pigs at the No nazis in Newnan rally forcing protesters to demask at gunpoint.

these are coweta county cops.

[twee-lil-paws]

I love how the comments on this either ignore the fact that they are holding these people at fucking gunpoint (under the threat of death or serious injury) or ignore the fact that in the modern era, protecting your identity is paramount to your personal safety. Thats why people have blurred out faces and warped voices in documentaries where they are talking about things they experienced. It’s not cowardice, it’s common sense. Some of my friends were once illegally arrested by the cops, and once they had all of their personal info, we found out that the very same cops had illegally shared that info to extremist groups like the alt-right, who then showed up at their doorsteps with fucking weapons. The cops are not your friends, stop trying to justify their actions. They’ll harm/kill you just as quickly and as mercilessly as they will to any other civilian.

It is the absolute right of antifascist activists to conceal our identities from violent fascist gangs.

International news is now explaining to the whole world what “incels” are in the context of a horrific fucking mass murder and because our culture works in absolutely the worst possible way it’s probably only going to serve as a rallying cry to even creepier fuckers and we can probably expect copycat cases with increasing regularity.

[luchagcaileag]

On the plus side… maybe it’ll get people in power to start taking these fuckers seriously with their weird terroristic ramblings, since this creates a clear pattern that they really do pull this shit?

[bugzattack]

From what I heard, he was “inspired” by fucking elliot rodger. 😒

tbh, even when the elliot rodger thing happened, women had *already* been telling people that this has been a problem for a long time. And what response did we get? We got the #NotAllMen hashtag, because THAT’S the ‘important’ thing amiright? 🙄

To be entirely honest, I doubt that this tragedy; Or the next one, will cause those with power to change things to take this seriously. So far nothing has. I’m convinced more every single day that nothing ever will. 😕

Half of the people on tumblr:  “I talk pretty tough for someone with a soft, fluffy bunny heart full of feelings.” Me, unable to relate:  “I talk a lot about tolerance and understanding for someone who is always 2 seconds away from serious violence.”

Denmark Gets First Public Statue of a Black Woman, a ‘Rebel Queen’

As a challenge to the country’s collective memory, two artists unveiled a monument to a 19th-century figure who led a fiery revolt against Danish colonial rule in the Caribbean.

She helped lead an uprising that burnt down 50 plantations and most of a Danish colonial town - now Queen Mary is getting her own statue.

These are the two creators: Danish artist Jeannette Ehlers and Virgin Islands artist La Vaughn Belle.

[rejectedprincesses]

Oh, I left out two really fascinating parts!

1) The statue is based off 3D scans of the two artists, combined in the computer and then milled out.

2) They apparently based the pose in part on Huey P. Newton, leader of the Black Panther Party. Rad.

he’s very clever! he’s avoiding the bits of the fence that have nobs on them so he doesnt get hurt once he’s on the smoother upper wire he gets much less wiggly in his movements he’s very smart and i love him

[phillips-kid]

This seems very odd behavior. What benefit is there to traveling on top of the fence versus below it where it would not be exposed. I would think any bird it might be preying upon would either see or feel it coming. I would not think it would aid in heating the snake for digestion any better than the ground because there is so little surface to the wire. I’m just very curious as to why it would be doing this.

My grandparents left their home country as children when they heard the whispering of antisemitism starting in their home town. They got out and fled to America so I and future generations could be safe from persecution and mass murder. Only 2 generations ago.

And now America is becoming that country that they probably would have fled.

If you are not resisting, you are part of the problem.

And yes, I want non-Jews to reblog

[drdrunkpigeon-phd]

Except I’m sorry but it’s not is it? A couple thousand white dudes babbling about jew conspiracies is not equal to Hitler and the holocaust no matter what. A couple thousand vs a few million? Your country isn’t fucking dumb. They FOUGHT to SAVE your kind and lost tens of thousands of men in the process. How about, fucking stop making it sound like the majority is Nazi and actually do some research. Jesus fucking christ.

[socialistexan]

Funny, since the Russians freed more prison camps than the US, including Auschwitz. The US didn’t care about the camps, they cared about fighting the ally of their declared enemy, Japan. And the US almost sided with the Nazis and had a large Nazi party in our boarders all the way up until (and even a little after) we entered the war.

