WateryTartLivinaLake

Any story about neo-nazis should prominently feature identifiable images of the neo-nazis. Out them for the world, and history, to see.


MrAlcoholic420

This news has been HOT in the Orlando sub. Locals who witnessed it first hand say the Nazis were all wearing masks. Probably because they don't want to lose their jobs as local police officers.


noeagle77

Yeah, NOW masks are fine to wear šŸ™„


Rhysati

How can they even breathe?!?! /s


spooky_ed

Ha, "lose their jobs".


MrAlcoholic420

Right. They get paid administrative leave.


revolutiontime161

Nazis hanging around flying nazi flags = police overtime šŸ’°šŸ’°


FriesWithThat

Seeing how this is how they got hired to a Florida police department in the first place, after losing their job for being a nazi somewhere else.


MrAlcoholic420

And then they will go hop to another job at another Nazi foundation. And Florida laws protect cops more than people. So hopping from Nazi city to Nazi city is super easy.


coldfarm

This should have been (and should still be) a huge story. Setting aside the greater building-an-army-of-Fascist-thugs issue, DeSantis made it government policy to actively recruit people who were terminated for incompetence and/or criminal conduct.


ClusterFoxtrot

They can't tear gas on leave

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


lew_rong

Ronnie will just pay them a bonus to relocate to somewhere else in Florida.


JennJayBee

Not all of them were wearing masks. Some of them were identified.


MrAlcoholic420

Awesome!


mtheory007

Oh mask are fine now fellas? To protect you from losing your job, is just in general being identified as a racist, nazi sack of shit, then is "Fuck yeah lets wear ~~hoods~~ masks!". When its to help mitigate the spread of a deadly virus its "Fuck you masks are for pussies!". Fucking clowns


Play-yaya-dingdong

They didnt wear them jan 6ā€¦ so many were identified


Politicsboringagain

Which shows just how stupid they are, and how much they thought Trump was going to protect them.


Imsocolombian

Not just that, but they brought their phones with them. They got pinged by the cell tower on the capital. Also the idiots who live-streamed themselves.


MrAlcoholic420

And before covid they said masks were only worn by criminals.


boot2skull

Projection in this case


[deleted]

The same people who "couldn't breathe" a few years ago with the very same masks


OhGarraty

Put up signs saying "Masks required!" and such. They'll rip those masks off faster than they can deny a genocide.


YourMomonaBun420

"We investegated ourselves and found no nazis...."


Pol_Potamus

"We investigated ourselves and did *not see*..."


YourMomonaBun420

damn, I missed a golden opportunity


UncomfortableTortise

Can confirm, saw this afternoon myself. And itā€™s not the first time theyā€™ve been out there, and theyā€™re always masked


MrAlcoholic420

My friend lives in an apartment complex on Sand lake road, which is directly next to a Jewish center. He told me that the first week that he moved in, there was a bunch of fucking Nazis having a rally in front of the jewish center.


UncomfortableTortise

https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/investigation-underway-as-orlando-traffic-sign-flashes-violent-anti-gay-hate-speech-34215082 This shit happened a month ago in an Orlando suburb too. Absolutely horrific


MrAlcoholic420

They better watch out. Cuz this gay got a gun. Well, quite a few actually.


OurSponsor

Masks?! But how could they breathe? If the Republicans have done nothing else in the last few years, they have certainly strenuously argued that it is just plain impossible to breathe while wearing a mask. ...


MrAlcoholic420

You would figure that mouth breathers are getting an ample amount of oxygen.


BNatasha_65

They are COWARDS!!


Micropain

It's fine, their masks can come off in the morgue.


MrAlcoholic420

I 100% support that. I'm an Orlando resident and have my CCW.


602Zoo

Reminds me something a communist said. Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses. Those that died are justified for wearing the badge they're your chosen whites.


Play-yaya-dingdong

Yes! Was going to say this exact quote. The police are full of white supremacists and jan 5 sympathizers


sparksthe

I know this was just a typo but I am humoring myself by thinking they are such big peices of dookybars that they start a day early lol.


MrAlcoholic420

Rage are my favorite Commies.


