What do Nazi and Confederate Flags have to do with ending the lockdown?

The Nazis killed a lot of Polish people, millions of them, actually.

Generalplan Ost proves Nazis wanted to destroy Poland & the rest of the Eastern European nations by mass murder, deportations, etc.

There was a lot of internal debate about how to destroy the Poles. One of the plans was to have the Poles speak German, and become German. There are many blond haired, blue eyed Poles that the Germans would have loved to have had. Another plan involved letting the Poles all die from neglect. Most of the food the Poles would grow would be stolen from them, and Poles would be offered some food (but not enough) for working for the Germans. It might take a hundred years, but either way in the end, no more Poles.

As I mention, not anything redeeming about the Nazis. I don't think any good human would want to associate with them.

It all reminds me of the internet joke, "the only good thing Hitler did was kill Hitler."
 
When you openly carry a weapon, you have to be very careful not to be threatening, which means you cannot protest.

If you are not armed, you can scream that you want the "governor out or else..." If you are carrying a weapon obviously, the "or else" is assumed to involve murder.

But it is probably not an illegal threat because it is based on a condition which might not occur.

A guy was convicted for threatening the president saying "if I get my sights on LBJ I'm going to shoot him." (paraphrase). Since it was a condition that might never occur his conviction was overturned.
 
Showing weapons is an implicit threat. You can no more armed protest than you can armed pan handle.

If you ask me for a dollar, that is pan handling (begging). If you point a gun at me, and ask me for a dollar, that is armed robbery. I do not have to withhold the dollar, and get shot to prove it is a threat. The same is true with protesting. If you demand the government changes its policy, while unarmed, you are protesting. If you demand the government changes its policy, while pointing a gun, that is armed insurrection. In short, taking up arms against the US Government does not require you to actually shoot those arms, just take them up.

Are they Nazis or Neo-Nazis or just people who enjoy wearing swastikas to look like Nazis... I guess there is a difference, but all are scumbags, so I do not bother worrying about it much.

Carrying a weapon is not a threat. You can protest while armed and even pan handle while armed. Completely legal.
Brandishing is legal under some circumstances. Just as shooting someone is legal under some circumstances.

You also have the right to defend yourself, even from a rogue government. That does mean no only pointing a gun at them, it also means possibly using them.

All of this applies to any weapon, not just guns.
 
HIV is not even remotely similar to the Coronavirus, vaccines are designed to boost immune systems by using weakened viruses to initiate antibody production, the problem with developing an HIV vaccine is that it attacks the immune system itself. You don't die from AIDs you die from the common cold because you have no immune system.

A live vaccine is one form of vaccine, but is not the only form of vaccine. There are also dead vaccines where parts of the virus are introduced, and even vaccines where the antibodies are introduced. None of that matters to HIV.

If a vaccine could be developed against HIV, the immune system could attack HIV and kill it. Yes, HIV would be attacking the immune system at the same time, but the immune system could, in theory, win that war. The problem appears to be that as a RNA virus, HIV evolves around a vaccine within a few days. A similar problem happens with Influenza, where the virus evolves around a vaccine pretty much every year, which is why you need a new vaccine every year for a new couple of strains of Influenza.

Covid-19 is also a RNA virus, so evolves quickly. The question is how quickly would it evolve around a vaccine. If it takes a decade, we can eliminate it before then and hopefully get back to picking up the pieces of our economy. If it takes a day to evolve around a vaccine, we are screwed.

A bad sign is seeing a viral load in some patients after we thought they were cured. This suggests that immunity is not long lasting.

Just because we want a vaccine to be able to be developed does not mean that it will be able to be developed. That is just a sad fact.

There is no evidence that the lock downs has had any effect whatsoever..

Lockdowns have obviously had an effect. The unknown is how much of an effect they have had, and what parts have had an effect. We will be trying to figure that out for decades to come. Heck, scientists are still trying to figure out how much effect the lockdowns on Spanish Flu had 100 years ago.
 
If you brandish a weapon at me, I am fully justified to kill you thanks to Stand Your Ground because you have made yourself a threat by brandishing your weapon. So you could march with your gun, and I could shoot you dead and get off totally scot free.

Carrying a weapon is not brandishing it. You would be guilty of murder.
 
Except that those few thousands routinely act on their fascism and murder people, like what happened in Pittsburgh, El Paso, and Charleston.

All Nazis should be killed. Period.

There are no Nazis. The Nazi party was only in Germany and it was destroyed during WW2.

Fascism is a form of government and a form of socialism. A murderous bigot is not fascism.
 
Completely untrue. Any flag or uniform is protected free expression. I challenge you to show us any prosecution of anybody waving a flag or wearing a uniform.

There is no law prohibiting "expressions of treason." Treason is giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war. There is no enemy to comfort or war.

