Moral Panic — from anti-commie to anti-nazi

[kandrathe]

The only reason why White Supremacists are ineffectual is because they have no power and they would be crushed if they tried to revert things back to the Jim Crow days. Treating them as cute defanged beasts ignores the fact that they had to be defanged in the first place.

There are places in the deep south and well as pockets in some northern states that would show you that the white supremacists haven't been defanged.

While I don't agree with the antifa, we should never, ever, stop fighting against bigotry no matter where it rears its ugly head.

I actually agree with you both in that those bigots are there and maybe always will. My concern is where sides the various local, state and fed governments power. Various hateful groups have hardly fangs, so long as we can trust the law to not be corrupted by them.
