I wish they would stop blurring photos that have fascists in it. Everyone who is a fascist, or pose for a photo with a fascist, should not be able to hide their shame.
They may be minors… or they can’t guarantee they’re not.
They don’t seem to have the same problem when it comes to left leaning organisations like climate protesters.
So, why the kid gloves with right wingers?
To add to that: left wing protestors on average tend to face more violence.
Sounds like they should be bringing some kind of self defense tool to their protests.
Then there’s pretext, and the leftists get painted as thugs - appropriate targets for more aggressive crackdowns.
It’s a lose-lose, but protesters will almost never benefit by responding to police brutality with an armed response. Counter-protests are generally a lesser problem.
The boot will get tired of getting blood on it eventually.
Really? When has that ever happened? You are more likely to see the trodden eat the leg.
But from whom? We may never know.

“Oh hey Jimmy, I haven’t seen you since last fight night”
Right-wingers are more likely to beat you up. Changes the calculus for photographers.
Then get them charged with assault.
Small comfort to the reporter who got beaten up or SWATted or stalked, or the news organization that gets vandalized or DDoSed. If you’re more likely to visit violence on your critics, people are less likely to criticize you. It’s not fair, it’s not right, but it’s true.
Yeah, and we show that these methods work by allowing them to.
Greta Thunberg.
God forbid we hold Nazis accountable, we have to hold the children accountable.
But that’s the thing right? Greta put herself out there, much like Craig Kielberger did when he was a minor, or any number of junior athletes. It’s 100% different when a minor is involved in a crime even when their participation is voluntary.
put herself out there
I feel like saying “my race is superior to all the other races” IS *putting yourself out there.
They were in fucking SOCIAL GROUPS. That is the textbook definition of “putting yourself out there”.
I won’t protect those who won’t protect others. Why do you?
Mate, being in baby’s first judo club at the racist YMCA is not the same thing as actively trying to become the face of global climate protest.
Idk mate, 11 cells across Canada seems a bit different that a single ‘racist ymca’.
Walk me through how a bigger group makes each member more of a public figure.
I don’t, but this is the law in Canada: we don’t identify minors who commit or participate in crimes. Full stop. You can disagree with this, but that is the way it is.
These Nazi fight clubs were composed of all kids?
I’m sure they weren’t. But to my original point, anyone publishing one of those photos would take pains to obscure minors. If they’re not certain I’d imagine they’d err on the side of caution.
They’re not hiding their shame they’re hiding them from people like you. You’ll notice that the actual Nazi isn’t blurred out.
I have some recently insane family members and I’d very much appreciate if the media blurred my image if I appeared in any photos with them.
And the rest of the people in the Fascist org have their faces blurred because? I mean, the ones posing with that flag are wearing balaclavas, but the one where you see the subject’s face, the rest are blurred, which is what I’m talking about. Out fascists and their supporters.
Edit: There is a difference between being in a FAMILY photo, and a GROUP photo for a Fascist org.
The one that’s zoomed in on him and there are 2 people to his left and right? I don’t know the context of it since it’s zoomed in, but the other picture in that article also has a blurred person and says it’s a family photo in the captions.
And the video blurred the people on it…
With that teenage moustache it’s probably a high school photo
That might have been a requirement for how they were able to film in the first place.
I geuss they aren’t so proud of what they are then?

Perfect username for that terrible take.
Wait, there was a place where I could punch Nazis in the face?
that’s an anti-nazi fight club, which is this temporary autonomous zone that follows every nazi around anywhere they go. you can just walk up to them and hit them, it’s wonderful.
Unlike most groups of pro-fascist Nazis I see, this one actually looks intimidating. Those guys look like they’re capable of dishing out some violence.
A fight club is a fight club regardless of whatever political affiliation they claim.
I’ll take this opportunity to promote the book, Culture Warlords, by Talia Levin. She went undercover online in nazi hate groups and emerged to write a spectacular book about it. They live very sad lives (as they should). It’s quite eye opening.
I bought the book after hearing her on a podcast. Then I heard her on another podcast, where Brianna Grey Joy completely fucked up the interview (as she sometimes does). Talia said fuck it, I’m out. I was impressed at her attitude. I grabbed the book and immediately sat down to read it.
Check out the interview linked above, or listen to the audio version if, like me, you consider podcasts to be an audio medium. Hopefully, you’ll be encouraged to read the book or organize against these cretins.