Also do you know how large the Nazi party was at it’s peak? Just 7% of the German population. Smaller numbers don’t mean shit when they have people that aid and abet them by saying shit like “oh don’t worry they are too few to do harm.”

“My kind” have centuries of actual oppression running through our history, we can sense when something has changed and when it’s coming (back, again), it’s in our blood. Our grandparents and great-grandparents always told us to always have a bag packed, because they were afraid this would happen. “My kind” always know they will come for us again.

Hell, this isn’t some “oversensitive Tumblrina sjw” thing, here’s an actual Auschwitz survivor: “I see men, hatred on their faces, with torches in parades and screaming, just like the Nazis did to us years ago. I see torture and violence and swastikas and I was brought back to the worst moments of my life. I couldn’t believe they were speaking English, that this was in Charlottesville. I thought this nightmare was in the past, way in the past.“

[gaylor-moon]

Offense but why does literally every dude that says stuff like “oh they’re not actually Real Nazis” “oh so you call everyone you disagree w/ a Nazi” like why are you all so hilariously uneducated and unable to see things as they are? Literally none of them have ever known what they’re even fucking talking about lmao

Most comments that call Trump Hitler are referring to 1933 Hitler, when he first ran for office and later seized power, who drew an enormous euphoric fan following based on hating a particular religious group and a political slogan that roughly translates to Make Germany Great Again. His solution to Jewish people started with encouraging them to emigrate, identification tags, then moving them to the Jewish Ghettos “to be monitored” and eventually to more secure concentration camps. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE was mentioned by Trump or his closest allies as a solution for the “problem” of Muslims in America during his campaign. It took Hitler until January 1940 to authorize the Final Solution, which started the death camps as an official government policy. How much do you think Trump could do to Muslims in about 7 years if given the chance, all before any organized killings begin.

Similarly, the Nazi Party in the early 1930’s was just thought of as a joke, a few angry people due to the bad economy (to the level which would make the Great Recession we just experienced look like a cloudy day) and the need to place the blame for that on a particular group of people. The Nazis gradually grew their support base until they had about 30% support while those in the middle were divided, actually giving them 50% support and allowing them to do whatever they wanted. Germany rapidly went from probably the most liberal place in the world in the 1920’s to becoming the most hateful and murderous place a decade later.

When non-Jewish people try to speak over Jewish people I throw up in my mouth a little and hope they get mono

[saltandlimes]

Also, sorry (but actually not at all) to add to the pile on, but until you’ve experienced antisemitism, until you’ve stood there hearing people scream “kill the Jews” one state away from your hometown, until you’ve spent even an ounce of time looking into the many ways in which Jewish people are threatened in the West, sit down and shut up.

And while you’re sitting, take a moment to think over the ways we’re afraid of you. Think of how terrifying it is for us when people brush off the term Nazi and call it overused. Think of how we all grew up knowing that we have always been hated by some, that we will always be hated. Think about how those few Nazis destroyed our culture, so much so that the global Jewish population may never recover. Think about how they murdered us for no reason, and then, for one instant, one single second, try to understand why we are terrified.

“The Nazis gradually grew their support base until they had about 30% support while those in the middle were divided, actually giving them 50% support and allowing them to do whatever they wanted.”

IS THIS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE US NOW???

[stele3]

Look at every single one of Trump’s approval ratings. He’s at about 35%. About 1 in every 3 human beings is a fucking monster.

The only thing stopping history from repeating itself is us.

I did a whole paper on this very thing in college. It’s very common for women online who have gone through harassment and abuse online to reach out to the police, only for officers to say they “can’t do anything” or don’t have the means to find the culprits. People getting bomb threats to their homes, being told they are going to be murdered or raped all fall on deaf ears. However any sort of joke or minor comment about things they care about and they suddenly know exactly what to do to bring those people to justice. It’s revolting.

In response to racist violence, more African Americans look to bear arms

The National African American Gun Association, known as NAAG, has tripled its chapters from 14 to 42 since President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

With just under 25 thousand members, this gun group is tiny compared to the NRA, which claims around 5 million. But In the last 14 months, the National African American Gun Association, also known as NAAG, has grown from just 14 chapters to 52.
