I keep hearing about this growing white supremacist threat, and while in some dark corners of the internet there do seem to be some examples of it, I can't say that I have any reason to think it's growing. What I've seen growing is the willingness of supposedly anti-racist groups to label as white supremacist anyone who disagrees with them on any issue, which is not helpful.
I'd be interested to learn why some seem to find this comment objectionable.
- fixermark 8y agoThe growing white supremacist threat is indicated by the rise in hate crimes in the United States. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/13/us/hate-crimes-fbi-2017.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/13/us/hate-crimes-fbi-2017.h...
- pavlov 8y agoTwo objectionable things: - You’re wrong about the rise of right-wing extremist violence, as the sibling comment points out. - This is a thread celebrating the life of someone killed by a right-wing extremist. Your reply is basically “I don’t think they are a problem, can’t we talk about mean SJWs instead”
- epicureanideal 8y agoThis thread may have originally been about celebrating someone's life, but politics was inserted well before my comments.
