How much irony is there when Proud Boys attack Nazi boys who wanted to join their anti-Pride march, then claim it was because the Nazis are FBI plants there to coax them into violence?
Not to mention excessive amount of "pride" and "boys" cosplaying here. Are they sure they don't want to just drop the hate, grab a flag and express themselves with rainbow colors?
Meanwhile I'm not so sure I agree with Cenk's opinion on not punching Nazis. Maybe if more 1930s Germans had punched Nazis instead of electing them the world would be a much different place...
I'm not suggesting it should be a free hit, assault can have consequences. But realize that "fighting words" are not protected speech so puncher and Nazi boys beware!
Meanwhile we are being gaslight by MAGA into believing that fascism is the American way, when we have a long history of anti-fascism.
PS. I was reading the Medium article about punching Nazis where I found that image and saw one of the commenters used the term "alt-Reich" to describe the neo-fascism supporting alt-Right.
Am I the last liberal in America to come across that term?
It might even be funny if it wasn't so sad and appropriate for the MAGA extremists, apologists, and sycophants who support them.
