Deadlocked on federal charges on whether the Unite the White rally organizers conspired to commit racial violence, but convicted on state charge of conspiracy to intimidate, harass, or harm

I give to the toys for tots org, and have been on three motorcycle rides for the cause. I'm not going to not go because there will be motorcycle clubs there i happen to disagree with their lifestyle. Just because a facit of someone's life is disagreeable didn't mean they don't love their family, their children, and their community.

It's true, the Nazis did love their families and their community...you know, as long as there were no Jews or blacks or queers or gypsies around.

But what's more important, is that there were tons of Germans that weren't in the Nazi party. They were the neighbors, and they were all like, "Well, Karl my neighbor says some fucked up shit, but he isn't bothering me. The Goldsteins sure don't like him, but he's not bothering me. So whatever."

"Say, honey, when did you last speak to Noah Goldstein? I haven't seen him in a while."


That isn't "an example." That's a fact of history. The Nazis thrived because they had tons of you as their neighbor. Ask a fucking German that had to live with their own behavior after the war. Maybe you'll learn a god damn thing. Read a god damn fucking book for once, for godfucking sake.

I'm tired of having to point out all of this obvious shit about how fascism works, how it thrives, and how people exactly like you are necessary for it to win. It happens every fucking time. There are museums all around the world, actual entire libraries, and stacks and stacks of corpses as a testament to all of these known facts of this oft-repeated history, that exists in many parts of the world to this day, and can always always always resurface just about anywhere.

It's fucking obnoxious that lazy fucks in this country of all places absolutely refuse to understand these simple god damn points that you were supposed to learn back in high school. It's fucking infuriating.


Seriously: go to the Holocaust museum in DC. Focus on the 2nd floor. Follow the progression of the Third Reich from a little startup group of angry assholes--it is literally the same as the 2016 Trump campaign. The fucking imagery and messaging were stolen right from the Nazis. It's plain as fucking day. Steve Bannon and Steven Miller, all who wrote that shit, absolutely know it. If you don't, then you're being obtuse, and dangerous.

I try to tell people this. What is happening today is like deja vu. The very same playbook as the third reich. And while the outright hatred of jews has yet to reach the level of the third reich, they have adopted the theory of holocaust denier. Trump has found a home, the cult has found a home, the Q's have found a home, and most of the republican party has found their home.

yet another neo-nazi who was heading to trial for drugs decides to off himself


I liked the game but I would never change my name because of it
Von Nukem, who was born as Teddy Landrum, told the outlet he changed his name in 2012 in a nod to his German heritage and the video-game character Duke Nukem.
and for a bit over $200 and risk a long prison term? he must have been desperate for cash
According to law enforcement records, Von Nukem quickly admitted that he had been paid 4,000 Mexican pesos (around $215) to smuggle the pills into the country.
that seems cheap for 15 kilos.

Apparently he was really upset that other fentanyl smugglers would be replacing him!

Geez, five kids under age 9. Hopefully they don't end up seeing the appeal of white supremacy.

considering his wife likely shares his views I think it's highly likely they will. people usually date those in a a small small group and share opinions, and groups like these are even smaller. I believe the keep it small to purify the bloodline.

I thought it was brown people responsible for the fentanyl scourge in the country. Isn't that what we've been told?

Of course they will. They’re gonna hear their dad died because of Mexicans bringing drugs over the border.

This ^. "Your daddy died because {insert groups here} are stealing your god given right to be white" or some such shit.

Ah yes, the “very fine people”, such victims of other people living in the same world as them
