    Theory: One reason neo-nazis are emerging now is that their ancestors who fought the original Nazis are now dead.

        If their great-grandfathers who fought in WWII could see alt-rightists applauding "Hail Trump," they'd give them such an ass-kicking...

        There should be plenty of alive, well educated, bright-minded Americans left among you to give them that ass-kicking in their place.

        There are, but they don't have the ex officio moral authority of one's own ancestors.

        you can fit all the neo-nazis in the USA into one lecture theatre. Not worth paying so much attention to them, however odious.

        Unfortunately the lecture-theater sized space they're all crammed into is the White House.

        if that was true I'd be very concerned, but there's no evidence Trump has sympathy with them, and much he does not.

        1/People confuse tech progress with moral progress. Behaviors and beliefs (however retrograde) take years to root out.

        2/The other thing is that tech progress convinces current generations that studying history is an irrelevancy best left to others.

        my theory is that liberals have fabricated the Neo-Nazi movement to demonize Trump mostly because they are sore losers

        That ... does not quite explain their emergence in Germany.

        I was just thinking yesterday how sad my grandpa would have been to see this. He landed on D-Day, saw the camps, only to see this?

        they have always been around, it it's now that the media are covering it. I'd suggest there has been a decline since social media.
