Oh you can definitely punch Nazis in the face nowadays. Highly recommend.

[-] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 34 points 10 months ago

Obligatory

(I hope embedding this gif works)

Brown shirts?

What are those?

[-] PeachyMcPeachface@lemmy.blahaj.zone 45 points 10 months ago

Fascists. An alt definition is more specifically nazi and/or racist.

[-] rumschlumpel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

So you were born in time to punch Nazis in the face?

[-] PeachyMcPeachface@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 10 months ago

The US is still full of them, yes. I included the alt definition because I'm a little confused by the premise of the meme. It reads "born too late to punch nazis, born too early to punch terminators, born just in time to punch nazis".

Ah, I seem to have confused the moderator tag with an "OP" tag, for some reason.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Basically party thugs. Go around harassing people

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Ah ok? Is that specific to a region? I never heard of this.

Edit: I meant region, not reason. Autocorrect.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Kinda. It’s a reference to the SA. It’s become a shorthand for fascist paramilitaries that haven’t seized power, so like one could call the proud boys brownshirts.

But it’s regional because they only wore brown in Germany. Italy had the blackshirts and Americans wore silver.

[-] KAYDUBELL@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Yes and no. Read some WWII history

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

Other users were kind enough to point out that they are a Nazi group. That's all I needed to know.

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

i read twice and still though "region" was "religion"

[-] Norgur@fedia.io 14 points 10 months ago

"punch Nazis in the face"? You know they were armed, bro?

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

So were the anti fascists.

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

and that's why we need something more permanent than a fist!

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

Anti-fascists get tougher with every year Hitler is dead. You can't imagine what life under terror is like. Luckily, me neither, but I'm not under the illusion I'd be some kind of hero when I and by extension my whole family were threatened by torture and death.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

You can’t imagine what life under terror is like.

You say that like someone who isn't already an Atlantan intimidated into inaction by the persecution of Stop Cop City protestors, up to and including police murdering them.

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah, well, I don't live in the US. But you're proving my point exactly.

[-] Norgur@fedia.io 6 points 10 months ago

Yes, but to put it frankly: They got fucked up. In the most permanent sense possible.

Reminder:

Steve Buscemi is not a Brown Shirt.

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

My buddy Eric could’ve really used this reminder yesterday.
