okay, it is happening in boston, they just don't have a permit.

this is a comprehensive report of public confederate symbols (monuments, schools, parks, etc) in the united states, and also includes a handy index at the end with a state-by-state breakdown:

how did it become possible to take clowns styling themselves as "BasedStickMan" and "Augustus Invictus" half-way seriously?

When rich Twitter troll "BasedApprenticeMan" took over the Republican party and then became President.

haha

The whole "Based Stickman" thing reminds me of the conversations we had years ago about whether white kids were flipping out over Lil B genuinely or ironically.

Yeah...

I've heard of at least one Boston show that's been moved from downtown because of "other events" in the area on Saturday. Blech.

But, as my Lyft driver pointed out yesterday, at least MA is not an open-carry state. The silver linings of 2017, man...

damn, dude

where do republicans end and nazis begin?

the buffet line at a Presbyterian church

ok lol

I don't think most Republians are neo-nazis. Trump seems like a fellow traveller though!

Watching the Vice footage for the first time now. These people are so young wtf

The nazis that is

Just got accused of virtue signaling by someone on Facebook, I feel like I've really arrived now.

the alt-left??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

These people are so young wtf

I keep flashing on this thing that happened to a younger friend of mine a few years ago. He was dating this college student who was a little younger than him (iirc, she was 19 or 20), and who was mixed race (Polish-Hispanic). She had to read Mein Kampf for a class. She got really into it, and starting having arguments with him and others about how--Holocaust aside--Hitler was really progressive.

Needless to say, he dumped her pretty quickly after that. Also pretty sure she's a red-hatter now.

We should allow abortion until the fetus reaches the age of 25.

A lot of those dudes looked like average college students.. not meathead brawlers OR 4chan shut ins. This shouldn't be shocking to me but it was.

now now let's not judge nazis by their appearance

can't judge a Reich by its Furher

A+

self-selection. the meathead brawlers all got stuck at a Hooters on the way to C'ville and the shut ins never made it out the door.

the cover story in the September issue of Harper's by Seyward Darby is really good. she interviews a bunch of prominent women on the alt-right. everyone she talks to makes no sense, contradicts themselves, and are easily flustered. good story!

where do republicans end and nazis begin?

america is racist as fuc and i'm sure there are a lot of people who don't want to see confederate 'heritage' discarded, but . . . nazis? i mean straight up people carrying nazi flags and chanting about jews and blood and soil?

i'd like to think that's fucking finally a step too far, but maybe i'm wrong. apparently it's not too much for paul ryan

hey come on now Ryan said some *very* strong words

before putting Trump's dick back in his mouth

the anti-trump logo thing is stupid tbh, plain old swastika is more impactful and it's not like the problem is limited to one powerful dumbass

A lot of those dudes looked like average college students.. not meathead brawlers OR 4chan shut ins. This shouldn't be shocking to me but it was.

what you have to understand is that college students almost never have ideas when they get to college and they are very emotional and typically kind of dumb

idk, i feel like 'nazis are bad' is an idea that's been pretty strong and well-distributed for the last 80 years or so

i don't doubt that they're dumb/emotional, but it takes a little extra to chant 'jews will not replace us'

it gets passed down generation to generation a lot too, esp in the South. doesn't matter if the racist beliefs are more benign when presented to kids, there's always someone who can take that seed and push them where their parents/grandparents resisted going. esp in college.

for example, the older dude who oversaw the horrific beating in the Charlottesvile parking lot - 2 or 3 of these dudes have been ID'd as well as him, he got kicked out of the military for stealing guns and giving them to the KKK (see Shaun King tweets)
