That dude with the long hair is disappointing. Dudes with long hair are supposed to be anti-fascist. The dudes-with-long-hair council doesn't approve.
Also, that twerp in the business suit looks like such a poser. Almost as big a poser as Jake Lang himself.
I can't believe he's still wearing that flak jacket without the sappies. It's like his prized possession or something. Does he realize the empty canvas won't protect him from jack shit?
You'd think after embarrassing himself so many times he'd give up the ruse, but he's still grifting. That russian mob money must be sweet.
Those are the yeeting handles, for when you need to heroically yeet your battle buddy out of the line of fire. Many an award write-up has mentioned "conspicuous courage while yeeting"
Sure, but most people would at least try to put their arms up over their face and head. He just left so much room for jabs to his midsection because the arms were spaced out by the sign
They drive into protests because one fight will be played 30 times a day for several years on corporate media even if everyone involved got taken to court later and recieved a jury trial.
Fox news for instance showed footage of the 2020 protests in Portland thousands of times for over five years nearly every single time Portland was mentioned.
Personally I don't see much difference between somebody saying "I'll go to your house and kill you" and "I'll vote somebody into office who will send people to your house and kill you." In both cases the threat is the same and its important to note that nazis are making an actionable threat on groups of people for simply existing.
Sorry I mean what are the consequences for someone who would hypothetically want to throw hands with a Nazi pos? Not saying I would, but you know, if I find myself in this situation, is someone going to give me a hard time?
You might get charged with battery. No matter how morally correct, it's a transgression against the state's monopoly on violence and the state will want to crack down on that.
Depends on if you get caught and if the cops are around. If there isn't police close by you probably can get away with it especially if you're concealing your identity and nobody snitches on you.
You might also get shot doing it but that's a risk you take brawling in the USA with fascist pigs.
Regardless of the circumstances and how morally correct the stance of punching or otherwise ... eliminating ... Nazis is the law is clear that this is illegal.
Idk what the context is but i dont think lynching a conservative is the right solution right now. But on the other hand, soon, fighting will be the only solution.
That's not a lynching. The dude showed up to a gathering, presumably a protest of some sort, with a sign calling for the deportation of a specific person complete with their name and face. That's abject hatred and should not be tolerated. They had every right to chase him away.
Fuckem. Conservative, nazi, liberal, socialist, nobel peace prize winner, I don't give a fuck. You march with a sign and a slogan advocating for imprisonment, torture, and deportation of people who have lived here peacefully their entire lives, you ought to catch more than hands.
The truth is, in modern times revolution does not mean barricades any more. These belong to the past. The social revolution is a far different and more essential matter: it involves the reorganization of the entire life of society. You will agree that this is certainly not to be accomplished by mere fighting.
Of course, the obstacles in the path of the social reconstruction have to be removed. That is to say the means of that reconstruction must be secured by the masses. Those means are at present in the hands of government and capitalism, and these will resist every effort to deprive them of their power and possessions. That resistance will involve a fight. But remember that the fight is not the main thing, is not the object, not the revolution. It is only the preface, the preliminary to it.
It is very necessary that you get this straight. Most people have very confused notions about revolution. To them it means just fighting, smashing things, destroying. It is the same as if rolling up your sleeves for work should be considered as the work itself that you have to do. The fighting part of revolution is merely the rolling up of your sleeves. The real, actual task is ahead.
What is that task?
“The destruction of the existing conditions,” you reply.
True. But conditions are not destroyed by breaking and smashing things. You can’t destroy wage slavery by wrecking the machinery in mills and factories, can you? You won’t destroy government by setting fire to the White House.
To think of revolution in terms of violence and destruction is to misinterpret and falsify the whole idea of it. In practical application such a conception is bound to lead to disastrous results.
When a great thinker, like the famous Anarchist Bakunin, speaks of revolution as destruction, he has in mind the ideas of authority and obedience which are to be destroyed. It is for this reason that he said that destruction means construction, for to destroy a false belief is indeed most constructive work.
But the average man, and too often even the revolutionist, thoughtlessly talks of revolution as being exclusively destructive in the physical sense of the word. That is a wrong and dangerous view. The sooner we get rid of it the better.
