Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

I need to take a moment to appreciate the fact that someone named Dr Eggman is an anti fascist.
 
This thread seems more interesting than I originally expected.

@Zincy  
Kudos to the people who caught this son of a bitch,

@Shirani  
Maybe it’s the name? I mean, what with WWII fetishism and all, and if one is in a part of the world whose government was part of the Allied side and if one doesn’t view people as simply misguided, one might tend to look the other way, perhaps even subconsciously, you know, such as allying with the Soviet Union despite misgivings about their purges so they could win on the Eastern front? Alternatively, again if we give into a war sort of mentality, then one might ally themselves with the “lesser of two evils” from their standpoint if they are anti-communist, such as by joining the Waffen-SS or otherwise collaborate with the Axis side.
 

 
So, personally, myself, no, I don’t approve of violence either way. _{In fact, I’ve wept for Neo-Nazis, because I love them as human beings, even though I clearly don’t agree with their ideas.} However, I would say not to be surprised if one digs up World War II iconography that someone else won’t do the same.

@Thanotos Omega
 
If there is one thing worse than a terrorist, it’s an unoriginal one.
 
Blowing up a reserve bank in Oklahoma? I mean really.

If the Alt-Right can admit that some of their members can be just as violent and aggressive as some ANTIFA members, I think it might just help them a little bit.

and with bullshit like this happening I am not surprised that our country is going to balkanize!  
for example…  
let’s play this out. So, you as a student go to class and you didn’t look your black professor in the eyes when answering a question (because that’s totally not creepy), so the black professor considers himself assaulted. Now, at this point if someone ‘assaults’ you, you are allowed to defend yourself. So, the professor walks up to the student and punches him in the face thus starting a ‘mutual combat’ situation. The professor beats the living shit out of this student… lets assume he’s white, and nobody gets out of their seats because the student ‘assaulted’ the professor first. Instead, the students all stare into the eyes of the professor as he mercilessly pounds the white student into a bloody pulp, then they continue to look the professor in the eyes as he walks away to the front of the class as the bloody mess that was once a person lays motionless upon the floor. He resumes teaching as the police are called for the ‘student’ assaulting the teacher. The student is then arrested and expelled from college while the professor is hailed as a hero for standing up to ’assault.’

@Shirani
 
Am I the mayor? No? Then why did you, just minutes ago, respond to me as if I said I wanted to forcibly shut them down, even though I never said anything of the sort?
 
You aren’t going to apologize or even acknowledge that earlier you said:  

 
Even though I never advocated this. I’m having a hard time being civil with you if you’re going to make easily-falsifiable claims about what I said and not even acknowledge that you were wrong when I call you out for it.
 
I mean, I’m not doing that to you. I haven’t made up arguments from you to argue against; I argue against the things you’re actually saying, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect the same out of you.

@Dr. Eggman
 
I can’t not read your lines in Eggmans voice and this is distressing me.

@Zincy  
Yeah fucking tribute band bullshit, do wrong right or do no wrong at all,

@Dr. Eggman  
I apologize for putting words in your mouth. However I am not sorry for being pissed that the world is going to shit!

@Zincy  
I am now waiting for there to be a story about some trying to sneak into a white House meeting just on the off chance that he can say that the person was “Snoop PINGAS as usual.”

@Shirani
 
Apology accepted. Even though we disagree, I hope we can discuss these matters and try to understand each other better.

@Background Pony #55F7  
I’ve never seen an ANTIFA member say anything like that. They glorify any violent action their members take.

I’ve got no shame, qualms, or hesitation in saying I hate Nazis.
 
Old Nazis, new Nazis, neo Nazis, right Nazis, left Nazis, white Nazis, red Nazis, earth Nazis, or moon Nazis.
 
I hate everything they stand for, I hate everything they stood for. I hate how they drug my people’s name through the mud, I hate how they continue to do so.
 
I hate their flags, their blades, their shields. Their words, their cheers. I’d hate the ground they walked on if I didn’t have to tread it myself.
 
As a proud man of German heritage, as a proud man of Jewish heritage, as a proud American, and as a proud Southern. The son of vets themselves the children of vets. As a human being. I hate Nazis.

@Dr. Eggman  
I hope so too or we are both going to be in a world we don’t want to be in. I will not live in a dictatorship and I will be damned if I don’t try to stop it from either side.

@Dr. Eggman  
It’s a mistaken narrative that far right groups are emboldened because of Trump, since many have already been disapointed that he is mostly just another lukewarm Republican. At best, he is not the most hated political figure in their circles since he has taken open actions against illegal migration.
 
It’s not being emboldened as it is having a rallying cry, which is for now, the perceived displacement and replacement of whites by migration. The rise of nationalist sentiments in Europe is not caused by Trump; he is merely a symptom of a larger societal shift in the political landscape.

@Zincy  
I still fail to see the reasoning why anyone would want to become a Nazi in this day and age.
 
Coming out as a Nazi is just begging for you to be mocked.

@Zincy
 
Agreed.
 
I’ll accept ex-Nazis if they truly regret their ideology and genuinely renounce it.
 
But anyone who proudly and unrepentantly advocates the ideology of white supremacy doesn’t deserve the time of day. I will condemn them openly and loudly. Nazis should not be made to feel comfortable in this country.
 
They may have the right to be hateful dickheads, but we have the right to let them know how much they suck for it. So if they insist on being racist bags of filth, I say we don’t make it easy for them!

@Turkeynomster  
the threat of losing what is your ancestral home will do that to just about anyone.

@Shirani
 
Who’s losing their home?
 
I’m not assuming your meaning here. I want you to elaborate, so I don’t wrongfully misinterpret you.
 
Who’s losing their home, and to whom?

@Dr. Eggman
 
We live in a nation that was part of the one-two punch that socked ol’ Adolf in the kisser. America will never allow Nazi’s to win.

@Turkeynomster  
I’d have to agree if we shift the focus to international politics since there seems to have been a resurgence of nationalism in recent years in multiple parts of the globe from France to the U.K. to Russia to Japan amongst others.

You know, I never thought I’d live to see the day when Nazism would be defended so heavily.
 
This too, distresses me.

@Dr. Eggman  
Corbyn said he wanted to remove people from their homes.
 
Sweden has removed people from their homes.
 
And I think Germany has also removed people from their homes.

@Dr. Eggman  
the mass migration in Europe is going to cause mass displacement and replacement of the people there. It is no wonder people are radicalizing the way they are there.
