This is so horrifying, wtf is wrong in the us?

The racism is a feature, not a bug.

 

[Jeff6851]

They're expecting and are looking for overwhelming pushback. The point is these types thrive off of pissing off liberals and "SJWs".

They have no real power or number in a city like Charlottesville anyway. Its a call for a controversial reaction from a mostly liberal town which will draw eyes to them and perhaps validation and sympathy through that reaction for being the little guy outnumbered by society. Thats their goal.

They do that online and no one can do anything about it. Now people will show up with weapons and they'll run just like the did in STL and other cities and never show their faces again.

 

[ponpo]

Is this some attempted Fackelzug.

What idiots. Maybe tomorrow they'll start painting JUDE and star of davids on local businesses.

 

[Living the Dream]

I can't believe this is happening. America is literally reversing. We shun diversity, science, and intellect. WTF is going on!?

omg LOL

Come to NOLA with that bullshit

 

[Slayven]

Yeah but Identity Politics are the problem

 

[MKIL65]

So many there too, think how many of those people are cops, judges or even just store managers with some level of power to effect a non-white persons life in a fucked up negative way.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Why else would cops let them go? Disgusting.

 

[mjp2417]

They look economically anxious. Practically destitute.

Nothing has changed. The sentiment this rally represents has always been present in parts of our country, it's just out in the open now.

We're in an ideological civil war; Globalism/progressivism vs. nationalism/white supremacy.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Alt-Right Supremacist.. Smh.

 

[Armadilo]

guess the real rally begins tomorrow and this was just a warm up for that, Mod should update if I don't get a chance.

So what happened right now -

city council vote to remove the confederate monument spurred tonight's Nazi torch march and tomorrow's white supremacist rally

"Get your tiki torches! Wanna spread white nationalism, but can't seem to figure out how to express that rage by creating basic tools of survival? Then you've come to the right place! Come get your tiki torches folks!"

Ah, so this is over the Confederate statues.

A year old, but here's a good discussion with our preeminent Civil War historian.

[Volimar]

How can they expect anyone to take them seriously when they're using tiki torches.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

Looks like kind of a sausage-fest going by the pics in the OP.

 

[Apt101]

How can they expect anyone to take them seriously when they're using tiki torches.

Seriously, they look so ridiculous.

 

[Username1198]

I thought we weren't calling them alt-right anymore?

They are white supremacist terrorist

Should be on a terrorist watch list.

Edit LMAO tiki torches?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

God I wish the Confederate leaders were actually dealt with properly at the time and hung from the gallows or shot by firing squad.

We really fucked up reconstruction.

 

[mjp2417]

How can they expect anyone to take them seriously when they're using tiki torches.

It makes a certain amount of sense. The defining quality of the Trump era has been the weird mixture of naked malevolence and total buffoonery. White supremacists invoking the KKK with fucking tiki torches fits right in.

 

[Nepenthe]

These are the people we told you not to empower this last election. Thanks Trump voters. Your silence is telling.

 

[Shard]

They look economically anxious. Practically destitute.

All they could afford was tiki torches of hate.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

Aren't those probably pussy grabber voters holding the rally? I'd say they're making plenty of noise.

 

[Black Republican]

Waiting for Tomi's take

 

[Elegant Weapon]

So has the point been made that no one really needs to see a weekly hour long HBO drama about if the Confederate states had won and kept chattle slavery until present day with sympathetic slave owners n shit?

 

[Nepenthe]

Aren't those probably pussy grabber voters holding the rally? I'd say they're making plenty of noise.

I thought these people weren't representative of the general Trump voter.

 

[Borgnine]

Fuck it man grab some mai tais and some Les Baxter records and join the party.

 

[cubicle47b]

Everyone I know in Charlottesville (co-workers, I do remote work for UVa) will be extremely happy when the statue is removed and the protesters and counter-protesters leave. edit: They also made my wife's life very difficult this week because of a state police project she had to manage.

"We will not be replaced," says group where you could swap one for the other and nobody would notice.

the best way to not be "replaced" is to look like you've touched a living human woman

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Sounds like a bunch of people who need to be put in jail.

 

[Dishwalla]

Love some aspects of the South and all, but there are still lots of problems to iron out. Lots. Feels weird to think this is only roughly 4 hours from my present location.

 

[Ponn]

Well, at least they aren't wearing hoods anymore.

pretty sure they had spookier shit than home depot tiki torches held by racist virgins in RE4

 

[pigeon]

Yeah but Identity Politics are the problem

In fairness, it really is, just not ours.

 

[UberTag]

Terrorists

Back in the days of Ruby Ridge, Waco and Timothy McVeigh they used to be rightfully called terrorists. Now they've infested Reddit, Facebook, Fox News, Breitbart, the military, the church, the police, the NRA and every level of US government. They're now emboldened and consider themselves American patriots and have an unparalleled social media presence with which to wage terror.

 

[Ponn]

We also have the internet now!

Right, when its gets much more easier and faster to identify people and plaster their information all over THATS when the racists start taking off their hoods and costumes. Brilliant!

 

[Not]

What if the white supremacist South was still around and had power???

My brain is reeling from the narrative possibilities

the master race

 

[jellies_two]

So I see the state of Kekistan is progressing.
Apparently there are two alt factions now that hates Jews and likes the kkk, the other prefers nationalists who dress up from a brooks brothers catalog and hide the extremism more.

mean, you can sum up Charlottesville's problem with one stat: Half of school-age children here are white but only 41% attend city schools.

If you ever wondered why the GOP always wants to cut education funding: this is why- many of those people refuse to send their kids to public school.

 

[Frozenprince]

And I bet they all believe they ain't actually bigots too.
