Maybe include the rest of the quote: "... if these aspiring fascists stopped supporting violence (direct or state-sponsored) against minority communities. "

- MrZongle2 9y agoOk, I'll bite: how are they supporting violence? Who has made that determination?
- nyargh 9y agoI really shouldn't bite, but by advocating for a white, christian ethnostate in a multi-cultural society, there remains the question of what do you do with the non-hetro, non-christian, non-white population. Unless, of course, you believe white nationalists are honestly arguing for a peaceful, consensual "final solution" to that question, and that they would never act in violence to achieve their goals. But that just doesn't seem to be how they roll. For example, in Portland, the murder of Seraw didn't happen in a vacuum, it was wildly lauded by white supremacists and it gave rise to local SHARPS / ARA (somewhat of an ideological predecessor to today's "Antifa") factions in Portland who eventually ran the white supremacists out of town: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulugeta_Seraw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulugeta_Seraw And more more recently: https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/08/29/man-who-fired-weapon-charlottesville-counterprotesters-identified-ku-klux-klan-imperial https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/08/29/man-who-fired... It's not hard to find examples of this sort of behavior. Again, the "both sides" argument is pretty disingenuous when one side advocates genocide. I've said what I want to say on this, and will assume you are either trolling/willfully ignorant or are sympathetic to the white nationalists. I've seen this argument play out dozens of times online and don't care to take it any further.
