a lot of people know antifa exist and hate them which means they are bad. Almost nobody knows who the gently caress proud boys are which makes them nobodies and anarchists cannot comprehend that they’re the baddies when they encourage people like skinny goon to throw his life away

I think that the individual-centric nature of US politics combined with the internet has a way of making people support this sort of stuff. Like you can point to "some guys who are racist" and there's social pressure to never push back against anything negative/aggressive that people say, and this gradually leads to people becoming madder and madder until they inevitably start saying things like "We must kill The Nazis before they kill us. If you disagree with this, you're defending or downplaying The Nazis." The irony of course being that, by focusing on people like the Proud Boys, these people are actually the ones downplaying the people and institutions enforcing real white supremacy.

It's also conveniently very easy for people/institutions with real power to manipulate this sort of sentiment. Just make sure people keep focused on other powerless people and condemn anyone who disagrees as "carrying water for the nazis" or whatever. It's why the FBI is fine with declaring such groups to be terrorists/hate groups.

Looking cute, feeling cute.
in hindsight, keeping the protest thread up after biden got elected and good luck getting actual mobilization on an actual protest effort now that all the libs have butted out was perhaps a bad idea
