The idea that civil society is done and there’s a whole bunch of Hitlerites running around that need punching is not supported by the facts.

It’s really just an extension of how divisive and polarized American society has become. Both the left and the right so demonize each other, that to the right the left are filled with crazy oversensitive hippy tree-hugging [gay expletive]s; and to the left the right is filled with hate-mongering flag-worshiping gun-toting racist misogynist ignorant hillbillies.

And the media, especially political pundits/commentators, just feed off of all of it and add fuel to the fire by legitimizing the opposing argument. The problem with white nationalism these days is it no longer feels fringe. The fact that a President was elected on nationalist ideals and hires white nationalists to work for him, it has given nationalists the opportunity to come out of the woodwork rather than simply circlejerk each other on racist subreddits.
