Abravnel’s pictures show two bearded men wearing sunglasses and three other men wearing face coverings on board the boat. One of the men on board appeared to be holding an image of Mike Lindell, CEO of the My Pillow company. Lindell, who is a well-known Trump supporter, recently hit back against claims that his product pricing was inadvertently linked to neo-Nazi propaganda.

      Buddhists don’t also wear tottenkopf (death’s head) on their shirts. These are Nazis. If their flag is misprinted then they are stupid Nazis

      FYI, it’s not just a Buddhist symbol, but a general Asian symbol. My wife’s family is Hindu—she she most of her family were born in India. My family is Jewish, we’d moved from Poland to the Americas as a result of growing antisemitism/the Holocaust.

      For our wedding weekend, we printed programs that included information about each other’s cultures to help our families mitigate any culture shock. Part of it was asking her family to refrain from using swastic symbols due to the negative connotation my family had associated because of Nazi appropriation. It also had notes informing my family of the history of the swastika and asking them to not be offended if they come across one. That anyone using swastic imagery is doing so out of love and is wishing peace upon us.

      I realized this was a potential problem at an engagement party we’d had during Ganesh Chaturthi when the pundit drew swastikas on the Ganesha murti during their pooja. The only thing more shocking for me than seeing a house with 30+ people embrace a swastika was seeing a house with 30+ people casually embrace a swastika. (As pointed out, swastic symbols, since the direction and angle was different)

        There’s a historical place near my house (Southern California) that was built in 1903 and has a bunch of bas-relief swastikas in the decorations. They have little signs up explaining that the building predates adoption of the symbol by Nazis, but it’s really strange to walk around and see them.

        No, but of the left and right-facing, these are the most known. Especially with that specific simplicity.

    They wrote: “I was in the parade today. Just like on J6 [January 6], those are not Trump supporters. They were antifa scumbag imposters and were treated accordingly as you’ll see in the video.” Antifa is a term for far-left groups that resist facists and neo-Nazis.

    LOL, they are still going with this BS for J6? Why would dementia donnie pardon a bunch of “antifa”, then?

    They love Neo-Nazis. What they don’t love is when they get too loud or conspicuous, because it costs them PR points (sometimes). This is the only reason the right wing will ever so much as give lip service to thinking these people might be anything less than “very fine people”.

    Ok, I was mad until I read this and then I was full of chuckles. What a dumbass stunt and I love that this former-and-soon-to-return crackhead was inadvertently brought into the conversation.

    Also, show your faces, nazi fucks. If you’re so proud, why are you hiding?

      If you’re so proud

      Do you really expect consistent thinking from a bunch of neo-Nazis who named themselves after a song from Disney’s Aladdin?

      We need more AI used to out these types, as well as AI used to identify and round up any remaining uncaught thugs from J6.

      Well the article said that Antifa is a group that resists “facists” [sic] so maybe they’re looking to avoid Antifa by not being face-ists.

    I like when the Trump supporters in the other boat spray them with their engines and call them pussies, and you can hear the nazis squeel and then try to gruff it up so it sounds like they’re “yelling like men” from being sprayed with water. 🤣

    Someone I know who isn’t me wants to know how illegal it is to go and spray paint a swastika on Trump signs or the houses/driveways with a Trump sign.

    He says it would be a good idea to remind everyone of who these people are and it would be visible for a bit longer.

      Not legal at all, but legal and moral aren’t always the same. You just have to choose to accept the consequences.

      IANAL but I looked into it -

      In the US, political signs are considered private property so you could get arrested and charged with vandalism (if you get caught).

      It’s unlikely you would be charged with trespassing (since that usually requires multiple repeat offenses on the same property).

      It’s probably something you could beat in court as long as you don’t talk to the cops during your arrest and pay good lawyers.

    It is amazing how open they show their colors even before the election. Maybe, just maybe some potential voters read this as a warning sign.
