Be a shame if they got out on social media.

Were it not for the violent and at times lethal actions of some of these assholes - it would just be a hilarious side show.

Instead it is a creepy, and at times deadly movement. But it is pointless. None of this - ridiculous "protests", nor lethal sprees, are going to start a race war, or a civil war. It's pathological.

they are clueless.

White supremacists have exactly one place in society - living in a cardboard box and eating out of a dumpster.

which is too obvious of course, but i got this reply on twitter:

They were chanting "AIM, AIM, AIM" which I didn't recognize. But we looked it up. It's a group called "American Identity Movement."

Because you most certainly were hearing hate, even if not the specific word hate.

i heard the meaning, not the word.

"The American Identity Movement (AIM) is considered by some experts to be a rebranded version of Identity Evropa, which the SPLC dubs a white nationalist group and the ADL considers white supremacist. Current leaders of AIM deny that and have distanced themselves from Identity Evropa."

"our hate" ... sheesh. Asshole idiots.

Nice of them to walk through the gauntlet to have their close-up picture taken. World-wide Interweb, do your work. LOL

They better apply for a Trump administration job now, because most of them will not work where they were employed come Monday.

Is that really all they can find to do with their spare time?

Pathetic is a good description.

It is their idea of a social outing, kind of like the Tea Party people a few years ago, who evidently got tired of playing Bingo. So they took their lawn chairs and picnic lunches and went out to protest something or other.

That's my African American brown middle finger to these White Supremacists.

Looking forward to reading this book.

of this stunt and the idiocy of these white supremacists.

The reaction would be a bit different.

They must be identifed, lose their jobs and be ostracized.

he thrives on hate and division

You answered your own question.

"As clownish as it seems, it empowers/or fires up the even less stable with this toxic fury such that... "

Not in the United States, where all 5 races are present in large numbers.
Not in the United States where there are hundreds of ethnic and religious groups.
Not in the United States where the races have been mixing for hundreds of years.

In the United States, there are only nationalists; people who embrace that diversity and uphold the rights of all under the Constitution.

There are, however, a lot of White Supremacists.
Please call them as they really are.

This Country has NEVER been a white nation. It has always been a mix of the races, even before it became a nation.
AND, it will NEVER be just a white nation.
White nationalism is a false label.

That's goddamn right!!

I point this out to people all the time - What was Jamestown? The first permanent English settlement. There are two obvious qualifiers that people mentally skip over those due to repetition.

Metzl said that when the protesters walked in, he was talking about a man in the bookstore audience who had helped his father and grandparents escape the Nazis in Austria. “I was saying how much stronger America is when we think about our responsibility to people in need. At that point, the Nazis walked into the talk.”

Supremacists neo this and alt that. Nah they're all Nazis in my book. If you find yourself agreeing with Nazis in any way or walking beside them, consider yourself a Nazi.

"You might be a Nazi if..." Forget all the old stuff about double-wides, rusty washing machines in the front yard and broken down pick-up trucks. These days it's tiki torches, fashy haircuts and posting homages to Hermann Göring on Stormfront and 8Chan.

So-called "white identitarians" aren't simply proud of being caucasian, or celebrating their European ancestry. These goons are proud of shitty, awful things like Hitler, the Klan and the Confederacy.

One can’t imagine a context in which the term “white pride” doesn't conjure up images of nazis, concentration camps, slavery, white hoods and lynchings. Now, with Trump as president, it's images of caged children on the border, and mosques or synagogues full of dead bodies.

They are to be disowned from the human race.

So much of this is reminiscent of early 30s Germany, we must beat this back, no excuses we need to show up and vote every time there is a vote, not just every presidential election. We need to win locally, statewide, nationally. It all matters.
