Lefthanded Sieg Heil? Is the video flipped or what’s going on there?
As the video is probably recorded with the selfie cam of a smartphone, it’s likely flipped.
Let’s face it: they were never the smartest to begin with.
That is… that is what concerns you?
It would certainly be notable if a certain brand of Nazi started doing lefthanded Sieg Heils. I’d assume there’d be some kind of significance to it.
“It’s only a ‘Sieg Heil’ if it comes from the right handed region, otherwise it’s just sparkling hatespeech”
It’s only a “controversial gesture” anyway these days, heart going out and everything.
Selfie cams often do this … it’s a bit confusing
It is flipped as you can tell by the Nike-logo and the letters on a cap.
shortly after their cabinet votes to designate Antifa as a terrorist organisation.
But they voted to look into it right? Right??
Yes.
They did. The cabinet also didn’t vote on this, the Tweede Kamer (the “House” for English speakers) did. The cabinet doesn’t have the power to unilaterally make this designation, it has a specific definition by law which almost certainly would get challenged in courts and revoked (Dutch courts aren’t political appointees so hard to influence).
Man in burqa accidentally joins Nazi march and pretends to be part of their gang.
His face looks a bit like a stereotypical random Syrian teenager as well to me which is funny.
I wouldn’t blink if you told me these were randoms you picked up on the streets of Beirut or Latakia. I can probably find a doppelgänger for every person in these photos in a 5-minute stroll down the Ras Beirut corniche and recreate them with very little effort.
I wish there was anything to say about this like “Isn’t it cute how racists are willfully blind to what’s in front of them” but it’s not. I’m beyond finding the humor in shit like this.
I was actually confused for a bit there because i read sieg heil in the title and then saw someone in a hijab record the video
- You come off kind of racist here.
- That’s not a burqa.
- Men don’t wear them, only women.
- It’s a balaclava.
- I’d imagine a nazi would be wearing one as part of black bloc to hide their identity.
Think you failed to recognise the sarcasm of my comment to ridicule the buffoon in the video. Wind your neck in and consider that I know
Being accused of racism is uncomfortable, especially for white people who haven’t examined how their identity influences interactions and relationships. When being called “racist“, it is natural to feel a range of emotions, from defensiveness to guilt, shame, or even confusion at a given response from another person or group.
If you’re accused of being racist, consider resisting the urge to dismiss or minimize the other person’s feelings and lived experiences of racial trauma in a radicalized society.
I’m brown. My family is from S. Asia. We are living through increased scapegoating everytime we put the TV on. Comparing the head coverings of the buffoons to religious or traditional dress is humourous within our communities. On a related note, we also quietly joke about uncles with big bellies, bad suits and bushy beards as Indian Santa’s. Poor taste in the wrong context, but you can always chuckle in privacy at your uncles.
I read the sarcasm, that’s why it comes across racist mate. Think, would you have made the same comment if he were white?
Blimey, you really are determined. Yes, doesn’t matter, its the irony of how he looks vs what he objects too. Good enough for your belligerence? Is being South Asian origin Muslim sufficient or do you wish to persist?
Do you always call people who disagree with you belligerent? Blimey.
I’m now convinced that you represent the department of arguments. Call it a day
Sigh.
Well world. Hope you’re ready to devote a bunch of resources and lives to stomping out fascism again.
Didn’t even make it 1 century.
Wait, can we get some more info about designating Antifa as a terrorist group??
Following this story for a few days, the way I understand it it means that they decided to start some process that will determine whether the Dutch Antifa is a terrorist organisation. This already failed in 2016 and I haven’t heard anything “terrorist” from them since or before.
My guess is it has something to do with protecting landlords.
Thanks for the context!
smerige kut nazis
I understood that!
Then do yourself a favor and stop day drinking!
(reference for those who don’t get it)
Precies, gore rotnazis. Kind of weird how my family and I were called these things by the older generations when we lived there and now there’s actual nazis running around like that.
why was yoyr family called nazis?
My mom and I are German, though at that point in time I didn’t even have any relation to Germany at all, other than having a German passport. It was nice growing up in Amsterdam, but some people just really, really hated the Germans. I just remember my Dutch teacher, Vincent Koetsier, who talked about a tragic accident in which a bus full of tourists drove off a cliff or something and everyone on board was dead. After a couple of seconds of silence he just went “fortunately most of them were Germans” just to top it off with a classy “gore rotmoffen”. He knew my mom and I were German.
The good thing about this is, that the younger generations and my classmates were shocked by his behavior and reported him. He never returned to school after that day.
But yeah, our car had a German license plate in the first year of living there. I stopped counting the amount of times our windows were broken.
The 90s were crazy. Still loved it and I truly miss the Netherlands.
It’s kind of ironic, blaming all Germans for the Nazis is in itself a form of nationalism. A sad reminder of how shitty human brains are at actually learning from history.
When children are doing politics…
Not us too :(
No need to spread this video further.
Canada: Didn’t we liberate your asses from this?
Dutch government literally still sending millions of tulip bulbs to Ottawa every year as a thank you, and then people do this. So fucking sad.
There’s two things i can’t stand in this world: people that are intolerant of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch collaborators.
Damn. So crazy how all the anti-antifas turn out to just be fascists.
It looks like they’re just waving at the camera. Does “seig heil” mean “hi mom” here?
They might be ignorant or edgy, but they definitely know the meaning. To answer your question, no there aren’t any other close words to confuse it.
Is that how you wave? Or is your mom Adolf Hitler?
Like one guy did a seig heil with his left hand of all things, and the rest are just waving at best. I think saying they’re all giving up the nazi salute is a bit hyperbolic, don’t you?
That’s just because they are so ignorant they don’t even know how to do it.
I would say they shouldn’t do it at all. Nazis are bad, in my opinion, just like anyone else who would try to twist a narrative to manipulate people. People downvoting me seem to dislike that I’m calling them on their poor handsmanship? It’s strange. No place in this world for ignorance, in my opinion.
You are the one “twisting a narrative” though…
Rude. Have you actually watched the video? Can you point out more than one person actually doing the salute? You’ve forced me to watch this video more than a few times to verify, and I fucking hate fascists.
At 11s center-left there’s an obvious sieg-heil salute and the dude at 14s also is clearly doing one.
Then stop defending the undefendable
The video is flipped. Another comment above explains it
the shaking is due to those morons’ grandparents rotating in their graves
The Dutch government refuses to call these rioters extreme right, ‘judgements as to their motives we leave to the public prosecutor and the police’.
