I guess they really hate it that we have our own well-established hand signal.
where did i say that? you seem to be cherry picking my statements for me, and deliberately misinterpreting them.
It may be a bandaid but I wouldn’t take anything away from what fog is doing. When I saw the thread at the beginning I was “oh god, it’s a fucking ok sign” once I watched the pics and videos my perspective changed to “fucking racist assholes”. Your right Rodger, it’s a disease and I think, for the most part, hereditary. Now you’ve got a POTUS that is basically saying your a good citizen if your a racist dick. Hopefully this will and has opened a few peoples minds to how screwed up the whole thing has gotten. How could it not?
no, it wasn't my intention to take anything away from Fog, he does what his conscience tells him to do, and i admire that, actually.
You are the saddest, most pathetic loser I’ve ever seen
I got your message and am thinking about how to respond to the "why can't we just fix the problem" part of the statement. I don't have an answer other than to look at the direction we are heading and taking the steps that I've already laid out to you that I'm doing to head it off. There is more than one way to skin this cat. All I can do is encourage you to do more to facilitate what you say you want for our society.
I think a huge message would be to kick Trump to the curb next time around but then he would become a martyr for the fringe right.

I will reiterate that all of the heavy violence done to people, the injuries and deaths, are taking place on the side of people who protest against fascism. The hate groups insist that we let them -- hundreds of people who are quite fearsome both in costume and ability -- to march through our streets and project the message of the power of white supremacy at the citizens of our city. The photo below was posted by a member of that white supremacist delegation prior to that group arriving at Charlottesville. Note the hand signals they showed before they headed out into deliberate battle. Don't forget that they pre-planned to defeat the security cordon set up by the police so they could fight with counter-protesters. The people you see the in the image planned ahead of time to break police lines and beat people who intended to peacefully let the police do their jobs of protecting people.
That it backfired in a publicity disaster is more about how people like you and I saw what they did and disagreed with them.
Gavin McInnes, leader of Proud Boys claims that: "Fighting solves everything". I'll post a follow up post that contains his message of how wonderful violence is.
Maybe the black hats are preferred because the wearers are less likely to stand out in a crowd? These guys certainly do prepare and think it through before going into battle. And they wonder why we don't want them parading down our streets carrying torches and shouting "you won't replace us" in front of little kids. Imagine that.

Propaganda is a powerful weapon and effective unless it is immediately countered with a good factual counter argument.
you said it better than I.
