Nazi supporters march through downtown Nashville

The group of more than a dozen masked individuals marched wearing red shirts and black pants, waving flags with swastikas on them. It is not clear at this time who the group is or affiliated with, though many of the shirts said "Blood Tribe."

Exactly. Americans are always going on about how they need guns to defend themselves from tyranny.

You have tyranny marching on your streets. Just go and shoot them with your guns. What’s the issue?

  • Those marching nazis are scum, but they are allowed to do it
  • Tyranny: "cruel and oppressive government or rule. A group you don't like marching is not tyranny

What's the issue?

You don't see any issue in allowing vigilante justice where civilians are free to murder people on the streets that have differing opinions from that of their own? Is this the world you want to live in? You think there's any chance the outcome might be something different than what you hoped for?

Being nazi is "having a differing opinion"?

Opinion, world view, religion, sexuality, race ...

This isn't about just nazies. If one advocates for a world where common people are allowed to take justice into their own hands and just murder people perceived to be bad then that is a horribly violent world where nobody is safe. I would be making the exact same argument on a right wing forum where someone suggest we should just shoot the communists. That's a horribly ignorant thing to say.

It literally is just about literal nazis. Yes, they should shoot Nazis until Nazis go away again.

Pacifism didn’t win WW2, and it won’t win now. This “enlightened centrist” take is why this is happening again. Libs, socDems, demSocs, anarchists, Marxists and communists need to realize that fascism is here. It’s not going away with “talks.”

People here are literally advocating murdering others for thought crimes. They only need to hold a set of certain beliefs and that is a good enough justification to murder them. No, actually it's even worse; people only need to think you hold a set of beliefs and that's enough. One doesn't need a PhD. to figure out how a society acting in that way will go sideways in a heartbeat.

Not thought crimes. Marching in the streets with literal swastikas on flags. Their "set of certain beliefs" killed 17 million people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims) as part of their beliefs: and that's without counting the deaths they caused by starting a war.

It's not some clever gotcha to pretend this is a grey area. It's not folks saying to go after GOP members, people in militias that are dogwhistling, or even the Proud Boys. It's not folks that loudmouths on twitter are claiming are nazis. The issue here is literal fucking nazis. I actually have a PhD, and I consider it wise to chase literal goddamn nazis out of town with violence. Tolerating the most extreme intolerance is not a path toward a good future.

perceived to be bad

Nazis, dude. "Perceived," my ass.

I'm not talking about just nazies.

Also, vigilante justice like this means there is no court process and investigation about wether said person actually is guilty of the crime they're accused of. Innocent people will fall victim to it aswell. I'm sure there are more that one people in this thread thinking I'm a literal nazi aswell but I'm not and murdering me would mean murdering a person for "crime" they did not commit.

I’m not talking about just nazies.

Cool. What other groups are you talking about?

Making death threats is already illegal in the US, i don't see how waving nazi flags doesn't fall under that.

You're not allowed to murder people on the streets for making death threats either.

Yes, unless you share that same opinion, then it's just the same. Welcome to the world, some people suck and you might not agree with all of them. That doesn't give you the power to be supreme leader over all of nature.
