Watching (self-declared) non-Nazi Alt Right figureheads squirm and rage about the "scum tier" on twitter has been quite humorous, however.

If you want to be considered something other than Nazis, don't use their symbols and their salute. Otherwise, you're claiming it.

You could run fascism or right wing racism with a different set of symbols, I would think, but... just as well they don't.

Apart from this bunch of morons, every fascist movement to date managed to take some kitsch version of their own history for symbols.

It means that my early dreams about trying to make twitter into a truth machine were naive; it's much more of an outrage machine. #FML

Well, Twitter is a mouthpiece for (most of) its users, no? It will be as we are.
