It’s nice to think that most if not all these Nazi losers are dead now. I just wish their shitty ideology was too.

I bet you can hold a similar rally today.

Just think history repeats. The GOP is followng the Nazi game plan right now.

We're at the stage where they're convincing all their followers that, the only to "save" the US. Is to ignore our rules of government....

This shit is scary as fuck

They already made one violent attempt to stay in power with too many people shrugging it off as a 'riot.' I fear they will try it again, but with a full complement of guns and bombs.

Why were there so many nazi's in Argentina?

You might also be surprised at the attendance for the Madison Square Garden Nazi rally in 1939.

While Madison Square Garden had prepared itself for the German Bund, many around New York City considered the Nazi sect less welcome in their city. About 100,000 anti-Nazi protesters gathered around the arena in protest of the Bund, carrying signs stating "Smash Anti-Semitism" and "Drive the Nazis Out of New York".[6] A total of three attempts were made to break the arm-linking lines of police, the first of these, a group of World War One Veterans, wrapped in Stars and Stripes, were held off by police on mounted horseback, the next, a "burly man carrying an American flag" and finally, a Trotskyist group known as the Socialist Workers Party, who like those before, had their efforts halted by police.[4]

I love that the lone burly man carrying an American flag was disruptive enough in attempting to get through the police line to warrant mention.

1930s burl was a whole different beast lol

Lots of German immigrants in Argentina; Nazi Germany utilized German communities in other countries to spread their vile ideology, where possible.

After WW2, there were also lots of German 'immigrants' to Argentina... though that later immigration wave has more to do with the fascist-sympathizing dictator in charge at the time.

[-] jungle@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Many German immigrants came from the other side too, both before and after the war.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Wouldn't that make them refugees and not immigrants?

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Refugees are generally expected to return to their country of origin. The Nazis fleeing to Argentina had 0 chance or intention of returning to Allied-controlled Germany where many were wanted as war criminals.

[-] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

You mean shithead nazis

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 23 points 11 months ago

And remember: there was another one of these a year later, at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. It can - and indeed has - happened here. And around 2016 most of them swapped out their signs, but it’s the same core ideology.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

What is the new sign? A red hat?

[-] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 11 months ago

A great place to get burned from floor to ceiling.

[-] Alchemy@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Why is there fencing around the areas, like fenced in middle section?

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Possibly to avoid anti-fascist demonstrators rushing the stage, as I know happened in several non-German Nazi rallies around the world.
