Summary

Neo-Nazi demonstrations in the U.S. are surging, with 34 rallies reported in 2024 across 16 states, up from 4 in 2021.

Groups like Blood Tribe and Hate Club 1488 increasingly use Nazi imagery and target immigrants, shifting from prior focus on drag shows and Pride events.

These extremists exploit Trump-era rhetoric and GOP anti-immigrant campaigns to normalize their ideas and recruit.

Ohio and Tennessee have become hotspots, with groups holding armed rallies and stoking fear in liberal cities.

Experts warn this rising visibility risks mainstreaming hate and escalating domestic terror threats.

And to the older kids in the crowd, don’t forget to rebuild your nazi punching arm if you thought it was safe to retire it

Before 2 years ago, I didn’t hear about this much but now it is common.

I would say the ramp-up started in 2016. No idea why though…

It would be a real shame if someone accidentally dumped neon magenta pink food dye on them.

It’s good when we do it. It’s bad when fascists do it.

These attempts to humiliate often just lend more power to the victims anyway.

Nah, nazis depend on the appearance of strength, publicly humiliating them is very effective.

Which is why I wrote food dye. The point is to stain them with a scarlet letter, not blind or kill them.

If there’s one thing these assholes cannot stand, it’s being made fun of. They are desperate to be taken seriously.

Just ask Mel Brooks if you don’t believe me.

There were no two sides of the same coin with nazis. They were objectively terrible.

History is written by winners. However, even with the most controversial groups you’ll often find some ‘nobel’ initial intention. For the nazis theres none.

History is written by the winners.

The South never let that stop them. They’re still lying about states rights, and Southern Revisionism.

The Civil War didn’t really end, it just went cold. They immediately started writing revisionist history and trying to control the narrative. What’s really fascinating is the rapid transition in how African American men started being depicted in media - before, happy go lucky “Sambos,” after, savage rapists. The dismantling of social services in the south is largely to prevent black folks from accessing them. Slavery never really ended - the last person enslaved without being convicted of a crime was freed during World War 2.
