I think this is going to be like that "unite the right thing", where a bunch of people talked tough on-line, but couldn't be bothered to get off the couch. I sincerely doubt this will turn into something serious.
Edit: some one pointed out this was a bad analogy because there was violence. I was not referring to the one in Charlottesville, VA; but the one the next year in Washington, D.C. as about twenty-four people showed [0]. I should have been clearer.

- smt88 7y agoUnite the Right is a poor analogy for this, since it was a white-supremacist rally featuring neo-Nazis that included the public murder of a peaceful protestor. It was "serious" whether well-attended or not. If someone is shot by a US soldier trying to enter Area 51, it will also be serious, even if attendance was low.
