    I've actually seen a similar flyer that was in a family member's mailbox not far from the VA/NC line. I don't have any Clayton Bigsby's in my family though.

    In de Verenigde Staten is het de laatste tijd geen ongebruikelijk beeld: spelers (met name uit de NFL) die knielen op het moment dat het Amerikaanse volkslied wordt afgespeeld. Hiermee protesterend tegen politiegeweld tegen voornamelijk zwarte burgers in het land.

    So now the Germans are kneeling to show their subservience to the flag?

    Wait, you mean in Germany (and every other fcuking country) they can play a sports game without all the flag fellating and anthem worship? And the world doesn't stop spinning? Does everyone in the world hate their country? Does not compute ...

    Fair point. But then I wouldn't have 9,448 reps on Big Soccer.

    So it ended up being 30 Nazis with thousands of protesters. Anyone else get the sense that this is exactly what those 30 Nazis wanted? They want to be the center of attention and get beat up by the big liberal mob that outnumbers them 100 to 1. It's a great recruitment strategy. I wonder if ignoring them wouldn't be more effective.

    Whenever I see one of these "rallies" it reminds me of this.

    To some extent, I agree. But, there were only 30...only 30. And there were how many thousand of protesters? The mass numbers protesting against on a regular basis, mostly by the same race as those White Nationalists/Separatists, have also got to daunting to the average hater, who also is likely to have a job of some sort, and might have a family, and want to stay away for some fear of the opposition, despite that they hate the opposition. So for as much as this might have been an attempt at a recruiting drive, it was a drive to get the most extreme, not the middle. The middle will see the numbers, and while they may not see the wrongs of the Richard Spencer of the world, they will also not participate and increase the White Nationalist/Separatist which allows the next generation to shift left more freely.

    You seem to be the only one asking these sorts of questions. That's sad.

    Let them recruit. Let their numbers grow. Let everybody understand that the GOP is the friends-to-Nazis party. And if that's where the country wants to go, then that's where it will go.

    30 people manage to shut a whole city down and get headlines on all the news sites by just showing up and making a few speeches for a couple of hours. It's a ton of free advertising. Bonus points if they attract any violence from protesters.

    They wouldn't be doing these campus provocations if it didn't work for their recruitment strategy.

    Given the relative numbers, I'd say they're (thankfully) losing - and I think the extra "acting out" is indicative of the dying spasms they're going through. The one thing that can reverse that is martyrdom.

    This is why "punch a Nazi" is actively damaging to this trend.

    You might be right about that.

    Or maybe they're emotionally damaged dipshits who get off on the victimhood, or transgressing.

    Trump is is the campus lefties writ large. But he is too stupid to understand the comparison.

    So like Charlottesville a Nazi fired a gun into a crowd of counter-protestors. This time the police arrested the shooter.

    edit to add: It really does seem like FL law enforcement was much better prepared than that in VA.
