Right but that was, again, a material cause: attacking ISIS, which was already an armed group. Alt-right very different.

Seems to me that your premise is anti-racist ideological arguments will lead to more racism as backlash. I'm not sure that's true.

That's a much more general premise than I'm endorsing here. This is specifically to do with the online troll phenomenon.

How confident are you that alt-right are just trolls & not ideological racists?

From what I gather it's a variegated constellation of actors. Some are ideological racists, some are just trollish provocateurs.

Right. So: don't you think the fact that a presidential candidate is taking memes from some ideological racists is worth noting?

"Worth noting" in what sense? Analytically? Tactically? I'm not really interested in positing what HRC "should" or "should not" do

Worth noting politically. Worth noting if you think anti-racism is an important cause. Worth making an issue out of.

I'm happy to note it myself. It's "worth noting" in that respect.
