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.

Patriot Front was founded in 2017 following the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The neo-fascist hate group has gained visibility over the years as those connected to white supremacy organizations have been widely embraced by the Trump administration.

The founding rally:

They accuse anyone to the left of Hitler of hating America while flying the flag of an enemy nation defeated 150+ years ago.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 41 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

To be fair I am to the left of Hitler and hate America.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

See, both sides are the same

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not even the flag of an enemy nation. They chose the battle standard of a particular regiment.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

That's what I was thinking. How is this in any way not the opposite of patriotism? On technicality they're steering torward treason, but neither state they adhere to exists anymore.

[–] aarch0x40@piefed.social 54 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The white face mask is the new white pointed hood

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

They chose this color to make flags out of it later, if somehow their brave march went south.

[–] hexagon527@lemmy.blahaj.zone 49 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

buncha cowards scared to show their faces

The same ones for Palantir and facial recognition against minorities.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 39 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, I forgot a lot of ICE agents have the holiday weekend off.

Oh fantastic. New shirt to Print

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 27 points 3 weeks ago

Brave patriots. Proudly standing up and not being identified.

[–] bloogoose@lemmy.zip 25 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Why not start beating their asses or gently running them over when they're seen? Every time we don't act the more this cancer takes root.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There's a reason they wear masks, hide all identifying information, and march only in a large group in sparsely populated areas.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Erm...Washington DC is a densely populated area.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

In general yes, but the pictures I saw were at Union station and Senate Park. Senate Park is relatively unpopulated. Unless you count the squirrels.

[–] TheDankMemegician36@thelemmy.club 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Go ahead.

Get yourself an "assault on a federal agent" charge.

[–] bloogoose@lemmy.zip -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah we're all cowards. I guess there's nothing we can do! Oh well!

Im not sure what you think youre getting at here.

[–] Twisted_Alien@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Is that what you do? I bet you wouldn't do either if you weren't behind a keyboard....

[–] queerlilhayseed@piefed.blahaj.zone -3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't do that because I think murder is wrong even when I think the murderee is a terrible person.

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Theyre out to murder you. It is literally you or them.

[–] brownsugga@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

The strangest gay subculture there is

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Take the masks off traitors. I'm not afraid of some treasonous rats that hide behind a mask like cowards.

[–] Archr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Remember when 4chan identified someone just from their eyes, brow, and nose?

The bike lock bandit. He ended up being an ethics teacher at a college and got fired for beating people with a bike lock. We just need that sort of investigation here.

[–] nixfreak@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 weeks ago

Seriously , a giant mob needs to break up the rally and burn those flags

[–] treesquid@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Oh look, it's the justification for 30-rd magazines.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

That first image from 2017 is something out of a 90s court room drama about the racist south. It's so extreme it borders on caricature.

[–] Arancello@aussie.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago

The confederacy doing its victory lap.

[–] homes@piefed.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

DSA, instead, spends time kicking ass at the polls

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

What a way to commemorate the nation's 250th...

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Patriot front = white nationalist Taliban

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

How can you be a "patriot" and then promote the flag from another country - a country of losers?

[–] 0ndead@infosec.pub 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Wonder if they like cocktails.

[–] nightmare786@leminal.space 3 points 3 weeks ago

parading with the flag of losers is so cringe

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Dude in lower right has a bump cap in his hat.

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 1 points 3 weeks ago

Still wouldn't protect him from a car

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

in the first image, i believe one of them fled to the UK before the pandemic, to avoid being doxxed. so he can finish his business degree.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

He'll fit right in, the retard nazi right is stronk there.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

"What kind of an American are you?"

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago
