Michael_W   11 #73 Posted August 29, 2017 Being anti fascist should be the default position for every normal person. ---------- Post added 29-08-2017 at 22:18 ----------   The paradox of tolerance   Why insult people who are against nazi's though, are you a nazi supporter?  I know a lot of people who can't stand the Antifa mob, the problem in this country is that the default action of any extreme leftist is to label any right leaning person a Nazi, many of these people are supposed to be educated and middle class but seem to be more brainwashed, hateful and intolerant as any so called right winger I know !  ---------- Post added 29-08-2017 at 23:12 ----------  Being anti-extremist should be the default position for every normal person.  Correct Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

We just need to accept that they exist, monitor them and ensure they don't flourish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Halibut   12 #75 Posted August 29, 2017 Being anti-extremist should be the default position for every normal person.  Opposing fascism isn't an extreme position. People who claim it is tend to be fascists.  ---------- Post added 29-08-2017 at 23:51 ----------  What's oo mean. In Germany neo navies aren't even allowed to show swazikas or shout at rallies. The snowflakes can shout though. Which is a strange dichotomy. Who are the fascist?  They're the ones who idolise Hitler and bang on about white power.

People who claim it is tend to be fascists.  That depends upon how you oppose it: if you seek them out for a lynchin', then that would be an extreme position.  They're the ones who idolise Hitler and bang on about white power. No, those are Nazis. Possibly fascists as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Which is a strange dichotomy. Who are the fascist?  Hmmm . . . I would've thought Ze Germanese would have a very good idea of who the fascists really are, given the countries, how can I say, colourful history.  It can't be much of a day out for the Neo Nazis, if they can't express their hatred as loudly and as vulgar as possible.  Bless x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
