Bartender Savagely Kicks A Polite Nazi Customer Out Of His Bar And Explains Why It’s Important To Do So
Tolerance is a virtue that’s mostly perceived as a crucially important brick in order to build a healthy and peaceful society. In a way, tolerance has turned into a mark that embodies the historical progress humanity has made over the years. But here’s a question—is tolerance supposed to have limits?
In 1945, a philosopher named Karl Popper introduced a concept that he called the paradox of tolerance. “Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance,” he wrote. “If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.” In other words, if society is tolerant without any limits, the intolerant people will eventually destroy it. “We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant,” Karl Popper wrote.
Today’s story is closely related to this concept. A Twitter user named @IamRageSparkle recently shared a story about his encounter with a bartender who noticed a customer wearing nazi symbols on his clothes and kicked him out of the bar. This story once again shows us how important it is to try to see people’s true intentions and never tolerate the act of being cruel and those who choose to support awful things.
Here’s the Twitter thread where @IamRageSparkle briefly told the story
Here’s what people on the internet thought about this story

we ignored the growing nazis once and over 100 million people died cause of it, and we are doing again. im Jew and i dont wanna die ina gas chamber cause of the governments and the people ignorance
I just said the other day that the situation in the US reminds me of the pre WWII time.
Bone Daddy, you are a f*****g moron.
John Baker what
Pre WWII in Germany I mean
It reminded me of pre-WWII a long time ago, like, starting with the 2016 election. With that, and the pandemic, 2020 was a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad year.
Me too. It is eerie. I can only hope it won't. Many Americans are religious. Maybe they remember that "love your enemy" is part of their belief.

Bone Daddy, absolutely right. The TDS is strong with these hysterical fuckwits
It's highly unlikely the gas chambers will come back, but your concern and worry is real and understandable. edit: thank you Bunzilla and Peter Bill for informing me more :)
I suggest you look up the reports of 'HDQ Neutral' disinfectant being sprayed upwards of 50 times a day around illegal immigrants in un-ventilated areas of ICE detention centers. The stuff can cause irreversible eye damage, respiratory damage, skin burns, etc, etc, etc. Terrifying and horrific. The attitude toward fellow human beings is concerning, at the least.
Even when there was evidence it was happening nobody wanted to believe it. Not ordinary Germans and not the Allies. If people were capable of being that unspeakably cruel once, I think they'll be capable of it again.
When Trump was elected, I would talk to my fellow Jews and we were all frightened. We all talked about where we would go if the US got too antiSemitic. Now look. Because of Covid 19, no other countries will take us. This is terrifying.
@Bone Daddy: You are right, of course it won't happen again. There are so many and much better ways to kill whole swaths of people nowadays! Gas chambers, how crude. Now, we have drones and people sitting far away, never having to deal with the sounds, the smells, the inconvenience of all those corpses. We also have a would-be dictator who is a xenophobic, homophobic, racist, misogynistic narcissist as the voted-in political leader of the most militaristic country of the planet. What a combo!
Let me add that I truly find it weird that the word 'freedom' has been put to extensive brainwashing-use from two completely different approaches in the US as well as in the former Communist block. In the US the word 'freedom' is used to both make people accept incredibly harsh measures of surveillance and also to let the military-industrial complex control an outsize chunk of the budget. In the Eastern block, the word 'freedom' was used to indicate chaos and anarchy, the potential destruction of civilized society as they knew it. Please VOTE! We all need to think about the consequences of both our actions, and of our inactions as this bartender so aptly demonstrates.
Bone daddy you are the one who is clearly upset by the facts, as they don't fit your narrative. You swear, rant and deflect but it doesn't prove your point. All it proves is that you are narrow minded and I pity that. I hope one day you choose to form your own opinions rather than follow blindly what your political favourites tell you.

It's also starting up again in Europe. Hungary especially has a real problem. I'm very nervous for the near future.

hungary?most jews in hungary stay there...unlike the ones in france sweden or britain where constant attacks and threats by muslim youth drives them out....compared to france hungary is a safe heaven for jews....
Me too
....and they are still pretty alive, even today in some Police Units in Germany. Perhaps they never became extinct after WWII....?!
I was just going to say, this is an analogy for many things going on in the world today, isn't it?
well... and what about the previous history? For example... Our beloved czech king Charles IV. ... Everyone love him, everyone saying how great ruler he was. But nobody never mention, that he aproved decrets that says, If you kill a jew, It is okay ynd aou will not be punished... And we alking about medieval era... For this, the second wold war was at least good to finally stop this hatred towards jews and reverse it.... Im slavic though, if Hitler won back then, after jews, Slavic will be next.

