Dear Alberta, could you please deal with your racists and get your ridiculous theocracy out of office? We have to get ready for a real war.

But why would Daniel hold her favorite people accountable?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Her name is Marlaina. Until I see a note from her parents saying she's allowed to change her preferred name, she should be called Marlaina.

Why get the police involved? Our soldiers should be allowed to kill these Nazis where they stand.

We already fought a war to eradicate those scumbags, and we should have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to neo-Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Slippery slope that. If you call the armed forces in for one group of citizens, maybe PP gets in and he starts calling them in for people who you and I might not think need shot.

Don't get me wrong, these idiots should be shot. Just saying pulling up the army might not be the best precedent to set.

Why is it always a bunch of young adult white males? Don't we have a cure for incels yet?

I live in a country where prostitution is legalized. Maybe that would help these guys.

Oh and therapy.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is absolutely a cure for incels, yes, but nobody in the west would like it. So you're kind of stuck with them.

The prostitution thing won't work, though. I actually got fed up with a loud incel peripheral to a social circle I was part of and snapped, offering to hire him a hooker right then and there so he could STFU about how he'd never been laid.

Immediately he moved the goalposts and said he didn't just want to get laid, he wanted a "genuine emotional relationship". Saying this despite for the previous two hours only ever talking about sex, sex appeal, sexual characteristics, etc. with not a word spent on "genuine emotion".

Some people just want to whine, and when they gather in groups they spiral destructively.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Let's be real: it's about control. They want sex on their terms, and paying for it doesn't put them in control. They say things like "genuine human connection," while desperately wanting a traditional, subservient woman that they can use to satisfy their needs.

Therapy has always been legalized, but the folks who need help the most will often not dare ask for it

When there was a pro-nazi rally in my city a few years ago, a ton of the LGBTQ+ groups and nearly 3 times as many people (including my sister and I) showed up to drown out the Nazi bullshit with our own signs and salutes.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Wait, is there an LGBTQ+ salute? If not there really should be.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

By salute, I mean πŸ–• to the Nazis.

Normalize beating the shit out of Nazis again and this stops overnight.

Maybe the cure for fascism is organized crime making a comeback. Specifically the Jewish Mafia. They wouldn't tolerate this kind of behavior.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The US Nazis are armed with the intent of violence in "self defense". Be careful out there.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Confront them first, make them feel uncomfortable. Make fun of them, make them feel ashamed first. We don't need to get violent from the get-go to be effective. We gotta get creative.

Down the road from where I live.

Trumps been in office a fucking week and these shit stains are already coming out with confidence.

Edir: oh and our premier hasn't condemned the act yet (it's her voting base πŸ˜‰)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (10 children)

I dreamt that I was faced with a group where some were starting to do some Nazi heiling and generally testing the waters trying to get people on board with white supremacy and ethnic cleansing.

I said something like "Fuck it, let's see where we're at; Nazis go right, if you're not a Nazi go left."

Turned out there were 3 willing to call themselves Nazis in a group of like 15.

So I dreamt I followed it up by saying "Kill the Nazis" and people immediately starting chasing them down. Didn't see how it ended.

I'm starting to question if they are the losers or are we for sitting back and watching this grow bigger and bigger across the entire world and not doing a single thing to stop it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, the Nazis are the losers.

They are even the biggest losers in History. First off we won a war against them, making them by definition 'losers'.

But they were all claiming to be the superior race of the world, and had the superior army in the world. Only to go through a single war and lose.

But that isn't all. They were beaten by a group of different countries that let anyone join. Meaning, the Nazis were literally defeated by diversity and inclusivity.

So sad as to be absolutely pathetic. Even worse than hanging a β€œkick me” sign on yourself.

Get out your pool noodles & whack 'em on sight. Amplify their message with satire. Make a buffoonery out of them until they learn.

One thing I always wonder, who or what are they saluting? I mean, Hitler and the 3rd Reich are long dead. It can't be used as a secret society sign, since everybody knows it. Maybe it is like a rattle snakes rattle, stay away, I am bad!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

It's just a sign showing their association with the ideology or exist organization(s). It's part threat, part "this is my ideology", part indicating their existence (e.g., other's with similar ideology know they're not alone). There's also the bonus being if you punish them they can whine about being suppressed and if you don't punish them they can tout how "clearly others agree with me : )".
