Many such cases!

    their motivations are so shallow and stupid that a huge chunk of them would lose their fervor when the violence gets close.

    Or they'd feel braver and blend their fragility in with a larger crowd, al la To Kill A Mockingbird. :doomer:

      I really question whether they've got it in them. Unlike the European nazis that get built via football hooliganism, they can't fight, they've barely been in a fight in their whole lives.

      The european nazis created through football and binge drinking scenes literally have a culture of regular fighting. They are actual fighters and they legitimately do not shy away from a scrap. They're shaped over many years.

      The consistent difference between european fascists and american fascists is a like of group unity, a lack of collective spirit and a lack of any experience actually fighting alongside the rest of their group. Pride Boys and small groups seem like they're trying to rectify this but their recruiting sources seem to be squishy whereas european recruiting sources get their nazis as fighters from the very start.

          Right exactly. European fascists get recruited from this pool of people who are already pretty hardened through enjoying casual violence whether it's a scrap with the gang at the football or a scrap at the pub or club each weekend.

          It's a stronger recruiting pool than a bunch of soft fattened white boy gamers and incels. That pool has to be toughened up and that takes months to years to do, they're genuinely cowards whereas the euro fash take a head injury and get caked in blood and enjoy that experience.

            very true, though that also is where we get a good chunk of our scrappers from too

        Happened it Tulsa, although that was a ways back, but there is some precedent.
