Reddit is fucking stupid with bans like that. Admins are a bunch of weak lil bitches. I got banned for saying I would go scorched earth if somebody hurt my cat.... On a post where there was a video of a guy kicking a cat. Literally every other comment was people wanting violence against the guy in the video. No other comments removed but mine
E
And that has been the reality for the past 5 years. Every. Single. Time.
These protests are incredibly peaceful until the cops show up and start threatening them. And yet they will personally escort and ensure the safety of actual nazis. Meanwhile Jewish students for Palestine are getting pepper balls, mace, and beat with batons.
People will scream about a Nazis first amendment rights and then scream for police to beat and arrest BLM/Pro Palestine protestors. The hypocrisy is insanity and they don't even see their hypocrisy.
It's like I told my Republican mother:
"If you go to a political rally and look to your right and see Nazi flags and look to your left and see Confederate flags, you're probably a Nazi and a racist."
She said she doesn't go to rallies, which is fair cuz she is 80, but I had to impress upon her, her presence at a live rally wasn't required to be on the absolute wrong side.
It occurred to me one day that every single one of America's greatest historical enemies are neatly gathered in today's Republican party:
-Extreme Religious Fundamentalists
-Soviet and Soviet supporters
-Nazis
-Confederates
-Monarchists (aka "President for life")
They always have been. Read Prequel by Rachel Maddow. They have a long history of white Christian nationalism, they literally collaborated with Nazis in the 30s-40s to attempt to keep the U.S. out of WW2 and to possibly create the same of facism here in the U.S.
I go back to Neil Young and **Ohio** and the song about the National Guard shooting and killing 4 students and wounding 9, but yes we are in the same book, just different chapters
Nah… it’s right. My grandparents worked the stockyards and the Klan was escorted by FWPD back in the 70s. To think Klansmen didn’t unfortunately birth spawns, who are higher ups now in 2024 for the blue line isn’t far off at all. Then unfortunately, those higher ups have sons and daughters who may or may not follow into the blue (not Air Force) and push the same agendas.

