Don't they know that opposing white supremacists just plays into their hands and the smart thing to do is to let them terrorize and shut down a town?

Traditionalist Workers Party are not MAGA CHUDS or pepe boys; they are legit white power pieces of poo poo that want ethnic cleansing.

Notice the makeup of the WP guys at Auburn and now Pikeville - not a POC among them. Very different than the CHUDS/Pepes who are a mixed bag of crazies across racial lines.

I definitely remember hearing about it being a white power thing a long time ago, my undergraduate D&D group was using it as an in joke to make fun of a racist guy we kicked out

but yeah it's primary meaning is innocuous and innocent because it's the "okay" symbol

it's also that thing where you hold it under your belt line and punch a dude who looks at it

Stop letting racists redefine everything.

Its the okay symbol, that's what it means. If anyone uses it for anything else, then they're a stupid moron.

All your doing when you say with a shocked expression "actually, its a white power symbol" is letting them set the terms. It's a transparent troll, because for anyone outside looking in, you look crazy for saying a normal thing is this code or whatever. And that's the goal, to make you look bad.

Don't fall for it, they're just being morons.

It really is like ISIS! At least it's pulling from the same category of people, leaving aside the jokers.

Spend a little time browsing alt-right twitter and you'll run into some budding Elliot Rodgers. They've all glommed onto this cyber-fascist thing like june bugs attracted to a porch light.

I was looking at pics of the Pikeville rally earlier and stumbled onto an alt-right twitter account that popped up a few weeks ago. Lives in Texas, gives me eerie Rodger vibes with talk about accepting an early violent death and his issues with depression. Wanted to get involved in Identity Europa and a Houston-area alt-right group called the Houston Goylers that is affiliated with it, but complained that they only accepted upper-middle-class types with stable jobs (which he doesn't have). Comments about living in Houston and feeling alienated; not having a community, etc.

There's the pattern: Alienation in the modern world, meet extremist identity formation. The fact that these groups are trying to keep the more radical / would-be shooters out is good for the groups but bad for the would-be shooters who may seek alternative courses of action. On the positive side he seems to be focused on starting his own alt-right podcast, so at least he's not talking about imminently hurting anyone so that's good?

There was already the Quebec mosque shooter and now here's another canary: https://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/a-trump-supporter-allegedly-attacked-students-at-a-school?utm_term=.egGZayQr2#.kw6AaRqDj

You've already got that machete dude. I'm not sure Trump can get less popular, he's already down to the no hopers and relentless contrarians. Everyone else has washed their hands of him.

Hey speaking of fascists and pepe memes and stuff, the /pol/ guy who went to a Black Lives Matter march to start poo poo, got confronted, shot 5 people, and claimed "I felt threatened by scary animal-like black people yelling at me" got 15 years.

Of course he wasn't summarily executed like 12 year olds with toy guns, but hey it's a start.

he specifically went there with the intention to shoot black people and get away with it as a justifiable homicide. he was yelling a whole bunch of racist stuff trying to get folks angry enough to attack him, and when he did that, he ran away just enough to say he tried to run (because MN isn't a stand your ground state, or else I'm sure he would have unloaded right there), then when he felt he'd run enough, he turned around and started shooting.

it's a tough one for prosecutors to get a conviction for anything higher than what they did, because he did his best to put himself in a situation where shooting someone was gonna be his only option. i'm glad they got as good of a conviction as they did.

He'll do 10 in and 5 on supervised release, I looked it up and Minnesota has no time off for good behavior or parole board. All offenders do 2/3 of their time in prison and 1/3 on supervised release.

because they are idiots and need to be mad at something instead of actualy fighting back, they would rather let the bigots redefine stuff and then legitimize it for them