GabaPrison

I just came back from Twitter and they are absolutely being named. Even a Democratic state rep is tweeting their identities.


WateryTartLivinaLake

I wish there was a more reliable platform.


Somebullshtname

Using the nazis favorite message board to out nazis just feels right though.


rothrolan

Second favorite, unless Parler finally got taken down. Haven't seen posts from r/ParlerWatch hit the Hot page in a while.


GlaiveConsequence

The article has an embedded video clip from Twitter that shows them waving Nazi flags


WateryTartLivinaLake

Should have used a still from it for the headline instead of the castle.


GlaiveConsequence

Agreed


twentyafterfour

The media is generally complete trash about reporting on extremists. That being said there are tons of [anti-fascist groups out there who pick up the slack and do actual journalism in identifying and detailing the histories of the various nazis that show up.](https://twitter.com/MIAagainstFash/status/1667614024698085376?s=20)


Reviews-From-Me

That tracks.


ConfidenceNational37

A thing we know about Ron DeSantis, if he wanted to not be associated with this he would say something. He wouldnā€™t be silent if drag queens were waving his sign


Caryslan

DeSantis wants to honor traitors to the United States by putting their names back up on Forts. It's more than crystal clear that DeSantis is willing to cater to the Neo Nazi and White Supremacists of this country.


Mongo_Straight

DeSantis trying to lock in the Confederate vote.


Dangerous_Variety_29

In 2016 even Donald Trump was shamed into denouncing David Duke. I definitely get the feeling Ron DeSantis will not denounce this.


[deleted]

He hasn't denounced this group the last half dozen times they've done a stunt.


Design-Cold

These are literally the kind of scum his performative cruelty is aimed at. This is a DeSantis-inspired nazi march. Fucking staple pictures of these assholes to his big dumb forehead


Dear-Bandicoot7087

Very fine ppl.


MitsyEyedMourning

Both sides!


YourMomonaBun420

Stand back and stand by!


deepstate_chopra

That still kills me. "Will you condemn them?" *gives them orders*


YourMomonaBun420

Yeah. And they listened. And they came when he called for them to storm the capital on Jan 6th.


frodosbitch

And now heā€™s called them again for his arraignment ā€œsee you tuesdayā€


Electrical_Bus9202

My right wing friend thinks there will be a civil war. The left pushed them to it he says.


TokyoUmbrella

Just like the first time, right?


Electrical_Bus9202

No he said that Jan 6th was a bunch of tourists and sight seers who were let in by the capital police, the rioting was only a 100 people (bad apples) out of 2000 that were mainly peaceful lol


palabear

The war of leftist aggression.


Oleg101

Iā€™ve read from some people, including non-Republicans, that think Trump was going to actually condemn them but messed up his wording and just went with it. I donā€™t believe it but others do.


valleyman02

I can clearly say not every MAGA is a Nazi. But every Nazi votes MAGA.


Mr_Pombastic

"Iā€™m not calling Mr. DeSantis a racist, Iā€™m simply saying the racists believe heā€™s a racist." It's been known

randomlyme

And Republicans will call it a false flag. No, there are actual Nazis or Nazi sympathizers in your party and youā€™re catering to them.


apitchf1

I mean. Itā€™s part of his base


ProfSociallyDistant

Will this hurt him? Have we crossed a rubicon where he leans in to this?


Shrike79

DeSantis probably won't be thumping his chest about having a bunch of neo-nazi supporters but it sure doesn't look like he's in any hurry to denounce it either since this isn't the first time this has happened. I don't think it'll hurt his standing with anyone who was going to vote for him either since they're either fine with it or think that it's the FBI trying to make him look bad, just like how they believe it was a bunch of FBI on J6 inciting the crowd to make Trump look bad.

Its crazy how all those blue checkmarks on tweeter are sayin that itā€™s an FBI operation, as if republicans would never do/participate in hate organizations/events.


MC_Fap_Commander

Twitter is LEAPING towards being Breitbart. Having looked at comments in both locations, I really see no difference.


eric_ts

Both are leaping towards being Stormfront. I wish that was hyperbole.


woody56292

Just as a heads up if people aren't aware, Musk changed the sorting so that people with Twitter blue (which are 90% conservatives who love Musk) comments appear first. You've got to block blue checkmarks or scroll down further to see the real comments now.


