It's a backlash from the election of Barack Obama, OP.

The main reason I even made this thread is because I feel these particular groups are growing at an alarming rate. Its gotten to a point where they cannot be ignored anymore.

They still can, actually. They're less mainstream than even a minor twitter blowup.

Its not just America, look at what's going on in the UK and Europe.

Those are old-school racists. This stuff might emerge after another decade or two into the mainstream, in the same way that similar fringe nonsense from the aftermath of Watergate and Watts became the core of the militia movement in the 90s, but right now its main figure is a dude who calls himself "Mencius Moldbug".

OP, who are these people you want to otherize? Should I hate them or just condescendingly brush them off?

TIA.

They're racists and fascists, so you should feel right at home.

The key to understanding many of the crimes of revolutionary regimes is the existence of people like croc suit. Behind his sneering facade lies the institutionalization of dissenters in the USSR, the violence of the Terror, the Cultural Revolution. Rooting his predecessors out prompted the Cultural Revolution, the purges, the Terror itself, ultimately. Because he is incapable of behaving justly, only following blindly whatever ideology he latched on to, he is inherently counter-revolutionary when the goal is a just society. The eternal challenge is how to remove him from any kind of power without bloodshed and without hurting innocents.
