Brown shirts?
What are those?
Fascists. An alt definition is more specifically nazi and/or racist.
So you were born in time to punch Nazis in the face?
The US is still full of them, yes. I included the alt definition because I'm a little confused by the premise of the meme. It reads "born too late to punch nazis, born too early to punch terminators, born just in time to punch nazis".
Ah, I seem to have confused the moderator tag with an "OP" tag, for some reason.
Basically party thugs. Go around harassing people
Ah ok? Is that specific to a region? I never heard of this.
Edit: I meant region, not reason. Autocorrect.
Kinda. It’s a reference to the SA. It’s become a shorthand for fascist paramilitaries that haven’t seized power, so like one could call the proud boys brownshirts.
But it’s regional because they only wore brown in Germany. Italy had the blackshirts and Americans wore silver.
i read twice and still though "region" was "religion"
Yes and no. Read some WWII history
Other users were kind enough to point out that they are a Nazi group. That's all I needed to know.
UPS?
"punch Nazis in the face"? You know they were armed, bro?
So were the anti fascists.
and that's why we need something more permanent than a fist!
Anti-fascists get tougher with every year Hitler is dead. You can't imagine what life under terror is like. Luckily, me neither, but I'm not under the illusion I'd be some kind of hero when I and by extension my whole family were threatened by torture and death.
You can’t imagine what life under terror is like.
You say that like someone who isn't already an Atlantan intimidated into inaction by the persecution of Stop Cop City protestors, up to and including police murdering them.
Yeah, well, I don't live in the US. But you're proving my point exactly.
Yes, but to put it frankly: They got fucked up. In the most permanent sense possible.
Reminder:
Steve Buscemi is not a Brown Shirt.
My buddy Eric could’ve really used this reminder yesterday.
Dude...
