender. We didn’t even let the Germans govern themselves until we could figure out who wasn’t a Nazi.

    I would argue that anyone who flies that flag is effectively pledging allegiance to an enemy. And like… The enemy. The guys who industrialized genocide and literally tried to take over the world.

    So idk about shooting them if they’re just jerking each other off in the street. But I would like to channel Aldo Raine and carve swastikas into their foreheads.

      Dude come on. Plenty of officials in West Germany after the war were Nazis. We took Nazis and used them in NASA. The US loves Nazis if they serve the ruling class or are the alternative to socialism.

        half our nations cops

        Half? Police is literally a fascist institution - ie, funded and manipulated into existence by capitalists to protect their power and privilege from the people they exploited to get said power and privilege in the first place.

        It’s not half - it’s all of them by default.

          My estimate is that only about half would actually march under the banner if there was no social consequences. I could be wrong but I’ve known a few hundred cops.

            They are marching “under the banner” right now - every time they put on that uniform, in fact. Nobody forced them to be hencherproletariat - traitors and opressors to their own class - did they?

      We (Allies) never made peace with the Nazis.

      The west made peace with nazis when they saved nazism by filling Germany’s post-war intelligence services with them. That, and the fact that the ruling elites in the west never gave up it’s admiration of them in the first place.
