Plaintiff Brown not only lost a $50,000 a year gig as an electrician’s assistant, he also “became estranged from his father, who required him to leave the Brown residence,” the suit records.

"Get your racist ass the fuck out of my house." Gotta love it.

Do these people ever just stop for a moment and ask themselves why people react with such disgust when their views are exposed?

It's particularly weird because most (all?) of the racists I've known in my life are constantly looking around for other people that share their views by making dog-whistle comments (or explicitly racist comments for that matter). Like, they're never content to just keep their racism to themselves and are perpetually looking for affirmation from others - if you need that much approval from others, why not adopt views that aren't so abhorrent?

Props to the dad for telling him to fuck off. Usually people learn this sort of ugly behavior from their family. This just seems extra sad that homeboy went out and got this way on his own

The answer to the question "do Nazis self reflect" is no.

They need to be the victim.

To some of these people the fact that they are rejected by most people just confirms how s have corrupted modern society and how awesome and special they are for being one of the chosen greats to see through it.

They mainline confirmation bias as if it is cheap heroin. Everything reinforces their world view.

Dad, you just don't understand how brainwashed you are with contagious wokeness! The white race is being persecuted and is dying. You need to wake up!

If you really, really think you're right and everyone else is wrong, then everyone's disgust is simply misplaced. They'll come around. By force, if necessary.

Pick some crime you abhor. Now imagine 90% of people thought it was OK. That's how they see the world. "There's a war going on that everyone refuses to see, and the white race is losing it." They don't care how abhorrent you think they are because they are on the "right side". They are the "freedom fighters".

I've asked my parents a number of times whether or not it ever gives them pause knowing that they vote exactly the same way as literal, flag waving nazis. They never answer. At this point, I think I'm just mistakenly ingratiating them into the false idea that nazi ideology "must not be that bad."

As an attorney, I would absolutely love to have subpoena and discovery power against right wing loons. I’m surprised they sued in the first place.

Heard from a friend; Just as real champagne only comes from France, only facists from Germany can be called Nazis. All others a simply sparkling facists.

Not to undercut you, but a study of German police and such recently found there are a LOT of Nazis gaining power...

I mean, I hate white nationalism just as much as the next guy. But if you go around making it illegal to be anonymous or part of a particular group, whether they're considered terrorist or otherwise, that's bad. It gives the next party in power precedent to make being part of your group illegal. That's why freedom of speech is so important.

I think associating with a group that believes in the creation of an ethnostate should remain legal so that associating with a group that believes in the dismantling of capitalism remains legal.

It should be 100% illegal to be anonymous to be part of a domestic terrorist groups our a hate group like this.

Now, define "domestic terrorist group" and "hate group" and do so in such a way that someone explicitly looking to attack the causes you believe in can't manage to count people you support in either of those groups. Because that's the hard part.

Also the bit where you have to throw out the 1st Amendment - freedom of speech that doesn't apply to even wildly unpopular ideas isn't actually freedom of speech because only unpopular ideas ever need protecting and exactly how far into unpopular, hated, reviled and abhorrent ideas you have to go before things become illegal is exactly how strong those freedoms are. Henry Louis Mencken once wrote, “The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.”

Just imagine a hard right fundie christian conservative judge getting to rule whether or not a group falls under the definitions you give, and they'll rule it accurately for any hard and fast cases but also will use any flexibility you give against you.

You were spotted in the mob, Now you’ve lost your fucking job.

If you’re a Nazi and you’re fired, It’s your fault 👏👏

Absolutely nailed the cadence, well done

8am and my day is already fucking great having read this.

They're not sending their best and brightest, folks

Yes they are.

I hadn't even heard about this suit, barely knew Patriot Front existed, and didn't have a clue about any leaks prior to reading this article, and now due to the suit I know them by name. Nice publicity stunt?

I'm pretty sure these are their best and brightest

I agree these people are bad, but if you're on the left at a protest, hide your face also. It's not worth exposing your identity to potential employers or the police. Hiding your identity isn't just a fascist thing. Everyone should be doing it.

files in court with their legal names, creating a permanent public record

Good job 👏 bot

Dude sounds like how the mobsters talk about the "boogyman" in John Wick. Less discrediting and more showing how much they fear him.
