Opens incognito window. "Detroit pride nazis". No pushing people to the ground. "detroit pride nazis pushing people to the ground". Still nothing. "Detroit pride nazi attack". Not getting there. Switches to Bing instead. "Detroit pride nazi attack". There's some pictures of people pushing people to the ground, finally! From 2015. In Kiev. To finally find this picture you're talking about, I had to find a news article about the event that gave the picture of tearing a flag apart credit to the source, trace that picture from there back to Reuters and scan through their gallery of images to find the right one. Woof.

And all that to find pictures of a woman who got knocked over while trying to physically block them in a cross walk in front of traffic with her own body, quite obviously before they reached the police who actually stopped them. That really wasn't worth the effort.
What's your goal here?
Are you implying that nazis are a peaceful movement who are being unfairly maligned?
Are you stepping up to fill Lunatic's role?

In the topic about Nazis attacking people, all you are doing is defending Nazis and trying to shift blame to others.
Nope. I made you understand that children to not pay their souls for something they had no choice in.
That is not the actions of someone who opposes Nazis.
When they start committing crimes while armed in my neck of the woods where I don't need to board a plane to do something about it, don't worry, you'll see my response then. Calling out these shitheads has been a universal thing in this thread pretty much, and I only bothered posting because you were not realizing the full extent of your own words.

I didn't realize you lived that close to the USSR.

You know there was a shitload more to the German Army than hunting Juden, right? Good chunk of that was being fed to the grinder on the Eastern front against other dudes being fed to the grinder because Stalin was a shithead.

No, I think the Nazis are fairly maligned. I think the police were unfairly maligned, because by my understanding the police headed off the Nazis before they could get to the Pride event and kept them physically contained until they left under the threat of arrest if they did anything remotely against the law. Upon bringing this up, I was asked about pictures circulating of someone pushed to the ground, as though this picture contradicts that view of the police presence. By saying "what about this picture" I was expecting the picture to show the Nazis getting violent and the police doing nothing to stop them. After having to dig through the internet myself for a picture than was vaguely described to me, I find out the picture shows a woman on the ground after trying to physically push back a nazi herself, so it's not clear a crime was committed, but even assuming they assaulted her, there are neither police nor the Pride crowd in the picture, which makes me think that happened before the Nazis got to the police and the police were likely unaware that had happened. So how does that picture contradict a defense of the police? I don't know.

Everyone who supported Nazis was responsible and anyone who didn't do everything they could against it chose to effectively support it too. Heavily implied.

Hmm, I can see a lot of stuff about soldiers (with caveats about children being victims themselves). Nothing about "all citizens".

Part of the choice was not letting Hitler come to power. Hitler made no secret of his bigotry, his rise to power relied on it. He was supported BECAUSE he was bigoted.
The way I read this does not in any way involve enlistment in the military, but instead relates to the political sphere and thus, the German people as a whole.

More so in regard to conscription, if you did not resist conscription (i.e. submit to execution) then you are just as bad as those who were forcing the conscription upon you.

I believe the words were that if anyone fought for Nazi Germany then they were as bad as the Nazis, despite them not knowing exactly what crimes the Nazi regime was guilty of. According to most they were just an occupying force.

This seems to directly refer to people that supported him during his rise to power.

And... yes, they held some measure of responsibility for what came after.

You shouldn't try to play attorney for Saelune.

Saelune said:
100% of Hitler's supporters are Nazis. Every soldier that fought for Nazi Germany was a Nazi, whether they joined the party or not, whether they 'agreed' with him or not, because in the end, they helped him commit his evil, they fought his war, they ousted their neighbors to the camps. Maybe they were 'just protecting their family' or 'defending their homeland', but at the cost of their very souls.
Saelune is like... the image I had when I was heavily invested in alt-right american media of the typical leftist... It surprised me they weren't all just hyperbolic nonsense. There are people that feel that the most important things in life are equality and the environment, and that all conservatives that supported Trump are racist bigots, etc. and to top it off, Saelune doesn't seem to want to engage in a discussion with the purpose of challenging their opinions.

It was about German soldiers under the Nazi regime. No doubt about it.

Agreed, with one caveat. Many regular Germans knew about what the SS units were doing in the east. The undesirables weren't deported to a different land... they were deported to the sky, in the form of ash.

Neither do most online commentators. The majority are here for the sport of it, for fun, or to hone the craft of argument.

You mean Saelune is literally like most of the people on the internet?

Let's get something Clear. Saelune hasn't had an easy life. From what I recall, the home life was hard... in fact, nonexistent when Saelune admitted to being LBGTQ. Bullied, harassed, marginalized for just being true. True to how an individual was born, and feels.

As much as I seen, Saelune said more than you're responsible for Trump if you voted for Trump. And if you're republican, you're responsible for not picking a better candidate than Trump. And I think that's as fair as an assessment as Democrats and Republicans saying we Liberals and Democrats are responsible for losing 2016 because we picked Hillary Clinton. I chose Bernie, but I get it.

