Un-American Attitude. Nazism is a traitor's ideology: if you see something, you do something.

> after looking at OP's history, it appears that he/she is the only one making the posts I've seen. Odd. Maybe get a hobby?
Maybe they are the ones putting up the patriot front stickers too. Just to make it look like they have something to oppose.

Certainly, once the fascists seize control of a major global power and begin annexing surrounding countries, all bets are off. But I’m not talking about international politics; I’m talking about the domestic response to fascism.

You're good!
From what I remember just from tearing down a similar sticker at the mall it says "United We Stand" with a hand holding a bundle of arrows - which is a common symbol used by Fascists (altho not explicitly a fascist symbol) and then it has their website url at the bottom as always.

"Rise Up" is the anarchist sticker. The sticker it's covering which barely says "United" is the Patriot Front fascist sticker.

Although it's scary to see I'm glad to see that even with different views Springfield as a community is taking down these stickers whenever possible and keeping tabs on it. I know it annoys some people but the idea of a community helping each other is a nice thought.
I've ordered from that group before. They have a linktree where they do post their sticker packs. Decent packs to receive, I like Bad Dragon stickers better lol they're funnier.

Wait wait hold on a minute isnt the only land that belongs to the State just their facilities and roadways? I thought streets and city land was technically owned by the "people" and was this new law put to vote and when?

Frankly, they have to be so obtuse it could be anything. At first look it looked like an 80's themed Rush sticker. I mean, is Rush even alive anymore, let alone touring?
It's got so little information on it it could be from a dozen groups, if not hundreds. "Rise up" isn't exactly a trade marked phrase.
So the guys printing these up at Kinko's and pasting them everywhere aren't exactly getting any sort of message across, except to the mouth breathers who already know the code, so this is so much mental static that's gonna get ignored.

I mean, it’s easy to say “awh, ignore it, just laugh” but these are the same fuckers that did the unite the right rally and killed a lady. These are the same people that go out and play war in their Militia groups in the forest. It’s easy to say “awh just ignore it” until someone ends up hurt or dead.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
That’s just common sense.

Or….do your small part or oppose fascism. Ya know…like a decent sensible morally sane human being.

I don’t think that is, historically speaking, true. After all the single largest and costliest anti-fascist effort in human history was carried out by an alliance between the government la and citizens of the communist authoritarian left and the average post enlightenment neo-liberal western nation governments and citizenry….no?
That is to say, I suspect that a remarkably small % of those who fought in or supported the fight against Nazis and Italian racism were the far left of their day. The far left obviously participated, of course, but were only one very small slice of the anti-fascist pie, and of course woefully inadequate to the task of defeating them alone.
Thus kinda my point. Anti-fascism should be universalized to pretty much all of us that aren’t fascists and Nazis. Not branded as the effort of one particular ideology.
I just don’t think it’s a very wise idea, and I am advising against it.
But the kind of people willing to print up a bunch of stickers with an anarchy sign on them aren’t likely, obviously, to agree with me.

Greek Belly is my #1. In Branson, it's Vasken's International Deli. In Joplin, it's M&M Bistro.
I also think there's a place opening in the mall food court...not sure who.

Is it place or palace?!?! I always thought it was weird to call a restaurant "place" but maybe that's my inbred southern roots wanting a " Chinese palace" or "Italian Palace" to pig out in- just sounds so much fancier than a place 🙄

I wouldn’t even know about this group if it wasn’t for people on Reddit posting about them. I doubt many other people have actually heard of them (as evidence by some people stating the same thing I just did).
And people posting about their stickers isn’t going to prevent them from doing anything harmful. It won’t stop them from hurting people. You can’t stop people from doing what they want. And I doubt they are recruiting people with these stickers. Like I said, most normal and sane people aren’t even noticing them. The law can take care of them after they have done something though.
