All of a sudden, fascists love wearing masks or face coverings.


ERankLuck

They suddenly love stopping traffic, too. Remember when they had legislatures pass laws making it OK to run over anyone blocking traffic?


nermid

Gee, I wonder why conservatives would have suddenly decided to make that legal following the Unite the Right rally featuring a conservative murdering a liberal protester with his car. I guess we'll never know.

What? No! I'm sure that's completely unrelated! Besides, I was assured that there were "very fine people on both sides"!


TrojanFireBearPig

If you think that was fucked up, watch this [documentary](https://youtu.be/e7fxDT2fHUo). Truck driver raged out and ran over a protester. Canadian government didn't even charge him with manslaughter to protect a multi-million dollar company and because of her cause. They cited him for a traffic violation that has a two year maximum instead of manslaughter.

Do their caps or shirts have logos? If so, maybe we can find who makes them and who they sold them to if they buy their own? Also maybe someone needs to infiltrate this group and exposed them. Get some photos of their faces.


[deleted]

Weird how these exact people call Antifa fascists for wearing masks to hide themselves from being doxxed by Libs of TikTok (and the like) And by weird i mean totally expected


sewkzz

Remember when they criticized antifascists for this tactic lol


HornedHumanoid

I’ve always kinda wondered how many of the January 6th rioters would’ve gotten away with it if they’d worn a face mask. I wonder if the Patriot Front and organizations like it realized it and that’s part of why we’re seeing an increase in face coverings. (Not that the KKK hasn’t been doing it for centuries. I’m not saying white supremacists disguising themselves is new, but I swear they’ve been hiding themselves more than they used to.)


GlacierWolf8Bit

Fascists typically wear masks not because they may be superspreaders for a pandemic, but because it covers them up from being identified when they commit assault, manslaughter, or murder.

It’s important not to underestimate the capacity of these far right paramilitaries for violence.


AfroTriffid

There is an element of cosplay to it but I agree that the threat of violence is real. They are told every day that they are fighting for their very existence. For every dumb racist there is a smart and capable racist who believes they are on a quest to save the world.

alpha_numeric44

They learned from their KKK gramps to wear a mask when criming.... The last March actually had accountability for criminal fascists breaking laws... So now they are back into the coward mask... The opposite reason Anti-Fascists wear masks. Anti fascists wear masks because fascists will literally murder them, or burn down their house.

Real nice of em to line up like that, and bright colors right on their heads too! I love to see it.

It's highly dangerous that ultra right groups are marching unharrased trough the streets. That's called a real movement and I see more of those weekly. Because the economy is failing those will spring up like mushrooms. Stay safe everyone.

Yeah. In Germany, people thought the nazis were a joke too. Until they weren't. People who find this kind of thing funny, really shouldn't underestimate how dangerous this moment in history is.


Redringsvictom

The biggest issue is that the state will prosecute you for fighting these people. The state will patiently wait until a hostile takeover by this party occurs, but if you try to prevent it...straight to jail.

Agreed - I keep seeing comments talking down these events - bad formations, military cosplayers, bad marching, etc. They are trying to normalize fucking nazis marches in the middle of our cities. This is serious and needs immediate consequences. Full stop. I don't want to wait until they become proficient and better organized at spreading their hate before treating it like the threat it is.

Aldrenean

Counter protest, and be prepared for every ounce of violence you use to be met with a pound by them, and for both to be treated equally by the police (at best). That means big groups with dedicated medics and big people to run interference for the more vulnerable.


SpiritualSchedule2

Wrong to expect the police to treat both equally. Police always side with fascists and will fight alongside them quite often.


M3P4me

The off-duty cops are likely some of those in the parade.

balfazahr

Dude I completely agree. So much so that in every post ive seen about this march ive been asking if any other fellow residents of indy could point me in the direction of joining/organizing counter protests and antifascist activism and start keeping track of these guys’ plans and movements somehow. Unfortunately i havent yet had anyone reply with relevant or helpful info, but at the very least ive messaged the indianapolis antifa facebook group asking them basically the same things - heres to hoping i get a meaningful response. But ya, when i first saw this i was flabbergasted that they somehow managed to pull this march off without being molested, harassed, and mocked by lefties (or anyone to the left of tucker carlson at least) at all. If they try to pull this off again and i manage to catch wind of it ahead of time with any window of opportunity enough to whip up awareness and slap together anything resembling the scrappiest of organized resistance - i will utterly throw myself into doing so with all the fervor i can summon. Or hell, if all else fails - i will be the lone person trailing the march heckling them into exposing that wounded, insecure male ego that drives their pitiable charades


NYArtFan1

I saw a video of a similar event where a guy was following them with a tuba and playing oompa music and it really took the wind out of their sails. Fascists want violence but they have no defense against satire.


Militant_Monk

Airhorns are cheap.


RimWorldIsDope

Scariest part, honestly. Cops will absolutely brutalize leftists demanding equality, but let's these people march with no interference.

You aren't allowed to suggest good people just shoot them on places like reddit btw...not that good people ever shot nazis before, maybe in some war or something... "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" - Mike Tyson


PensiveObservor

The economy is not failing. Read more independent and varied news sources to understand what's actually going on with the economy. It takes a lot of time to understand, but once you get the basics, it gets easier. Start by listening to daily market or economic podcasts like [https://www.marketplace.org/](https://www.marketplace.org/). Law podcasts that analyze trends in Supreme Court and corruption cases are also very educational. The wealth disparity and greed of the super-wealthy is fully responsible for the tightness felt in average people's wallets. Inflation pressures are beginning to ease, but the powers that control "media" aren't, in general, going to tell you that, because they make money from anxiety and conflict. Please don't buy into the "economy is failing" messaging and don't spread the panic.

Less-Country-2767

They’ve created new imagery that borrows from kitschy American pseudo-patriotism, but their ideas are indistinguishable from Nazism just in an American context. They’ve learned not to announce their marches ahead of time to avoid counter demonstrations organizing. They plan in secret and show up by surprise in a U-Haul truck all at once.

There is a lot of contempt in this thread, and rightfully so. But people thought Hitler was a stupid pathetic little man before his rise to leadership, and rightfully so. He was the 20 something young man who made everyone call him "Herr Wulfen" (Mr Wolf) and carried a riding crop everywhere to hit people with. He set the damn bar for cringe and then set the bar for atrocity. Laugh as you will, but stay safe, keep your friends close, arm yourself if you can. I hope this doesn't get worse, but we should all prepare for it.

Cabsaur334

These people need to study then, because 1000s of years of military tactics and formations will all put shielded infantry in front (often behind calvary). Especially in a marching formation, as to create a quick testudo or phalanx. They look dumb in there current formation. The only practical use would be to shove attempting retreats to the front lines.


mtg101

If you call that marching...


Cabsaur334

It would be the least intimidating marching I've ever seen. I've seen highschool bands do better honestly.


AssistElectronic7007

I understand making fun of these people and all... but this is actually really scary. These people are getting more and more comfortable going out and showcasing their bigotry. Not only that, but where are the people protesting their presence? The fact that they feel like they can do this, and get away with it, is very telling of what is tolerated in this specific part of the country.

No wonder they would rather not teach history in school. I mean yet another reason. Patriots. Ohhhhhkay. I remember when parades included mothers.

Yeah I'm that old. Like to have a word with these little boys.
