Comment on What Can a City Do When Neo-Nazis Start Marching Down Its Streets?

We can’t suppress them into defeat!? What?? That’s how the German Nazis were defeated! That’s how modern Nazis have been symbolically defeated, worldwide. “We don’t serve you here.” Any place, anywhere in the world, if an equal number of people stand up against them and for human equality, they run away with their results between their legs. They’re fucking Nazis…

There were several laws put in place in postwar Germany that specifically suppressed them. This was broadly effective, though I think the modern-day position of the AfD shows it was not completely so.

In the US, any such legislation would be struck down in court as unconstitutional.

So, it’s just not that simple.

  Newsflash: some number of people are absolute shitbags.
  
  If you let them take over and run the show it's gonna get real bad.
  
  Nazis are absolute shitbags. They will always be around in some number. You need to always suppress them so they don't fuck up the good shit we have managed to eek out.

    Well, yes, you definitely don’t want to let them take over. You want to demonstrate your own strength, and how much you outnumber them.
    
    This is not preventing them from marching in some way, though. That is not doable, it would be illegal. It would also be counterproductive in our current climate of most people underestimating the actual danger.

    You need to be cautious of the paradox of tolerance.

  Right, so you start beating the shit out of them until they learn to shut the fuck up and stop showing up. Make them afraid.

That’s how the German Nazis were defeated!

The German Nazis were defeated with overwhelming manpower & firepower, not passive suppression.

  They were defeated by actually standing up to them. That’s all I’m suggesting we do now!

    Okay, I guess I misinterpreted what you meant by suppression. Yes, by all means, stand up to them.
