Might have something to do with this "National Day of Hate" and the recent racist graffiti.

Wonder what lowlife, basement-dwelling, low testosterone, moth-ball breath smelling piece of shit came up with this idea.

Everyday I lose a little bit more faith in humanity.

It’s interesting how the term “Nazi” is universally used these days to universally describe awfulness.

If it’s looked at objectively, the Nazi party was a political movement, that did awful things during a period of time.

If one were to look at the Japanese, raping Chinese women and injecting them with syphilis to observe the effects on the infant, or conducting experimental surgeries on conscious allied POWs…maybe “Jap scum” just doesn’t have the same ring as “Nazi scum.”

The Christianization of Europe is a whole new can of worms. However, “French scum” just doesn’t do it for some people, ironically.

We're talking about people who follow Nazi ideology and propaganda. So yes they're Nazi's. Not all fascists are Nazi's, but all Nazi's are fascists, so thats probably why it gets thrown around a lot. but in this case sounds like they are talking about actual Nazi's.... If you are confused about why people don't distinguish war crimes with an entire race of people vs an ideology that continues to commit crimes, it's because that's racist. If you're unsure of what racism is and trying to defend Nazis... You might be a Nazi piece of shit? Can I help you with any other questions?

The Nazis were socialists, actually. Not fascists. And all war crimes come from zealotry. I have no questions, and am all set with your take on things.

Nazi's were socialists in the same way that NK is a democratic people's republic

I think the world can go without you trying to defend the Neo-Nazi's from being interpreted as Nazi's. So maybe if I don't have to read Neo-Nazi propaganda you want have to hear my opinion on it.

Nothing about the original subject matter of my comment had anything to do with protecting neo-Nazis from being interpreted as Nazis. Rather that people like to use Nazi as a buzz word for outrage, for reasons that defy logic when you broaden your scope. So…case and point, I guess. You are barking at the window.

Also, if you think the Japanese didn’t see the Chinese as racially inferior, you are mistaken. But, I digress. You’ve just chosen to be angry about one group more than another, which has no effect on my life😘

Maybe because there's barely anyone alive who remembers being at war with Japan, and we've all had to deal with Nazi shit heads more than a few times... Who fucking knows comrade question.

Both those situations literally came from the same war lol

The propaganda gods just chose one over the other, for no clear reason is my point.

“We’ve all had to deal with these Nazi shitheads?” I haven’t, ever. I live in the class of humans where we go to work, deal with it and go home. Night shift in the shithole factories of the world, everyone’s there. People who hid in cupboards from the Serbs in Bosnia. People who lived through revolts in Haiti, avoiding having they’re heads cut off with machetes to sneak water out of gutters. Puerto Rican lesbians who grew up with abusive fathers. All of which worked they’re way up to making a solid living, sweating together in a 120 degrees in the summer.

I’m just musing, as a white privileged devils advocate who was in the exact same place and time, doing the exact same shit.

My point is: In my experience, nobody who’s actually in the mix turning the wheels cares about any of this. The current political climate is a fantasy, for Hammers and Nails that don’t have anything else to do.

Jeez Idk maybe it's just all the people running around with Nazi iconography, promoting Nazi ideology. Pick any of the thousands of orginizations around dedicated to spreading that shit. You know what really distringuishes a Nazi? Trying to blur the lines and water down the definition of what a Nazi is online.

Seriously? What will it take for hate to leave this world? It'd be a miracle if this behavior can be of the past and if humankind can move forward into a combined effort in the pursuit of happiness.

All of us can (individually and collectively) actively practice trustworthy, re-humanizing behaviors that build secure attachment; and call out untrustworthy, dehumanizing disconnecting behaviors that undermine secure attachment. Here are the resources I use:

The Trust Triangle

The Anatomy of Trust - marble jar concept and BRAVING acronym

10 definitions of objectifying/dehumanizing behaviors - these erode trust

"Emotional Agility" by Susan David. Endlessly helpful in learning how to grieve and process my emotions.

"NonViolent Communication" by Marshall Rosenberg. This is a compassionate communication framework based on: observations vs. evaluations, needs, feelings, and requests to have needs met. Revolutionary coming from a dysfunctional family and culture of origin.

"Crucial Conversations tools for talking when stakes are high" I use "physical and psychological safety" and "shared pool of meaning" all the time.

"Hold Me Tight" by Sue Johnson. Communication strategies based on adult attachment theory research.

"Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss. He was the lead FBI hostage negotiator and his tactics work well on setting boundaries with difficult people.

Hence why it'd be a miracle if it were to happen. I'm betting on an alien invasion for humans to come together for a general cause. Ever seen that documentary, 'Independence Day?

Last night? There was a Police chase all over the city of Portsmouth. Someone/s in a white van where being chased. They passed by my home on Woodbury Ave and there where like 16 police cars chasing the van. My roommates then told me the where passed by on rt 1 down by the Market Basket and then went up towards town and drove against traffic through some downtown street. That presence might have been to stop them from getting on I-95 or they finally stopped the van there. Wether it was related to the white nationalist activity in recent days, we will just have to wait and see.

A white van- interesting... I heard several foreign nationals were detained and turned over to ICE after apparently attempting theft at a Home Depot in Rockland. They were driving one or two white vans. The details were limited. Apparently the apprehended were not charged (!), and there are no police records of their detainment. It's not clear who has the van(s) or where the vehicles came from.
