Article details how reporter – pre-armed with relevant facts and cameras – confronts neoNazis in Tennessee. | Excerpts:

Members of the Goyim Defense League harassed people in the heart of Nashville’s entertainment district, berating a lesbian mom who had just left a restaurant.

Later, the neo-Nazis assaulted a bartender who had confronted the group.


“I’m curious: Why Nashville? Why did you guys choose Nashville?” I asked Minadeo.

A fellow GDL member, Nicholas Bysheim, quickly answered.

“It’s the only place that respects freedom of speech,” Bysheim said.

Minadeo added, “Yeah, this city respects freedom of speech, but communist Jews like yourself don’t.”

A Californian who moved to Florida, Minadeo leads the hate group as it goes around the country trying to create scenes that they hope will bring them attention and followers.

One of their favorite tropes: Falsely accusing Jews of being pedophiles.


Over and over, it became clear that these are people who are blind to any facts that don’t support their hate.

These are really pathetic human beings.

They are the only ones who seem not to know it.

This journalist just gave us a masterclass in everything you shouldn’t do when interacting with nazis: appeals to logic, appeals to emotion, bringing up facts and logic, and ultimately platforming them. This is the kind of liberalism that promotes fascism. There is no excuse to give fascists time on TV and to platform them. There is no “debating” fascists. There is only violence.

Please, this is the most important comment here. There is nothing to be gained from communicating with a Nazi. Even when they’re playing nice

Zero tolerance, nazi punks fuck off

Punching seems too nice when blades exist.

Imagine being so wrapped up in your hateful bullshit that you are terrifying young children on the street and you still think you are the good guy.

No, no, grown men making little girls cry is just normal and an essential part of free speech.

Anyone remember r/BeholdTheMasterRace? It was pretty funny. Plus, it’s always good fun to dunk on racists.

That’s exactly what I thought of. Alas, permanently gone dark in protest of Reddit’s API changes. Fortunately, we have the power to create it anew! !beholdthemasterrace@lemmy.ml

Goyim Defense League

That would be funny if they were 16 and not fully grown men.
