A Scripps News reporter confronts an out-of-state neo-Nazi group who were demonstrating in Nashville, Tenn. They were said to have created havoc on the streets with symbols of hate and vile words.
Article details how reporter -- pre-armed with relevant facts and cameras -- confronts neoNazis in Tennessee. | Excerpts:
Members of the Goyim Defense League harassed people in the heart of Nashville's entertainment district, berating a lesbian mom who had just left a restaurant.
Later, the neo-Nazis assaulted a bartender who had confronted the group.
"I'm curious: Why Nashville? Why did you guys choose Nashville?" I asked Minadeo.
A fellow GDL member, Nicholas Bysheim, quickly answered.
"It's the only place that respects freedom of speech," Bysheim said.
Minadeo added, "Yeah, this city respects freedom of speech, but communist Jews like yourself don't."
A Californian who moved to Florida, Minadeo leads the hate group as it goes around the country trying to create scenes that they hope will bring them attention and followers.
One of their favorite tropes: Falsely accusing Jews of being pedophiles.
Over and over, it became clear that these are people who are blind to any facts that don't support their hate.
This journalist just gave us a masterclass in everything you shouldn't do when interacting with nazis: appeals to logic, appeals to emotion, bringing up facts and logic, and ultimately platforming them. This is the kind of liberalism that promotes fascism. There is no excuse to give fascists time on TV and to platform them. There is no "debating" fascists. There is only violence.
That's exactly what I thought of. Alas, permanently gone dark in protest of Reddit's API changes. Fortunately, we have the power to create it anew! [email protected]
The Nazies sure stopped trying to have a conversation when the reporter asked if the known pedophile in their group wasn't hiding behind one of the hoods/masks.
Fantastic article. Gets right to the heart of the problem. Angry people disappointed with how their lives turned out feel like they have to cling to something. Something that gives them the value that they don’t see in themselves as individuals.
Race is an easy crutch. There are centuries of bullshit pseudoscience about skull shapes and whatnot for them to discover. And most of all, it gives them enemies. They can take all that hate and frustration they feel in their own lives and direct it outwardly.
It’s ultimately sad and pathetic. Maybe if people like this had economic opportunities, better education, etc. they wouldn’t have the underlying self-loathing that leads them down this path.
Jon Minadeo II is also an indophobe, it seems. But little does this clown know that the Aryans that these neo-Nazis claim to be, used to live in modern-day Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and north India? The word 'Arya' means noble and honorable one, and this clown is neither of that.
Just because they're Nazi's means almost anything is okay. Body shame them away. They're not going to give you or me the basics of human respect so why should I? Almost every Nazi I've met is a fat, ugly, neck beard who would rather force everyone to change around them than to change themselves. See how easy that was?
