      i read the quotation marks as highlighting the absurdity of using that term, as opposed to accurately calling them white supremacists

      In a tweet specifically meant to belittle their significance this strikes me as an exceedingly generous reading

      i see it as meant to belittle how much media airtime/deference they get -- and with that comes the watered-down language used to describe them

      I've always thought the term undeservedly imputes a kind of grand ideological vision to them, and thereby inflates their significance, which then leads to wildly disproportionate media attention

      Ah what I suspected. We’re not allowed to use any labels that would correctly identify the threat they pose or the severity of their ideology. e.g. soft-peddling new-nazis, sort of your beat.

      I don't know, I've always felt that needlessly inflating their significance with undeserved media attention and elaborate, ideologically-dense labels was actually giving them exactly what they wanted

          The president of the United States is giving them 'exactly what they wanted'... a voice in a seat of power. Or did i miss your reflection on how their ideals have wound up in our immigration policy and on the fact that Stephen Miller and Steve King still have jobs.

          what is "ideologically sense" about neo-nazi? it's a perfectly straightforward label that accurately describes the people in question.

          Think real problem is use of "hate groups". Explicit white supremacists should be called "Explicit white supremacists". They should not be called "hate groups" because virtually the entire US political apparatus runs on hate. That's largely what maintains the duopoly.

          Michael I’m sorry I also did this but i hope you understand it’s close to home. Violent, organized white supremacists—with clear ties to mainstream Right, & sympathizers in the White House what they want is not being labeled as such, like “trolls” or “activists,” glossy profiles

          adam johnson blocked me on a dime after what? 1 interaction, because I asked why he’s going after human rights groups doing their jobs, as fostering conflict. i.e. he called them “human rights scolds” re: North Korea.
