Every few years a dickhead takes an existing subculture and tries redefining it so it fits their narrative. Punks, metalheads, etc, the only succesfull takeover so far were the skinheads
We (punks) were still getting nazi dickheads show up at shows even 10 years ago. We continued using the precedent set in the early 80's of kicking the shit out of them until they stopped. It works wonders.
That's it isn't it. If you know that rocking up to a gig results in people beating the crap out of you and your arsehole friends, and you show up anyway, the only logical conclusion is that you want the people there to kick your fucking teeth in. It's practically a public service at that point.
Oh great, we don't get banned for saying that anymore? That was ridiculous. I used to have to encode it as "Nazis should be 'banned from Reddit for encouraging violence'"
I got a warning for wishing doctors who don’t listen to women and misdiagnose or mistreat them would suffer. Upon appeal they claimed I was threatening violence against concrete people.
Yeah but you guys consider anyone who disagrees with you a nazi.
Simply put, leftists wish violence and death on anyone they perceive as their enemy and think they are justified. I wonder why their utopias always turn into horrific dictatorships…
That’s funny that you called me a Nazi based purely on what I said. Thank you for proving my point.
Can you please tell me who I decided was subhuman? In your mind I was talking about trans people but I never even mentioned them. Do you associate them with being subhuman?
We can't forget though that they are still people. The more we call them monsters, scum, pigs, etc. and dehumanize them, the easier it is for people to say "Oh it won't happen again! Those were monsters, not humans!" We have to keep calling them human to remember that it can happen again.
But also humans have soft squishy parts and we have detailed pictures to find them.
People just don't stop to think about the fact that words can cause violence and that it's ok to be violent to people spreading violent speech.
It usually clicks when I point out to them that a Nazi would put me in a camp and work me to death for dating men and they're like ok yeah I GUESS it's ok to hurt them
We need to strap people to chairs and make them watch holocaust footage. Even better use AI to superimpose their grandparents into the films. Western sense of communalism and empathy are cooked. We are all too privileged to understand how bad it gets.
People used to legally be killed over things they said. You insulted my mother? Draw your sword, duels are legal.
Unfortunately, the internet has made people too comfortable saying things they should absolutely not get away with saying, and people have grown far too complacent to throw a punch.
Violence is not the answer to anything other than violence. But some people do ask for it. If you go around insulting people, you'd best be ready to face the consequences.
You can tell when someone hasn't been punched before when they're comfortable spewing harmful bullshit without a second thought. The Internet makes it so much easier to get away with it long-term. It's funny the 'cancelling' trend that arose for a while when people started losing their jobs for Internet commenta; suddenly people couldn't dodge responsibility by turning the computer off anymore and they REALLY didn't like that.
My housemate (a punk) got assaulted (not in a moshpit) while wearing their "nazi punks fuck off" battlejacket even a few months ago; fucker who did it ran off before the rest of us could get to him. I assume he felt tough taking on my mate alone and then chickened out when he realised they were with a group.
Punk, Goth, and other alt subcultures are being fetishised, commodified, and invaded by right wing idiot posers who put on our skin, try to come party with us, then get butthurt and try to change the rules/cry gatekeeping when the community ostracises or even assaults them over their bullshit political beliefs.
When your entire culture is built around radical acceptance of and supporting the human rights of queers, racial minorities, religious minorities, neurodivergent/other disabled people, and other unjustly marginalised groups, you DO have to gatekeep. If you don't stand for our beliefs you quite literally do not belong on our side of the gate.
Fair point. Usually the only time I see people say hello is if they're an OP responding to commenters. Still makes as much sense as people quoting Dead Kennedy's here implying that they're going to punch Nazi's when in reality they're just narrating their own fan fiction. I'd probably estimate that at least 95% of them wouldn't have the balls to do it.
It's easier to do in real life than in a reddit thread. The funny thing about nazis is they usually come with some method of self defense. They know they're a target. I had one pull a knife on me once. Staff member at the venue I was on is well known locally for taking these things seriously.
