Tactical beer buy

If they're so proud, why are they hiding their faces?

Srsly thats impossible in a German town. It's like trying to remove all the sand
Phenome
I would actually be really interested to know the average IQ among neo nazis. They just seem so stupid.
DamnedAustin
A mass of idiots led by a handful of people intelligent enough to disillusion them. Imperium is a GREAT movie on the topic.
XAMANDER
No beer for the Trump supporters.

OldManTaylor
What’s the point of dressing up to march with your nazi friends if you’re just gonna cover your face? Are you ashamed of something?
stronomer
That's what we do. Mostly hating Nazis and liking beer.
YouGotBird
Self loathing and alcohol. What a great mix.
stronomer
Actually humanism and culture. We're not talking about the piss that's sold as "beer" elsewhere.
stronomer
Good craft and microbrew beer explicitly excepted from this - anywhere!
Shilling4Shekels
And bending over for Islamists, a very important one that you missed.
stronomer
You apparently have no idea of what you are talking about. Very brave!

(a) You should look up the fallacy "cherrypicking". (b) That claim has been taken back later. (c) Why are you changing your imgur name?

i like your way of debunking, stronomer.

Germans fighting Nazis better than Americans these days

"The Germans; you just can't stay mad at them!"
BitchButcher
Bad idea. Now they might start doing political work at their gathering. give them alcohol so everyone can see how they misbehave.

Excuse-finding level: pro
PangolinBan
You and The Hill missed the best part: they didn't buy all the alcohol in the village - the only place that had any left for sale was 1/2
PangolinBan
2/2 the immigrant-run kebab shop.
kkanne20
America does not have a monopoly on idiots.
Suo9
No alcohol for those who can't afford to loose any braincells
UpVoteDragons
Hmmm have these people tried not being Nazis?
UpVoteDragons
Seems not being a Nazi has a lot of perks. Beer. Not having to carry tiki torches in your car. Oh and ya get invited to more cook outs.
worhan666
I'm confused, everything nazi related is banned in Germany, but there's a nazi music festival?
YouGotBird
Asking the right questions.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Think of them as off-brand nazis. Like the 'sugary maize flakes presented by Lenny the Lion' of fascism.
henryvk
The neo-nazi scene is very good at skirting the bans on nazi symbols. For instance they'll use different sun crosses instead of swastika etc
henryvk
Re nazi music: it's hard to police what bands *actually* do and say when performing as opposed to what's on the concert flyer
ElaineThreepwood
They're not calling it a nazi music festival. It's "just" right winged music. Unfortunately, these assholes know how to trick the law.
RPCd
Euphemism treadmill you can use other words or signs to transport the same message.
worhan666
Anyways, I want to join the beer buying part, they have some good stuff over there
Lylafrecklerebel
Technically it's not a festival. It's an assembly. That's why the law can ban alcohol too.
CatsIsTheAnswer
In Italy they call themselves sovereignist or identitarian, for example. Fascist can be smart, like rats crawling out of sewers
Shilling4Shekels
You're right, fascists can be smart like rats, but commies are the sewer itself.
Megamastermetamememaker
you got some problem, mate ?
CatsIsTheAnswer
How are communists of any relevance? Do you see any communists here, in this room? Don't worry, they can't harm you! *hug*
KartFnocker
sewers provide essential service and are an all-important piece of infrastructure. Good luck living in a populated place if the sewer fails
KartFnocker
got a silent downvoter that prefers to live in shit, I guess
Gantzz321
think of it like MAGA supporters, not really full on waving the nazi flag, but the ideas are the same.
IAmAngry
So "Make America Great Again" is Nazzi agenda? 50% of americans are Nazzi? Or you just can't handle your TDS?
Gantzz321
when Nazi ideals match exactly that of Right Wingers then they get called what they are, Nazi's. This does not apply to all conservatives.
IAmAngry
i clearly read "MAGA SUPPORTERS" and not right wing... there are 50% MAGA supporters in USA that has nothing to do with radical right wing
Gantzz321
also more like 41% on a good day,
fragfrog
No, they are "really full on waving the nazi flag", just not in front of police or a camera.
Gantzz321
sure some are, but the majority are just to stupid to know what they are supporting, and would deny it when confronted
fragfrog
Nahhh, just look at those douchegutters, look at them: https://www.flickr.com/photos/97583384@N08/40721423045/in/album-72157694092234411/

that is part of "some are", not all MAGAtards are that open and honest about it

First we take their beer then we take their scalps

Police actually confiscated the beer they had. https://www.dw.com/en/german-police-confiscate-4200-liters-of-beer-from-neo-nazis/a-49303945

Honey, why is all this beer in the garage? “I’m fighting Nazis”