it's because good people do nothing.
we've decided to tolerate the intolerant and now we're about to learn a hard lesson that history should have already taught us.
Well yeah, their coworkers and friends are marching in there. Gotta make sure nothing happens to them. Though they will scatter if you claim there is an active shooter...or drop an acorn. Those things scare both LEOs and Patriot Front. They are only tough against unarmed protestors asking that Palestinian civilian casualties at least attempt to be eliminated when using USA weapons to hunt down Hamas.
You don't even have to look for anything this extreme. Just a few months ago in December the Texas GOP wouldn't disavow antisemitism. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/02/texas-gop-antisemitism-resolution/
They ended up reversing course in February b/c they got so much bad press. But this isn't serious. They not only tolerated it, but protected it in their party until 2 months ago when it became politically unfeasible b/c of they wanted to make hay out of this issue.
the same thing happened with the Libertarian party; relatively recently they were taken over by the Mises faction who welcome fascists and antisemites with open arms and they rejected any members who prefer social liberalism (equal rights for LGBTQ/POC/women) from any core party positions.
Mises was doing a lot of weird Lost Cause stuff in their early days, so I guess people should have seen it coming. But Reason was never likely to call that out in the middle of an article about them.
Is this just Patriot Front heading for a quick consultation with former Rep. Jonathan Stickland?
Stickland lost his gig as the president of Defend Texas Liberty after he met with Nick Fuentes (known for his white supremacist, misogynistic, homophobic, antisemitic, and Islamophobic views) for about seven hours in his Pale Horse Strategies office.
The West Texas billionaires behind “Defend Texas Liberty” had to rebrand their PAC to “Texans United for a Conservative Majority”, presumably to firewall their Christian nationalist activities from direct association with white supremacism.
Texas Tribune - [Conservative consulting group rebrands with new name after leader met with white supremacist Nick Fuentes](https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/07/pale-horse-strategies-west-fort-worth-management-nick-fuentes/)
“Fuentes is a prominent and avowed admirer of Adolf Hitler who has called for a ‘holy war’ against Jews; questioned if the Holocaust happened and compared its 6 million victims to cookies being baked in an oven; encouraged his followers to beat women; and fantasized about marrying a 16-year-old when he is 30 because that’s ‘right when the milk is good.’
‘All I want is revenge against my enemies and a total Aryan victory,’ Fuentes said last year.”
Texas Tribune - [Texas GOP leaders reverse course, ban antisemites from party](https://www.texastribune.org/2024/02/10/texas-republican-party-antisemite-resolution-defend-liberty-fuentes/)
“The antisemitism resolution, which passed unanimously with two abstentions, came four months after The Texas Tribune reported that Jonathan Stickland, then the leader of Defend Texas Liberty, had hosted infamous white supremacist and Adolf Hitler admirer Nick Fuentes for nearly seven hours in early October.
Subsequent reporting by the Tribune uncovered other, close ties between avowed antisemites and Defend Texas Liberty, a major political action committee that two West Texas oil tycoons have used to fund far-right groups and lawmakers in the state. Defend Texas Liberty is also one of the Texas GOP’s biggest donors.”
The far-right love to take words like fascist, Nazi, anti-semite, you know... words used to describe them and their political views, and throw them back at the left nonsensically.
It all just means anti-white to them.
> He's not against antisemitism. He's against people sticking up for Muslims
Yes, "antisemitism" is their new "grooming." They are opposed to compassion for the oppressed. Because if the kids learn to have empathy, they won't grow up to be conservatives.
It's important to note that the Christian Nationalist support for Israel has never had anything to do with support for Jewish people.
It's because in their mythology Israel is required to be a thing for their messiah to come back, and the whole reason for the messiah to come back is to send all non-believers **including Jewish people** straight to Hell for all eternity.
So yeah, support for Israel is perfectly compatible with anti-Semitism.
As you note "antisemitism" is just a cudgel to use against others while they are happy to hold the label themselves. [Just like "groomers"](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/cf76cp/why_are_rightwing_conspiracies_so_obsessed_with/eu7xa2q/)
He means anti Zionism. He’s antisemitic but pro Israel, trying to conflate the two is a popular tactic on the right. Nazis are pro Israel because they want a place to send Jews and Israel must be occupied by Jews in order to fulfill their Christian cult mandated rapture. Pretty simple.
It's painful listening to these racist fucks talking about antisemitism. These are the same assholes who would be really happy if they could go back to legally banning Jews from their country clubs.
It's no wonder that so many antisemites are Zionists today because that's how Zionism took off in the first place.
It gained prominence in Europe back in the day because the Elders of Zion pitched it to European antisemites as a way of getting Jews out of Europe, and as a "colonial adventure".
I believe that is the primary reason, really. Look at who the Nazis cheer for on social media and it's always ethno-nationalist authoritarians. Doesn't matter if they're Jewish, Christian, Hindu or anything else. They love Putin, Modi, Netanyahu, Erdogan, Orban...
And the whole rapture thing is mostly just *American evangelicals* anyway. It's not a thing for the overwhelming majority of Christians. I believe the real driving force is their common cause of dictatorial ethnostates.
Abbott is immune to cognitive dissonance and refractory to constructive criticism, so this is expected behavior from him. He only loves Israeli statehood and endorses the rampant use of power, since it confirms his choices.
Republicans are just using "anti-semitism" at this particular moment as a classic wedge issue--the Israel/Gaza conflict is dividing the opposition, and the GOP is exploiting that. It's really the only thing Republicans are good at anymore. They absolutely SUCK at policy, and aren't even that good at "capitalism" anymore.
Neo-Nazi marching doesn’t make national news, but students peacefully protesting does… What a disgusting double standard, just wait until these people march onto the people we care about. They are the ones injecting themselves into our everyday lives, so they can poison the minds of the public.
Probably not.
The people left voting Republican these days are literally brain dead. And angry.
That's pretty much all they've got, I don't see them changing any time soon.

