MODERATORS
 

The group left in a U-Haul box truck that was driven out of the county, police said, indicating the demonstrators were outsiders.

A small group of neo-Nazis marched in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, drawing a few vocal opponents and ultimately leaving following a "challenge," police said.

The demonstrators, all men, wore red, long-sleeve T-shirts and black pants, and some carried black Nazi flags, according to verified social media video from the scene.

"Neo-Nazi demonstrators ... carried flags with swastikas, walked around the Capitol and parts of downtown Saturday afternoon," Nashville police said in a statement.

No arrests were reported, and the group left in a U-Haul box truck that ultimately exited greater Nashville, police said, indicating the demonstrators may have been from out of town.

"Some persons on Broadway challenged the group, most of whom wore face coverings," the department said. "The group headed to a U-Haul box truck, got in, and departed Davidson County."

Lemmy is actually leftist unlike Reddit.

Telling Nazis they should follow Hitler’s lead and kill themselves is just a Tuesday here.

People need to start taking the paradox of tolerance seriously.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Is there a general paradox of compromise, where the assumption that everything has a middle ground is wrong? The paradox of intolerance would be a specific example, but there is also the idea that common ground can always be found between two opposing sides.

For example someone against the death penalty because the courts keep putting innocent people on death row aren't going to compromise on some acceptable number of innocent people dying.

Edit: bunch of morons downvoting because they apparently assume the worst in someone being curious while still on topic. Someone answered that what I was looking for was the Golden Mean Fallacy.

"How do I compromise with someone who wants to put me standing at a wall and shoot me? Stand sideways?"

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The compromise is to put them in jail.

They want to kill you, so instead of killing them, just jail them.

I know it was rhetorically, just wanted to give that answer.

And how well did that work with Adolph Hitler? History seems to suggest that jailing would-be Fascist dictators only delays the inevitable, and tends to work in their favor by galvanizing their followers over the "injustice" of their incarceration. For moral and ethical reasons, I truly wish that were the appropriate response. History says it isn't nearly as final as the solutions these maniacs devise for their scapegoats.

Fascism doesn’t happen cause of single individuals, it’s caused by a country going through turmoil. Those individuals, that always existed, finally get a significant audience at that time.

If your talking about root cause fixes, you got to fix the decaying system.

And were followed to wherever they parked their mom's cars, and were shot, thrown in a pile, and burned, as is customary with Nazis and Fascists right?

They went back to the library where they work as janitors.
