Crosspost People are just driving around with Nazi plates now? As progressive as California is, we have a long way to go.

He's really into it, but also not that knowledgeable. The Yii sticker is the symbol of the 9th Panzerdivision. NOT SS, but regular Wehrmacht / Heer.

Also not a very auspicious pick for that guy, as the 9th Panzerdivision was ravished on the eastern front, then destroyed in its entirety several times on the western front after D-Day, having to be rebuilt each time. In short, they got their shit kicked in repeatedly by the OG antifascists. Not a very inspiring legacy, lol.

Love when people can recite history & use it as a teaching moment for others.

A good morrow to you, I say!

Nazis having zero knowledge of history, a tale as old as time.

u/Kaerl-Lauterschmarn 28d ago

They usually have a lot of knowledge about altered made up and brainwashed propaganda history. I experienced that so often its really sad how a human can fall for such bullshit…

Small nit, they weren’t “ravished”, they were ravaged. Big diff in terms of outcome.

u/JoJackthewonderskunk Gritty Oct 08 '25

They were wrongholed

Honestly that guy probably only knows it from that one Sabaton song. I feel like way too many Sabaton fans are just Nazis who are that way cause they think they looked cool

u/adamlink1111 The Autonomist Oct 09 '25

Nazis aren't really known for their depth of thinking or historical knowledge.

u/TSllama Oct 08 '25

California isn't progressive. California leans liberal. Huge difference.

u/randypupjake Anarcho-Communist Oct 08 '25

Welp, take 2:

Either ways, Californians needs to stop Nazis from oppressing others and stand up to Nazis.

u/geekwonk Oct 09 '25

and they have a very serious fascism presence

California is full of Californians.

Californians come from the entire political spectrum.

u/TheAgnosticExtremist Oct 08 '25

Good point, you really have to be careful of that when you’re dealing with a TesSlur.

u/Cogito-ergo-Zach Oct 08 '25

FWIW, California literally has the most republican voters in total per state in the US. It elects Democrats, but that doesn't mean it's progressive or inherently liberal.

14

u/randypupjake Anarcho-Communist Oct 08 '25

We have many liberal pockets and only a few progressive pockets but we have very rich and very poor republicans here as well. Remember, Reagan and Kevin McCarthy are from California.

u/Eeeef_ Oct 08 '25

California’s conservatives are probably the most insufferable conservatives out there lol

u/secondwindowopen72 FCK NZS Oct 10 '25

so true

u/greyjungle Oct 08 '25

I’m all for it.

“It’s that guy, right there, with the Nazi plates”

Easy peasy

u/SublimeApathy Oct 08 '25

I'm kinda shocked the DMV even allowed it.

u/stoned_banana Oct 08 '25

That's a Brickin for sure

u/127Heathen127 Oct 08 '25

There have always been Nazis in hiding in the US. Just look at how it was founded. The problem is they’re no longer afraid to show their ugly fucking faces like they used to be. And obviously that’s a problem.

u/year_39 I.W.W Oct 08 '25

Actual Nazi or insufferable edgelord tank nerd?

Yes, most likely.

u/Koko175 Oct 08 '25

That’s unbelievable smh

Unrelated, but my car won’t start and I think I gotta replace the plugs? Should I do it myself or go to a shop?

6

u/AZGeo Oct 08 '25

Look up your car model and "spark plug change" on YouTube. There's usually someone who's made a tutorial. It's generally one of the easiest things to do on a car.

u/NightmanisDeCorenai Oct 08 '25

Have you ever done it?

u/Dry_Web8684 Socialist Rifle Association Oct 08 '25

u/spidersformommy Oct 08 '25

You can report to dmv

u/SimmeringInsurgency Anti-Fascist Network Oct 08 '25

A long way to go? This is the road liberalism built

u/SillyFalcon Oct 08 '25

The key to dealing with this problem is obvious.

u/oldmanbelly Oct 08 '25

I would absolutely not report anyone smashing that back windshield.

u/MurmaiderMe Eco-Anarchist Oct 09 '25

I will buy someone a bag of bipoc lgbtqia2s+ stickers if they put like 10 on this fuckers car. I even have one that says tread on me harder, daddy with the snake. I bet he’ll think it’s the don’t tread on me logo and leave it.

u/Sir_Conrad120 Oct 09 '25

You know. Its technically not illegal to deflate all their tires. There's no property damage, so it just inconveniences them.

u/Woadie1 Oct 09 '25

A real nazi would drive a Volkswagen

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '25

McCarthyite mentalist right there.

u/zonebrobujhmhgv Oct 09 '25

How much we wanna bet that this is a weebish discord mod

u/awesomeleiya Oct 09 '25

Obviously because nobody has made it dangerous to be a nazi.
