Punching Nazis in the face is a long-time beloved tradition. I suggest everyone try it sometime.

Earlier, imgur removed a post featuring a Nazi getting punched and so, the Front Page and a nice chunk of Usersub, is all Nazi-punching and fash-bashing.

I got permabanned from reddit for posting the question "what would Eisenhower do if he was present with a machine gun?" underneath a picture of a Nazi march in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is inciting violence in reddit view. Gotta keep those Nazis safe.

No one regrets getting banned from nazi digg.

Yeah, the right is the most delicate of snowflakes. They'll ban you for asking a question, they'll plug their ears and yell shit about emails if you say something that hits home and they don't have an answer.

I got banned for implying that the Israeli palatine conflict is more complicated then an episode of G I joe. And I have said some crazy fucked up shit that flew by the radar.

The Americans certainly took their fucking time to get involved though.

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 30 points 2 years ago

You can always count on America to do the right thing... after they've tried everything else.

[–] windie@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

And the nazis were inspired by the manifest destiny and praised the Jim Crow system.

Don't touch my boats.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you want them to get involved quickly you have to have socialist revolution.

Anti-fascism is so Orwellian that Orwell himself said that every fascist should be shot.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Orwell himself said that every fascist should be shot.

Actually, he described the method that should be used to burn them in their tanks... but it comes down to the same thing, I guess.

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm paraphrasing for effect. I'm specifically referencing his statements about why he joined the Spanish Civil War. I'm pretty sure he never said "every fascist should be shot" but it makes for a shocking surprise for a chud who thinks that antifa is "Orwellian" because they're "the real fascists".

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I’m pretty sure he never said “every fascist should be shot”

Probably not, but he sure as hell thought it - as we all should.

Remember, we didn't beat the fascists during WWII using arguments and polite discussion. We bashed the fash back then, we can and must bash the fash today.

we didn’t beat the fascists during WWII using arguments and polite discussion

Ironically enough, we beat the fascists with a command economy aimed squarely at maximizing war materiel production. Free enterprise my ass ...

Let's be fair to the alt-right. Oppression, racism and all their other values are also American traditions. What a great melting pot!

Yes, the great American Traidtion of gross indifference until the Japanese attacked Pearl harbor.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

That's really not accurate. Prior to Pearl Harbor we were 1) helping extensively to re-arm Britain in their fight against Germany, 2) fighting an undeclared but active war against German U-boats in the Atlantic, and 3) placing an economic embargo on Japan in response to their ongoing invasion of China - the very act that precipitated the Pearl Harbor attack.

Since the captain america of the past was the result of a military program initiated by a government directive. Any such program today would likely result in a super nazi So, no thank you. Pity

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I mean, right here, we are looking at a pic where Captain America could have killed Hitler but instead chose to give him what is, by his standards, a love tap.

Cap isn't even one thats opposed to killing.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Gotta keep in mind comics are funhouse mirrors for the society theyre created in. Pretty sure killing hitler wouldve been seen as the perfect end to a campaign, but then there would be less chance Cap would be needed again
