I'm not referring to frequency. The point is "Nazi" is often used for the same reason as "racist" - to shout down an opposing viewpoint without debate.

You got butt fucked in that thread, so it's best we all forget it.

Nazis are a threat making threatening speech.

If i was a Jew and ten Nazis came marching down the street chanting 'Kill all the Jews' could I take that as a potential dangerous situation and fear for my safety?

At least 5 people in that thread posted that your dumb ass thought was beyond even responding to. Like they seriously pondered whether I was aruging a straw man, as no one would be that dense. Do you know how stupid you have to be to go beneath CFMB response worthy?


Anyway, my guy HawaiiYou loves you, so you have that going for you.

Only if you count FavreFan and yourself. Twice.

You don't even have to go that far. As a Jew, if I even saw one Nazi walking down the street not even saying a word I would feel threatened and fear for my safety. Anyone who says that is an unreasonable fear is an idiot.

I guess I could just act like a Polish person when seeing a Nazi and simply open the front door and welcome them in. You probably think "blitzkrieg" is German for "just visiting"

Not protected. Just punctuated poorly.

It might not be a question of fear. I think the issue depends on the circumstances. How would said Nazi know you light the menorah? If he did know that, and if there were a history of attacks here, and if he had a pattern of following you or others, maybe that could possibly be considered a threat. Without the "Kill all Jews," and in the US, I dunno.

I think this situation does occur and the law gets involved (or should get involved) by protecting people.

I hate to see these people make end-runs around the law, like the guy in Cape Fear.

As a Jew, simply being a Nazi implies the "kill all Jews" message. Some things don't need to be said.

I think in this context, in this country, it does need to be said for it to be considered a threat. Fear is a different issue.

zero historical support for that

They may have defended poorly they did fight.

why would a polish guy walking down the street next to a Brit and a Frenchie be afraid of a Nazi?

I dont have a problem with any singular incident really, but if this becomes the way we deal with things, its problematic.


People will inevitably have different ideas of where the JUSTIFIABLY PUNCHABLE line is.

Just like with the cops, do whatever you need to as long as you "fear for your safety". Right JLN?

Nazi's took Poland without firing a shot. The Poles all had their guns pointing in the wrong direction.

I agree. It's not even close to being near that level yet though. Antifa is awful but it's a bad idea to pretend their views have gone mainstream.


Scenario for you: A Nazi in the full nazi get up is in public yelling a bunch of hateful nazi shit. A CFMBer runs up and punches him out, and then runs away. You turning the CFMBer in?

I would say you will have to, because it wont always be a Nazi. It'll be some oppressor labeled a shitlord by a Quad City Pat type.

Is it Rick?

You know that the qualifier in these situations is "reasonable". Saying you fear for your safety because of an arm band or overt political affiliation is most assuredly unreasonable.
