Look at these cowardly losers. They wanted to murder people for wearing masks to keep from spreading a deadly plague, but today they are too cowardly to show their faces at an event where they are the heroes. That's how you know that even they understand that what they're doing is wrong, and they want to hide their identity in case they eventually lose, and then have to answer for their treason.

The heat index in DC touched 115 yesterday. I love that these assholes would have been melting under their hoods.

"Are you guys in like a secret club? I like your uniforms they're cute. You look like low-budget power rangers."

Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

Oh look, everyone. A couple of dandelions mascarading as tough guys.

No big breaths, snowflakes melt easily.

Death to fascists.

In light of the popularity of these images in response to their stunt, I'd like so share this. It discusses the Australian neo-Nazi equivalent org (the totally-for-real disbanded National Socialist Network), but the message is universal.

https://thewhiterosesociety.writeas.com/9-principles-for-journalists-reporting-on-neo-nazis

So let's talk about Patriot Front:

  • Leader is a trust fund kid
  • Their messaging server and other comms were repeatedly hacked
  • They unwittingly hired an antifascist to be their official photographer, which needless to say, allowed activists to gather evidence and resulted in multiple PF members losing their jobs, and attempting to sue as a result (Plaintiffs Paul Gancarz, Daniel Turetchi, Colton Brown, James Johnson, and Amelia Johnson vs. David Alan Capito II)
  • Antifascists have repeatedly ambushed them, including locating their secret car park where they hopped into a U-Haul to go to a rally
  • There are videos of them getting beaten into retreat in Philly when they tried to march
  • There are videos of the Proud Boy fascists attacking up PF-splinter members ('Rose City Nationalists') and ripping off their balaclavas
  • There was an incident where a regional leader "spent the money on drugs" [source: a neo-Nazi drama podcast called The Absolute State of White Nationalism]
  • They so poorly planned an action against an antifascist neighborhood, that when retreating, a member almost got hit by a train [same source]
  • They stopped allowing women when two of three woman members snitched (one of them cheating on a member first) [same source]
  • They stopped allowing teenagers to join (still grooming them, they just can't officially join) due to a 'homosexual femboy' incident, whatever that means [same source]
  • Their training videos show such incompetence that they literally can't turn the correct direction when marching [you can find their training videos on the Patriot Fail leak]
  • At least former one member, when identified as Dillon Oakes, tried to snitch on their org and pretend they were undercover the whole time - "While we do work with former white nationalists who sincerely want to leave the movement, Nazis who pretend to have never been Nazis to escape consequences do not qualify."

Plenty more, might add some more in replies. They're a serious issue, make no mistake, but there are far better jabs to make than "they wear masks and conservatives don't - gotcha!"

Sounds like the same wack ass shit that was going on before the Nazis rose to the top of the shit heap in Germany. The Nazis came out of a cesspool situation just like this with rival gangs splintering and reforming and fighting amongst each other until they were distilled into the Nazi party we know and hate today under a charismatic leader.

There is a great book on much of this I recommend:

Whenever I see Socialist used by morobic organizations that obviously don't understand what socialism actually means it makes me want to will smith that name out of their mouth -_-

Welp.

The Watchmen HBO show got this part nearly 100% correct.

These fucks did another rally in DC.

"Life! Liberty! Victory!"

You know, with just a few Confederate flags mixed in there.

Klan's back, in force, looks to me.

Sherman really shoulda killed the fuck out of even more of these bastards' grandpappies... we still got a lot of trash to take out, a lot of vineyards to trample.

Guess we get to do this all over again, then.

For a long time I wondered why nothing seems to piss me off more than a racist white man, despite myself being a white man.

... found out it runs in my blood.

I'm descended from an abolitionist pastor that moved to Kansas and to start a free church and town... who more likely than not at least once crossed paths with John Brown.

Or, maybe I'm just not an evil son of a bitch.

We found it: the situation in which people are standing on public transportation and you’re sitting next to an empty seat without moving over, but you’re not the asshole

Ain't possible to be impolite to a fascist or a klansman.

Scum sucking shitheels deserve less than nothing.

Cowards hiding their faces. If what they are doing is so justified then why hide from scrutiny?

I think these are the same worms strutting down the street in DC right now. They are so ashamed they hide their faces it would appear.

[–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 45 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

I thought they were PROUD boys?

If you are all such big macho manly men and proud of what you are doing, then why dont you show your pudgy bitch-boy face?

Are they the group who split from the Peoples Front of Patriotism?

Or am i thinking of the Patriot Peoples Front?

Or, even worse, the Peoples Patriotic Front?
