why do you think they are shitting themselves in terror, though, just because you stare at them? maybe they're imagining slowly dismembering you.
i can't imagine that if they are brazen enough to march in public they actually give a shit about some people standing and looking at them.

If they're the kind of neo-nazis who legit believe in massive Jewish conspiracies/underground Jewish cabals secretly running the world, they might be unnerved tho

(Anonymous) 2015-02-01 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
DA

The only neo-Nazis* I met were rather aggressive and wouldn't be intimidated at all - when you're marching in the streets in big numbers, with flags and maybe some flares, you're really getting pumped and your confidence in your strength grows. The crowd gives you power. That's not really a situation in which you can get "unnerved" by somebody suspicious (you might, on the other hand, attack that suspicious person, you're feeling great and powerful atm, after all...)

/* obviously, they did not admit to being neo-Nazis officially (they wouldn't be able to demonstrate in public), but they were uber-nationalist organizations

that's kind of what I was thinking, tbh. people in large groups tend to get more confident and braver than they might be alone, and I'd think there's more danger of them turning aggressive...

(Anonymous) 2015-02-01 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, from my POV all these comments about "judging people" and "unnerving them" are rather unreal, because that's usually a very testosterone-heavy, trigger-happy crowd, they won't even notice your judging...

(Anonymous) 2015-02-01 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. At best they'd laugh at you, at worst they'd target you later.

I think people in this post are really down-playing how fucking scary these groups can be.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-01 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I think most of the commenters here have never stood in such crowd's way. And good for them. I took part in two anti-fascist blokades and that was fucking scary.

they must be imagining a bunch of bald-headed westboro types, but neo-nazis are absolutely more than that

(Anonymous) 2015-02-01 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Which crowd? What protest are you talking about? Is this in the USA or somewhere else?

Because the vast majority (if not 100%) of official rallies that are racist, homophobic, etc. - get overwhelmed by crowds against them, mocking and such. Pretty much every public KKK rally gets that.

In the USA, that stuff just doesn't work like it used to. There are still racists and racist groups of course, but they have to be more subtle than they used to.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-01 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Shit, figuring out clever ways to mock the Westboro Baptist people is practically its own subgenre of youtube videos

(Anonymous) 2015-02-01 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Not US. Eastern Europe.

Around here it's unfortuantely much more likely for extremists to get a big crowd than for those who want to counter-demonstrate against.

Well, speaking generally I've found that when I try to get to the root of why Jews are A Special Kind of Evil, it usually comes down to "they must have ungodly powers!" I mean, once you clear past all the other shit they say. I mean how exactly are we, less than one percent of the global population, able to control the world and steal money from babies while we drink their blood or whatever? I mean even if enough of us could get along enough to be organized for that kind of scheming, we just don't have the numbers to wield that kind of power. And we all have to be able to wield that kind of power, because otherwise why hate the entire race? Why not just hate the specific Jews they think are conspiring?

My conclusion is that there's some kind of primal ancient belief about us as an unholy enclave that has persisted through blood libels and pogroms and whatnot for decades. Maybe the idea of a "Chosen People" is frightening. Maybe the fact that we've always had such a high literacy level means we have access to ancient evil texts. Maybe it is something about the fact that we killed Jesus Christ (which no, that was the Romans, we just turned him over to them), Son of God, how is that even possible? Maybe we know something others don't, and that makes us evil? There's no rational explanation for what makes us such a threat as a race. So..,Evil Jew Powers, is the only answer.

So my theory is that if someone believes Jews are so powerful, I can use that to my advantage. If you really think that Jews have unholy secrets, and then see one staring at you and mumbling a curse in Hebrew, that should be pretty scary. And frankly, I'm not completely sure I lack that kind of power. The Kennedy Curse? That was us.

I love this attitude. Jewsploitation ftw! It's what made Inglourious Basterds such a fun movie. The incredibly scary Baer Jew, Aldo the Apache, like magical beings from fairytales come to take revenge.
