Fuck the Nazis and anyone who wants to be one

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We should have never stopped punching nazis

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

I didn't get that memo. Still punching

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 151 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Takes a special kind of French citizen to wear a Nazi cap.

Just for historical record context, every country in Europe either had clown set up like this or at least some clown fucking sympathizers volunteering for the cause.

If Germany was gonna be this degenerate, than Japan did it too.

This is a human condition that requires a human solution.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yep. about 10% of all countries have some assholes who want authoritarianism.

At the very least.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

100% of countries have some assholes who want authoritarianism

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes. I was trying to say it's about 10%

[–] Kwakigra@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago

Not that special, unfortunately.

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 126 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Here in the US they wouldn't even have the shame to drop out.

[–] CaptainEffort@sh.itjust.works 57 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And a lot of people wouldn’t even care

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 43 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, far too many people would cheer it on a some sort of "own the libs" "joke"

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly right. They might consider it initially, but then they'd realize that they got an increase in support from the MAGA base and they'd lean into it.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

Polling bonus for triggering the libs.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

It would be a talking point if they were republican

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They would be smiling in their official public portrait while wearing it and throwing Heil Hitler arms

I really wish we could start treating Nazis like we used to

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 59 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Make No mistake, every single one of the RN members would gladly wear a Nazi hat and behave as such, if they didn't have to appear reasonable to access power. They are a hateful and violent group. This party has been co-founded in 1972 by a former SS. Their plan for France is not to kick out migrants and reenforce safety, no, no, no. Their plan is to destroy freedom of speech and press, destroy education, destroy the "Rules of law" (L'État de droit), militarize police and racial cleansing.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Its so weird that of all countries to infiltrate and corrupt, the country famous for rioting and executing leadership wouldnt really be high on my priority list

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 54 points 1 year ago

Self reports are going strong lately for european fascists. Hope more follow suit

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 22 points 1 year ago

Is this satire or for real? I can't tell anymore.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Sounds like Nazi's were too kind on the western front.

Where did she even find the hat?

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Grandpa decided to move back from Argentina.

[–] Icalasari@fedia.io 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Countries let some nazis live in exchange for research

Turns out that was a Bad Idea

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

US deff had these guys trying to white wash germany through 1970s and then their crotch fruit are still around spreading that shit.

They are not nazis, they are "history enjoyers"

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

They're not white supremacists, they just "celebrate their European ancestry".

[–] Sensationalglyph@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Article elaborates, she took the photo at an arms market

[–] vfreire85@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

i'd have problems with that pic even if it was some sort of stalag kink.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So is it possible this was done as some kind of joke?

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

It's like you can't even be a rightwing fascist without people jumping to conclusions when you're photographed wearing Nazi memorabilia! This is cancel culture, which is clearly the worst problem in society. /s

[–] joneskind@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I didn't know LeMonde has an English version. Nice

I'm honestly surprised she even bothered withdrawing. It's far from the first picture of a RN candidate in Nazi outfits we find. I'm glad but she did, but I'm surprised.

[–] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

They need to get a better image consultant. She's quitting for the very reason she was appealingly to her supporters.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

European values are showing again.

[–] hilly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Honestly thought this was a picture of a Mighty Boosh character as I scrolled past. Be better if it was.

[–] Julien_catanese@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

she withdrew from the legislative candidacy today apparently.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

That solves that, then, I suppose?
