Neo-Nazi groups spew hate outside Disney World and near Orlando, officials say
The group wore clothing and bore flags emblazoned with Nazi insignia outside the entrance to the Disney Springs shopping center, the sheriff’s office said.
Groups of neo-Nazis and white supremacists spread antisemitic, white supremacist and anti-LGBTQ messages outside Disney World and in the nearby Orlando, Florida, area Saturday in the latest examples of rising antisemitism in the U.S., officials said.
About 15 people wearing clothing and bearing flags emblazoned with Nazi insignia demonstrated outside the entrance to the Disney Springs shopping center, said the Orange County Sheriff's Office, which said deputies were dispatched around 10:40 a.m.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights organization dedicated to countering extremism, participants carried antisemitic, white supremacist and anti-LGBTQ flags and signs. The group consisted of members of the neo-Nazi groups Order of the Black Sun, Aryan Freedom Network and 14 First, a now disbanded group that has been absorbed into the National Socialist Movement, the largest neo-Nazi group in the U.S., according to the ADL.
Why is the top of his head a different shade than his face?
It's not uncommon for the sack to be a slightly darker shade than the shaft.
He wore his new MAGA hat in the shower and seriously misunderstood when he was told afterwards that you should separate your colours from your whites.
Bad laundry joke, I apologise.
Seriously though, his medical situation is 100% none of my business, but it looks a little like contact dermatitis from wearing a hat with materials/detergents that his skin disagrees with. If he weren't the awful type of skinhead, it might not be a problem for any of us.
That's the best laundry joke I've read all week.
Yeh these white supremacists do seem to have oddly... Coloured skin. I totally thought the thumbnail was for a new zombie horror film before reading the title.
it looks like he's wearing some other dudes face as a mask.
Or some other dudes entire skin as a bodysuit.
inbreeding (?)
You jest, but that explains a lot of the mentality.
It’s the big brain energy.
Looks like a slight case of hydrocephalus...
I wonder who is throwing money behind these folk.
The Tanton network and the estate of the late William Regnery, and sometimes the Russian government.

No one was arrested? I'm not from the US. Is being an open nazi and rallying for hate speech legal?
I believe most States in the US draw the line at "(directly) inciting violence" or "creating a disaster" (eg. shouting "Fire!" In a crowded theatre).
For whatever reasons, shouting "white power" and "Jews will not replace us" while waving swastika flags is not considered "inciting violence" in the US, even though the implications are very clear to everyone. This has allowed Nazis to march in the streets for decades in the US.
To me it always seemed weird how saying "we should eradicate jews by our own hand" or "we should kill this jew" would probably not be okay because of inciting violence, but saying "we should eradicate jews... Through the law/state" instead is perfectly acceptable and not inciting violence.
Is one level of indirection really enough to make it okay? The end result is the same.
This is also why such free speech has problems. If you're the one spewing that shit it's all fine and dandy for you, but if you're the targeted minority what can you do, exactly? Certainly you cannot legally physically defend yourself! You're just destined to have to defend your literal existence with speech, like jeez. It's so lopsided.
Is being an open nazi and rallying for hate speech legal?
Yes. Ostensibly because of the first amendment, but mostly because cops won't arrest their off-duty coworkers for doing shit they wholeheartedly agree with.
yes, it's protected free speech and assembly under the 1st amendment to the constitution.
Interesting. I figured with all the fresh anti-nazism immediately after WW2 the US would have made some kind of law against this kind of thing considering just how much people at the time disliked Nazis. Maybe they just thought it wouldn't happen in the US later on? Or the cold war threat made everyone reprioritize perhaps?
I'm speaking and thinking from a historical lense regardless of modern politics if that wasn't clear
Is being an open nazi and rallying for hate speech legal?
Yes. Any law making that illegal would be unconstitutional. They're assholes, but until they do or say something that is part of commiting a crime they still have a right to free speech.
Yes. :-(
Just like Walt would have wanted.
In many ways, this comment shows just how impotent the social right has become.
It used to be the guy at the top of the company that was a racist POS, and now it's people standing outside the gates lamenting the 'woke' corporation.
That's quite the progress in a century.
It just goes to show that being racist only really limits your market appeal.
All the woke companies have just realised that everyone's money is as good as anybody else's, but it's better if it's theirs. Been woke is the logical course of action.
I'm curious about this. I've literally only heard about how Walt Disney was antisemitic from memes and Family Guy. Is there anything I can actually read about it?
It's hard to find anything definitive, but everything says he was at least as bad as any rich white man in the 1940s, but Walt was a member of the American Nazi party, and in 1938, a month after Kristallnacht, Disney personally welcomed Nazi director Leni Riefenstahl to his studios.
They still differentiate between Neo-Nazis and Republicans there?
Neo Nazis are prepared to admit it. That's the difference.
This happens way more often than people might think. Every time I've visited these idiots are standing just outside the property.
Why is it that every time there's ever a new story about white supremacists the photo looks like a bunch of Neanderthals and why is there always someone with insane face tattoos?
There are more attractive chimpanzees, how the hell can they claim to be superior.
They're not even white, they're mostly red.
A primary vector is prison gangs.
Behold the master race!
Who’s funding these guys and why?
Corporations are funding "conservatism", so corporations are funding fascism... Both foreign and domestic, nationally and globally!

“The extremists dispersed after about two hours, and no one was arrested, because they had to get ready for their shifts at the sheriff's office, the sheriff’s office said.”
They're probably pissed they can't fit on the Dumbo ride.
I got some extra cash for this dump & pump effort. Long game, I'll be retiring quite well.
Utterly disgusting to see.
as you can see this man is wearing a mask and all those tattoos prove that he is a uh… *checks notes* …government plant. a “fed” as they say.
are we sure they’re not cast members?
Some truly Lost Boys
As a 🦅Conservative®🦅, I can't help but notice how everyone who disagrees with you is a "nazi".
I’m sorry to inform you that satire is dead.
You do this a little too well
No only Nazis are Nazis, and these Nazis are Nazis.
They're literally wearing swastikas. So you have no actual arguement. You're complaining that the people who wear Nazi paraphernalia are being called Nazis.
You've got nothing on 911WasAnInsideJob.
Couldn’t possibly be because it’s actually true!
These people are literally the Republican Party base.
Lol smells like feds

Hopefully the group has been infiltrated so the government knows what they're up to, yes.
