OPINION: The hate has always been here. But now it’s boiling over, and it’s become more socially acceptable to let white-nationalist, misogynistic, even murderous flags fly (by Jenn Jefferys/TVO)

I think it would be more accurate to say that the people driving this hatred no longer care about being socially acceptable.

It still is socially unacceptable in actual society.

The problem is they've found a micro-community who also embraces similar (and often worse) anti-social ideas and behaviors, and has convinced these losers that their dumb ideas are reasonable.

Maybe in university educated society. Any blue collar work place, lots of men's sports teams, etc. has these problems in my experience. When I shifted careers in my 30s from the office to a construction site I was blown away by how right wing everyone was while working for a union.
