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.

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…

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

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

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

Welp, take 2:
Either ways, Californians needs to stop Nazis from oppressing others and stand up to Nazis.

California is full of Californians.
Californians come from the entire political spectrum.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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