Revolution, and particularly the social revolution, is not destruction but construction. This cannot be sufficiently emphasized, and unless we clearly realize it, revolution will remain only destructive and thereby always a failure. Naturally revolution is accompanied by violence, but you might as well say that building a new house in place of an old one is destructive because you have first to tear down the old one. Revolution is the culminating point of a certain evolutionary process: it begins with a violent upheaval. It is the rolling up of your sleeves preparatory to starting the actual work.
Indeed, consider what the social revolution is to do, what it is to accomplish, and you will perceive that it comes not to destroy but to build.
What, really, is there to destroy?
The wealth of the rich? Nay, that is something we want the whole of society to enjoy.
The land, the fields, the coal mines, the railroads, factories, mills, and shops? These we want not to destroy but to make useful to the entire people.
The telegraphs, telephones, the means of communication and distribution — do we want to destroy them? No, we want them to serve the needs of all.
What, then, is the social revolution to destroy? It is to take over things for the general benefit, not to destroy them. It is to reorganize conditions for the public welfare.
Not to destroy is the aim of the revolution, but to reconstruct and rebuild.
It is for this that preparation is needed, because the social revolution is not the Biblical Messiah who is to accomplish his mission by simple edict or order. Revolution works with the hands and brains of men. And these have to understand the objects of the revolution so as to be able to carry them out. They will have to know what they want and how to achieve it. The way to achieve it will be pointed by the objects to be attained. For the end determines the means, just as you have to sow a particular seed to grow the thing you need.
Let us pause and consider this.
How do you imagine a revolution could be fought in these days of armored tanks, poison gas, and military planes? Do you believe that the unarmed masses and their barricades could withstand high-power artillery and bombs thrown upon them from flying machines? Could labor fight the military forces of government and capital?
It’s ridiculous on the face of it, isn’t it? And no less ridiculous is the suggestion that the workers should form their own regiments, “shock troops,” or a “red front,” as the Communist parties advise you to do. Will such proletarian bodies ever be able to stand up against the trained armies of the government and the private troops of capital? Will they have the least chance?
Such a proposition needs only to be stated to be seen in all its impossible folly. It would simply mean sending thousands of workers to certain death.
It is time to have done with this obsolete idea of revolution. Nowadays government and capital are too well organized in a military way for the workers ever to be able to cope with them. It would be criminal to attempt it, insanity even to think of it.
The strength of labor is not on the field of battle. It is in the shop, in the mine and factory. There lies its power that no army in the world can defeat, no human agency conquer.
In other words, the social revolution can take place only by means of the General Strike. The General Strike, rightly understood and thoroughly carried out, is the social revolution. Of this the British Government became aware much quicker than the workers when the General Strike was declared in England in May, 1926. “It means revolution,” the Government said, in effect, to the strike leaders. With all their armies and navies the authorities were powerless in the face of the situation. You can shoot people to death but you can’t shoot them to work. The labor leaders themselves were frightened at the thought that the General Strike actually implied revolution.
British capital and government won the strike — not by the strength of arms, but because of the lack of intelligence and courage on the part of the labor leaders and because the English workers were not prepared for the consequences of the General Strike. As a matter of fact, the idea was quite new to them. They had never before been interested in it, never studied its significance and potentialities. It is safe to say that a similar situation in France would have developed quite differently, because in that country the toilers have for years been familiar with the General Strike as a revolutionary proletarian weapon.
It is most important that we realize that the General Strike is the only possibility of social revolution. In the past the General Strike has been propagated in various countries without sufficient emphasis that its real meaning is revolution, that it is the only practical way to it. It is time for us to learn this, and when we do so the social revolution will cease to be a vague, unknown quantity. It will become an actuality, a definite method and aim, a program whose first step is the taking over of the industries by organized labor.
I understand now why you said that the social revolution means construction rather than destruction,” your friend remarks.
I am glad you do. And if you have followed me so far, you will agree that the matter of taking over the industries is not something that can be left to chance, nor can it be carried out in a haphazard manner. It can be accomplished only in a well-planned, systematic, and organized way. You alone can’t do it, nor I, nor any other man, be he worker, Ford, or the Pope of Rome. There is no man nor any body of men that can manage it except the workers themselves, for it takes the workers to operate the industries. But even the workers can’t do it unless they are organized and organized just for such an undertaking.

If you see someone shoplift diapers, no you didn’t.
If you see someone shoplift formula, no you didn’t.
If you see someone punch a nazi, no you didn’t.
If you see someone gun down a health insurance CEO, no you didn’t.
Correction: If you see someone punch a nazi or gun a CEO it was an angel sent by god with rotating rings covered in thousands of eyes and a fist.
Edit: And it spoke to me and said "This greedy motherfucker better be afraid"
I just saw a person fall to the floor, nothing else
He tripped while assaulting that antifa guy, looked like to me.
Laces untied? Awful accident. You would think a functioning adult could tie their shoelaces.
He is known for his clumsiness. It fits.
Everyone is online in these friendly spaces saying this but far too quick be pulling out their phones and posting incriminating evidence to their socials for clout.
At least blur the face and delete the original video
If the police question you just shut the fuck up.
It is always morally acceptable to punch nazis.
Nice of him to wear that convenient throwing handle.
Twas a good yeet.
Fuck yeah, the proper way to great a fascist.
I dunno, I didn't see his brains splattered on the pavement.
Nazis don't have brains, that's why
Gotta aim for the neck

Have an upvote, as your confident incorrectness gave me a huge laugh.
did OP not mean “greet?”
They did mean greet. You corrected them to grate. Hence people finding it funny

this should be the new national sport. nazis, white supremeacists, promise keepers and ICE.
I'm almost too afraid to ask: What is a promise keeper?
A vocal male-only Christian evangelical organization that holds a lot of rallies. They champion women having roles that are subservient to men, and men being "providers". They are all about anti-lgbt stuff and rather creepy chastity stuff for their daughters. They are strongly aligned with the republican party. Another example of overbearing religious people trying to force their nitwit beliefs on others and effing everything up because of it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promise_Keepers
I imagine they meant "oath keepers".
But promise keepers is/was an evangelical men's "revival" series that occurred in stadiums across the US.
That sounds pretty awful too. I'm gonna put my head back in the sand now.
Based as fuck. Beat the shit out of fascists.
If you see a fascist, punch a fascist.
I enjoyed watching this.
Does anyone have an ICE mask for these heroes? Apparently that's a get out of jail free card.
Trolls trying to get a reaction deserve to get a reaction. It's not a freedom a speech issue, it's a meeting on equal moral footing issue.
The desert tan vest with no plates is hilarious and perfect for throwing his ass into a dumpster.
Lol get rotated loser.
Jake Lang, sponsored by Israel.
Somehow whenever theres evil shit in the world, Israeli fascism is in the shadows behind it, pulling its strings.
The best way to deal with Nazi shitheads like him is discourse (holds up right fist) and datcourse (holds up left fist). I approve.
I love how the TEMU vest flies off.
Great!!! Punch the Nazis!!
That dude with the long hair is disappointing. Dudes with long hair are supposed to be anti-fascist. The dudes-with-long-hair council doesn't approve.

You'd think after embarrassing himself so many times he'd give up the ruse, but he's still grifting. That russian mob money must be sweet.
But it sure is a nice place for someone to grab hold of and yeet the wearer.
Those are the yeeting handles, for when you need to heroically yeet your battle buddy out of the line of fire. Many an award write-up has mentioned "conspicuous courage while yeeting"
That's an incredible throw. 10/10
That’s exactly what they wanted. Ragebait and to be attacked by (libs, minorities, whatever). That’s the only thing they have.
Let them have it. Give it to them.
They're gonna monetize the moment either way. Might as well beat their ass.
And all those people's faces are uncensored.
My favorite part is that he didn't let go of his
preciousfucked up sign, so he couldn't even attempt to defend himselfI mean, I have to imagine baiting people into attacking him is pretty much part of the whole charade, no?
Sure, but most people would at least try to put their arms up over their face and head. He just left so much room for jabs to his midsection because the arms were spaced out by the sign
It is, but they think anyone cares about their crybaby squeals. No one does.
Cheap Perfume — It's Okay to Punch Nazis
Damn sucks that no one caught that on video, guess the police will leave this as a cold case
The cops dont do their jobs anyway. Every case is a cold case.
🎵I love LA 🎶
Sic semper fascisti
I would be so sad if his brains were spread across the road
That was a nice throw. Too bad the cosplay commando did a cartwheel and landed on his feet...
PED XING boy I'd say
Assaulting someone for exercising their beliefs (albeit shitty) is wild. Shit like this is why these angry chuds drive into our protests.
They drive into protests because one fight will be played 30 times a day for several years on corporate media even if everyone involved got taken to court later and recieved a jury trial.
Fox news for instance showed footage of the 2020 protests in Portland thousands of times for over five years nearly every single time Portland was mentioned.

In both cases the threat is the same and its important to note that nazis are making an actionable threat on groups of people for simply existing.
How have you still learnt absolutely fucking nothing?
Then we should drive into their protests.
Now we're talking
We used to blow their pancreases out with semi-automatic 30.06 caliber battle rifles. What the FUCK happened to this country?
"The fascists only attack you because you fight back!"
For the people that did this, what are the consequences? Like are the cops going to get involved in this?
The consequence in this instance for being a neo-Nazi piece of shit was getting punched and thrown.
Sorry I mean what are the consequences for someone who would hypothetically want to throw hands with a Nazi pos? Not saying I would, but you know, if I find myself in this situation, is someone going to give me a hard time?
You might get charged with battery. No matter how morally correct, it's a transgression against the state's monopoly on violence and the state will want to crack down on that.
But it'll still be the right thing to do.
Depends how many people are helping punch the neo-Nazi.
Depends on if you get caught and if the cops are around. If there isn't police close by you probably can get away with it especially if you're concealing your identity and nobody snitches on you.
You might also get shot doing it but that's a risk you take brawling in the USA with fascist pigs.

Idk what the context is but i dont think lynching a conservative is the right solution right now. But on the other hand, soon, fighting will be the only solution.
There's never not a time to punch a facist.
That's not a lynching. The dude showed up to a gathering, presumably a protest of some sort, with a sign calling for the deportation of a specific person complete with their name and face. That's abject hatred and should not be tolerated. They had every right to chase him away.
