He’s saying he doesn’t feel comfortable around Nazis

Ok so the whole Nazi thing is hackneyed, overused and an insult to people who actually endured the Nazis.

No, pretending actual Nazis, who are rising in number, aren’t Nazis is an insult to those who suffered under the Nazis.

Well I don’t know any Nazis, apparently you do. People joke about the average Reddit user being 19, but maybe you are not even that old. Your political naïveté is cute, but honestly if you don’t want to be able to defend yourself against the coming Nazi invasion, no problem bro. The most ironic part, and this probably escaped you, is it was you that went political

I'm Jewish and my family emigrated to escape Nazism, and I find people like you who hallucinate Nazis everywhere to be absolutely insufferable. You think you're so cool and brave standing up to political extremism when all you're doing is helping trivialize it until no one takes it seriously anymore. I'd sooner be friends with Kanye West than with a so-called anti-fascist.

What were they chanting in Charlottesville?

What does a march in Charlottesville that occurred years ago have to do with gun ranges in Pittsburgh, exactly? Assuming that is the event you are referring to.

Might as well stay locked up inside because a serial killer might be roaming around your neighbourhood.

My read of your previous comment was that you were claiming anti-semitism isn't on the rise.

I can see how it might be interpreted that way. To be clear, I would agree that it is on the rise, but in my opinion the "anti-Nazi" movement (the nonsensical name-calling and dehumanizing of the right wing) is not helping with it at all, and in fact I would argue that it is creating more anti-semitism.

I've unfortunately had the opposite experience. Inevitably, when I enter a shop, some asshole is crowing about "his freedums!" and generally being belligerent.

I'm sure a lot of shop owners don't want that rep, but they also don't want to tell some guy who drops a lot of money to feed his prepper fantasy to shut the fuck up, either.

Well if I had that happen I would probably just leave, like I said I’ve never had that experience, and just to clarify, I’m about as center politically as it gets, if there was an actual libertarian party candidate that would probably be me. I’m all for gun registration, insurance, mandatory training which PA requires none, and so on, I’m pro second amendment but hardly a Nazi

I've walked out of a few stores. I won't spend my money where I'm not welcome (or where a store won't control their clientele).

Only on Reddit could you get downvoted for saying you are pro gun control
