At the time, this was seen as 20,000 immigrants bringing an un-American foreign ideology here. I’m not sure what lessons we’re supposed to draw for our own time except that we need the FBI to neutralize these threats to our democracy.
So I guess Rage Against The Machine was right.
“RD does not make political endorsements, but if my editors allow it, I will suggest this much: unless you’re a goddamn Nazi, don’t vote for the goddamn Nazis. This country hasn’t struggled across generations for something remotely resembling racial and religious freedom to work for the likes of them.”

I’m having flashbacks to the 2017 review thread.
I’ve got an idea. Let’s keep redefining racism until all the racists aren’t racist anymore!

Now who knows where this originated, could be Russian or just some random troll.
If the Alt Right are trading in this idea however it is notable how Anti-Democracy is one of the core principles. I guess, don’t even bother with the pretenses anymore.
/pol/, that, they currently are having a fit about Black Panther.
You know what really shows 4chan to be a den of trolls?
This is a /pol/ meetup
Which race is a minority?
Me watching white people get mad at Black Panther:
Aren’t Japanese honorary Aryans?
Try that on a UK politics forum and you will be drowned under a wave of outraged gammon.
“Racist against white people” is the new meme and its really tiring, it’s another of the reasons I’ve gone completely the other way and am now lecturing them on power, privilege and prejudice. Owen Jones here explains more.
My defence of the issue above has sent the alt right to new heights of hysteria, hatemobbing and frothing red faced rage. It’s possibly one of the most annoying things I’ve ever argued about, people with a post history full of unfettered far right bigotry crying “racist” at me, claiming oppression and persecution because they aren’t allowed to an Young Labour equality conference, and that’s just idiots on the internet, the Tory MPs are even claiming its exclusionary and bigoted too.
btw white men can attend but the idea (before the Tories sic’d the Equality Commission on us) was that you should only vote for the BAME officer if you are BAME, disabled if disabled etc and there isnt an officer for Straight Cis White Men because its a minority activist group.
According to Hitler they were.
So edgy.
Guy on the floor with the half gallon of milk is the edgiest.
It’s 4chan, that’s not milk.
Eew.

Apparently we’re at the point in American politics where condemning white supremacists is considered “divisive”.
Hmm… @wumpus, this is the second WaPo article I’ve linked today that didn’t resolve.
Little bit of background on this - Cox Farms is Northern Virginia institution, at least in the Fall. In October and November they put on a massive, rolling “Fall Fest” type of thing with hay rides, corn mazes, baby goat petting zoos, Bluegrass music, etc. If it sounds like a typical harvest fair, you’re not wrong… but the scale of it is impressive: they can get hundreds of thousands of people on a weekend day, and multiple millions over the course of a month. It’s a MASSIVE thing.
Spoiler: not so much.
Quote from someone complaining about the Resist White Supremacy Sign:
“Resist white supremacy is not an inclusive message,” complained Patty Weston Meizlish, who lives in Louisa, Va. “When you single out a group of people you exclude them. This is a sad message.”
Lol.
