'WE ARE EVERYWHERE' Videos Show Angry Neo-Nazis Cursing and Screaming Slurs During March in Florida - Lemmy.world

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.

The m249 machine gun has a cyclic rate of fire of at least 650 rounds per minute with a sustained rate of fire exceeding 100 rounds per minute. From a stable firing position and with the aid of a bipod, it is possible to accurately lay down sustained suppressing fire on a mass of targets at will, providing that spare barrels and ammunition containers are at hand.

Unrelated, just thought I’d post some trivia

I wonder if there’s a place we can test this trivia of yours.

There’s plenty of shooting ranges! If you go to a rifle range with an automatic gun rental, you can get pretty close. It’s expensive, but it helps to be prepared and practice.

I prefer mockery; to quote Mel Brooks:

If you stand on a soapbox and trade rhetoric with a dictator you never win ... That's what they do so well: they seduce people. But if you ridicule them, bring them down with laughter, they can't win. You show how crazy they are.

I’ve been saying for years that you cannot win a bad faith argument in good faith.

When Tucker Carlson inevitably runs for president, nobody should converse with him, at all, without mentioning the fact that he doesn’t have enough testosterone to grow a decent beard.

Just emasculate him.

Fight in bad faith. You do no win a bad faith argument in good faith.

Agreed.

To drive home the point further, as a member of a great extinct species once said,

Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters… Their silence is your answer.

Jean-Paul Sartre was on point, as well:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

He didn’t burn it all and the slave owners just became industry leaders and those same families are still at the top of every industry and banking institution in this country.

Also why Jim Crow laws became a thing and the civil rights movement, etc etc

We had to do it all the fuck over again in the 1960s cause those plantation owners weren’t lined up at gallows in Georgia like they should have been. Fuck everyone involved in the southern strategy…it’s all cause Sherman didn’t burn enough

Uncle Sherman knew how to use this trivia effectively.

Show threadKIM_JONG_JUICEBOXSep 4, 2023
I’m confused. Is it 650 rounds per minute or 100 rounds per minute?
Show threadCleverdawnySep 4, 2023
650+ rounds is the cyclic rate but it will overheat if continuously fired that quickly. At 100 rpm it can be used sustainably
Show threadmallocSep 4, 2023

Wikipedia on M249 has this info though:

Rate of fire Cyclic: 850 rounds/min Rapid: 100 rounds/min Sustained: 50 rounds/min[2]

[2] …army.mil/…/ARN3242_TC 3-22x249 FINAL WEB.pdf

also, 3,600 m (11,800 ft) effective firing range 👀. Although probably only a handful of people that can accurately hit at that range.
