If you think people aren't listening to them, I've got a bridge you might be interested in.
Nah. It's been around for centuries and the numbers have dwindled down to tiny pockets here and there. 99.999% of society still sees (and will continue to see) them as just social retards. All of the protesting and fighting over it just makes the would-be social retards of the world see a place they could get attention if they join in.
Hate has been around forever, but the tamp down in America of the KKK and Neo Nazis didn't really start until the 70s and 80s. Your complacency is disturbing. Lots of Germans thought the same thing when Hitler started making noise before he became a politician.
Yes it would be nice to put them back in the category of "social retards", but no, those groups are feeling emboldened now because of the vile rhetoric of 45.
Never underestimate delusion en mass.
Forgot whom said it but, "Those whom accept an absurdity can go on to commit atrocities." Don't assume it cant happen, only vigilance is prevention, not complacency.
