Earlier, imgur removed a post featuring a Nazi getting punched and so, the Front Page and a nice chunk of Usersub, is all Nazi-punching and fash-bashing.
Since we're leaving the definition of tolerance ambiguous this can justify the persecution of anyone.
Yes that does including being a piece of biggot
It's really very simple.
Replace "tolerance" with "respect."
If you don't respect the rights of other people to exist, we have no reason to respect your right to exist.
Back in the day, "outlaw" was someone who had forfeited the rights of a citizen, and could be hunted down like a dog.
Care to give a specific example?
I got permabanned from reddit for posting the question "what would Eisenhower do if he was present with a machine gun?" underneath a picture of a Nazi march in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is inciting violence in reddit view. Gotta keep those Nazis safe.
I got banned for replying to a sexist bigot who was saying gendered slurs and I quoted him and got banned also for using the quote feature to keep him from editing his comment. Mods banned me, didn't listen to appeals, then it became an admin issue and the admins chased me around banning my accounts for ban evasion and then eventually hit me with an IP ban and ignored all appeals, because "the original comments have been deleted." So if I want to talk shit to nazis there now I have to use a VPN.
A 12-year-old account perma'd because I called out someone for using the B-word in a relationship sub.
I am just so thrilled that our largest communication platform is being so diligently managed with such great common sense and healthy community standards. I bet the AI is going to make it even soooo much better.
No one regrets getting banned from nazi digg.
that's a good nickname
Yeah, the right is the most delicate of snowflakes. They'll ban you for asking a question, they'll plug their ears and yell shit about emails if you say something that hits home and they don't have an answer.
The Americans certainly took their fucking time to get involved though.
You can always count on America to do the right thing... after they've tried everything else.
And the nazis were inspired by the manifest destiny and praised the Jim Crow system.
Don't touch my boats.
If you want them to get involved quickly you have to have socialist revolution.
Or discover some oil that needs some democracy.
We didn't hate them until we thought they might actually take us over as well. We weren't fighting Nazis, we were fighting "un-Americans". It's literally just another flavor of racism(that we helped teach the Germans lmao - they loved our concept of eugenics)
Notice how after Nazis it went to Commies, the other "un-American" type.
The Americans certainly took their fucking time to get involved though.
And only when "manifest destiny" as it pertains to the Pacific Ocean, China and SE Asia was threatened by Japan.
Kind of hard to talk people going to another war across the sea so soon after WW1. Plus, the US was more divided on WW2 then people tend to think prior to Pearl Harber.
Remember, we didn't beat the fascists during WWII using arguments and polite discussion. We bashed the fash back then, we can and must bash the fash today.
Who won the war against nazis was the USSR
Good Lord, what a stupid take.
They surely did their part, but it wasn't only them. USA also had a quite important role in it. Yeah, the USSR won Stalingrad and pushed the German force back, but after the USA landed in the Normandy Germany had to fight at 2 fronts, which reduced the amount of casualties on the allied sides. Would the USSR be able to win the war without the USA? Maybe, I seriously don't know, but saying that they were the one winning the war is kind of ignorant.
The USSR didn’t exist then dumbass. Do they not teach history at Edgelord University?
we didn’t beat the fascists during WWII using arguments and polite discussion
Ironically enough, we beat the fascists with a command economy aimed squarely at maximizing war materiel production. Free enterprise my ass ...
Anti-fascism is so Orwellian that Orwell himself said that every fascist should be shot.
Orwell himself said that every fascist should be shot.
Actually, he described the method that should be used to burn them in their tanks... but it comes down to the same thing, I guess.
Yes, the great American Traidtion of gross indifference until the Japanese attacked Pearl harbor.
That's really not accurate. Prior to Pearl Harbor we were 1) helping extensively to re-arm Britain in their fight against Germany, 2) fighting an undeclared but active war against German U-boats in the Atlantic, and 3) placing an economic embargo on Japan in response to their ongoing invasion of China - the very act that precipitated the Pearl Harbor attack.
Don't touch the boats!
Let's be fair to the alt-right. Oppression, racism and all their other values are also American traditions. What a great melting pot!
Americans did not beat the Nazis. USSR did. And after that, the american regime took everyone they could from the tribunals to work for them. Lets not forget the good ol friendships at the time, like IG Farben and Allen Dulles. Lets not forget the first chief of staff of NATO. Lets not forget who put the american astronaut up there. And so on. American liberal democracy ate fascism. And we are what we eat
So's shooting traitors and burning their fields!
Get Billy back out here so we can do it proper this time!
Do it again Uncle Sherman
Stop ALL right.
It also has a tradition of fighting communists.
Good thing Cap. has 2 fists
Make America Fighting Nazis Again -- MAFNA!
In some cases, police responded to the protesters with violent attacks. In one instance, a protester escaped a mounted police officer who’d grabbed him by punching his horse in the face. As the rally broke up that night, some protesters were able to slip by police and punch departing Nazis in the face.
Rookie numbers. Alt Right rallies nowadays pull in way bigger groups. They just suck at pageantry.
Less than 100 years ago
Thanks. I was going to come in to burst that bubble. A ton of Americans were totally sympathetic to fascists until we went to war with Germany and it became unfashionable. But they didn't change their politics, they just didn't call it fascism anymore.
Notice America didn't have a problem with Franco and you didn't hear a lot of Americans denouncing him since he wasn't part of the Axis powers.

Don't shoot the messenger, or shoot him, idc.
I'm curious: who is the great artist who drew this panel?
It's in Jack Kirby's style but I don't think it was drawn by Jack Kirby.
There seem to be signatures along the ground. One kinda looks like it says [something] S. Buscema. After some quick googling, I think it might be Sal Buscema.
Nice!
Based Cap quoting Mark Twain
It used to be... until liberals decided that the antifascists were the "real fascists."
Yeah uhhh no. Try again Dimitri
Really? I guess it was Russian bots that heckled antifa from the sidelines back in 2016 and not liberals, huh?
How does operation Gladio fit in this "tradition"?
Operation Paperclip.
Punching Nazis in the face is a long-time beloved tradition. I suggest everyone try it sometime.
