IIRC, this happened after Fight Club came out as well.
After a while, they end up pretty fucked up. There's always some young dude that gets a life-changing injury that scares them all straight.
Same thing with motorcycles and military bases. A bunch of dudes come back from deployment and buy crotch rockets. It's all invincible BDE until someone's buddy does 90pmh over the side of a highway onramp and flips 30 times into oncoming traffic. Then all their wives make them sell their bikes the next week.

Nazis giving themselves TBIs might be a good thing, or it might just make them more unstable.
Hand to hand combat just isn't all that relevant when AR-15s are available to anyone for $400.

Not disputing the effectiveness or access regarding guns, but a significant portion of altercations at protests are cqc. Tides can change quickly in these situations, especially with mobs and the chaos they bring. Knowing how to handle yourself in these situations isn't entirely useless.
Either way, the fact they appear to be increasingly committed and organized around inflicting violence is a pretty clear signal on future intent. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst, I suppose.

Close Quarters Combat if any other normies were wondering.

A lot of people seem to want to portray these guys as harmless buffons but they've been at this and escalating for awhile now..
Some of them might be idiots but there are very serious, very dangerous people involved and you'd be stupid to underestimate them.

Wannabe UFC fighters with extremely limited skill and intellect knock themselves out trying to prove to themselves that they are imen.

Gay guys have been meeting up secretly in the woods for millennia. This isn’t news.