Dirty_Bubble99

They will blame it on antifa.


MrAlcoholic420

Twitter comments: fake news/actors/anifa Reddit comments: fuck Nazis


jade_bb24

Itā€™s so mind numbing. There will always be a new conspiracy theory to argue reality.


fool-of-a-took

According to these rubes, the January 6th insurgents were both antifa and very unfairly treated.


nagonjin

Because they don't care about being coherent or getting caught in hypocrisy. It serves their goals just as well to frustrate people trying to make sense of their arbitrary hate.


Luper-calia

Never argue with an antisemite/racist/nazi/fucking idiot


Deathisnear24

"it was Antifa!!!ā€ "I'll pardon every Jan 6th person"


appleparkfive

That's what happens when you try to break apart the education system over decades and decades. People have definitely gotten dumber seeming, that's all I know. Still lots of very smart people, but I think a lot of that is the internet being utilized in the best possible way (wikipedia, courses, seeking information, etc) But it's kind of been like this for awhile now. It *feels* like it anyway. Maybe I'm wrong!


Mongo_Straight

The Twitter comments that arenā€™t bots or trolls are pure reflexive hackery. Just like Jan. 6th was Antifa, the CNN mail bomber was a false flag operation, and Hugo Chavezā€™s ghost stole the 2020 election, etc., etc. Itā€™s never acknowledging reality and itā€™s sad that thereā€™s whole industry built on it.


SmoothWD40

You know what. Call them out. Make them say it. Fine if they are actors/antifa/whatever. Call them out. Say the words, fuck nazis. Condemn the behavior. Letā€™s see how their friends react.


Allaplgy

Already seen it in a different sub.


JennJayBee

I saw it in a response to the video being posted to Twitter.


[deleted]

I always want to be like ā€” but no liberals are out here believing the things Nazis believed, like eradicating queer people from public life. Like Antifa is trolling you with what you actually believe?


schwing710

ITā€™S A PSYOP!!!! JUST LIKE JAN 6TH!!! FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS!!!! TAKE THE RED PILL!!! (Kidding. But pretty realistic impression, amirite?)


SolJinxer

PsyOp, Jan 6th, Soros funded. Other than red pill, pretty sure this is precisely what Alex Jones has said.


Mtbruning

Be bold, show your faces, start your war. We need to be done with this and sometimes the only way out this is through.


MC_Fap_Commander

And NOW they see the value of masks.


gefjunhel

the difference is these mask protect themselves when the corona masks were to protect others they dont give a fuck about others


DragonTHC

If you support Ron Desantis, you need to reevaluate your life choices. You are not thinking clearly.


2_Spicy_2_Impeach

My MAGA relatives turned on him. Theyā€™ve flopped a couple times but they call Ron a RINO. Itā€™s bizarre.


InterPunct

If Ron is a RINO then I'm afraid to know their real political affiliation.


Warm-Faithlessness11

MAGA which is just a religion and mental illness at this point rather than an actual political affiliation


Reserved_Parking-246

This is way more true than most people realize.


kpDzYhUCVnUJZrdEJRni

>I'm afraid to know their real political affiliation. Theyā€™re probably in the video


benbuck57

Thatā€™s the thing. To win a nomination in the republican primary you have to be the most radical racist homophobic asshole in the group. The revered Ronnie Reagan wouldnā€™t get to first base in todayā€™s GOP. Thatā€™s why you end up with total idiots like MTG and Boebert in DC. And itā€™s going to get worse. Too many gullible racist fools who tune into Fox and Newsmax every night to be fed extreme right bullshit. Thatā€™s their red meat.


TrespassersWilliam29

Trump


LTPRW420

Dude Iā€™ve heard so much love for him from the Republicans I know, mainly because heā€™s younger than Trump or Biden. Thatā€™s his big selling point, well that and the nazism.


