all that stuff started out as a troll, but ended up with legitimate Nazis. The problem with pretending to be a Nazi on the internet for kicks (well, one of them - there's plenty) is that no-one knows your real views - all they have is your outwardly-projected views, which are those of a Nazi. This upsets the outraged, as is the intention, but it also makes people who aren't familiar with the culture war think that there's an upswell of Nazis, and makes legitimate Nazis think they're in good company.

It's stupid and dangerous on both sides, and I really wish this wasn't the game that everyone was playing on the internet now.
