8 years of obama really pissed these white people off
Maybe you should try to convince rural white Americans to stop being racist and voting for racist candidates who make false assertions about Black social movements instead of lecturing us on how to not try anything because it might not work.
You don't need someone making a judgement call for banning these though:
That's celebrating genocide. Should be a crime.
In a democracy, the majority writes the laws.

Fuck man, I have some personal soul-searching to do...
Hate speech laws in America are so nebulous that I wouldn't be surprised if this very thing has happened in the past.

BLM and Antifa don't have a symbol and a salute from a time when the ENTIRE WORLD went to war to stamp out genocide and racism.

Question:
Is Trump's "all sides" reaction a sign of him being confused, trying to be careful not to complicate matters before consulting his staff, ignorance, or sheer hate?
I find it hard to get to the root of what is going on his head.
To be its very telling he was on the "call it islamic terrorism" boat while Obama was in office but here he will not say "white supremecy" or "bigotry".

I agree. I just don't agree that singling out Nazis will actually accomplish anything in regards to quelling this type of hate speech, and I think broader hate speech laws would be really easy to abuse in the wrong hands.
I don't have anything against branding neonazi as a terrorist group perse, I'm just not sure that will do a single goddamn thing to stop them
Terrifying image of todays radical MAGA terror attack.

The murder is 20 years old. 20. Born 1997. He is another white man that is too incompetent to do anything with his life that at the age of 20 he decides to take the gift of life away from other more compassionate and deserving individuals.
Scum. I hope he rots.

Again, I have no problems with naming the nazis a terrorist organization in and of itself, but I honestly don't think specifically calling them out will actually change anything either
He is taking a sarcastic shot at people who called him a Nazi
He saw a news report about a racist rally and a terrorist attack and thought "hmmm, how does this relate to my brand, better use this opportunity to score points against my critics"
He's a really bad person and given how influential he is with so many young people I find myself hoping he forgets to look both ways next time he crosses the street
Twitter and reddit need to take a fucking stand and get rid of Donald on Twitter and get rid of any white nationalist subscribing threads on reddit. It would be a good PR move and I think would actually net them positive new users.
In some ways though these tweets are what is hurting trump most so I dunno. I just don't think they should give him a platform.

It'll stop actual speech in support of them? You know, like the over speech right now?
It'll make them more problematic to support? Push them into the underground again?
Basically, a much better position than Neo-Nazis marching with the flag and being the utter scum of humanity.

Why do you keep saying this when it has been constantly refuted? Broad hate speech laws have literally never ever been used to oppress people in democratic countries.

The people marching would - to a white man - inter in camps any muslims that spoke even in private with any sympathy for the Islamic state or Isis.
Their love of opinion diversity and free speech extends only to their own nose. For the same reason that you don't invite the the Islamic state into your democracy so they can win and ban elections, you don't let Nazis march.

Funny, I was hearing that 20 years ago too.
Disagree with Twitter, his account is the best advertisement against him.
Reddit has no reason to keep the_donald around at all though.

Yep, they can't run from this. What do they think they were doing when they were denying that Obama was American? It was feeding these people and their bullshit belief that "their" country was being stolen from them.
Yeah, it was going to be that or some GamerGate nonsense. And no, this isn't where you go for the middle you fucking fool. Going for the middle is, like, whether they should spend more on the parks, or the libraries.

It's really depressing too because I'm the same age and I truly thought our generation was going to be overwhelmingly blue... and then 4chan, reddit and youtube happened.
Definition of democracy:
plural democracies

The United States government is run by white supremacists.
You can apply this to literally any other terrorist organization

Because Americans think that freedom of speech somehow includes historically genocidal groups of people waving the exact same flag.
Wish we had more brutal reality taught in America, instead History classes tend to go over things in broad strokes.
Remember how the Nazis told Jewish women they'd get double rations if they were pregnant, then took them right to the furnaces?
Want those people to have free speech now?!
The United States is not a democracy, it is a republic. Otherwise Trump would not be president.

And when such a law passes, they'd just immediately rebrand and stop using swastikas. It does nothing to solve the underlying issues. Things like that will take time to become law, and that time will allow them to dodge the problem. And since you can't legally convict somebody of something they did before that act was made illegal, you end up changing nothing
I'm not talking about naming nazis a terrorist organisation. What are you even talking about? Aren't you aware about the history at all? You don't need to label the nazis, they existed in reality and their crimes are well documented. Those are the symbols of a regime that existed and killed millions of people. I don't care about any American organisation whatsoever, showing these symbols in public should be a crime. It's celebrating genocide and a (very real) criminal regime.

remember how we fucked up reconstruction and let a lot of traitors who started a war to keep black people as slaves get federal government positions and statues instead of hanging them and now we have neo-nazis protesting and killing people over removing the statues of those fucks

True, but I honestly don't think the alt right functions like a traditional terrorist organization
Only matters when the white folks are doing the dying on this soil. Otherwise it's just black and brown getting out of hand, being contained however it needs to be done, and being used as propaganda tools for these very same evil fucks and their fence sitting brethren.