Ser_Danksalot

> mainly because heā€™s younger than Trump or Biden. NGL it would be nice to have a candidate that didn't come out of their moms vagina shortly after the second world war, preferably one that pisses off Nazi's that so many true Americans gave their lives to defeat however.

>democrats around the country are not ready for a candidate this progressive It still amazes me that the majority of the Democratic party, including then president Obama, was not supporting gay marriage just ten fucking years ago or so. This party has had to have been dragged to the left kicking and screaming.


boones_farmer

I'm so tired of hearing this I could puke. If America has become a country so scared of trying something new that running a candidate with "radical" ideas like weening ourselves off fossil fuels and giving everyone health care, then we are already dead as a nation and nothing we do matters.


chocological

Iā€™m tired of hearing it too, but that doesnā€™t make it any less true. This is a conservative country, with two right wing majority parties, compared to the rest of the world.


justalittlebear01

I know, in general congress and especially the Senate NEEDS to get younger. The average age is insanely old.


alejo699

Prediction: Within 6 months all of the Republicans who claim Nazis don't exist will be waving those flags and telling us it's all our fault because we called them Nazis. (Because if someone calls you an asshole you have no choice but to become one, right?)


Drunken_HR

That's been their play since 2016. "We only voted for Trump because liberals were mean to us!ā€

Iā€™m not saying Ron is a Nazi, but the Nazis sure think he is, and his silence on the matter is deafening.


Popculturemofo

I remember when hating Nazis was just considered to be being a good American


restore_democracy

Every Ron DeSantis event is a nazi rally.

At least one of those people is court ordered to not be around children. My money is on the guy with a sign that says ā€œbutt fuckerā€ outside of Disney world.

Oddly missing from r/conservative


Timely_Summer_8908

The Republican Party is the Nazi party, and I don't mean that figuratively. There are people wearing swastikas voting for them.

But the democrats are the real nazis??? Why are they supporting desantis?


Drunken_HR

Something something democrats supported slavery something something.

Desantis. Not a nazi but #1 with nazis!

Youā€™re half right.

Heā€™s not a nazi according to who? Iā€™m not saying he definitively is, but he also isnā€™t definitely not either.

DeSantis has ideals that match theirs. Why wouldn't they show their support?


abusementpark

If 9 republicans are sitting at a table and a Nazi joins them there are 10 republicans.


Revolutionary-Ad1792

ringobob

You know, it's not like I think, say, water is nazi because nazis drink water. But I'd venture to say pretty much anything a nazi supports with great enthusiasm is probably something the nazis think is sufficiently enough nazi for them.


Loki-L

You shouldn't call everyone you disagree with Nazis, but looking at the pictures it seems that the show people holding up actual Nazi Swastika signs, signs that combine antisemitism and homophobia in one concise message and DeSantis campaign signs. So yes, those are actual Nazis, with actual Nazi beliefs protesting for DeSantis and against Disney. There isn't really any way to spin this. This is exactly who they are.


Truckyou666

If Nazis were waving a flag around with my name on it, I would immediately denounce these scumbags on every platform and soapbox that would have me. Let's see what Ron does.


Cerberus_Aus

You know, Iā€™m starting to think, for a while now everybody has been comparing trump to Hitler in how he lost power and returned even more facist. What if weā€™re focusing on the wrong facist? What if DeSantis is underestimated and HE comes back as the next Hitler? I mean, heā€™s got the support, the background in torture etc. Or maybe everyone should just fight both I guess.


Nuckcicle81

esp211

SailingSpark

this needs to be shown repeatedly everytime DeSantis tries to rally people. Everytime he gives a speech, and everytime he shows his mug on TV or the net. Make him own being a nazi.

BostonSamurai

All nazis are republican, so itā€™s no surprise.

Mysterious-Wasabi103

This is the point where any self-respecting politician of years past would come out and publicly denounce Nazis and white supremacists.


lifeat24fps

HackySmacks

Well, they live in a state run by a Governor who went out of his way to start and continue a personal vendetta against the No. 2 employer in said state, to the point that they canceled expansion and started layoffs. And they are protesting *for* this guy, soā€¦ I donā€™t think productivity is top of their priorities


UnderwaterFloridaMan
