[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Around 2014 where he was great in Fury. Ever since then he's been on some positive spiritual journey.

No! A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints. Hes been cool since then. Probably how he got to know Astoria.

Which was inspired by the hat that the Nazi wore.



Agreed, which is why I don't agreed with people saying that punching Nazi or anyone of the alt right movement is okay.

It isn't and that is not the best way to get your message across as you become no better than them really.



But it is not the right way, violence is never the answer and undermines your own message.

Ehhh, I'd still say the puncher was better than the Nazi. But that's probably a discussion for another day.

 

[RS4-]

It's a german WWII hat.

Lol pretty fucking awkward, bumped into some Asian guy rocking the same hat today.

 

[bengraven]

The theater escapades sold me on Shia but this endeared him to me.

 

[diaspora]

Of course someone posting pure garbage in the tomi thread is trying to make the white supremacist look good here. And of course also feigning victimhood. You know exactly who Shia is, you absolute idiot. Now everyone gets to see just how stupid you are. You made a post knowing full well who Shia was just a couple days ago. And now, just like that piece of human trash in the video, you get punked by your own inadequacy.





Ahem...

Sweet christmas

 

[MetatronM]

Violence isn't the answer. The whole point of the movement is that it's nonviolent.

99% of the time I agree with you. However, violence is always an acceptable answer against actual Nazis. I'm pretty sure that's in the rule book somewhere.

 

[Josh7289]

Awesome.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Major props to Shia here.

Let's see ....

Nope, it didn't.

Be a nazi sympatizer? Get punched. Easy peesy

He could have chopped Spencer's head off and fucked the neck hole and he'd still be better.

 

[VeteranGamer]

Long live king Shia

 

[televator]

That guy's hat resembled the same type of cap that Imperial officers from Star Wars wear.

That or some Hittler youth approved headwear. lol

A punch isn't going to change their minds, and most of them don't have the balls to actually attack minorities in public. So unless they strike first, all it it does is create douchey martyrs. Without context, the guy in the hoodie throwing the punch looks like the bad guy. That's, uh, not good. They use that type of shit (along with watered down versions of their psychobabble) to get a foothold into the mainstream.

Nazi or necrophiliac, there's two things I didn't think I'd ever weigh the pros and cons against each other. But we live in turbulent times.

 

[Izayoi]

Save your country, punch a Nazi.

 

[KeRaSh]

Shia not scared

I wouldn't want to mess with the Shia, haha.
Major props to him.

I'm not sure who you're expecting to change their minds lol. Minorities sure as hell ain't tryin to. If you see yourself empathising more with Nazis than the groups they wish genocide upon, I question that person (and I'm not one to have a "conversation" to justify my people's existence).

Punching Nazis is completely fine, WWII.

Then again I completely understand why people are conflicted over this. I mean during WWII America went on and on about how immoral Nazis were that they would treat fellow humans that way all the while treating PoC like shit...

 

[TACPhilly]

dudes a racist prick. shia is still a wierdo.

 

[SapientWolf]

???

The only people that think the puncher is the one that looks like the bad guy after context are the ones that probably share his views and don't see Nazism/white supremacy/fascism as an issue.

They were never going to care about minorities in the first place.

That depends on how effective their propaganda machine is. We are now in the post truth era. Nazis weren't dangerous because people didn't punch them enough. They were dangerous because people listened to them.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

There certainly were lots of people punching Nazis in Germany, given the frequency with which violent clashes happened between Communists and Nazis. Dozens killed on both sides in street fighting before Hitler had come to power.

 

[Tubobutts]

That depends on how effective their propaganda machine is. We are now in the post truth era. Nazis weren't dangerous because people didn't punch them enough. They were dangerous because people listened to them.

That is some pretty good propaganda if it can make a person who cares about minorities want to be nazi because they saw a nazi get punched for being a nazi.

 

[King Tubby]

If someone yelling Heil Hitler has your sympathies you are well beyond a lost cause. Fuck neo-nazis. Hit them with everything you got.

 

[Glasshole]

Shia can be one scary dude.

Neo-nazis are never going to use the word "Nazi" or any variation of it. They're going to play up how they're defending white culture and downplay their negative feelings towards minorities. They're going to pipe their message to low information people and spin the media to their favor. So they're going to try to convince those people that Spencer was punched by a nutjob just for having a modest opinion about how white people still matter. And if people don't think those type of tactics work then they must have fallen asleep during the election.

I don't think you can win an information war with punches.

WaterAstro got knocked out like he was a nazi on live tv.

 

[liquidatedbrains]

Shia Saide LaBeouf is an American actor, performance artist, and filmmaker.

im gonna go out on a limb and say this encounter with the nazi is possibly scripted..

its a social experiment bro

 

[Pankratous]

Why is he bobbing on the spot?

Lmao.

 

[Donos]

That guy's hat resembled the same type of cap that Imperial officers from Star Wars wear.

German Mountainhunter units (Gebirgsjäger) still wear a variant of that hat (military). It has a long military tradition in a couple countries but especially Germany and Austria (variant also used by the Wehrmacht in WW2). No wonder he is rocking it...

 

[RangerX]

For all the shit Shia gets I'Ve always liked the gu y. Hes a bit mad sure but hes never done anything malicious .

 

[LordOfLore]

Apparently Shia was arrested by cops about an hour ago. Missed the stream.
