Catching up right now with all the news. Just... wow. I really don't know how to describe how low America is sinking.

I feel bad thinking this because I'm sure the majority of people there is good, but I dunno... the image the US is giving is so embarassing nowadays.

Stamping out the kkk is never completed it must be a national hobby to keep crushing the remains otherwise it just reconstitutes itself. trump has defunded FBI work to infiltrate these groups and refuses to denounce them and his administration is literally whataboutism to every question.
So in just 6 months we see the kkk crawl out from dailystormer and experiment with actual public rallies, with salutes and flags, and a larger group of people watch behind keyboards to see if it's safe to do the same thing yet.

Should've had a special group of the US military that focuses specifically with home-grown white supremacist terror groups. Root 'em out and mow 'em down. Should've started as soon as the Civil War ended, send agents to infiltrate groups, then enforcer groups to round 'em up, take 'em into the forests and hang 'em all. So many hooded KKKs hangin' from trees that years after, these forests will be legendary to the nearby towns. Kids will be afraid of venturing into them, warning each other that those woods are haunted with the ghosts of hatred.

And yeah, hatred will never be destroyed, but when you see these fucks get more and more bold, you gotta whittle them down to size. There is NO positive aspects to white supremacist groups in society. They exist to make it so OTHER people don't. I think I brought up this point before, you can have empathy groups of people that have been oppressed:

A Jewish mother hiding with her child in closet as Nazis break down their front door. The child asks his/her mother, "Why do they hate us?" The mother answers, "Because we exist, and they don't like that."

You could play similar scenarios with a young black man being harassed by the police, a transgender teen being beaten up by a group of homophobes, a woman on the breaking point after suffering through sexism at work and so on and the answer is always "Because WE exist! We want our EXISTENCE to matter and we want to be seen and TREATED as EQUALS, and they don't like that!"

Now, try to put a sympathetic spin on racists. A white supremacist father holds his son as they look at the news footage on the tv and see people protesting against Nazis and hate. The boy asks, "Dad, why do they hate us?" and the father says, "Because they are genetically inferior, sub-human things and we want to see them all removed from out glorious country. The country that WE have the sole right of inheriting because with are genetically SUPERIOR!"

Doesn't have the same weight to it, does it? That's because these people cannot be put in a sympathetic light. These people are the most vile beings humanity has to offer. Their goal is to divide us and celebrate discourse. If there was anybody on this great big Earth that "deserved" having "IT" done to them, it sure as HELL is the Nazis and white supremacist hate groups.

Swear to god if Nazis took out a police helicopter and this gets forgotten in two days like everything else.

Whole movement needs to have the national guard come down on them.

America is a nation that is built off of a racil caste system there isn't much sinking to be done.

Awful, just awful. I hope everyone's okay. Police and the alt-right are just bad, bad, as if we didn't need confirmation of that.

This is hardly an American problem, and writing something like this isn't really helping anyway.

The one's rallied around that statue in the OPs photo, yes. I do not value their lives and if that makes me a shithead then so be it. I don't give one shit about the lives of white supremacists.

It's like the US suddenly decided "Y'know what, the 20th century was a mistake," and is trying to drag everyone back into the 19th with clubs and sticks.

Wow, saw this on our news. I wish all the people on the non-nazi side the best and hope the victims will recover well.

And offcourse fuck Donald Trump, that fucking cunt can't even do one goddamned thing right. Absolutely nothing, nothing redeeming about him. Here you actually have self proclaimed neo-nazi's and white supremacists parading around and he doesn't even give off the slightest hint of condemnation. I know, shouldn't be a surprise at this point but it is still fucking shocking and disturbing to see.

don't ask me for codes
Why is law enforcement not separating both groups of protestors? Isn't it about damn time to clear the streets now before it gets further out of hand?

When alt-right, white nationalists, klansmen, neo-confederates, ammosexual/paramilitary types,and blue lives matter flag wielding assholes converge under the auspice of white supremacy....err sorry, "free speech". They're all the same. Watch whiteness work.

Fucking sad that people have to put pressure on Trump to call out Nazi's? What the fuck!

And absolutely pointless, even if he were to make a strong statement, we know how he feels. He a rascist through and through. I'd prefer to not be lied to, thanks.
