Members of white supremacist and antisemitic hate groups marched outside Orlando, Florida, on Saturday screaming invectives, raising the Nazi salute, and yelling “Heil Hitler” and “white power.”
“We are everywhere!” neo-Nazis can be heard shouting in a video shared by former Florida House of Representatives member Anna V. Eskamani. Later in the footage, they yelled, “Heil Hitler” while performing a Nazi salute.
The headline doesn’t surprise me, they are correct after all.
What I find more notable is that there is no indication of an anti-fascist presence. That’s about all that keeps them in check in many other places. (The twitter video links were broken for me, though, so I’m just going by the text.)
Florida is full of fascists.
I wish they would all move there. And keep denying climate change.
We have plenty of airlift capacity not being used in the sandbox anymore. Offer a month long program where everyone who wants to leave gets relocated then…

Nice username!
Same, you seem like a frood with a firm grasp on a towel 👍
Never without it!
Calling your opponents fascists is a weak argument. /s
Try that inPhilly
I see lots of crazy people standing on the corner waving flags. Some are religious nutjobs, some are MAGA, and apparently some are Nazis, although I’ve yet to witness that. It’s a perk of free speech but you have to live with the consequences.
You are legally allowed to host a counter protest in a civil way, at a safe distance, but this gives them the attention that they are trying to get! They want the world to see and hear their message.
It’s generally agreed that the best thing you can do about crazy people on the street corner is ignore them and not give them any reason for media attention which is what they’re hoping for to grow their numbers.
Just look at how the Phelps family weaponized these tactics by suing countless people who attacked them or infringed their first amendment rights, drawing massive media attention.
If ignored, it’s just two dozen nutjobs yelling and waving flags while people drive by and flip them off.
It’s generally agreed the best thing you can do… is punch the nazis. Second to that, film their every step.
The law has rarely if ever been on the side of good. I understand they get to say what they want - just like counter-protesters can. I also understand that extralegal justice is more effective against fascists than… a fascist justice system!
Back on the R site I caught a ban once for saying I think it’s always a good idea to punch Nazis, like grandpa, LT Aldo Raine, and all my DS’ taught me.
I still think it’s a grand idea, spez can lick my whole asshole, and fuck off nazi punks
There is no longer a noticable difference between those groups.
