Extremists' Nazi collectibles used to fund today's hate movement

From the article:

Attempts to sell neo-Nazi memorabilia online are nothing new, but a recent marketing ploy attempts to use the sale of racist antiquities to fund modern-day racist activities.
The new online pitch comes from White Lives Matter (WLM), 3-year-old neo-Nazi movement whose racist message is being embraced by various white supremacy groups.
Two WLM sellers, Travis Golie and Kevin Harris, claim their recent online, public auction of a black prisoner-of-war flag is helping them print and distribute thousands of White Lives Matter flyers throughout the United States.

Nazi items have always been in demand by far right lunatics and serious collectors of military memorabilia.

But any effort to fundraise for these hate groups is disgusting.
