    They really do feel like diversity and immigration, and women's rights, are all a war on white men. They want to return to a day when they had unquestioned privilege, whether they conceptualize it that way or not. It's plain as lily white day. When they say they fear being "replaced," and since they talk all the time of "cucks," I can only imagine that their subconscious fears some sort of sexual impotence and genetic irrelevance. It's hard to ponder in any reasonable way.

    While white men still have the most political and economic power, a lot of them don't like the slope of the graph, right? They fear further change.

    As for the 11th, can't the counter-protestors organize a massive, peaceful rally that's a couple of miles away from the goons? Strength, peace, and togetherness, in numbers, would be much more impressive than giving the goon nazis another chance for violence.

    An embarrassment to all WWII veterans. We handled this in the 40s

    I believe that's the plan. The university is also putting on a big free concert-type thing at the same time as the Nazi-fest.

    Humanity doesn't do anything, apparently, as a once and for all. Just not the way of our species. Every bit of progress is subject to slipping away. I never used to think that way.

    It's a disgrace that the President of the United States has to be cajoled into condemning Nazis and the Klan. All of Europe is disgusted as well. The rise of right wing hate groups just got a wink wink to go forward.

    It's going to be next to impossible to find any racist white people in College Station to attend a lame ass hate rally.

    I think these snowflakes need a safety zone to protest in.

    I listened to public radio this morning about this Klan live matter business and the "BTHO Hate" counter protester organizer was taking this exact stand. Peaceful and near by, but away from the goons to avoid violence. I don't think they are a large group thought. Maybe that change after this past weekend.

    why would you make a thread about this. just ignore them. Drawing attention to them is stupid and invites conflict.

    How kind has history been to those who look the other way to Nazis and whites supremacy movements?

    Plus if a Muslim man/woman would have ran their car through a group of innocent protestors at a Radical Islamic rally in Charlottesville you'd never hear the end of it. Yet since 2001 there have been 3x more hate crime murders in the US than radical Islamic murders. I don't think folks on the Right have a right to tell people they are spending too much time and giving too much attention to a form of Terrorism.

    You might think this is just a joke and we shouldn't give them attention but many people, myself included, see a growing problem in the US, and while I'm opening to hearing what solutions you have, I don't agree that looking the other way is a solution. It's being complicite.

    Well and you'd be correct, from a pragmatic standpoint. Violence is what the nazis want and that's why they show up with shields and clubs and helmets.

    Socialists fought the Nazis tooth and nail in the streets from the end of WWI into the 1920's and most middle of the road Germans just concluded "they're both crazy." A net win for the truly insane Nazis (and their progenitors).

    Drown them with peaceful, nonviolent numbers that dwarf them, and then crush them in the ballot box. That's all you can do.
