A Nashville lawmaker is alarmed to find a group of what appeared to be Nazis in broad daylight, marching the streets of Nashville this President's Day weekend.R
The group of more than a dozen masked individuals marched wearing red shirts and black pants, waving flags with swastikas on them. It is not clear at this time who the group is or affiliated with, though many of the shirts said "Blood Tribe."
oh gee a decade into worldwide hard right authoritarian rise and there's always some yahoo making this same fuckdamn stale joke IN EVERY FUCKDAMN THREAD.
Stormfront has been around for nearly 30 years. HBO made a documentary about them.
There's an argument that big websites are barely moderated now (aside from child porn that can actually get them in trouble) so they're more visible in mainstream places, but they were always there and found each other easily.
Oh I know why but it's not just a Western culture thing, it's a human thing but recently changes in human culture has made the west especially susceptible to it.
It's tribalism and fear and lack of investment in the future of our nation, it's economic stress and social disconnectedness and the very human desire to try and blame all problems on a single monolithic entity, and to follow the largest and loudest person who hates that monolithic entity so much he will take your culture to the victorious promise land of a past that never existed.