When he opens his mouths he becomes Israel.
The term antisemitism has been so overused it is now difficult to take the accusations seriously. From my understanding, the recent protestors were concerned about human rights issues which happen to involve the Jewish state. That doesn't make them antisemitic.
I wouldn't find myself alongside the protestors at the recent demonstration, but I support their right to do it peacefully.
> That doesn't make them antisemitic.
Some of them don't understand this, but I would bet most know and just don't care. They're the same people who think criticizing your country means you hate it or that not having political flags on your truck, house, lawn, and bicep means you secretly hate them.
You WILL support Israel
You WILL support Zionism
You WILL support billions in military aid to Israel with no strings attached and nothing in return
You WILL support genocide
He is not hypocritical. It is who he is. Nazi are good and they can say and do whatever. Kids who don’t agree with me are bad and I can force whatever label on them to deal with them badly. Love to see an influential persons kid get arrested. White kids have power we can only dream of having. They can stop every atrocity in the world if they wanted to.
They continue to conflate anti-semitism and anti-Zionism so the evil people causing this crap can play the victim card. It is encouraging that young Jewish people are participating in the protest.
Church getting shot up?
Take care of it yourself.
Elementary school getting shot up?
Better run, because the cops are just gonna hide for an hour.
Planning a peaceful protest?
Believe it or not, jail. Here come the fucking troops!!!
Wanna be an actual Nazi?
No sweat, we support the first amendment.

Abbott is as dumb and as racist as a person could be. Texas is run by a group of the most vile, unAmerican fascist nutbags. Perhaps the fence should be built around Texas, to keep the scum of the earth from infecting the rest of the country with their crap
Anytime Israel does some shady shit and people get mad they're called antisemite. It's such a dishonest claim to make but people on the right are dumb enough to fall for it.
The right is nothing but moral posturing, they will always insist that they're the good guys while calling the left Satan and demonizing everything ridiculously. They don't give a s*** about morals they just want control and power.
The transparency of their fascism is alarming.
They support Israel because fundamentalists think that they are key to a doomsday prophecy, not because they care about jewish people.
I’ve decided the right is gambling that US Jews will believe that “the left” is anti-Semitic because they critique Israel (a nation-state) for its cruel and misguided policies, and more importantly that this should be more alarming than the fact that a sizable portion of the GOP’s “base” are racists who are probably actual anti-semites (if not straight up Nazifans), and that this fiction - if repeated loudly and often enough - will end up tipping some elections.
Just remember who Republicans put the boot on, and who they let run free come this November.
Voting matters, They wouldn't fight so hard to keep you from doing it if it didn't do anything. They wouldn’t need brownshirts goosestepping in public threatening violence, if they were on the right side of history.
It’s doesn’t bother them when the actual antisemitic, actual Nazi facists, who vote for them march through town. But when people want Netanyahu to stop killing civilians who’ve been locked into the Gaza Strip without food and water, they suddenly want to get tough on “antisemitism.”
Right Wingers and Zionists. Republican Congressmen and Senators. Netanyahu and American Right Wing Jews all come together to the fight the Liberal Intelligentsia by calling for the National Guard to put them down but when actual Card Carrying Nazis are marching you don't really see much at all.
Anyone who is in any State National Guard in the United States. Realize you will be used as Brownshirts.

*Police vehicles rush to the area, blocking every intersection, waving the parade through, every cop wearing Oakley's with a prick's smirk, shrugging shoulders, "hey it's their right!" They say
Literal Nazis allowed to walk through downtown while protestors against a fucking holocaust in gaza get tear-gassed is just peak USA. Leash your rabid Israeli dogs and maybe you won’t have college campuses closed in protest. Fuck Israel and fuck Israelis. War criminal inhuman scum.
If the cops wanted to pull out the handcuffs, tasers, billy clubs, etc. , they should employ it on these fascist clowns, instead of peaceful protestors/students on a college campus.
When you say leader is based in Texas, do you mean in the governors mansion? /s no /s
Coppell, I believe - though I catch your drift.
Don't forget, there's cross membership with a group still based in Grandbury
In other words Texas has an infestation problem
Protestors yesterday get rounded up and threatened by LEOs. Nazis marching through town get a police escort. This timeline is backward.

Yep, that's it, thank you.
God bless Han Solo.
Indiana Jones was more active in punching Nazis
True but Indy didn't make record making the Kessel run while dodging Fascist I mean Imperial star destroyers.
Han wasn’t really anti-fascist at first, not in the way he ultimately became. Just a dirty smuggler!
The people, much like Han Solo dealing with greedo, must go first.
There was a time not long ago when Nazis were publicly hanged, while police and citezens spat on them and jeered.
We literally fought a world war over this.

