I think you’re missing what ‘tolerate’ means here.
Discussion? That’s tolerating them. Letting them parade around in their matching outfits? That’s tolerating them. Letting them spread their grotesque ideologies? That’s tolerating them.
Look I understand, my grandfather was literally a pacifist. He never shot anyone and would rather die than do so. But he never, ever, ever once said that COUNTER attacking these people was wrong.
The most disappointing thing about this entire story is that there are six nazi’s walking around with guns and no-one came out to do anything.
“These groups once relegated to the dark corners now feel empowered to spew their noxious ideology out in the open due to our state’s leadership REFUSING to condemn their speech and actions,” state Rep. Aftyn Behn, D-Nashville, said on X.
“They had a bunch of smoke bombs,” said Abdul-Aliy Muhammad, who stopped to document the march as it passed the Holocaust memorial on Ben Franklin Parkway. Amid the smoke, Muhammad said they saw Patriot Front members hitting people. “When they started hitting this person, and I saw what they were doing under the cover of invisibility, I had to engage. Because I didn’t know if they would fatally harm this person.”
Other people from the community heard about the mob’s presence, too, and started streaming in, forcing Patriot Front to fight its way out and eventually retreat in the Penske trucks they had arrived in.
And the VERY IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU:
Police briefly detained the group but let them go.
This was in 2021. They took the fucking presidency, they tried to overthrow the government and STILL, you’re preaching tolerance.
I get it, but a lot of people are going to die so you don’t feel bad about what, I think you know, has to be done to stop them. The police won’t do it. The government won’t do it. It’s up to us, and most likely as it always is, the Socialists/Communists to stand up to them.
Don’t want to kill them? Then go punch a goddamn Nazi. People here are talking about counter-violence because they aren’t going to give us another option.

Nazi’s march in the open in Nashville? No arrests.
They then went to Philidelphia, where they literally assaulted people on the street.
