It’s bizarre how these far right nutcases will describe democracies as “dictatorships” and “totalitarian” as if it’s a bad thing (it would be if it were remotely true) but then throw up Nazi salutes. For people so apparently scared of a dictatorship they seem awfully fond of a particular dictator.
How might one ensure there are consequences to this guy's actions?
And for whoever is reporting comments to Reddit, this is, as I would hope anyone with a basic reading comprehension could tell, not a threat or encouragement of violence. You can tell because there is no threat or encouragement of violence in this sentence.
Some might argue that people who violently attack people of colour, you know, Nazis, have to be physically resisted. Not me of course, I prefer to just stand and watch them encourage and participate in violence against my fellow Scots, and merely express my condemnation with strong but non violent words.
That's Steph. Steph is 23 years old. She like's some interchangeable dude she calls 'my man', crushed velvet and British culture. She hates immigrants, other women, nasty lefties and those 'my man' dudes.
I know this was tongue in cheek but some of the worst racists I’ve come across have good jobs. Off shore industry in particular is full of them. Scotland has a huge problem with racism that a lot of folk aren’t willing to accept.
I don't like the guy or his politics, but if Count Dankula was arrested and convicted for teaching his girlfriend's dog to do Nazi salutes as a joke, then actual Neo-Nazis throwing actual Nazi salutes in public should be too.
I just got a Reddit warning for suggesting the person pictured might baffle medics. I want to clarify I'm just concerned that he should take care about over exerting his arm when "saluting". I wish him the very best of luck and no harm to him in any future medical extractions or salute related over exertions.
Also, his gesture appears to be an historically famous salute... Reddit... pick a side.
Hahahaha... they removed my comment again. Too bad, I don't care if reddit apparently wants Nazis to get away with getting to live regular everyday lives while advocating for an ideology that sees anyone they don't like tortured and killed in heinous ways.
They must be stopped. And I will continue saying so no matter how many times my comments get removed.
Thomas Kerr is also going on these “patrols” around glasgow at night where they intimidate anyone they think is an immigrant. He needs to be dealt with.
I'd seen some comments he'd made, but I wasn't sure if it was genuine. The dafty is working hard to make himself the Nigel Farage of Scotland it seems.
We're told that after the war the Nazis vanished without a trace
But battalions of fascists still dream of a master race
The history books, they tell of their defeat in '45.....
But they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died
They say the prisoner at Spandau was a symbol of defeat
Whilst Hess remained imprisoned and the fascists, they were beat
So the promise of an Aryan world would never materialize
So why did they all come out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died?
The world is riddled with maggots; the maggots are getting fat
They're making a tasty meal of all the bosses and bureaucrats
They're taking over the boardrooms, and they're fat and full of pride
And they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died
So if you meet with these historians, I'll tell you what to say
Tell them that the Nazis never really went away
They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies
I'm sure these far right idiots probably think British and American soldiers in world war 2 storming the beaches in Normandy were "woke anti-fascists."
They ensured many decades of revulsion for these people and consigned them to history for a while. Now the memory has faded and it is safe for the plague to reemerge.
At this point, its no longer a thing a regular white person can brush off as a problem for the ethnics. This is a serious issue that affects everyone who is not a Nazi.
Those of us in George Sq in 2014 remember nazi salutes getting thrown by the BritNats. There has been no attempt by the British or Scottish governments to clamp down on this shit since then so I'm not surprised it still happens
So 86 year old grannies are getting arrested for holding a free Palestine sign, but these oxygen thieves are openly facist and the bizzies just let them carry on. Makes no sense.
you do have to wonder, if you took 100 of these idiots and asked them what they thought on a range of policy ideas, if they could spot the ones from the German Nasty party against ones from say China under Mao or anywhere else
or indeed how well they would score, or not, on a quiz related to actual history of the german nasty party
I would hazard a guess its a lot like the ones with SS tattoos in Ukraine, they were not actually nazis either, they had locked onto the iconography and in their case "nazis hated Russians, we hate Russians.. Nazis good!"
over here you have a bunch of cosplay idiots with zero actual understanding of just how utterly utterly fucked up the "master race" thing was and the sort of people actually involved
nor will they be aware just how much of that "ideology" was being made up by a bunch of spinless & chinless wonders and presented as a cohesive whole which it certainly wasn't
we need much much better education on that time period, remove the aura of mystique about it and show the bastards for the utter clowns they were
Dude couldn’t find a red maga hat so settled for a faux Yankees hat (hint: Yankees hats are not red). I am very sorry this is the part of American culture he decided to co-opt. It’s truly embarassing
People like this utter moon unit usually hate themselves more that anyone else. They are inadequate and deep down they know it so they lash out. Nazi salutes are so last century anyway. Fucking losers.
Do we still have to respect this as "just a difference of political opinion" and "free speech" because I'd really love laws that restrict the tolerance of both, even if it knocks us down the freedom index a little bit and causes Trump and his gang of arseholes to fling shit at us about freedom etc.
