This happened today in Sweden. Members of the so called "Nordiska MotstÄndsrörelsen" (The Nordic Resistance) marched the streets of Falun, waving their flags and banners. The group is known for their Right-extremist oppinions, publicly shown nazism, holocaust-denying and various race and gender discriminations.
During the march, the group loudly chanted about "Traitors to the country", aimed at the politicans in charge who does not share their view.
And I got to say the march looks quite a lot like something the world have seen before.
Similar? Maybe? Well, it's their role models, after all.
Protected by the democracy they oppose, the group is surrounded by Swedish Police forces, people who because of their occupation have no choice but to protect these mens "right to express their views".
As you can see, it is quite a lot of police who could have been doing their actual work around the country, but instead is stuck protecting this nazi parade.
At the end of a march, in a Square in the town Falun, the group is now gathered and protests against the multicultural country and the politicans not following their Nazi ideals.
But fortunately, the town isn't having it. Devided by fences and some police, we have the nazis to the left and those who doesn't want them in their town to the right.
Signs against them is held up high, together with other similar signs. "Didn't we say 'Never Again'?" reads the sign to the far left, reffering to the holocaust and the nazis of WWII.
"No Nazis on our streets!" reads the top part of the sign, which is also a slogan heard shouted out from the anti-nazistic crowd.
The rest of the sign reads: "Peace, equality for everyone! Love, Love" and the hashtag #barnmotnazism = #childrenagainstnazism
"Put the nazists in the trashcan" reads another big sign held by... Yes, you see right!
Clowns! When your worst childhood enemies is marching against something, it got to be bad! Clowns Against Nazis!
Then we have the organisation "Inte rasist, men..." (I'm not a racist, but...), a journalistic group working activly against racism, sexism and inequality. Their name is satiric, coming directly from the mouth of that person who starts saying "I'm not a racist, but..." and then proceeds by saying the most racist thing you've ever heard, Yes I am looking at you Sven...
The signs they are holding says "For every step, [outcrossed "5 crowns", followed by "Shitton of money!"] goes to work against antisemetism."
"A small step for a Nazi. A BIG step for humanity!"
And:
"Cheers! Soon you have participated with 20 000 crowns (roughly 2 000 USD) to scutiny of yourselves!"
According to their facebookpage (which most of these pictures is taken from), it is now up in 30.000 crowns being donated to support groups for people who have left the nazistic group, to education and awareness about antisemetism and the holocaust etc. and to organisations working for an equal society.

Anti-Nazi Togtax. While a lot of bigger things is happening around the world, I'm glad you also took a look at this. I hope that some day, we can get rid of all the hate around the world.

I agree with neither of these sides, but I will fucking die for their right to say what they want.

equityforpunks
I am not anti-nazi, but nazis are bad, mmkay... and commies are bad too, mmkay... any political stance that denies others is bad, mmkay.
CultofCedar
I'm not for nazis or anything but their wardrobe is pretty coordinated. Then again Hitler had Hugo Boss designing for him back in the day
Monkofthepast
How can you be a Nazi wannabe AND deny the holocaust? That's denying the major achievement of your particular group o fucksticks(fuck nazis)

I went to counter an EDL rally (our version of those assholes) once in my home town. About 300 assholes and 2000 locals drowning them out.

When they tried to March in Liverpool they were violently opposed and had to hide in the train station.
WhateverYouTalkedAbout
Yeah, think these people were up to 500, but couldn't verify, so didn't include numbers in the post. It's encouraging to see the locals tho
rojamb23
Wouldn't the best approach be not to give them attention? I'd just go in doors, walk past them, do whatever to not give them attention.

They are trying to save your cucked country

I will use my freedom of speech to call these people idiots, assholes and dickheads.
EzekielsRage
I could be wrong but If a tree falls in the forest and no one's around, who gives a shit if it makes a sound. Would people still gather if>
EzekielsRage
There were no cameras, spectators, or opposition. I mean seriously, if they're peaceful then giving a shit gives them what they want.(?)
EkaterineLazaros
I don't agree with them, but at least they aren't masked and burning cars. Did they have to get a permit?
ayymamacita
I get the feeling you agree with them just a teeny tiny bit
EkaterineLazaros
I only agree with their right to free speech. My family fought the Nazis in WWII. Wonder who else acts like Nazis today...
anSSLerrorhasoccuredandasecureconnectiontotheservercannotbemade
I'm not saying they're right but this is what freedom of speech looks like. To deny that is to admit some censorship is okay.
ThePickliestRick
That's why they still get to have their parade.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
You're right, but where the line needs to be drawn is we don't have to treat their opinions or beliefs a valid. But we can't outlaw stupid.
anSSLerrorhasoccuredandasecureconnectiontotheservercannotbemade
Very true! It's going to take us time to get it right. Let's hope we're all not blown to smithereens first!
WhateverYouTalkedAbout
Yes, you are absolutely right here. If we like it or not, it is their right. But I still believe it is worth noting that it's happening.
JasGill23
I'd double upvote if I could
FoxySpirit
Here, Holocaust denial is a crime. Because fuck your alt-facts. Generally, fuck Nazis for killing the funny in our culture. Great move.
WhateverYouTalkedAbout
I'm not sure about the exact laws of it here in Sweden, but criminalising it would be the best option, in my opinion.

Can't say I understand why you're downvoted :/ It is a legit question and there seems to be a lot of people not knowing. No shame in asking
IMadeThisOnlyForDestinyCodeBegging
BECAUSE IT'S THEIR FUCKING JOB! Jesus Christ... You're a fucking idiot for wishing cops who can choose who to protect and who not to.
WhateverYouTalkedAbout
Exactly. The cops doesn't really get to choose. In my own opinion, it is sad because of all resources not used where it could be of used.
WhateverYouTalkedAbout
It is their job. Our democracy means that everyone should get to express their opinion, even these people.
