I'm sure that not literally everyone at a Nazi rally is actually a Nazi. But the Unite the Right rally and posters were full of actual Nazi symbols. There were enough Nazi and white power symbols that anyone marching there is either: 1

What point? That living in one small exurb in the South gives them enough experience to generalize a region of 125 million people?

I'm not explaining your experience to you. I'm telling you that your experience growing up in 1 place doesn't give you the ability to generalize a entire region. >exurban Atlanta Exurban Atlanta is not Atlanta. That's

The hierarchy in a game object scene graph tends to be much shallower than a UI hierarchy, so I’m not sure if that is a good comparison.

I usually don’t have to throttle my thoughts with video conferencing unless there are more than 1 or 2 other people on the conference. But when there are more than 3 people in a conference room, I have to throttle my thoughts there as well.
