Cool ideas for dealing with Nazi marchers [View all]

Saw this on Reddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/50501/comments/1lwuy7y/how_to_effectively_handle_nazis/

From a book: Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman.

In Germany, the neo-Nazis were planning to have a march and the locals turned it into a fundraiser for a charity the marchers would hate. They took pledges for the distance walked and the number of people walking, and met the marchers with signs, cheers and confetti.

Another group distributed what appeared to be neo-Nazi T-shirts at an event. When the shirts were washed, the neo-Nazi message turned into a completely different message offering help for those who wanted to leave that movement. It generated a lot of calls to an organization that supports folks quitting the movement.

Clever stuff....
