Golly, it's a good thing I didn't make that claim then, innit?

Suppressing white supremacy was more a social effect than a legal one.  Here, at least.  Given that it's pariah status is so thorough that the white supremacists, themselves, have spent the majority of their efforts distancing themselves from white sumpremacy (lol?)..I'd say it worked well for what it was, while it worked.

Obviously it didn't fare well when white supremacy successfully rebranded itself as free speech.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I didn't say you did. But it's common.

Yup, that's fair enough.

I guess this is an interesting side note of an example of anti hate laws in action: An anti-LGBTQ and anti-Semitic American Baptist preacher becomes the first person ever to be banned from Ireland.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics...-1.3889848

Quote:The pastor, whose church has a literal belief of the King James version of the Bible, has already been banned from most EU countries, most recently the Netherlands, and from South Africa. He has also been the subject of an exclusion order in the UK.

Doesn't surprise me.  Ireland has never been known as a bastion of free speech.
