They call themselves a “fraternity” to give ideological cover to their far-right beliefs and history of violence.
Instead, why not use the designation of a professional third-party, like the @splcenter, which calls them a “hate group”?

I get that there's this ongoing tension but u gotta admit that a bunch of ppl piling on to tell a woman journalist what a frat is ... it's interesting...
You call two people with similar polite criticism a “pile on”? Go fuck yourself if you want to make unsubstantiated accusations of sexism, Alex.

Alright so it's not a "pile on" so much as it is two ppl with repeating comments, apologies for not understanding that. At the same time, ur "politeness" seems also kinda condescending. Ur pretty rude/defensive to me which sort of reflects on the sentiment more generally

What if the National Socialist Movement has been described as a “fraternity” here? The KKK? Substitute any other hate group, and this would be a wildly softball description. But instead asking that the media get it right, you want to accuse me of sexism and tone police me?

I feel like you recently suggested I was being sexist when I thought another journalists characterization of Atomwaffen ignored their white supremacy.

I did because you were, Shane. You jumped in to mansplain Atomwaffen to a female far-right researcher, like she had no idea what she was talking about. Making that kind of bad-faith assumption is sexist. Taking issue with someone’s word choice is not.