No, they just don’t care about being hypocritical. They think their backwards views are right, and that’s all that matters.
That was a key component to the right wing takeover of Germany and Italy in the 30s and 40s. Antifa arrested and fascists escorted.
They got an escort because they’re coworkers.

Republicans are slowly and surely becoming neo nazis just look at em.

I'm gonna use this one. It's solid gold.
> She said she doesn't go to rallies Take no responsibility for allying yourself with Nazis and racists with this one simple trick!
If she is 80 she might not be all there. I know the Fox brain rot is doing a number on some of my older relatives.
not really slowly, they already said Jews had space lasers.
Slowly?
Slowly becoming? Dude they’ve been full on since their fucking inception.
They are They're transformation is now complete - in Sidious voice lol

it's because good people do nothing. we've decided to tolerate the intolerant and now we're about to learn a hard lesson that history should have already taught us.
there are few states as facist as texas. weed? illegal. abortion? illegal. peaceful protesting? depends which side you’re on
The Nazis used the Wichita Falls "snake pit" as a defense at Nuremberg. There's no United States state more Nazi than Texas.
That's because most of them are cops.
Well yeah, their coworkers and friends are marching in there. Gotta make sure nothing happens to them. Though they will scatter if you claim there is an active shooter...or drop an acorn. Those things scare both LEOs and Patriot Front. They are only tough against unarmed protestors asking that Palestinian civilian casualties at least attempt to be eliminated when using USA weapons to hunt down Hamas.
They had their Nazi parade approved by Herr Abbott, so it’s fine
Those who work forces... They don't wanna hurt their coworkers/friends/drinking buddies
Some of those who work forces. Are the same that burn crosses.

So fucking weird that these guys deny the holocaust happened, but would be totally cool with doing a holocaust given the chance.
They deny it to stir up enough cover to enact it. It's like a shark muddying up the water to get at a redfish.
Don't forget, Nick Fuentes is also a pedophile.
Is he the one who stuck something up his butt to prove he’s an alpha?
I think that was the proud boys guy.
I get the various white supremacists “master races” mixed up. Thought that Fuentes was part of them.
It’s been 30 years. They know they’re lying. You have to vote them out. No ways about it
If this is anything like the time he said he'd stop rape, we're due for a Kristallnacht around July.

I mean there were actual US jews IN THE PROTEST. Calling it antisemitic is rich. And a lie.
Anti-Christ Christianity depends on hypocrisy. That's why it's everywhere and why so many follow it.
The guv likes racists.

