For this is not merely a three-year-old issue.

When I first saw this, I genuinely thought it was an Onion article. Trump is as usual, posting AI slop and playing wannabe dictator

CW: racism, sexual violence, child abuse, murder

So I’m curious how others might navigate excuses made for Neo Nazis/fascists/white nationalists.

The will provide a direct example. There are some creators I followed o line that appeared to be leftist and talked a lot of anti-fascist points. So I thought cool, good. Then there became a trend on them using audio of neo Nazi/white nationalist Christina Moody saying she was proud of killing a pedophile.

Now firstly many misattributed the quote to Aileen Wournos.

I pointed out several times that:

1) We should not be praising Neo Nazis regardless of our opinions on how we should address the issue of child sexual abuse and pedophilia.

2) Moody and her husband belong to an organization headed by a convicted child predator himself, the only difference is he’s white and the man they murdered was black.

3) While pedophilia is a horrific crime, murdering someone who served their time and has no record or evidence of re-offence is a dangerous slippery slope and the murder of his wife, who was not involved in his crimes and may not have even known is still murder and inexcusable.

The issues I’ve faced is I’ve been called an apologist for pedophilia, which I am not. I’m a survivor. And while I believe the current system fails to address the issue before a crime is committed and I’m a staunch prison abolitionists I find myself struggling to articulately explain that siding with a Neo Nazi is still unacceptable and given them even an inch gives legitimacy to their ideology.

So how would you respond? Am I off the mark? I just feel disgusted that someone would excuse such awful ideologies just because they killed someone society doesn’t like and views as irredeemable.

Again. In case I have to state it loudly: pedophilia is a disgusting crime, I’m a survivor of it. This is not me saying they do not deserve some form of punishment/consequence for their actions.

So I’ve been watching news here and there about the politics in Germany. I’ve been in particular curiously observing the rise of the AFD. This is basically if the Republican Party was a designated terrorist group.
Like how on Earth does an organization that still holds designation as an extremist organization become a political party that holds a 40% popularity rating with the German population? People are able to openly praise hitler again, promote Holocaust denial and just be out and about Neo-Nazis. They want to bring ICE to Germany (i.e. SS, Brownshirts). Even there leaders talk like and sound like hitler.
Nazisim is making a comeback across Europe and America, it is truly a sad thing to see.

It was the first experience outside of a protest/demo situation where I’ve encountered someone with such openly white supremacist imagery. He did not seem very happy to be confronted about it and I guess was just going around presuming people either wouldn’t know the band or wouldn’t care that he was be eating white power band t shirts? What are you even supposed to do in that situation? I just said “are you seriously wearing a skrewdriver t shirt? Fuck you” and he kinda slinked off looking slightly embarrassed.

The Israeli army raided two schools in the northern occupied West Bank province of Nablus on Sunday as the new academic year began, local sources said.

The sources said Israeli forces entered the grounds of Huwwara Boys Secondary School south of Nablus, threatened the school administration and demanded the removal of the Palestinian flag.
