They look like some generic cannon fodder guys from 1980s action movie

These chuds look like cartoon Nazis from some hana-barera cartoon from the 70s. Like some kind of Scooby Do shit.

The usual suspects are saying these are a bunch of undercover feds. I disagree because false flags need to have a point, if this were the FBI they'd have some Pro Palestine flags up there

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Yeah, while I imagine there are a lot of feds (cops especially) there, they're not doing it as part of their work, they're off duty.

Search up any links to foreign white-nationalist groups... if it turns out they have ties to the AFU (Eg. Azov et Aidar battalion) C14, Wagner, I won't be surprised if this was the result of foreign policy 'blowback' that helped increase such activity like this

(Not to say that America is not white supremacist inherently, just that it never used a swastika as much to do so)

StepBack has a great video about the history of white supremacism in the US. It's long but worthwhile.

The US has been flying the swastika far more and far longer than you would at first expect.

EDIT: Link because google search gets you shit in support of white supremacy if you try looking it up https://www.youtube.com/@StepBackHistory/videos Can't remember which one so just watch them all.

Which video? He has many about it..

If I had to guess probably "When White Supremacists Declared War on America" but I might be wrong. The one on white women I remember being really good too, it goes into how how white supremacy was a notable component of the suffragist movement.

please putin, start a special military operation to denazify amerikkka

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, I perceive Putin as a right-wing nationalist, though he's not a nazi. Maybe China? Cuba is unfortunately too small :(

The best I can do is: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1au0nyy/the_tennessee_state_capitol_yesterday/

It's been fucked for awhile, it's just become impossible to ignore.