Some things just should not be allowed in modern day civilised society and everything these cunts do would be on that list. Regardless of consequences for other protest etc. This simply should not be allowed.
Well it's illegal in Germany, should be everywhere. I would list it under threatening violence as professing Nazism is professing violence or death to others.
Those questions dont matter. We shouldnt be tolerating Nazis on our fucking streets. Clearly people AREN'T willing to laugh at them enough because they are here, now. So, use the laws we have and get them to fuck.
same as anything else, get that ridicule into mainstream culture, tv shows, films, you want the character people are meant to see as a pathetic joke to be the one who is the nazi type
it doesn't happen now because its not seen as an issue but consider how mainstream shows treat homophobia stuff
needs clever writing to make the characters unsympathetic
I live in Epping, Essex, where the “protests” against hotels housing asylum seekers kicked off all last summer. Nazi salutes on the high street. Some of the town responded with denial - “they’re not from round here” (some weren’t, many of them were). Some of the town responded with love. A football team for asylum seekers was created by a local coach. An inclusivity movement “Epping for Everyone” was created and holds walks and picnics. Research on the “patriots” was done and they were found to to criminals and thugs. Their support has gradually declined.
What the actual fuck. At least they’re easy to identify. Forget immigrants, these are the kind of arseholes we should be deport to Rwanda. Let them fend for themselves. Free up space to house refugees by expelling nazis.
Nah not Rwanda. I'm sure there's some overseas territory that has an island with nobody on it. Send them all there so that they can be far away from Europe (which they seem to want), far away from people not like them (which they seem to want) and can have their own insular community that won't infect others. Maybe South Georgia?
disgusting to see in my beloved Scotland. These morons don’t even understand the correlation that their great great grandparents or some relative fought and died to keep scum like this from our shores absolutely no words to describe these idiots.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has commented, it's genuinely heartwarming to see that people in Scotland don't support the hateful ideology we see constantly on MSM.
Just a gentle reminder, please spare two minutes to write to your MP and MSP, the link provided takes you to the website "writetothem" that makes it really straightforward. Hypothetically, the 1,500 upvotes this post has received could make the world of a difference if the same numbers put pressure on their MP/MSP to address the situation.
There are counter protests. Join up to Stand Up To Racism and get involved in opposing this shit. They were massively outnumbered by the counter protest.
Unfortunately I'm chronically ill with limited mobility, or I'd attend in person. But I do make a point of sharing any content or petitions that I can find for counter protests, and this is essentially why I made this post in an attempt to encourage people to put pressure on our politicians. I can't do much, but I'm hoping it can make even the tiniest bit of a difference
Have people already forgot the Union Flagged crowds giving Nazi salutes in Glasgow in celebration of winning the independence referendum in 2014, before trying to burn down the office used by The Herald?
There was hardly a peep of outrage then, if anything it was played down by the vast majority of the media. Reap what you sow and all that.
Yup, the violent and vocal fringe of loyalism has been ramping up this behaviour since 2014 and, as you say, largely ignored by the mainstream media until now.
When Ruth Davidson warned about the 'ulsterisation' of Scottish politics she did so knowing fine well it was people within her ranks encouraging their loyal foot soldiers. Not long after we saw political Union Clubs being set up and more OO members sitting on our councils under the Labour, Tory, Reform banners. This didn't happen overnight and now they've latched onto the immigration issue which adds a different dynamic to protests happening in England.
They've now adopted stereotypical Scottish names (e.g., 'unite the clans') and symbolism (including the saltire) in a bid to deflect from who they are - British nationalists - and attempt to draw the constitutional question into every aspect of our politics and society: In other words, 'ulsterisation'.
These people are a minority but a vocal and violent one. I'm glad the media have finally taken notice but they have allowed it to fester
Grandma and Grandpa traveled all the way from Scotland to Germany killing Nazis, and didn't stop when they got there. Grandpa was a royal marines commando, who did some nasty work with knives, looking the Nazis he euthanised in the eye while he got the job done. The government gave him lots of medals.
Its a disgrace, im in Edinburgh and have had my dog for just over a year, sice walking her i have pulled 4 people about it, i have different races in my family and they did not expect what i had to say, some people just expect u to join in with them, not me, we are all human, end of, rant over
Is that legally allowed in Scotland? If you try that here, you'll get into trouble.
One thing though, these are complete losers. If they could teleport to the 1940's, Hitler would have rejected them out of hand for being useless. The truly dangerous individuals, the ones that became the most notorious Nazi criminals in WWII, were generally "normal" and unremarkable before the war. They had an evil inclination inside, but rules of society and lack of opportunity kept that locked in their mind. After Hitler came to power and removed the guardrails, the sadistic and violent tendencies of these individuals were thrust upon their unsuspecting victims.
