Can you share an example of where you've seen neo-Nazis recently (like legitimate, swastika-branded Nazis)?

Does this fit the description? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-camp-auschwitz-shirt-photographed-u-s-capitol-riot-arrested-n1254070 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-camp-auschwitz-shir...

  I'd say so. How many people like that do you think are bumping around having a meaningful impact on people's belief systems (versus just being ignorant in their own little bubbles)? I ask that because the level of fervor and fear around Nazis these days makes it sound like they're goose-stepping around in large groups.

The guy to his right in the mask is Matthew Heimbach, former leader of the Traditionalist Workers Party (a neo nazi org).

      No. It’s not a surprise the only other example you could pull is the other one that was pushed by the media relentlessly for years. Anything else? I keep hearing America is a white supremacist country with Nazis everywhere. Where are they? Shouldn’t I see them more often? Why were there so many minorities at Trump rallies who were welcomed and never harmed (myself among them)? Maybe it’s all just a narrative being pushed?

        You got me. Guess I should just capitulate. Where’s the punch bowl?
