Your pathetic slippery slope argument is that screaming at someone is tantamount to battery. Who is stopping your Nazi buddy from walking away from the noise?

You're dismissed now

I'm talking about shoving someone, is that not legally considered assault in the US? What's with the insults, buddy?

You have no clue what you're arguing anymore. You complained yelling at Nazis was going to lead to battery and pissing on them. Stop being a contrarian for lulz. And I'm not your buddy, FYI.

Why you sticking your neck out for the Nazis? You know for a fact they wouldn't do it for you. I get human decency and all that, but if any of those nazis considers being shouted at shoved a little assault or too much, then I hope they never personally laughed at someone protesting in a Trump rally.

Dork. Going with the "*snort snort* thats illegal" angle. People get pushed, punched and kicked for all kinds of reasons..no one is checking their law book before getting in someones face.

-EDIT-
Again...that kid went there LOOKING for trouble. If that happened out of the cameras view that ends differently and thats okay too.

This looks great. I would love going down there if I wasn't you know, like thousands of miles away

You need to calm down, pal, I was literally just asking someone where the line would be crossed when dealing someone like that. The comparison I made earlier was not actually meant to be comparable, it was meant to show the extreme other end of the spectrum and then have others chime in on where the line actually would get crossed. I never said they were the same.

Oh I have no doubt that they wouldn't, but I do like to think I'm better than nazis.

Sure it happens all the time, but I don't usually see it? Can't defend what you don't see. As for your earlier question, I've been in conflict plenty of times, but I've never had dozens of people gang up on me at once while alone. Conflict is uncomfortable enough when two people gang up on you.

I understand and sympathize, but here is the thing you've got to realize about Nazis. They prey on that kind of stuff. They prey on "Well, I don't agree with them, but we should give them a chance to speak!" kind of stuff. They are the epitome of giving an inch and taking a mile. Got to let go of your traditional sense of being a good person because we can not give Nazis even an inch. Even if we sacrifice some of what we think make us good or better people, we can not give them even an inch or they will try and use it to make a noose around our necks.

And Im gonna guess when you had to deal with another person it wasnt because you went looking for a fight...thinking about what you said earlier about there being a line..guy puts on a Nazi hat and goes looking for trouble then he is WAY past the line already. He makes it out of there with a headache he should consider himself blessed.
 
Anyone else found a different stream? I could watch perfectly on that pizza stream, but they shut it down.

The official website just hangs immediately.

Nah, it's more than that. It's bringing people together, in the real world, in a way that a Facebook profile image never can.

Just the other night there was the one guy who was getting harassed by Nazi trolls and then that woman came up, gave him a hug and stayed with him until the trolls left. Another guy came down from Toronto to be on the stream and ended up going out for drinks with people he met there.

Those are just two examples that we know of, certainly more have already taken place and will continue to take place over the next weeks, months and years.

Exactly, there are other ways to create change other than just money. This is an art piece that, like most art, aims to create empathy. And it seems to have been successful in that for some people.

Its a little of that. I dont think many of school kids showing up everyday will take something from this. A lot of them toss out their Instagram names before heading home. Assuming something bad doesnt happen (which i doubt..if the weather here was better i think it would have happened already) how long will people remain interested? Is Laboof going to be there everyday for 4 years? When I went by yesterday all I saw was a lot of people watching what he was doing. Time will tell I guess.

Something from the stream actually just showed up on my twitter feed randomly, it was clearly what you guys were talking about. Guess we were talking about different things, this one it's more understandable what happens. I did wonder why a fluffy cozy hat that's pretty normal here would be some kind of nazi hat though.

Maybe you've got a point, I'll have to give it some thought.

The best thing to come from this is that people are quite willing to stand up to trolls and challenge them, and it's obvious said trolls don't know how to handle it.

I think they just expected people to back down or give up like they seem to online, but I think this gives a lot of people ideas on how to actually handle them online now... persistence, and out-shouting them.

And that all of them are chicken-shits in real life.

They back down when they realize they don't know how to greentext in real life.

All I am seeing right now is a young thug screaming "FA*GOT...FA*GOT...FA*GOT" into the camera over and over again.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Things are getting weird right now

You know, Neil Cicierega's new mashup album is pretty good, but it's not nearly as good as this He Will Not Divide Us/We Are Number One mashup.

The guys in the back playing music seem like pretty obvious trolls though.

The guy with the glasses? Maybe. I saw one of them holding up a sign that seemed like a link to a reddit page (?) I think. So yeah, I suppose. Still, pretty humorous.

Playing meme songs, kept trying to say "He will unite us" instead of "He will not divide us", trying to constantly be funny in the background. But I guess it's better than a neo nazi showing up. Props to the guy still hanging around singing "He will not divide us" to all the different songs though. lol

Jokes on him anyway. Dorky loner up at 4am trying to make nobody laugh with his weak attempts.

lmao, MGS Snake Eater theme is being played now. hahahaha.

The idiot Nazi that you're having a great time defending put his hands on shias face multiple times during the encounter. He also was screaming back in shias face and ears, although his screams were limply puttered out by a little weakling. Almost as limp and weak as concern trolling for nazis.
 
Every time I check this thing I have no clue what's going on. I think it's cause I usually check it before bed at like 3am and it's nothing but 4chan trolls.

Seems ok now, lol.

Gameboy Color guy has more charisma than all of the alt righters that have shown up combined.

Seeing a bunch of smug 4channers lurking around trying to be cool saying CNN is fake news, bringing up pepe and shit like that left a bad taste in my mouth. Love how they became all quiet and left as soon as someone else showed up. And the Gameboy Color guy made the stream so much better.

EDIT: Alright, Shia is back!
