Facebook has started banning accounts affiliated with far-right group the Proud Boys

It is a fundamental tenet of the far-right to be violent towards minorities and "protected classes" of people.

Why exactly are people trying to constantly redefine what things mean? Racism doesn't mean racism, it means systemic racism. (doesn't apply to white people) - Same thing with sexism.

Now you try to re-label "far right" - as Nazi ideology. You won't really define who in the country is a part of the far right. You make it some ridiculously vague boogeyman.

An example is Charlottesville. CNN reported 50 people showing up for the 'rally' with over a thousand counter protesters.

It then gets reported on as massive nazi rally's are happening all over the country. Where the fuck is the evidence of that?

and before you start talking about the recent attacks, crazy people have always used what gets them attention. That's how psychopaths work. when I was in high school (shortly after 9/11) - all the school threats were bombs. It switched to shootings now. It's usually been the method of attack that the media focuses on, but it's clear now that a specific ideology will get you a lot more attention. It's what these crazy motherfuckers want, attention. (Well documented by science...)

Robin Williams suicide is a good example of the same psychological effect. Sure, their psycho-motivations were on the right, but to look at two insane people try to kill hundreds, and then around and say "SEE! THAT'S WHY THE FAR-RIGHT IS BAD" - It just leaves me baffled at what you hope to accomplish.
