Know your nazi

This is good advice on it's face, but what if you're living in a country full of Nazis?
Like, let's say - hypothetically - the cops are Nazis. And all your mass media is full of Nazi agitprop. And friends and family are periodically repeating Nazis talking points. And you are feeling increasingly isolated by the sheer madness of the outside world.
Hypothetically, of course.
- "What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy?" - Ursula K. Le Guin
  Have you considered moving?
  
  Sadly, I'm an English speaker so I'm very limited in my options.
- Tbh, if that's the case then, I will just join in a Marxist group that is serious about arm resistance. I'm too poor to move out anyway.
- Complain about it online and hope someone else does something about it, as far as I can tell.
- You know what's crazy? People who are Nazis would say exactly this about the "Woke" Society. They see no difference in accepting Trans people and killing minorities. Just take a sharp look at the conservative narrative.
  "Green Fascist's with woke ideology" to what about their way of live.
  
  People who are Nazis would say exactly this about the “Woke” Society.
  It reminds me of the left/right split during the Iranian Revolution. Folks love to post pictures of "Before 1979" with the wealthy kids of the industrial elites dressed like EU/US fashionistas. Iranian progressives saw this as a privilege of the elites that shouldn't be exclusive to the upper end of society. Iranian conservatives saw it as a symptom of elitism that shouldn't be permitted at any tier of society.
  After the revolution, conservative Iranians (very briefly) aligned with conservative Americans, as the Ayatollah and the Reagan/Thatcher governments aligned on this idea of regressive religious anti-Communism. But then Iran didn't open itself back up as a western gas station, so the American white supremacists and the Iranian Islamic supremacists fell back into conflict again.
  Then it was just two ultra-orthodox conservative groups screaming "Woke Decadent Radicals!" at one another, while everyone around them were ground to paste by the slew of wars to follow.

That last line needs to be in all caps at the top. Never call the cops on Nazis, it'll just mean more Nazis putting the boot in.
- This is like basic common sense that is drilled into you from a young age if you're not white.
  Got a problem and you call the cops? Now you've got two problems.
  
  I'm white and even as a kid I felt unsafe around cops. As early as maybe 13 I'd reached this conclusion on my own.
  I'm not sure what took everyone else the extra few decades.
- To be honest, this is the most disappointing and depressing line.

This is so goddamn exhausting.
Thirty years ago I was reading poorly photostatted (sic) fliers at the local record shop explaining the difference between Nazis with red shoelaces and Nazis with yellow shoelaces. It was exhausting then, too. They're all basic bitch Nazis. Treat them the same way you would treat a potentially harmful arthropod, like a scorpion. You don't have to be a fucking entomologist to understand this shit.
Shun the Nazi. Leave it alone. Don't ask for help from Nazis.

Gotcha. Summary:
Group name: Some shit that 12-year-olds would be embarrassed to use as a gang name, but surprise, the guy who came up with this shit was 60+ or something
Ideology: The same ol' shit, you've heard it all before
Identifiers: Well, this kind of shit, they kind of stick out from the crowd
What to do: The usual
- So, the plan is "the usual": continue to minimize the threat and ignore it.
- in other words either a middle age or a general identity crisis.

TIL Best Buy employees are part of the Patriot Front.
- I knew they had it out for Radio Shackers, it just took them a while to admit it.

i think it's important to note that "1488" especially the 88 is a Nazi dog whistle.

So many 3% stickers on cars around my area
- Should give them a 3% brick through the back window. /s
  
  3% not brick works better.
  
  Using the ceramic piece of a spark plug as the "bullet" and just about any sort of sling will break the cars windows without setting off most car alarms.
- Everyone of the people I know who have the sticker/tattoo aren't Nazis, they are big into guns and tend to be anti-government though.
  Three percent is from the population% that supported the American revolution at its inception, at least that's what I've understood of it.
  I'm sure there are plenty of Nazis that also claim to be 3%ers but I've never known it to be a Nazi thing, maybe they have tried to claim it.
  Similar to the OK hand sign I will never see it as a symbol of nazism/white supremacy.
  Most of those stickers aren't Nazis
  
  If you see 6 people at a table happily socializing with 1 Nazi, you're actually looking at 7 Nazis.
  3%'s had no problems marching with Nazis on J6, or at Charlottesville. Fuck 'em.