If a person has to fight in every second of every day, and still is having their rights decided FOR them, I understand the passion. I'm a black guy and I still go over in my head who has it rougher in this day and age. I chose one way of acting, but let it be known that it wasn't actually BY choice. If I could get loud, I might. But I know that when my voice raises to a higher level, people whip out the phones and call 911.

But let's not just try to use Saelune as a scapegoat. I got into a knock-down, drag out issue when I talked about how Christians might want to keep their holiest of days (Christmas) to be about Christmas with several people on this forum. There are Atheists here who are the spitting image of what the Faithful fear. There are all shades of people. We get into problems when we don't look at what has gone into how they are acting and why, and just look at their label and go "Ok, got it. It's because that person is one of them."

What is there to challenge? There's no discussion and no debate with people who identify with the Nazi party. These people aren't deluded about what the Nazis stood for. They know exactly what they stood for and they embrace those ideals wholeheartedly. This is not a harmless fuckin' joke. Nazi ideals are fundamentally incompatible with the modern diverse society. These people literally want to kill everyone they deem to be of lesser race or ethnicity etc. At the very least they want to deprive them of equal rights.

There's not a whole lot of difference between Nazis and the fuckin' ISIS or any of the Islamic extremists. The only important thing differentiating them at this point is the fact that the Nazis aren't strong enough to do what Islamic extremists in the Middle East can do. They can't get away with most of that shit so they don't try. So how about we do something about it before they grow stronger? Because it is literally us (normal people aka not fuckin' Nazis) vs them. And in the good old days being a Nazi would have earned you a bullet in the head if you're fuckin' lucky. And now we're seriously debating about giving those people a platform and debating them? Absolutely not. Fuck Nazis.

Here's a secret. The alt right? Nazis? Etc? They thrive off people "challenging" their opinions in open debate. Why? Because facts and logic doesn't apply to their ideals, so it's impossible for them to "lose".

You show me a video of an alt right dude getting fucking wrecked in a debate and I'll show you the same video spread around subreddits and chan boards of that same man "owning the lefties". Any publicity is good publicity for them, and its monumentally better to just not give them a platform.
.
I've written in a previous post, one of the first I responded with to criticism over my appeal to reason. I said that if you silence the opposition you lose the ability to follow their moves and push them further to the edge. You wouldn't make it stop - you'd only make it harder to join - but if you make it illegal, you make it more radical and exciting to join as well.

This is the problem you have with me - I ask for dialogue. You're not the only person that has this problem with me. I've been to /pol/ last week for the first time partly because of your remarks. I wanted to check it out and see it for myself. If I wasn't one of their greatest enemies I would have been sucked in because it's fascinating. I realized how deluded these guys are... It made me check some of their memes, and a whole new world of conspiracies opened up for me. It was like I was a kid in a candy-shop, and every candy was a lollipop with a razor in it. I tried to take them seriously - because so many people do - and I couldn't. My take on it - they're deeply entrenched in their dream-world, and there's little you can do to pull them back if you debate them on the internet. The solution? Ah. Here is my solution. Do not push them outside of the law. Address the issues that some of these people are facing - hardships that plagued regions in America which the media and government forget to acknowledge... Drugs, unemployment, neglect... People who voted for Trump because they were in a bad spot economically and wanted to change that.

I do not think that people who voted for Trump voted for him because they were racists or bigots or whatever.

Saelune just likes to activate Godwin's law like it's a stand.

Here's the original post if you care to read it.

Legally owned and licensed firearms, held by organized law-keeping black citizens for the safety of their communities.

Police wouldn't risk starting a riot, they'd rather protect the nazis from getting lynched.

Y'know when Nazis marched in New York in the 30s Lansky was asked low-key by the US government to crash their rallies and beat them to pieces...

He delivered.

This shouldn't be made illegal by any means. Let this surface, identify the ring-leaders and plan retribution. If you allow this to bubble under your feet you will lose track of the movement.

I regularly play devil's advocate here when "white nationalists" (as if that's a thing, bitter poor whites turning to populism for salvation) gets conflated with nazis. It's more productive to have a dialogue with these people and understand why they are lashing out (hint: It's opium, mechanization and globalization), and maybe even address these issues... These nazis? Break them.

Folks, here's a crazy idea. Let's not argue or talk shit about people while they're suspended and cannot speak for themselves.

Were you suspended, would you like people talking about you during your suspension? If not, don't do it. I'm not trying to backseat mod here, just exercise some damn common decency, would you?

Well, they were doing that to that guy who was banned a few days ago so it's only fair in my book to have it done to them when suspended. As long as you never say anything worth suspending you over I don't think it's a concern XD.

Can you appeal to Godwin's Law in a thread about actual, literal, real-live actual Nazis?
