Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

The group left in a U-Haul box truck that was driven out of the county, police said, indicating the demonstrators were outsiders.

A small group of neo-Nazis marched in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, drawing a few vocal opponents and ultimately leaving following a "challenge," police said.

The demonstrators, all men, wore red, long-sleeve T-shirts and black pants, and some carried black Nazi flags, according to verified social media video from the scene.

"Neo-Nazi demonstrators ... carried flags with swastikas, walked around the Capitol and parts of downtown Saturday afternoon," Nashville police said in a statement.

No arrests were reported, and the group left in a U-Haul box truck that ultimately exited greater Nashville, police said, indicating the demonstrators may have been from out of town.

"Some persons on Broadway challenged the group, most of whom wore face coverings," the department said. "The group headed to a U-Haul box truck, got in, and departed Davidson County."

It seems like a really reckless way to travel. Those things don't open from the inside. If their driver was somehow incapacitated or if someone were to put a lock on the back latch, the nazis in that uhaul would be in serious jeopardy.

But even without that consideration, the idea of getting into a cramped unventilated vehicle that wasn't designed for humans and trusting a nazi to transport you anywhere seems ill-advised.

Nazis are historically stupid. Modern Nazis aren't any different

They are neo-Nazis, thinking skills are not one of their strong suits. If the Nazis actually came back they'd have them all executed (like they did last time) because these people are useless. They are all far too self-important to follow orders, and too thick for command.

You just described the SS, my guy.

Brownshirt types might be useless on a battlefield but you don't use them for that, you use them for paramilitary actions like intimidating citizens and rounding up isolated "enemies of the state."

-- and once the revolution succeeds what you have is a group of independently minded and experienced "revolutionaries". So naturally they need to be purged to protect those now in power.

The SS came later. Look it up.

So what you're saying is, "keep taking uhauls Nazis"?

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I mean, if you could think of any group that would put a pile of people in an insafe unventilated box Nazi is pretty high up there.

I say they should do it again.