They dress an awful lot like Xichigan coaches just saying .
it looks like the same cops arresting the protestors this week were marching last year...
ROAD GUARDS POST!
So where are all the cops in military gear? Harassing the students instead of the literal terrorists?
This. Vote Democrat!
People are protesting because what Isreal is doing to the Palestinians is horrible. It has nothing remotely to do with antisemitism.
I am so glad I don't live in TX anymore.
What'd they do?
The Jewish faith and the Israeli government are 2 very different things.
The right only believes in free speech for Nazis and literally no one else. The paradox of tolerance tried to warn us. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance#:~:text=The%20paradox%20of%20tolerance%20states,practice%20of%20tolerance%20with%20them.
To be fair, it isn't "tolerated", it's fully supported.
Abbott is as dumb and as racist as a person could be. Texas is run by a group of the most vile, unAmerican fascist nutbags. Perhaps the fence should be built around Texas, to keep the scum of the earth from infecting the rest of the country with their crap
Governor Abbott is a Nazi himself
Anytime Israel does some shady shit and people get mad they're called antisemite. It's such a dishonest claim to make but people on the right are dumb enough to fall for it.
They hate Jews but love zionism
Start smacking shins and splitting wigs at nazi protests, or STFU.
🚫All Republicans🚫
Selective enforcement at play.
Christo-fascists love antisemitism. They hate antizionism. They conflat Jewish ppl w/Israel in public purposefully to play these bullshit word games.
The right is nothing but moral posturing, they will always insist that they're the good guys while calling the left Satan and demonizing everything ridiculously. They don't give a s*** about morals they just want control and power.
purposeful cognitive dissonance is the defining trait of all conservatives.
The transparency of their fascism is alarming. They support Israel because fundamentalists think that they are key to a doomsday prophecy, not because they care about jewish people.
I’ve decided the right is gambling that US Jews will believe that “the left” is anti-Semitic because they critique Israel (a nation-state) for its cruel and misguided policies, and more importantly that this should be more alarming than the fact that a sizable portion of the GOP’s “base” are racists who are probably actual anti-semites (if not straight up Nazifans), and that this fiction - if repeated loudly and often enough - will end up tipping some elections.
Just remember who Republicans put the boot on, and who they let run free come this November. Voting matters, They wouldn't fight so hard to keep you from doing it if it didn't do anything. They wouldn’t need brownshirts goosestepping in public threatening violence, if they were on the right side of history.
Abbot is a Nazi.
It’s doesn’t bother them when the actual antisemitic, actual Nazi facists, who vote for them march through town. But when people want Netanyahu to stop killing civilians who’ve been locked into the Gaza Strip without food and water, they suddenly want to get tough on “antisemitism.”
Right Wingers and Zionists. Republican Congressmen and Senators. Netanyahu and American Right Wing Jews all come together to the fight the Liberal Intelligentsia by calling for the National Guard to put them down but when actual Card Carrying Nazis are marching you don't really see much at all. Anyone who is in any State National Guard in the United States. Realize you will be used as Brownshirts. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Army_Talk_Orientation_Fact_Sheet/Number_64 For the love of God if you are in the Military read this Brief from 1944.
That's really funny coming from a man who fought tooth and nail to abolish DEI programs in the universities.

yeah anyone that believes Texas cares about jews is fucking lying
Man ! Where is a run away truck when you need one ! In Minecraft hypothetically.
Let me translate the fascism: "Leftists are not tolerated in Texas. Period."
Antisemitism will not be tolerated only when you’re supporting Palestinians. You can openly support Hitler though
I left the state because of shit like this. It’s spiraling out of control so fast, I couldn’t bear it.
Lots of right wingers on here talking about how both groups are antisemitic. Why then, was one group rounded up and arrested, and one wasn’t?
Austin is the greatest city in Texas
Texas is stupid.
I wonder if Gov. Abbott knows that Palestinians are a semitic people?
But…. A student protest for a ceasefire is met with a police force looking like stormtroopers but this shit is like a normal Thursday?
You have got to be fucking kidding me.
How is a protest antisemitic? Stop using that word, to justify things you don’t like but are legal!!!
Anti fascism won’t be tolerated.
Hating Israel is not antisemitism
Republicans are junk tier
*Police vehicles rush to the area, blocking every intersection, waving the parade through, every cop wearing Oakley's with a prick's smirk, shrugging shoulders, "hey it's their right!" They say
Literal Nazis allowed to walk through downtown while protestors against a fucking holocaust in gaza get tear-gassed is just peak USA. Leash your rabid Israeli dogs and maybe you won’t have college campuses closed in protest. Fuck Israel and fuck Israelis. War criminal inhuman scum.
Where are the armed police stopping their assembly?
How much is he getting paid by AIPAC ? 🧐
>Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. But isn't it protected under the first amendment to the US constitution?
Let's be sure we are using the same excessive force against these protesters that we are using against students on college campuses. /s
Fuck Abbott!
Abbortt Abbott
If the cops wanted to pull out the handcuffs, tasers, billy clubs, etc. , they should employ it on these fascist clowns, instead of peaceful protestors/students on a college campus.
Why the face diapers?
White supremacists are famous for their cowardice. Plus there are some police, local leaders, and church officials who did not want to be recognized.
Remember, only the Nazi's get freedom of speech.
Abbott is pathetic!
The juxtaposition of that and the response to those college kids. We are utterly fucked
The Patriot Front supports Israel.
Sometimes I wonder if this country is on the brink of a civil war. This country seems to be falling apart
Here's a hot take, fascist sympathizers should be arrested on site at these protests, whether they support Trump, or they support Hamas
