Iraq war vet Kris Goldsmith believes “patriot” and “anti-fascist” should be synonymous and he’s turning that belief into action with the new Task Force Butler. The nonprofit’s tagline gets right to the point: “We are American veterans who hunt neo-Nazis.” https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/nazi-hunter-fascism-antifa-veteran-1234672732/
“The word ‘patriot’ and the idea of patriotism has been so corrupted by these insurrectionists — these people who would literally kill their fellow Americans to install a fascist dictator,” Goldsmith tells Rolling Stone. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/nazi-hunter-fascism-antifa-veteran-1234672732/
“As veterans, we have sworn an oath to our Constitution — and actually understand it; not like the Oath Keepers, right? We’re the real keepers of that oath.” https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/nazi-hunter-fascism-antifa-veteran-1234672732/
That was exactly how Captain America was born: a bunch of jews creating a nationalist symbol which had as main purpose smashing nazis, starting with Hitler in his very first issue cover.
It's a flawless argument: nazis are always bad for your country, so if you are a patriot, you have to fight nazis.
