if someone says “degenerate” there is a 93% chance they are a neo-nazi
neo-nazi buzzwords:
referring to minorities as a dehumanised collective (i.e “the blacks” instead of “black people”, “the jews” instead of “jewish people”, “the gays”, “the illegals” etc. etc.)
“cuck” “normie” “liberal snowflake”
“deus vult my friends”
“Is he /our guy/ ?” or any variation of the /our guy/ meme
“red-pill” or “alt-right” (in regards to someone’s political stance)
holocaust denial in any way shape or form (from flat out it didn’t happen to any kind of attempt to minimise/normalise the crimes of the nazis through spreading false facts or making jokes about it)
using the concept of triggers in a comedic way
talking about “alpha” and “beta” males
“anti-racism = anti-white” / “this is anti-white propaganda” / “white pride worldwide”
“multiculturalism = white genocide”
“islamization of america/europe”, “eurabia”
glorious (when applied to a political figure or nation)
talking about cultural marxism as if it’s an actual thing
“preserving the future for white children” (anything that evokes images of white children being in need of saving from the imagined threat of white genocide)
“why are only white countries asked to be multi-cultural” ignoring the overwhelming presence of white people in the americas, oceania and south africa
citing false statistics about difference in IQ amongst ethnic groups
neo-nazis are currently on a campaign to rebrand and repackage themselves to win over more mainstream support. this has resulted in the emergence of the “alt-right” as a legitimate political body, to push back against neo-nazism we have to identify it where we see it. if you see someone online using any of the terminology listed above there is a good chance that they are part of the burgeoning group of white supremacist who are using online platforms and cloaked language to disperse their hatred to a wider audience. be aware and be vigilant.
side note: incase the neo-nazis on this site co-opt this post and turn it into a “tag urself” of some sort im gonna pre-emptively say, with all my heart, i hope you choke
This is important content cuz it touches on one of the more overlooked aspects of the recent altright encroachment: a lot of it is about doing it “for the lulz”. Making traditionally marginalized groups angry or reactive is a form of entertainment for some, and the fact that happens to work towards reclaiming white male supremacy for them is more of a secondary bonus. That’s what makes it so difficult to logically or “correctly” combat it; the most forward face isn’t an ideology or philosophy, so to speak, but rather a form of indulgence. It’s not a grand mission, it’s a game they play.
Autism Speaks is accepting support from Soldiers of Odin, a white supremacist vigilante group, and happily featuring their group portrait on their website asking for $ to fund their shitty autistic-abusing organisation. As A$ are flat-out eugenicists and the organisation’s leadership is in bed with Trump, I for one am very unfucking surprised that they’re chill with their money-making events being full of actual Nazis. So much for their new ‘progressive’ mission statement. Do not trust or support A$.
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I already hated them so much but THIS IS LIKE RIDICULOUS
AS has always wanted the extermination of autistic ppl so this is less of a surprise than you’d think
in an effort to understand Richard Spencer’s ideologies I went and did some searching on him
he’s been quoted as saying he wants a “peaceful ethnic cleansing” in America and he wants to create a “European ethno-state”. most of the articles I’ve found are vague on his exact goals, but near as I can tell, he wants to form an all-white country in which non-white people aren’t allowed, and kick out any non-white people already living there
now think about the logistics of that.
let’s say he gets his wish, and carves out a big chunk of America to become the new “white ethno-state”. let’s say he somehow manages to get an official, government law passed to do it, because he supposedly supports democracy
this would mean deporting every non-white person currently living there, which in most areas of America, would mean a WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE. and you can bet they’re not going to want to go willingly. being forced to pack your bags, leave your home and job behind, all your financial security, your neighbours, everything? where would you go? what would you do if you couldn’t find a new job and a new home? does Richard Spencer care? I’d bet anything he doesn’t.
THAT’S VIOLENCE RIGHT THERE. forcing people to leave their home behind so you can build a new, all-white state, is VIOLENT. there’s no way around that. ripping away their livelihood like that is violent even IF the people leave willingly, and let me assure you, they WON’T leave willingly.
and this is a pretty far-fetched thing to try and achieve, but you can see the same ideas being implemented in smaller form. take Trump and the Republican’s attempts to gut the ACA. think of how many people would be harmed by the loss of their health insurance. how many people could die. how many people would lose any hope of escaping poverty because they now have huge medical bills to pay. that is VIOLENCE. it’s not as explicit as punching someone in the face, but it’s far-reaching, and life-ruining. it’s VIOLENCE.
take the way Flint and many other communities have had their water quality absolutely ruined, turned into a health hazard, for the sake of making money. take the absolute lack of sympathy for the people suffering there. THAT’S VIOLENCE.
and it’s violence cloaked in politics and bureaucracy. violence that comes from passing bills for the sake of saving money, cutting taxes, stopping people from being “leeches” on government funds or whatever the fuck else their reasoning is
and now when people throw protests or riots, or punch Richard Spencer in the face, or threaten neo-nazis, those people will respond with “why are you being violent? I’m being peaceful! I’m being democratic! you’re hypocrites!”
that’s a goddamn lie. these people are being far, far more violent. they’re just dressing their violence up nice and fancy so they can pretend it doesn’t exist and they’re the only victims here.
