The inside-the-law approach that works to some limited extent is public community rejection. Things like large groups showing up and standing with their back to the Nazis.

The method that has historically stopped Nazis like this involves getting some level of police cooperation and beating them up

So let me get this straight, you want to commit mass murder, but you also don’t want to get hit? Idk, man, seems a little hypocritical.

I always read it as a guy who saw war movies where people cower in fear of Nazi officers so he went outside expecting the same results.

I had the misfortune of working with that guy before he went mask-off. weird fucking dude who couldn’t stop hitting on the women in the office

Not that it justifies or excuses anything at all, but I definitely think there’s a pipeline from the, like, Joe Rogan / Andrew Tate segment of the toxic manosphere that leads down this path. There are probably opportunities to save some of these people before their craving for attention leads them to hate

Stochastic terrorism is the keyword. Blame edgy creators like PewDiePie for this. He exposed hateful people and ideas to his audience. He has no remorse while calling for genocide of brown people, writing “death to all Jews” or saying n-word with hard r. He also promoted imperialist, bat-shit crazy books to his fanbase.

A bucket of paint works better. Then you can follow them more easily and put a brick through their window.

Nazis are about a populist show of power to intimidate political enemies. You combat them by 1. Not being intimidated 2. Do whatever you can to show them their ideas are not popular and that they are out umbered 3. Don’t throw bricks. Throw milkshakes.

Surviving brick attack: harrowing, heroic, convinces base they are political heroes defending ideas people desperately want to silence.

Surviving milkshake attack: Humiliating, no way to spin it to make yourself looks like a serious defender of liberty. Shows that people aren’t so afraid of fascist ideas they’ll do anything to stop it, they just think fascists are blowhard assholes.

Fascism and Nazism is all about projecting power against a treating political group. They want to see themselves as the white knights of serious, professional defense of an ideology. Tp defeat them, you have to suck the wind out of their sails by making them look silly and showing them that they’re just a bunch of angry nerds.

But that’ll bring all the boys to the yard.