I thought we had all agreed that we punch nazis? LIke was this not the agreed apon reaction. If you had something more dangerous than a fist I would say you could use that... but this feels overly cowardly
- how many nazis have you punched
  
  It has been a while, but it used to happen around once a week a back in the day. They used to show up to music venues they weren't wanted at, and if made to leave, would start fights. If they were returning from a place they got the boot from, they would just poor in and start fighting. If it wasn't a place they could just enter, they would congregate outside.
  
  For legal reasons I am not sure I should state the amount of fist fights I have been in on the internet
  
  Several for sure. Back in my 20's at parties and punk shows. Nazi punks fuck off!!
  
  I have indeed punched nazis.
  I was involved in martial arts for nearly two decades, I attended many tournaments in that time. I don't make any claims of being an amazing fighter but I was able to hold my own and I can really take a hit.
  There is a huge spectrum of tournaments out there. Some of these venues were far less strict than others, and basically let in anyone who was good at faking being from an actual karate school, because some hosts just cared about collecting entry fees. This was a long ass time ago, I have no idea if it's still like this now.
  So there were almost inevitably a scattering of delusional psychopaths who just wanted to fight, from gang-members to college kids who watched Bruce Lee films so many times they thought they knew how to fight. And of course a few tattoo-plastered biker types who were able to set aside their ego enough to actually put on a gi and follow tournament etiquette. (Love those black belts that are so stiff you can tell they've never been worn before that day.)
  So it's easy enough to see things like hate symbols tattooed on some people's chests or arms. I am proud to say that I have gone against some of these chucklefucks and hit them hard enough that they fell down and had a hard time getting back up. One just left after the first hard kick to the nuts. Fortunately (and unfortunately) the same kinds of tournaments that let just anyone in also seemed really lax about enforcing "light contact" rules and people were routinely just smashing each other as hard as possible, and why I eventually stopped doing tournaments.
- Never fly solo
- Individual violence only in defense of self and others. For violence against an ideology one should organize better than the enemy.
  If you don't know how then study the unions. They'll likely lead us, once again.
- If you had something more dangerous than a fist I would say you could use that… but this feels overly cowardly
  Na dawg. This is why I carry. I have a bad back so I'm not fucking around like that.
  I need the Nazi to make the first move anyway.

Pussy as Nazis hiding their faces. Be a man, show your face, so someone can throw a brick at it.

Nice. Good looking out.

Regarding the "What to do..." section, Be careful about point #2. The person in charge might be a nazi that invited other nazis.
- #2 should also specify that you should say something like "There are gang affiliated people here, as evidenced by [these specifiers]" rather than saying "There's nazis!!" People aren't going to take you as seriously if you say nazi rather than organized crime...

Is it still acceptable to wear a S.H.A.R.P. patch? Don't they have a Spartan helmet on it?

Where’s the elephant in the room?

"Blue shirt khaki pants" is the average Walmart worker uniform, or used to be, probably represents at least a million laborers in the US. Don't think this chart is very helpful in that quadrant.

How to spot a nazi: nazi salute, shouts racial slurs. Man you learn every day something new.

Interesting, just to check, do you know from where the term Nazi (National Socialist) came from?
- From the same intellectual honesty that "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" comes from.
  "Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words."
  — Jean-Paul Sartre
- I know I don't like your post history.
  
  I think nobody really cares what you think any more.
- They are the ones doing iron cross and swastika tattoos and giving heil hitler salutes. What to call them?
  
  I would call them socialist with hard sense for nationalism. It's kind of extreme left, something like Woke movement this days.
