>These little islands of people with strange ideas are always interesting to me, but it never seems that we ever really find out what motivates them. Not just motivates the founders, but those who join them. There are entire schools of academia, philosophy and political theory around what motivates white supremacy and white identity in the United States, even up to the current white supremacist/alt-right zeitgeist within the Trumpist movement. We know what these people believe, if for no other reason than they've infested every corner of every platform on the web and won't shut up. I've even seen people on Hacker News argue the beliefs reflected in the article. I think dang (or is it tomhow, now) probably has "don't incite race war" set up as a macro.
