So I still haven't heard of anybody who actually knows of any Nazis, or the extent of their extremism. Or anyone that knows of anyone that does. I'm curious of this phenomenon. The only corner of the US I haven't lived in is the SE, though I did visit FL and Houston area several times, and I saw no trace of Nazis, or even KKK and such right wing extremists. There are quite a few posters on this thread. Surely somebody's gotta have personally experienced domestic Nazis or has a friend who has.
On the other hand in SE Ukraine there have been many families affected deeply, including having their friends, children, parents killed by Azovs shelling cities.
Has anyone fully listened to Putin's full speech on the demilitarization special operation, and afterwards actually believe that he doesn't care about the ethic Russians being murdered by the Azovs?
I lived and grew up near Detroit MI, there were definitely skinheads, or neo nazis or whatever you want to call them.
You have to be in a certain realm of the society, to be able to witness such.
Your average Joe would not be aware of such things. You have to get into the underground to even start to be aware of it.
BTW, many years ago, and I mean many, I went to a rave, that was held by Russian Mafia. In Detroit. Was introduced to some low level figures.
I grew up in a suburb of Detroit, now this does not mean the same suburbia that you may be familiar with, there was a road that divided the white and black communities.
I suspect, you are probably quite insulated from this.
I can tell you there were some American History X type groups in the Metro Detroit area, which consists of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. (IIRC) Let me add to that the Downriver area as well that extended into Monroe County.
Because I have experiences first hand if some scary ass shit. The scariest part was the downriver OFF DUTY cops of a certain city. Where I was tried to be coerced into go "hunting some N" by the off duty cop that owned the house this party was at. I left drove my vehicle around the block and slept off the drunk.
Never asked and never returned to that cops house again.
