An American tourist suffered minor injuries in the German city of Dresden on Saturday morning after he was punched and beaten for repeatedly giving Nazi salutes. German police are investigating the man for violating the country’s post-1945 laws that ban the use of Nazi symbols.
Authorities are also looking for the assailant, who apparently was passing by a cafe in the eastern Neustadt district of Dresden when he witnessed the American man’s gestures and attacked him. The incident took place at 8:15 a.m. local time, police said.

As I said on FB earlier: "I like to imagine the local police chief (or whatever) taking the officers responsible for investigating the assault - finding the attacker - aside and saying, basically, "don't wear yourselves out.""

I mean...denunciation of KKK violence is one of the easiest slam dunks as a politician, Donnie - maybe if you weren't afraid of stepping on your newfound Third Reich friends you wouldn't have fucked it up *shrug*

I imagine he realises that the cushion his approval rating is sitting on is...ambiguous about white supremacists.

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.

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