Well having beliefs isn’t violence though. It’s only violence of one carries it out. So he hasn’t been violent. Thoughts don’t equal violence and the guy who sucker punched him is still a coward.
thoughts may not equal violence, but they lead to violence. like at what point are we allowed to say, okay, now we can punch this guy? AFTER he implements his policies? when he’s partway through? why do we have to wait until AFTER he hurts someone when he’s made it explicitly clear that he
WANTS to hurt people,
WILL hurt people if given the chance, and is trying to gain enough power and sway to do so?
if we don’t make it clear right here right now that his beliefs are violent, unethical, and completely unacceptable in a moral society, it only gets him closer to accomplishing his goals. that can’t be allowed to happen.
and don’t get me wrong, I don’t LIKE the thought of violence being necessary here, but if the only way to get him to shut up is to clock him in the jaw then I say we go ahead and clock him
Here’s some notes I made way back in August when people were talking about violence and fascism. Just my train of thought, but I think defining “violence” is important here. It’s long but it’s stuff that took me a lot of time to articulate, so I hope you all give it a look.
~~~
THE QUESTION: is nazism/fascism, and ascribing to it, violent by definition, even if an individual has not committed a violent act?
ANSWER: YES. because
-The ideology involves violence (could probably be argued against academically but probably no actual nazi would tell me that)
-by supporting it, a person condones and encourages violence by others
-we can acknowledge that violence can exist outside of physical harm such as assault. there is violence against the psyche (living in an atmosphere of threat). Any country frequently overflown by drones, minority communities in certain areas: all case studies.
-nazis want their presence to be disturbing and hurtful to others, especially the Other they define.
-their idea of superiority over other groups of people enables violence against them as it dehumanizes them (this is common to pretty much any form of racism/bigotry and could fall under the second dash in this list)
NEXT QUESTION: does this give me the right to physically engage fascists/nazis?
ANSWER: PROBABLY.
the hypothetical situation 1: I am walking in the street as my self, going about my business. there are some nazis being openly nazi in the street. THEIR PRESENCE MAKES ME AFRAID because Fascism is by nature violent. Are they doing sufficient violence to me, that it merits a response? What kind of response?
I am only situationally empowered to verbally engage with them. I would not feel comfortable yelling at them were I alone. In a group of friends, we might feel secure as a group. Why am I not comfortable verbally engaging? Because Fascism MEANS physical threat.
However were I to physically strike one of these people, then I would be committing assault, as well as provoking a violent response. I must rely on the authorities and powers to protect me from fascists in my street.
However the authorities and powers say that they are just standing around and they have free speech.
There may be other situations of encountering fascists and nazis, but their danger is as groups, in terms of enacting immediate physical violence or having effect on social structure (including laws and government). Whether or not the “alt-right” of twitter and the internet are dangerous depends on who sees their stuff? Memes are shit, and so on, but they are seen, and the thought is the thing, and the thing is violent. People will either agree or be harmed, by the ideas themselves.
It is dangerous to stop or restrict ideas, but ideas that have harm inherent in them? if they cannot be stopped in order to maintain a free society, THEY MUST BE DISAVOWED CONSTANTLY. Fascists have a desire to control, usurp, or destroy the political process. They will try to work within by mobilizing their “silent majority” and through populism and control of information, but they will be willing to tear the system down. We cannot be afraid to stop them! We must go against them not with our words alone but protesting in the streets. This is scary, we do not want to go out in such a negative way, to stand against something that may be the tide of history rolling towards us. Doing this is a stand for democracy, whether a person is a communist looking for revolution or a capitalist wanting to preserve the status quo (I am not here to debate about capitalism and communism and what if any violence they bring). We cannot be bystanders to hate because hate is violence and becomes violence and begets violence.
this is why people say “kick the shit out of nazis wherever you find them” because they can recognize that the existence of nazis is violent and violence.
Naomi Ellis and her her husband Seth spent Friday morning — the morning after the sixth night of Hanukkah — trying to explain to their three young sons why someone had vandalized the menorah the family had put out on their yard by twisting the metal pieces into the shape of a swastika.
The Ellis family had only built the 7-foot-tall menorah on the front lawn of their home in Chandler, Arizona, because their sons, ages 5, 7 and 9, had asked their parents if the family could decorate their home like the neighbors did for Christmas, the Washington Postreported. Read more.

This is America in the 21st century. Please reblog, even if you’re not Jewish. Especially if you’re not Jewish. Spread awareness and let your Jewish followers know that we’re not alone.
On Thursday, Andrew Anglin, founder of neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, announced the site’s campaign of harassment against Jews in alt-right leader ...
So they’re just shy of threatening to murder us now. This is terrifying.
The article states that the Nazis are urging their supporters to do the following:
Write a postcard with a negative, hateful message and send it to Love Lives Here
Buy or borrow a copy of “Mein Kampf” and host a story hour for your neighborhood kids.
Share the story of what happened in Billings, MT in the 1990s when they rallied around a Jewish family to harass goyim.
