How sheltered do you have to be to think that this is a recent phenomenon? White supremacists have never stopped marching or doing events. The only difference with this recent one is that they drove in from all over the nation instead of being the poorly attended mess of 5-25 local idiots being caged off from a shitton of counterprotesters.

I think this is sometimes the case, but definitely not always. At least in my case, I was sort of radicalized by being directly exposed to a lot of actual "high finance" employees (investment bankers, etc) during college (as a finance major myself). What radicalized me wasn't so much a sense that these people were really terrible or anything (they were actually fun to hang out with), but more the impression that their circumstances inherently made them harmful. Like, it's almost impossible for someone to immerse themselves in that sort of environment and not become toxic to society's well being. Even people in that sort of environment who genuinely mean well lose touch with "regular people" and end up proposing solutions that wouldn't actually help. Basically, I came away from the whole experience with the general impression that rich people aren't evil caricatures, but that the mere fact of "being wealthy" fundamentally corrupts people, regardless of how good their intentions might be.

Another thing to keep in mind regarding the Nazi/alt-right people is that those movements tend to have a threshold of sorts. Like, there's very little transition between "relatively trivial and uninfluential" and "a big deal." Things end up hitting a point where a bunch of more risk-averse fascist-types feel the group is big enough that they can safely participate without repercussions. For every person who is currently willing to march with the white supremacists, there are probably many more who would be willing to march if they felt the movement was bigger and they could do so without any repercussions. The same goes for violence. A lot of Nazi folks currently aren't willing to commit violence because they don't feel they could get away with it, but the moment a big enough riot broke out that they felt like they wouldn't be caught, a lot of these guys would totally be willing to do some terrible stuff.

edit: Basically the point here is that you won't necessarily have the opportunity to gradually watch things become worse and step in before they get too bad. It's best to just squash this stuff before it can reach the point that more people become emboldened.

Did you miss my point where they drove in from all over the country? This isn't anything new.

quote:

Matthew Hal, leader of the white supremacist group World Church Of The Creator, spoke to about 70 supporters inside a library while police officers in riot gear separated shouting groups of his supporters and (hundreds of) antiracist protesters.

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/13/us/white-supremacists-rally-in-york-pa.html

quote:

Neo-Nazi skinheads and anti-racist anarchists fought in the streets yesterday in this central Pennsylvania city still feeling the aftermath of deadly race riots 32 years ago.

One anti-racist was run down when a skinhead, cornered in an alleyway, tried to barrel his way through a mob of counter-demonstrators. The white, Ford pickup truck carried the young man on its fender for almost 20 feet before he landed in an alley.

(...)

Police said 25 people were arrested, most for disorderly conduct, during a day of street attacks that began shortly after 9 a.m. as the city geared up for a speech by the leaders of several white supremacist groups.

"They're using York city as a fighting ground," said state police Maj. Henry Oleyniczak.

Police said 17 of those arrested were out-of-state residents and included the driver of the pickup truck. Guns were confiscated from two neo-Nazis.

The day began with random attacks on vehicles with decals or plates suggesting membership in far-right groups and escalated after a series of fistfights between skinheads and counter demonstrators.
