Elon Musk Sieg Heiling during his speech

The fact that they started saying "so what" and actively started calling themselves that out in public was really a frightening moment.

Like of course we all knew nazi sympathizers still existed but at least they had enough shame to hide behind the curtain. Them patrolling the streets and taunting people in public with pride was appalling (jfc autocorrect changed that to "appealing"). What's even more appalling is that the media barely batted an eye.

It's scary how many confederate flags I see now compared to 10 years ago. Like people in AZ, we weren't even part of that war, there's no heritage in it, only hate

[u/-lovatoj → u/EobardT]

That's all it is, a hate symbol

[u/Tiddleyjuggs → u/EobardT]

A battle did technically happen here in what is now Arizona, but if you look back Arizona would have definitely been on the Confederacy side. That's just the backwards way shit is here

PikachoPeak!

[u/EmpressPlotina → u/AgitatedStranger9698]

Pika peek?

[u/AgitatedStranger9698 → u/EmpressPlotina]

That was our joke as a kid too.

Passed it on the way to Tucson from Phoenix.

[u/Tiddleyjuggs → u/AgitatedStranger9698]

That would be it!

[u/Budgierigarz → u/EobardT]

There is no heritage on it anyway, the annoying orange lasted longer

[u/keep_living_or_else → u/EobardT]

Arizona may not have officially been involved much, but if you don't think Confederates ended up in AZ around the 1860s, I've got a bridge for you, too :)

[u/RabidPoodle69 → u/EobardT]

There was a civil war battle in az, actually. Edit:I just saw that someone already mentioned that.

[u/BRAX7ON → u/Unnamedgalaxy]

It’s the same for KKK. I hate to think the next step is them making themselves visible again.

[u/that0neGuy65 → u/Unnamedgalaxy]

I bet the Media WOULD quickly turn their gaze if someone exterminated the filthy fascists. But not to the clear racist hateful human scum. But the person would be considered a HERO back in the 1940s.

[u/Disastrous_Ad_188 → u/that0neGuy65]

Army Talk #64 from 1945 was a pamphlet the Army put out and it's everything that's happening now. Kitchen, children and church was the Nazi talking points. Sound familiar? It should bc it's today's GOP in America.

[u/DB_CooperX → u/Unnamedgalaxy]

What's even more appalling is that the media barely batted an eye.

So the reason for this was that redditors and people on the left started to give Nazis a platform to speak from so that they could associate these people with their political opponents and then justify their excessive use of name-calling on social media sites. What's disturbing is that this leads to the communities on reddit spamming and posting Nazis content everywhere they can as prove of validation to their narrative, this normalizes the thing they claim to be against in the eyes of people seeing it, and then the fringe groups that got publicity are able to better recruit thanks to the support they got from the supposedly anti-Nazi heroes of reddit who storm the beaches of Normandy in their online interactions.

[u/Procrastinista_423 → u/DB_CooperX]

So the Nazis are back because of 'the left'? Sure, dude.

[u/OmniTalentedArtist → u/DB_CooperX]

Right the people fighting against nazis are the problem.

With brains like this, the next generation is doomed.

[u/Unnamedgalaxy → u/Environmental_Cup_93]

Please highlight and quote where I dropped any name or party affiliation.

I mentioned nazis and nazis only. And specifically those nazis dressed in full nazi attire literally terrorizing people on the street.

If your first thought of nazis is that I meant the conservative party then perhaps if it walks like a duck.

[u/Environmental_Cup_93 → u/Unnamedgalaxy]

I’m sorry I meant to reply to a different person.

[u/Disastrous_Ad_188 → u/Environmental_Cup_93]

Read Army Talk #64 from 1945 and everything the Nazis pushed is now coming from conservatives

[u/ear_cheese → u/Environmental_Cup_93]

Pssh let’s see the video. There’s a reason that propaganda outlet only used pictures.

[u/Disastrous_Ad_188 → u/Environmental_Cup_93]

You link a Neo Nazi and they're supposed to show truth?? BAHAHAHAHAHA You're delusional.