Get a Nazi flag for your window (window cling or candle holder) to show solidarity with your Aryan brothers and sisters during the Hanukkah holiday
print off a pdf of the Nazi swastika logo and post it in your car or home or business.
Email info@loveliveshereflathead.org and tell them you’re well aware of their plans to kike the goyim.
Write a Letter to the Editor condemning Love Lives Here and send it to ALL of the local papers.
In other words, they are literally recommending that their followers share the words of Hitler with children and that they post swastikas everywhere to prevent intimidate Jews.
PLEASE STAND WITH US. WE ARE A SMALL MINORITY AND WE CANNOT FIGHT THIS ALONE.
PEOPLE WHO WANT ME, PERSONALLY, TO DIE ARE GOING TO MARCH THE STREETS OF MY COUNTRY WITH GUNS.
IN THIS INSTANCE? GENTILE! SILENCE! IS! VIOLENCE!
please tell me, what do I do??
I always tell gentiles to contact their LOCAL Jewish communities and let them know that you are willing to act, that you are a gentile ally and that you want to be pro-active. Money is good. Money is great. Chances are, that’s what they’re going to tell you to do - give money. And if you can? Great.
But if this march were happening here? I would want to be able to call the local Jewish Federation and find out where safe places to hide were, what Jewish-friendly businesses are. Make sure that your local shuls and JFs and Hadassahs know that if they’re doing counter-protests, rallies, etc - you want to be there. That you’re willing to act as human-shield protection, as a safe-house should the need arise. They may tell you they don’t need it. And maybe they dont. But leave your contact information anyway.
It’s okay if they tell you they don’t want or need you. Don’t be insulted. Trust their judgment. That doesn’t make you less of an ally. Show up when asked. Be quiet when not. But chances are, someone will find something for you to do in any group you want to use your voice to support. You never know what could come down they pipe.
This goes for any group you are not a part of that you want to lend your support to. Contact your local community centers or civic groups or places of worship and tell them that you are an ally and you want to do your part. Tell them you don’t know how to start. Tell them you want to. They will have ways. Trust me on this one.
But to begin with - just ask the people of the oppressed group in your neighborhood. In my experience, no matter what you want to do - that is the only place to start.
As the No. 2 most-harassed Jewish journalist on Twitter per the Anti-Defamation League, I've become intimately familiar with the colorful cast of anti-Jewish bigots that populate social media. There are those who will photoshop you into gas chambers and concentration camps. Others like pairing Nazi ...
But there is one particular type of anti-Semitic troll that I find particularly pernicious: the racists who use their accounts to impersonate Jews and defame them. The con goes like this: The troll finds a picture of a very Jewish-looking person online—typically a Hasidic Jew in full regalia—and makes it his avatar. He puts a bunch of very Jewish descriptors in his bio (“Orthodox,” “Zionist,” “enemy of the alt-right”). He then proceeds to insert himself into conversations with prominent Twitter users—conversations that will often be read by tens of thousands of followers—and say horrifically racist things. Thus, it appears to unsuspecting readers that Jews are outlandishly bigoted. The same has been done with other minorities, from Latinos to African-Americans to Muslims.

The problem is, most casual social media users aren’t even aware that this sort of racist deception is being perpetrated, let alone trained to be vigilant for it. And Twitter isn’t really capable of the detective work to identify these accounts and take them down as they spring up.So the question becomes: How can users fight back? Can this insidious tool of anti-Semitic harassment be defanged like the (((echoes))) that were previously used by internet bigots? The answer is yes, and it takes the form of a Twitter bot.Working with developer Neal Chandra, we created an automated Twitter account that exposes these imposters in real-time. Meet Imposter Buster, social media’s new sheriff. He is programmed with an updated database of impersonator accounts, and every time one of them tweets, he automatically replies and exposes them with pre-programmed evidence:
The bot is kind of amazing. And Rosenberg wants more jobs for it.
So, have you encountered a racist troll impersonating a Jew, African-American, Latino, Muslim, or other minority on Twitter? Send it my way at yrosenberg@tabletmag.com and we’ll put the bot on the case. And do be sure to follow Imposter Buster and his exploits on Twitter!
A white supremacist website called The Daily Stormer has posted a call to "TAKE ACTION" against Jewish people in Whitefish, providing personal contact information and urging a "troll storm" against
I just chatted with one of my closest friends, who is originally from Montana. is what she told me:
The plus side is that there has been a tremendous community response. However, I worry about the police in that area of the state. They say they’re doing extra patrols, but a lot of them are alt-right/neo-nazi affiliated, and I don’t trust them. The rabbi in Whitefish [the town where this occurring] is amazing, and I’m so upset for their congregation. My home synagogue is being targeted in Missoula, but so far they haven’t published individual member info like they did in Whitefish.
Given what we already know about alt-reich affiliated police officers all across country in relation to anti-black shootings and other crimes, I do not think her fears are unfounded. There is a chance that the local police could be the once to target the people they are being assigned to protect.
Please share this so that people know what the alt-reich are doing and keep the Jews of Montana in your thoughts and/or prayers.
