“Oh, so just because I reminisce about how people who opposed fascism were defeated in the 1930s and 1940s, that automatically makes me a Nazi?!”
Over the last few years Proud Boys’ rhetoric has shifted more and more away from “antifa are the real fascists” and towards “we are straight-up fascists.”
Obviously they always were, but they’ve gotten progressively more brazen about it.
For those who may not be aware, this image was originally from an WW2 American propaganda poster.
The figures depicted are an German Soldier from the First World War, and a Wehrmacht soldier.
So the PB took an anti-fascist poster and made it pro-fascist.
Reuploaded bc the other image glitched out.

Quick thread for the uninitiated on why this should raise some eyebrows.
The TL;DR is that this man seems to be promoting the (untrue) narrative that white farmers in South Africa are being ethnically cleansed by their black countrymen. This narrative is popular among neo-nazis.
"Boer" is the word for "farmer" in Afrikaans, the language of the white Dutch-descended minority of South Africa.
The word is now often used to refer specifically to white South African farmers, and to some is a cultural identity.
If we are assuming that most people know about the apartheid regime that governed the Union of South Africa, then we can say simply that the land occupied by many Boers living in the country today was not just sitting around unoccupied before the Dutch came along
The first one is the Three Percenter logo, of course.
The second one is a bit tougher, but if one had to guess, it looks like a black and white version of the sovereign citizen flag with the Gadsden snake in the canton.
While we're on the subject; Unlike 'ANITFA' and other spooky left-wingers, Sovereign Citizens are actually a serious threat to the lives of police officers and other people.
Right-wing activist Samson Racioppi, noted for his work with Resist Marxism and as an organizer of the 'Straight Pride' parade in Boston, will be holding a rally in support of the Kenosha shooter tomorrow in Manchester, NH.
According to the page, the event is sponsored by the American Guard, a far-right org founded by members of various neo-nazi skinhead gangs.
Many members of the AG have white supremacist tattoos and are former or current members of white nationalist groups.
Tell you one thing; it’ll be clear to tell who’s who by comparing their reactions to Kenosha vs Portland.
It’ll be easy to tell who is interested in truth, and who is interested in only believing what they want to believe.
Yes, this is intentionally ambiguous.
Let us be clear:
If you are unabashedly celebrating the death of someone, especially at this point where there is little to no information about the incident that led up to his death, that is not okay.