If you remember the Skokie, Ill case in the 1970s the Nazi party wanted to march through the town wearing Nazi uniforms and carrying swastikas. The town of 70,000 had 40,000 Jews and supposedly the largest number of Holocaust survivors outside Israel. The town denied the permit because of threatened violence against the marchers by town residents. The ACLU took up their case and the court injunction against the march was thrown out. The Nazis ended up marching in Chicago, instead. A group of 20 Nazis an 2,000 counter protestors.

But the point is that they had the right to march with uniforms and swastikas.

1. The Illinois Supreme Court's order is a final judgment for purposes of this Court's jurisdiction, since it finally determined the merits of petitioners' claim that the injunction will deprive them of First Amendment rights during the period of appellate review.

2. The State must allow a stay where procedural safeguards, including immediate appellate review, are not provided, and the Illinois Supreme Court's order denied this right.

Or remember the Unite the Right rally, where the locals wanted to ban a bunch of Neo-Nazi trump supporters from marching in their city. The ACLU took up their case, and got the Neo-Nazi trump supporters the right to march. Very quickly that went ugly. Neo-Nazi trump supporters showed up with guns. They broke the rules of the march by marching the day before and attacking graduate students at the local university. The ACLU is rethinking whether they should defend violent groups right to "protest" with violence.

This happened less than 3 years ago, not 50 years ago.
 
Murdering people because of their political beliefs, isn't anti-Terrorism, it is Terrorism.

Nope. Terrorism is a method to induce terror in a population through violent acts. Murdering people due to their political beliefs is not in and of itself terrorism. It is simply murder.
 
But it is probably not an illegal threat because it is based on a condition which might not occur.

It is actually MORE illegal, because it is based on a condition that might not occur.

Lets say you are playing a sport against someone, and scream, "I will kill you." That can be passed off as an idle threat with no real threat backing it up. If however you threaten to kill someone unless they give you their wallet, and they give your their wallet, there is no way to prove you would not have gone through with the threat... And the threat is part of an armed robbery.

If you make a threat of violence unless their is political or social change, that is called terrorism, and possibly insurrection. You have gone from a minor felony to a capital case.

A guy was convicted for threatening the president saying "if I get my sights on LBJ I'm going to shoot him." (paraphrase). Since it was a condition that might never occur his conviction was overturned.

On the other hand, if he had walked into the White House with a gun and said, "if you(LBJ) do not reverse civil rights, I will kill you", that would be a terrorist threat, and he would go to prison for a long time. The difference is on how the condition is met.
 
Off the top of my head, a Nazi would be a member of a group that formed before the death of Hitler, while a Neo Nazi would be a member of a group that formed after the death of Hitler. There are still a few Nazis getting caught from time to time, mostly very old men.

There are even some Nazis that are younger. Sebastian Gorka was trump's deputy assistant. He was also a member of Vitezi Rend a WWII era Hungarian Nazi group. That makes him technically a Nazi, not a Neo-Nazi. He lied about his membership to get US Citizenship, because the US bans any members of this group from getting citizenship. He then openly wore a pin proclaiming his membership within the trump white house.

Night is going to argue that Gorka only joined the Nazi Party in Hungary because he comes from a long line of Nazis who supported the destruction of America... But is that really a defense? Gorka needs to be denaturalized and deported, NOW!!!

Nope no Nazis. The party was destroyed in WW2. Gorka never belonged to any fascist organization and never lived in Germany during WW2. He was born in 1970. I've notice this particular lie about him tends to come from those with untreated TDS.
 
The CDC has no jurisdiction or interest in China.

It definitely has an interest in China, much as it has an interest in Africa and Central Asia. It has an interest anywhere that a pandemic can originate from. The key point with any pandemic is to get out in front of it.
 
Carrying a weapon is not brandishing it. You would be guilty of murder.

Mutual mistaken self defense killing:

You hear a sound in your backyard. You go out in your backyard with a gun. Your neighbor does the same thing. Both of you turn to face each other pointing the gun at the other. Both are in a reasonable fear of your life, and therefore can shoot and kill the other legally in most, or all US states.

The same law applies to your son coming home from college in the middle of the night. If you were not expecting him, and suddenly hear someone in your house, many states allow you to mistakenly kill him in self defense.
 
Diminishing Nazism as merely a political belief lends Nazism legitimacy it doesn't otherwise have.

It is not a "political belief", it is a genocidal cult.

Genocide is not a "political belief".

Actually, it is.
The Nazi party was a party in Germany that came to power in the government of Germany, while eventually resulted in conversion of that government into fascism by dictatorship. This dictator then ordered genocides to be carried out against the Jews, the dissidents, the handicapped, the poor, and anything that would destroy the 'pure Aryan race'.

It was sick, and had to be destroyed at a terrible cost.

Gorka most definitely belonged to Vitezi Rend. It is illegal to nationalize as an American if you are a member of Vitezi Rend. Vitezi Rend was not a German organization, it was Hungarian. It is still in existence today.
