And considering the minions of White nationalism have already declared war . We should treat it as such

Who are We?
Many of us have student loans on degrees that are worthless.
Many of us fought in wars for Jews.
Many of us have struggled with substance abuse.
Many of us are out of shape.
We feel emasculated.
Many of us feel we have never had power.
We crave power.
We lust after power. We want to be part of a group, which will give us power. A group that will confirm our worth as men.
We do not have identities.
We want identities.
We want to be productive. All men want to be productive. We want to build, we want to create, we want to be needed.
We have problems with women. All of us do. We lie to each other and claim that we do not. But we all do.
We are a generation of throwaways, which (((those who write history before it happens))) have slated to be the last generation of Heterosexual White Men.
We are angry.
There is a atavistic rage in us, deep in us, that is ready to boil over.
There is a craving to return to an age of violence.
We want a war.

Untrue. I think there can be a variety of opinions about the meaning of any given symbol. The racist message could be a valid interpretation, and might even be the correct one, but the means of expression was so vague and ambiguous that we cannot even say with certainty that it was a message at all, much less have any definitive interpretation. You are the one insisting that there is only one possible interpretation whereas I am saying that out of a field of many possible highly speculative interpretations they chose the most threatening one. Then based on their threatening interpretation of an obscure symbol that might not even have been a symbol they radically changed their plans. The way I see it, the students really aren't to blame for their overreaction to the real-life equivalent of Bevis and Butthead. That's what we've come to expect from college-age adults because leftists have spent years telling children ghost stories about racism and now they lie awake all night in fear of KKK boogeymen.  That's the real context.

I'm not denying that there are racially motivated violent criminals. There are. Are their neo-Nazi's? Of course. Are they an existential threat to the USA? Hardly. They are marginalized fringe groups with zero influence. The only power they will ever have will be from paying them any attention and letting them distract us from real threats.

 You who want muslims out for the small percent who are violent, think neo nazis arent a threat when they literally killed an innocent protester one week ago. Do you eat irony for breakfast, to be so full of it?

It depends what you mean by a threat to the USA.  Everything is a potential threat to an innocent bystander but we're talking about the USA as a country.  Car drivers kill people by accident but car drivers in general aren't threats to the USA, but they killed a lot more than one person last week.
I'm not saying there aren't any in existence but I just don't know of many actions that would realistically place the organization of Neo Nazis as being a legitimate threat to the United States of America.

If a Muslim killed one person last week and they were of the same numbers as Neo Nazis in America, if someone said that because of that one death Muslims are now a threat to the USA then that person would be crazy.

With Muslim terrorists, not necesserily Muslims as a whole, there seems to be something more approaching a threat, taking out the twin towers, a hole in the pentagon, shooting, van attacks, bombings each month or so in Europe/England.
