| >>Yet no Nazi symbolism or chants were present in the Alt-Right's ranks before Antifa started to organize Black Blocks and turned protests violent. I don't know where you get your news. This is from July 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijRE9eR6tX0 An Republican National Convention speaker openly doing the Nazi salute at the end of her speech. No one batted an eye. This is from November 21st, 2016: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/richard... Members of the audience perform the Nazi salute at the end of white supremacist Richard Spencer's speech. I can go on. The fact is that Nazis have always been a part of the alt-right for as long as the alt-right has existed, because their ideology strongly aligns with, and is the logical end result of, alt-rightism. They show up at alt-right rallies because they know they can recruit young, impressionable people to their ranks there by whipping them up into a frenzy. If you think they started showing up only after Antifa broke a few store windows, you haven't been paying attention. |
