We killed nazis before, read up on history

I'm a Trump supporter btw
Some people just enjoy violence.

I'm sure there are those who were not too sad about the incident in Charlottesville.

It's all disgusting.

Even after all this time, I'm always like...they have to be trolling. People have learned this lesson already...they can't be serious.

Nope, they're serious. Most people have a hard time with objectivity, principles, and consistency. It just takes some stirring up of emotion or fear for them to abandon rational thought.

You wouldn't know it based on their politicians.

All of these idiots running around calling everyone Nazis and advocating knocking people out were not alive during WWII. I would guess most weren't alive during the Cold War. If they did they would realize how much they sound like Hitler or Stalin with the utter garbage that comes out of their mouths on the internet and social media. And 99% of these people would not be knocking anyone out in real life. I'm sure most of them haven't touched another human being in years and that's a major part of their problems.

If someone wears a swastika it marks them as one who supports genocide. My father spent four years in Austria and Germany making as many of them neutral as possible, and if he was still alive he would happily pick up where he left off. If they get punched, they should consider it a warning more than anything else.

Lots of people think communists need killing since communism has resulted in 100 million deaths. Guys like Pinochet and Franco are criticized for killing communists.

Edit:. Looks like Nepenthe beat me to this point.

Yep, that's what I thought. It's only one side that's extremist.

When there are 100 million dead, is it really any better that tens of millions of them are dead due to starvation and slavery as opposed to being actively killed via genocide. I can guess the answer and that is precisely why communism is so dangerous.

Right - because what happened elsewhere with vast world wars and political upheaval has so much relevance to a white dude wearing a armband supporting genocide in Seattle in 2017....

Some of you are really far out.

How many people has British and American Imperialism and Colonialism killed? Like the other BS here, that is water over the dam. Done.

Let's talk now. How do we want to go forward? Do we want Nazis as part of our Congress?

I'm on your side believe me. But we have to live in the real world here.

It's a violent unprovoked attack. Plain and simple.
