No, this is not good, jesus fucking christ. They're practicing while their counterforce is at the keyboards.

I boxed for many years, dudes who get knocked out a whole bunch of times are generally slower and easier to knock out. These morons probably pride themselves on bare knuckle type shit. Wouldn't surprise me if they routinely land each other in the hospital.

From what I know of history, I just feel that underestimating nazis is a bad strategy.

Practicing what exactly? Losing brain cells?

If it comes down to there being any form of political power being dictated by such single combat, society will already be irredeemably fucked.

These people are just squirting toxic masculinity onto each other. Who gives a shit?

It's the organizing that should scare you. These groups grow comaradarie and start showing up in other areas of daily life to push agendas that should scare freedom loving people. Growing a community of hate while other groups just sit around and think that "it can't happen here" while attacking each other instead of organizing is what bothers me.