You will not die in a gas chamber, because we will stand up and won't let them. We're all brothers and sisters and we have to take care of each other.
true ...when i see how in canada on 4th of july in the streets of mississauga crowds of muslims chant palestine is ours and jews are our dogs...this scares me...or when my friend in france tells me hes moving to israel after the 13th time ppl broke the windows in hes kosher store...spraying graffiti palestine will throw jews into the sea..the fear is real and so are the threats.....im glad trump is pro israel and protects jewish ppl
Ok so I can get that you get scared of the Palestine stuff, but the truth is Palestine isn't for jews only. The jews fought us and killed half of Palestine. Israel is bad.
You're so right, unfortunately! I hope that November brings a reckoning and that there won't be 4 more years of the orange menace. Without him, the nation can start to heal and we can all deal with the repercussions of the stupidity that the current office created. Your comments are always clever, heartfelt and to the point. You have a fan, here!
I think you’re safe. We’ve moved on to Muslims and anyone with a Latino background it seems
Bartender is right. More to the point: LEARN the symbols. They're not always swastikas. Learn them all. Even ones that *might* be ambiguous. The summary of the symbols will equal Nazi. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE! ... And b/c people don't want to make a scene or b/c "he's a neighbor" or "he goes to church" (?!).... the malignant b----s get stronger.
For reference, some of the main ones include: 88 (the number represents a letter of the alphabet by order, so HH), SS made to look similar to lightning bolts, a version of the Celtic cross with the lower portion made the same length as the other 'arms', a symbol that looks like a Z with a line through the slanted portion, The Death's Head skull, the Imperial Eagle... I highly suggest that people do learn the symbols so they can recognize Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. Zero tolerance.
The problem is that many 'Nazi' symbols are taken from other meanings. The iron cross is a common symbol for bikers because it represents honour, bravery, and protection. Likewise, the swastika is an Indian symbol of spirituality. But because of the Nazis using these symbols, the western world automatically attacks anyone who wears or uses these symbols, calling them Nazis even when they're using the symbol for its actual meaning. The way the interaction went with this bartender, it honestly sounds like he threw out a biker who didn't even know the bartender assumed he was a Nazi, and probably assumed he was being thrown out for being in bikie clothes. And I know I'm going to get downvoted and called a Nazi for this, but its true - plenty of people wear 'Nazi' symbols, because to them it's not a Nazi symbol, and attacking them based on total assumptions, without even knowing IF they are actually a Nazi, is not a good way to treat people.
@littlesaresare If Nazis s**t in your well, and it still stinks after 80 years, maybe stop drinking from that well. If a person can't display their honor fully, without using an Iron Cross, then I suspect it's not ENTIRELY their honor they wish to be recognized. If they enjoy the "outlaw sense of transgression" from this display, they are just the advance guard for casual acceptance of Nazi bullshit. Kind of like your comment, really.

People who continue to innocently use corrupted symbols aren’t exactly helping the situation. If you know it’s been corrupted, and global history has a huge comment to make about when and how, you really ought to consider the context and NOT wear them.
@littlearesare: Oh, I know. I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. They're also using specific Norse runes, which the pagan community use a lot (As well as Celtic crosses). You've got to use your brain and figure out when these symbols are being used to promote hate, and when they aren't. Usually, Nazis use more than one of these symbols in conjunction with one another. I highly suggest that everyone does their own research to learn the differences.
I tried that, there are just soooo many of them! And things I would've never thought included. I was stunned by the breadth and for some of them, the downright obscure. It was crazy.
#Jace why should a community stop using their ancestral symbols because a bunch of motherf*** have tried to corrupt them? What do you suggest, that we have to erase all the swastikas from ancient monuments and a statues because some idiots decided to give it a racist meaning? It's up to you to study history, and the context of each symbol, and stop judging people for wearing what's part of their culture or beliefs.
In the US, it would also be advisable to learn all the symbols of the weird 'boogaloo' "boys". We should all be taking the climate crisis seriously and people are listening to c**p like that?
Bone daddy. 1-affect not effect. 2-we already have changed the climate. I look forward to your expletive laden response full of personal attacks ^-^
Bone Daddy, you're right, we won't actually have any effect on the earth in the grand scheme of geologic history. However, in our very short time on this earth, we have undone a billion years worth of carbon sequestration in the form of fossil fuel extraction. Realizing the effects of human action require you to be able to process a timescale far longer than your own life.
Bone daddy, I would love to address your comment that I’m sure is very deep and thought provoking. If only it was understandable.
I had to google "boogaloo". While I know people like this existed, and certainly had their own groups, this was a term that I had not heard. Thanks for the reference.
"Again another dumbass comment out yo mouth." ... says the Grand Champion of dumbass comments.
Bone daddy: here seeing as ur Google must be broken: https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ Look at the end of the graph btw if ur having trouble. The right hand side is the most telling, although the graph does need to be read as a whole in order to see the full EFFECT of the way we have AFFECTED our climate.
You're so right! These people have many symbols. If they don't use swastikas, they will certainly have another visual ID for their pals. As an outsider, you don't know it. Working in a store all through school and uni, I saw my share of these symbols and I knew immediately to be extra careful after some time. I always wanted to vigorously scrub myself clean after those creeps left...
I love how blunt, matter of fact and to the point he was. 'No. Get out.' No big philosophical debate, no long winded verbal finger wagging just straight to the point. It solved the problem while giving the guy the absolute minimum amount of attention. A perfect example of 'I ain't got time for your s**t!'
It was lovely, wasn't it?
Exactly!
