How do you make streets unsafe for people based on their opinion? Are you going to go around asking people if they're fascist?
Simple: if a motherfucker is waving a Nazi flag, then the motherfucker is a Nazi.
most of these dumb motherfuckers will tell you exactly who they are.
Bonus on how to tell the difference for the US: if they are allowed to protest, it is usually a white supremist group. If there are riot police breaking up the protest it is usually an antifascista, BLM, or union.
They need to understand there's consequences for their actions if they try to deprive the vast majority of us, our rights.
something something leopards and faces.
Anyway, I'm sure by the third or fourth time they'll learn not to do it...
Fascists aren't exactly known as a very forward thinking group.
As the post text indicates, this particular graffiti was put up in the lead up to a planned far right protest in which fascists broadcast their intentions to swarm the area and harm refugees taking asylum. The answer to your question is very simple in this case.
Is the person in question a part of a far right mob attacking asylum seekers? If yes, kick their asses out of the city.
Local antifascists and punks have been in fact doing just that over the last several days there. Its really not complicated.
Violence isn't the answer, it's a question and the answer is yes.
Oh, whoops. Can this moderator please tell me where I messed up? I don't know what comment this was now :/
welp :/ I guess not
I don't think violence is the answer still. Why isn't the police handling this?
Not sure if you are against violence but think police violence is needed, or think that the police doing it wouldn't be violence.
And lastly, police almost always are on the side of the fascists so that's why they are not there
Some of them are very easy to spot
