Most teenagers are rebellious in that they don't want to listen to their parents, drink and try drugs, stay out past curfew

Most teenagers aren't advocating that Hitler had good ideas and that all black people should be lynched. Just because you have experience with these racists (hopefully you weren't one as a teenager) does not mean its ok to pretend that its fine to normalize this behavior

It used to be considered "normal" to bully and ruin the lives of gay people as a teenager too. Now you'll be hard pressed to find anybody under eighteen that would willingly do that to a classmate. Society has changed and shitty behavior like racism, antisemitism, and homophobia get called out as they should.

When they don't you end up with groups like the proud boys and closet white supremacist like the grad student in the article.