In some cases it might look exactly like that
LegendOfTheCrack
Some ? That's a literal ton of cases right there.
TheDuckDuck
I read the police confiscated around 4200 liters aswell... :)
NitroTheEpic
Good on them for confiscating 4000 liters.
lordofthedice
Hey, we've got these 3900 liters here to turn over to evidence.
MADMAN5465
Yed captain 3500 liters of beer
dogmatix
Every beer I drink is one that the Nazis don't get!
Icanhearwhatyouresayingandtheanswerisno
This shall henceforce be my life motto
Aprilmadness
The more beer I drink the more nazi I become however. Jokes I just cry when drunk.
Rosie2003
Sounds like a classic Randy move
FailedCrate
"Funfact": one of the federal police cops which was on duty there, wore right wing patches. Even more worrying since we had heavy cases...
FailedCrate
..of right wing terrorism, plots, assaults. Further cases of police/ army personal with racist/ antisemitic/ fascist views. Stolen ammo, ...
FailedCrate
..plots against journalists/ lawyers.. The list goes on. Source on the state cop: https://m.focus.de/politik/deutschland/ostritz-irritatione
FailedCrate
Props on the citizens of Ostritz though. Saxony is very right wing infested. So even more props to 'em!
worldsokayestspeler
Did you know that in germany you can go to jail for displaying swastikas/doing the nazi salute?
5NoteHalf
GOOD.
BravelittleStuG
Thats why a lot of the fuckers who visited that festival taped over their facistlover tattoes so they cant be seen
alecdshope
France is similar (go figure). You can't sell Nazi memorabilia, either.
TheOneWhoWasLeft
Lookit. A random imgurian knows this. Why does police in frigging Chemnitz not know this?
alwaysupvotefuturama
They like to do it too
TheOneWhoWasLeft
Ach fuck ey. Can't win in friggin Sachsen.
Mundr2012
Trust me when I say, they find other ways to live their hate... it's actually quite hard to prosecute these scumbags
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Depends. It's legal in an educational or artistic context.
GrandProtectorDark
They slso recently allowed videogames to use it
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Yes, because they finally count video games as art.
Megamastermetamememaker
I wish every country with a terrible past ( so almost every country) would have been that honest and actively dealing with that like Germany
aintnothinbutahounddog28
They also got ROCKED as a defeated country. That thorough of a defeat will change any country and force it to learn, willing or no
Megamastermetamememaker
and I'm not a German and my family had to suffer from them during WW2. But I'd wish the US, Japan, Turkey and others would act similarily
elgalileo
And rightfully so.
chloramphenicolderivative
It's okay to ban ideologies, as long as it's not mine
Tytanz
Exactly. But no one wants to admit it.
BaronSpaghetti
Especially ideologies that tried to violently take over the world and commit genocide.
Jamerperson
Knowing Germany, that had to be A LOT of beer!
Ardmhor
They have drinks markets. Like a shop that just does liquids. So much money was spent this day
skaazi
Shop owners are waiting impatiently for the next nazi rally

A bottle for every man, woman, and child in Ostriz (pop: 2307). That sounds exactly like the stock of a German supermarket to me.
JustTryingToHelpDude
thats about right, but normally we have 2-3 markets with that stock, so its a *little* sad.

oh, so, a long weekend's worth then?

Just a German Tuesday afternoon.
BranAlastor
Am german, can confirm.
SecretImigurianLurkerAgent
Yes bought out a local super market so the neo nazi idiots don't fuck up the town with their little festival
TroelsyTwo
That and you can just drive to the next shop. Or pretend to not be a Nazi and help them buy in the first place.
FoxySpirit
Beer was also banned on festival grounds.
SecretImigurianLurkerAgent
On their festival beer is banned and most of them aren't that bright.
EndeGelaende
hard to pretend you're not a nazi when 95% of those guys have racist and nazi symbols tattooed on most of their body
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
Ya cuz long sleeves, hats, & pants are illegal. Anyone who actually cared about hiding their Nazi tats doesn't display it on their face...
DukeofKMS
They are to stupid, not to show they are Nazis.
NiceLegsDaisyDukesMakesAMAAANOUTOFYOOOUUUU
That's hard when they gotta do the Heil like it's "Reeeeed Robin~!"
kuemmel
It's a form of protest: "You aren't welcome here". Doesn't matter if it's effective at stopping them from drinking beer.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
So like most protests then? Make a lot of noise & attention but don't actually do anything to accomplish their goal? The rally still occured
kuemmel
Yet, you read about it. About a small German town fighting nazis and showing them their place, without even confronting them. It's beautiful
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
No they didn't fight them. The goal of the Nazi's was to throw a rally and accomplish whatever goal they had for being there. An uproar that
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
Showing up to the rally and actively preventing them from actually continuing with the activity like barricading would have worked better.
sakasiru
There was a Nazi rally once and people declared it a donation walk and donated money to a refugee cause for every kilometer the Nazis walked

I know an excuse when I hear one.......
