          The united states has the largest prisoner population in the world, wherein slave labor is legal and people are forced to work for pittances. The population of the US prisons is outsizedly black, latino and other minority groups. These work-camps have a high rate of death, as well as abuse.

              Ah damn I didn't know we were doing vibes-based facts, my bad.

                  Your point was that there were no camps, and I've now illustrated how there is. If you need another examples you can also look towards the Moria Refugee camp. It is odd to me how you keep retreating to "it's not about the US". What is it about then?

                  The person who assumes the nationality of their interlocutors, despite clear evidence to the contrary, and who assumes, despite all readily available evidence in linked articles, that Atomwaffen and The Base are purely-US phenomena is objecting to the fact that I assumed that they typed out a written comment.

      Well we'd hope the solution for Nazis is we only threaten to kill them first, before they get powerful enough to start organizing. And if they surrender and submit peacefully to re-education, maybe that's ok in some rare instances

      If they're already organized I suggest cluster munitions or have them lined up against a nice brick wall

          Being a nazi, as opposed to black or jewish, is an ideological choice and not a question of race. That choice is a choice were you decide to pursue violent means in order to exterminate those of other races. Do you think a person pursuing genocide should be stopped? If you do, what do you propose should happen when they oppose being stopped?

              i mean it's basically a trolley problem. whether or not we blame someone who was born into naziism, at some point we have to stop them before they hurt others. and if the nazis are armed and organized, we start running out of peaceful ways to stop them.

              It's not that persons fault at all, but I think you're making a mistake here in making a systemic question into an individual. We can recognize that no person is inherently "evil" (though I hate to use that word, I'm just lacking for words), but also recognize that the person is a member of an ideological group that is, and as long as the person is a member of said group, they're opposed due to the fact that they are working towards genociding minorities.

                  You're talking about the Nazis. Your post was about nazis, people are responding talking about nazis. The discussion is clearly about nazis, which comes as a result of you framing the discussion about nazis. If you didn't want it to be about nazis, but I stead your perception that leftists label political opponents "nazi" as a way to otherize them and justify political violence, then you should've argued that point instead.

          American History X is probably not the best de-Nazifying material but I do agree that in a perfect world, forcibly reeducating them is a more ideal solution, and in certain situations maiming or even just punching can work as a short-term solution.

          It's not so much about hate as it is about defending ourselves and protecting the people who their continued existence is a constant threat towards. Though the hate doesn't hurt.

              This is such a fedbait thing to say.

              If people are organising and doing direct action in their irl lives, they sure as hell aren't going to be bragging about it online to impress a pearl-clutching lib who disapproves of direct action because "hate perpetuates hate".

              Just because you aren't personally doing anything about the threat of fascists and just because you find the American History X message to be poignant and compelling doesn't mean that this applies universally to everyone else in the world. You're just telling on yourself by adopting this attitude, at least to the people who are engaged in activism.

                      US problems

                      One: get your head out of your arse and maybe, just maybe figure out that your US-centric outlook might be quickly disproved by the fact that my language is a strong indication that I am not a yank.

                      Are you illiterate or do you just dismiss evidence out of hand because you assume everything comes from and is about the US reflexively because you are so US-centric in your outlook?

                      This is where you should feel ashamed of yourself but I'm not convinced that you actually have the capacity for humility given the fact that you're talking out your arse and you assume that you know enough about The Base and Atomwaffen that you don't need to read the Wikipedia entries on them.

          You're suggesting rounding them up for re-education. We suggest that all the time, and yet when we suggest it you call us monsters.

          The time for re-education was 10 years ago though. There are far too many fascists now and they are embedded in far too many institutions, the inevitable outcome is already decided and the only pathway out down the line will be violent.
