I missed the part where a neonazi was killed by a "vigilante" antifa. You got a link?
No, no, you don't. Of course.

Doing nothing, in this case, is better than engaging in a way that accomplishes nothing and carries the risk of escalating the violence.
KKK/Nazi level racism lost a long time ago. Now the issue is shitty education. But that's a more complicated issue. Because when all those woke white folk out battling Hitler 2.0 have kids, you can bet your ass they're sending them to the school with the least poor minorities they can find.
I'll take "complacency" for $1000, Alex.
The fact that these guys are marching is your warning that they, uh, exist. And when you consider that most sympathizers will not march in protest for any cause, but will vote and otherwise lend support, you come to understand that there are many silent sympathizers.
You say "KKK/Nazi level racism lost a long time ago". I say that all racism should be countered, lest it once again become the norm here.
But hey, enjoy your apathy and be happy you're white. No doubt it works for you.
