the problem with saying there is a huge increase in public appearances by neo nazi's and white nationalists is alot of people who aren't those things get labeled it. those same miniscule number tend to try to attend normal conservative pro trump events, which gets the whole event labeled as nazis by shit like the antifa. why, because richard spencer showed up?

and its shitty they don't have any warrants out on the people who beat that dude, i saw the clips and all that, and everyone sharing the faces of the alleged dudes and etc. but we can go back and forth on each little skirmish from every one of these events and nit pick to build a narrative that suits our agenda.

its all fucked man

no brother

i said your number is that many times less than the real number. if you saw any of the clips you'd know that 500 sounds ridiculous. every number i saw was between 6k and 20k. just so you know, in america right now, 20k is an outrageous number for any rally that isn't the women's march or the cavs championship parade.

the people i'm referring to are not being mislabeled. i know you aren't following closely so i also know you're giving people the benefit of the doubt because you're assuming there can't possibly be that many nazi's and nationalists. if you can find me one example of a prominent figure in the right movement that is being mislabeled i will concede this point

i agree that we shouldn't lump everyone at rallies into one group but follow me here playa because you have a misinformed view of what the rally looked like


people attended the rally either to protest the taking down of a statue depicting the leader of the confederacy that brought up arms to fight the rest of the USA, or to "unite the right"

white supremacists showed up
white nationalists showed up
neo-nazi's showed up
a private militia with more weapons than the police showed up

now lets pretend there are people that showed up as nothing more than conservatives genuinely interested in progressing the republican party (everyone knew who was showing up btw) and once they got there, all the aforementioned groups are chanting "blood and soil" and "one race, one nation, end immigration" and "jews won't replace us" and "david duke" and you STICK AROUND or CONTINUE TO MARCH or ALSO CHANT you are clearly allowed to be labeled under the same umbrella. to anyone that left when that happened, i rescind all my prior statements. i challenge you to find one video of that happening. and furthermore, i challenge you to find one video of the people attending not engaging in the rhetoric of those hate groups.

the justice system didn't do a fucking thing about an armed militia at the bundy ranch, they don't do anything about police involved homocides, and they don't do much about racism or hate crimes committed by whites. so don't pretend.

they've been emboldened, and they've decided to show off and further their agenda's. and there are too many of them. that's not disputable at this point.
