The group of more than a dozen masked individuals marched wearing red shirts and black pants, waving flags with swastikas on them. It is not clear at this time who the group is or affiliated with, though many of the shirts said “Blood Tribe.

    Of course they were wearing masks. If they sincerely thought their beliefs were in the right, they wouldn’t care if people knew who they were. They would proudly show themselves and stand behind those beliefs publicly.

    Cowards.

      This is a common trope in these topics. And I gotta say, to be perfectly honest, that I hate it.

      Leftists/anti-fascists also rely on having face coverings to protect themselves from state repression, and doxxing from nazis, despite being right in their beliefs.

      I get where you’re coming from with the sentiment, I do. But rather than taking issue with the masks themselves, I’d recommend taking action (or at least encouraging it) and physically removing their masks so they can be properly doxxed themselves and face the consequences of their violent and hateful beliefs.

      Edit: Case in point, here’s a link to a video of the Proud Boys fighting with another, smaller, local neo Nazi group where they start to de-mask each other, towards the end of the video. They know that being exposed to the public is detrimental to their livelihoods, but will still do it to each other whenever there’s a conflict.

      Take note of that, and act accordingly.

        What would you guess is the percentage of them that screamed that masks are killing people during covid?

            If we’re counting members of their group who screamed about masks and then subsequently died from covid, the amount of members that have screamed about masks might be larger than their current membership.

      Not defending them, but they can certainly think they are in the right and realize that most of society violently disagrees with them. I’d say they were smart to wear masks to avoid repercussions from their vile, awful, hateful behavior.

      I hope that if their names come out that they lose their jobs, get their asses kicked, get disowned by family and friends, and get run out of town. They know that many people feel the same as I do so, even if they really believe the filth they represent, they are probably scared to show their faces.
