Unite the Right Racist Scum

This Nazi rally was planned by an actual fucking Nazi, with the title, “Unite the Right”. If you don’t think it’s fair to say that “The Right” are Nazis, take it up with him.

Pfft! Those Nazi protesters are sub-human. I could not care less what happens to them. Officers, take whatever actions you feel are necessary
Woody Allen: Has anybody read that Nazis are gonna march in New Jersey? Ya know? I read it in the newspaper. We should go down there, get some guys together, ya know, get some bricks and baseball bats, and really explain things to 'em.
Party Guest: There was this devastating satirical piece on that on the op-ed page of the Times, just devastating.
Woody Allen: Whoa, whoa. A satirical piece in the Times is one thing, but bricks and baseball bats really gets right to the point of it.
Another Party Guest: Oh, but really biting satire is always better than physical force.
Woody Allen: No, physical force is always better with Nazis.

Manhattan (1979)

I would’ve booked Norm MacDonald as a guest speaker.

That’s ridiculous. This unite the right, supposedly the largest gathering of white nationalists in decades, managed to gather only a few hundred nazis. That’s a tiny tiny number and its absurd to use them to paint the entire right as nazis.

It is true that equating the right with Nazis may be unfair to the Nazis, yes.

TV shows aren’t typically the foundations of a moral code. What next? Quoting Negan?

My grandfather died in a concentration camp. He broke his neck when he slipped and fell off a guard tower.

Now that’s funny.

Last December I asked the following question:

“How can I tell the difference between patriotic red-blooded supporters of Trump and Nazi supporters of Trump?”

Well? Looks like we need answer fast.

How about arrest people breaking the law and leave people alone otherwise? What a novel concept.

Manhattan was a movie. Besides, that exchange was hilarious. And we’re talking about fucking Nazis.

The difference would have to be the former are fictitious.

So? There’s a reason the ACLU got involved. Fundamental liberties are important. Even if you disagree with the message. Not a hard concept.

… and you’ve just become one.

Statistics show that 99% of people who say that have a dead hooker in the trunk.

Hey man. Just responding to your overreaction to movie quotes which were quite obviously posted for humor, albeit dark.

No, at this point, I’d say it’s just prudent. Violence happens at protests. It may be one side or the other. It may be spoilers. It can even be the police. There’s just no guarantee of safety.

At this point, I would not go to a protest over a divisive issue (and shame that this is a divisive issue) without protection. It would not mean I was looking for a fight, but just worried that others might be.

That’s my opinion. But I am a bit more risk averse than many.

Jeezus fucking Christ there are a lot of fascist apologists here these days, from smarmy assholes like Shodan and Bricker who think they are leading authorities on everything, to out-and-out scum like Okrahoma and octopus! I STRONGLY urge the Moderators and Administrators to take a long look at what the SDMB is becoming, because it is not on a good path. Increasingly, when I want intellectual discussion and reasoned discussion, I have to go elsewhere.

Tell it to Richard Spencer. Tell it to David Duke, who declared that White Nationalists are the reason why Donald is president and he’d better be careful about not crossing them. This is David Duke who believes that this Nazi rally is fulfillment of Donald’s campaign promises, recall.

If you conservatives don’t want to be associated with Nazis, then you need to haul up your socks and tell them to take a hike. You can start by telling the leader of your party to fire the Nazis he has on his staff. It’s probably too much to ask him to condemn the Nazis, but if he would stop retweeting memes from Nazi sites, that would be a real help. And tell him that this “both sides” shit isn’t fooling anyone.

It’s scum to advocate peaceful resolution to ideological differences? It’s scum to promote a truly liberal stance on fundamental freedoms? You are a cowardly retard who obviously can’t read clearly.
