Political Memes

As someone who looked up to the US as a kid in totalitarian East Germany, I feel so sad about what this country is turning into.

Folks wave these flags and the cops just wave back.

But try hosting a union rally at a Starbucks or Amazon warehouse, and security will be on you like white on rice.

"Whites against replacement". WAR

Like, you can raise awareness on any issue you think is happening, but that flag you're flying says this has nothing to do with "replacement".

I hate Tennessee Nazis

Wanna know what happened during the pandemic? All the anti-vaccine and anti-mask idiots came out to play. Most people stayed silent. Didn't want to get involved. Went on their days understandably stressed, though also very aware all the wrong around them.

This is no different. We are all so socially programmed to follow norms that we don't want to upset anyone. We don't want to raise our voices in public. Worried we may get embarrassed. Concerned that we are somehow in the wrong. Terrified that something will be taken from us.

Yet here we are in our passiveness, consistently losing ground to actual imbeciles, racists, and malicious actors. WE allow this to happen. Stand up to them or let their word spread unopposed and allow them to do what they want. Freedom of speech works both ways. So stand up and speak out.

Fuck.

I am against violence while I have no illusion about the fact that it seems necessary because bad humans need to fuck up everything for good humans.

But I want to stay that this is not a call for violence or an expression of my support for it.

But why the fuck does everyone and their grandmother have guns in the us and these people are alive? Isn't the point of the guns to protect the public from tyranny? I mean I don't think it works but that is the reason no? How are tyrannical forces allowed to have openly political activity? You guys don't have guns to fight for your "freedom🦅" it seems but to shoot your child when they sneak back into the house.

In my opinion, it is good that you guys don't murder each other but like... What is the point of those guns if not fighting literal Nazis?

Drop the gun bs or actually fight for your freedom or be honest why you want guns, it is fucked up that you want to be shot by your toddler but you do you, i guess.

Well, sure. We've decided that while Nazis are bad, standing up to them hurts their feelings and is therefore worse than the whole Nazi thing

I think all that symbolism - Nazi symbols, Confederate symbols, that stupid christofascist heaven flag, etc - should be legally ruled as implied threats of violence that are essentially always open to defend against.

TLDR see a nazi punch a Nazi should be federal policy.

Ah yes, "Replacement". The great Jewish plot to replace white people with the one set of people that Jews really get on with: Muslims.

Grew up in Nashville, still have racist family there. It absolutely is like that, just look at the state's house of representatives doing shit like expelling the only two Black members of the House last year. Maybe Nashville dreams of being a liberal bastion in a sea of red, but right now it's barely an island.

If no one is doing anything about it, maybe Nashville is that. The racists are really a problem that can be fixed aside from removing them all. The real problem is those people standing with their backs to that and ignoring it.

Hot take, but, I don't like nazis

That's because some of them are cops and they have support from cops.

Looks like the US is finally getting a full view of what the world has seen for decades.

The US is most certainly a NAZI safe haven. And it is time to stop pretending that it isn't a NAZI secret garden.

None of those fatties look like Aryans, in Nazi Germany they’d be made into lamp shades on day one.

The optimal counter to people inciting hateful violence is directing violence at them.

Fascists are worshippers of power, and, furthermore, they're cowards. A large counterdemonstration weakens them. Beating them up cripples them.

My great grandparents would have shot these people for King and Country 🇬🇧

Years of "but what about the communists?", "the nazis are bad trope is overdone", and "what if false nazism allegations?" did this.

It happened in my country, Hungary, now our prime minister poses with a football scarf depicting Greater Hungary, a pro-territorial revisionist symbol.

Not exactly the alpha males they portray themselves as

Just start chasing them down with baseball bats

Nashville isn't this.

Picture shows something different.

It'd be really unfortunate if my old beater car with a literal train air horn strapped to the roof happened to pull up next to them and them have the air valve get stuck open. It's really be bad. Just so terrible, awful, and definitely not intentional whatsoever.

Everyone is acting like this latent shit hasn't been brewing for decades.

That's what happens if a society favours respectability politics, instead of direct antifascist action.

Where's the meme?

This is just a screenshot of a comment and photo.

Failing to recognize motion parallax makes you think adopting nazi symbolism is a good idea?

Motion parallax: sitting in a parked car with your head down, vision tunneled in on reading or whatever. Car slides into the parking place right next to you. Briefly, it offers the cognitive-visual illusion that your car is rolling backwards. Looking up corrects for this, showing you that your car is not rolling backwards, the other car is the only one moving, up to a space right next to you.

These assholes desperately need to look up from their tunneled vision.

Metal Bat with a tube sock, solves a surprising number of these kinds of problems!
