Taking On White Supremacists/Alt Right Potentially Dangerous. Remember Alan Berg.Op

Openly taking on the neo Naze, white supremacists or Alt Right can be dicy adventure. One must remember what happened to Alan Berg who aggressively challenged these elements in our society. Today they are in greater numbers and more well armed. Besides that with the advent of social media one is more exposed. And personal information is more available.

If anything one must be stealthy when challenging these sadly growing numbers.

trump cut federal funding to combat white supremacy across the nation. FBI has indentified white supremacy as number 1 threat and that was before trump got elected. One can only imagine it’s getting amplified with each passing day that trump is in office.

When I am on the internet I see stories about massive attacks against people going after white supremacists. The RW media has a vast network and it is aggressively active. Because of hacking someone smart enough can get your persona information and go after you personally.

I have seen op's on this very site where someone has said they got off RW sites because of the threats. What we do not understand as a society is that the RW has a very robust anti freedom network. Also the conservative movement and RW movement is really pretty dangerous.

In fact it is th larger threat to the US than the terrorists.
