This is America, the place that's legalizing marijuana by having states gradually ignore federal law. Authority is a little more nebulous here.

This is America, the place that's legalizing marijuana by having states gradually ignore federal law. Authority is a little more nebulous here.

And that's one of the important features of the whole America thing.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

Laws are only upheld if people give a shit about them, really.

Again, the already-citizens are positively affected by immigration.

try with some facts next https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/110th-congress-2007-2008/reports/12-6-immigration.pdf

I already posted a link to a paper. LINK WAR IT IS THEN. or we could, you know, talk

This is it, this is our time, brothers. USA's National Socialist Movement is trying to "go mainstream" by rebranding without the swastikas. Their website hasn't caught up yet:
http://www.nsm88.org/ (Warning: Neo Nazi website)

The Odal rune, a less-well-known Nazi Germany symbol, will take the place of the swastika on all official uniforms and banners.

Oh right, so they're going to "go mainstream" by making the Hitler-loving Nazi regalia slightly more obscure.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Oh god, they hired a corporate synergy manager.

[Reelya]

They're wondering why they're not treated as a serious political party. Clearly it's just the swastikas, and replacing that with the Odal Rune ᛟ will fix everything:

Warning: Swastikas:

[Frumple]

Oh god, they hired a corporate synergy manager.

Either that or someone in the organization got drunk enough to start thinking like one.

That said, seriously ree, you probably need to not be linking/hotlinking that site and those images. Even above possible ToS violations, we have german posters and that stuff can cause 'em some trouble. Y'might not have to, but courtesy and all that. Cheers, ree.

[Silverthrone]

Damn nazis be appropriating my culture again! >:

The best part is that a lot of nazis seems to have a pretty difficult time drawing a swastika. Imagine them trying to draw an ᛟ with that stellar coordination of theirs...

Fair enough, i removed the image link from their own website completely, but left an (indirect) link from the mainstream news site which covered the story. Although, yeah, Helgoland is German after all.

People will probably think it's some sort of Jesus Fish.

EDIT: seriously, however, if they start electing NSM city councillors then that's a sign that IT'S TIME TO GET OUT. Coincidentally, the other story today was about California and New York regions seceding and joining Canada. If USA goes literally Nazi then that starts to look like the sensible option.

[wierd]

No. That is not a sensible option.

That leaves nazis with nukes on hand, in charge of said nukes.  You WONT be safe from them just because you wave a maple leaf instead of the stars and stripes.

The sensible option is to vehemently oppose their rule.

[Max™]

For those who don't have whichever text install that symbol is from, it's like literally a jesus fish.

Rotate this 90 degrees counterclockwise: ><> and make it more square.

Also, going back to the sanctuary cities thing, as they note, and as has been demonstrated repeatedly in the past: when people don't have to fear deportation they report crimes and assist authorities rather than at best trying to self-police or at worst just accepting crime in their communities. Eliminating sanctuary cities will result in a basically instant downturn in illegal immigrants reporting criminal behavior or seeking assistance when the victims of crime.

[Frumple]

Of course, for some folks, that's more feature than bug...

[wierd]

Of course, police violence in the US (surprise, because the cops are paranoid of normal citizens, powering a cycle of paranoia and protectionism, which becomes hatred-- thin blue line and all.) already does that to normal citizens, and not just minority or immigrant citizens.....

[wierd]

and the ord rune looks more like a text version of "the white ribbon campaign" campaign symbolism. "White ribbon! For a "better" america!"


(blech)

But it appears to have already been taken.

ANd not by a hate group either. good.

Still, I wonder if that would stop them from trying to mainstream their silliness
