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.

    Sorry, didn’t mean to downplay that; my point is more that if you’re a gigantic loser and you have to get up and yell about how there are actually lots of other gigantic losers just like you, that’s not exactly coming from a position of strength.

    (but yes, the classic Onion article on the subject of Nazi cops is not inaccurate)

      It is though - he’s empowered and encouraged to do it by the system, he literally has the full power of the state behind him.

      Shouldn’t be since it’s literally “us vs the whole other human race”, but the dog whistles from our politicians and media (mostly funded by a few select rich folk) have shifted down into normal human hearing range lately and now they’re just shouting stochastic terrorism from the highest platform they can find.
