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.

    Newsweek was unable to independently verify at the time of publication whether the people on the boat were from the antifa movement.

    Oh, fuck off. I’m unable to independently verify whether the people on the boat were Newsweek employees.

      So they did publish the name of a Neo-Nazi identified on the boat with the Nazi flags, who’s the founder of a Neo-Nazi group.

      But going as far as to say these known Neo-Nazis are not antifa would be too far.

      Cause Neo-Nazis are so often also antifascist…

    How is it that Trump followers are pro Nazis and pro Israel at the same time? Or is it because Israel is starting to follow Nazis’ footsteps?

          Conservatives aren’t actually Christian, you realize? It’s all virtue signaling to disguise being vile snakes out to enrich themselves and their families, while actively fucking over the rest of the country/world to get there.

          Dont fall into the rhetoric, those arguments are a distraction.

            You’re mistaken. While I would agree that most conservative politicians, pundits, and mouthpieces are con artists who don’t actually believe most of the religious bullshit they pander, the average conservative voter does trend significantly more religious. This is true practically everywhere in the world. Religion is the primary source of conservative beliefs and ideology.

            Not all conservatives are the same. I know plenty of the staunchly religious type. Two things can be true at the same time.

            Those republicans use identity politics and religion to control the votes of evangelical/fundamentalist christians.

            The xtian nationalists/zionists would declare they are the ONLY xtians. It’s not a distraction at all; their goofy bullshit about their chosen version of the various Abrahamic cults is something they absolutely believe in and it’s dragging down all of humanity.

            Sorry, point taken. I definitely was directing my “Conservatives” comment specifically at conservatives in the government.

            Obviously, my comment was. HUGE blanket generalization, which is never a great stance.
