White Nationalist/Neo-Nazi Recruitment Rally

[The Good Reverend Roger]

In nazi eyes im not white.

Im a jew.

Hanging out with Nazis.

Your ancestors would be SO proud.

[IPunchNazis]

Don't be friends with nazis. End of story.

It's impossible

[IPunchNazis]

and should be illegal

[Aucoq]

It's like watching someone try to guess my password based on what he sees lying around in my office.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Just to me it seems dumb to blindly hate people. I've stumbled my way through many social groups and even if they are a neo nazi or an ancap getting applebees and talking about shared interest is always a positive experiance.

I can't condone being a Nazi, but I can support being a person. Which means no matter how fucked up you are theres events in your life that lead you to being who you are. Im not going to invalidate someomes truama or joy because of what they call themselfs and I'm not going to only see them for what they call themself. I'm going to see the complexity in every human, look at the out come, look at the label, and go "well fuck, thats complicated and I'm a simple person, played any good games recently?"

The only people I can't enjoy time spent with are the people who are completely consumed by one thing. And yes, I have gotten in drunk fights with Nazis over polotics, but in the morning  we both apologize and realize not everything is about polotics.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present: "What privilege looks like".

Willfully blind privilege, at that.

I'd argue it's not just privilege in action, if Meunster is to be believed about his Jewish heritage. I'm sure there's a word for it, but its the thing where women say they're "not like other girls" and ally themselves with sexist men. "Uncle Tom" behavior in black people. There is always an appetite among the oppressors or would-be oppressors for allies among the groups they want to "keep in their place," and the promise of being counted among the "good" blacks/jews/women/whatever is enough for some to fall for it.

So, a little internalized antisemitism to go with the privilege of being treated like a human being because he passes for white.

Yeah, that sounds right.

Dan burros anyone?

Hey all, haven't been here for a minute.
This thread took a fun twist.

Being jewish and being friends with nazis reminds me of Milo. Every time he was accused of being a total piece of shit and associating with completely reprehensible people, he would say, "no, they aren't all evil, they accept a gay jew who supports miscegenation!"

Unfortunately, I was looking at my schedule, and not only does this date fall on my birthday, it also falls during the week in which I will have to take law school exams :/. Do I risk missing an exam in law school to participate in an event which could lead to my arrest or an injury? These are all difficult questions...

Also, this is a small town the event is taking place in, and the only park in town has been rented by a group holding an anti-nazi rally. However! they are planning on banning all people who use divisive political speech or use vulgar language in the park! The anti-fascist rally is being run by fascists, and so therefore the only place to demonstrate will be on sidewalks and in the street where there is a dramatically increased likelihood of being targeted by police.
