A neo-Nazi group scattered fliers across lawns and doorsteps in three Waterloo, Iowa, neighborhoods just before Veterans Day. The handouts offered a chilling assessment of the group’s proximity, in capital letters: “We are your neighbors! We are the random stranger holding the door open for you!” it read. “We are everywhere.”

About a week later, about a dozen people marched through a part of Columbus, Ohio, that is known for arts and culture, carrying Nazi flags and using a bullhorn to shout racial slurs against Jews and people of color. A similar scene unfolded in downtown Nashville over the summer.

Flash displays of hate and white power are happening more frequently in the United States, a trend that experts say is a reaction to changing demographics, political turmoil and social catalysts. More than 750 such incidents have taken place since 2020, according to the Anti-Defamation League, with more than half of them occurring in the last 18 months.

And yet these same news organizations reporting on this will conveniently ignore their own culpability in spreading the hateful propaganda for profit.

Npr talked about this very well. How news outlets are also at fault for making him look less of threat, doing the click bait, and just over exhausting people over someone that were nothings.

I see NPR as neutral and trying to report news without bias.

They do try, but it does result in "both sides"-isms way too often. You do not need to counter every claim from the left with a claim from the right. It's okay to say that one side is wrong. That is not necessarily bias.

Just wait until the lynchings start and the new justice department can't be fucked to investigate any of them. Then the real 'fun' begins.

Don't worry, any incidents of self-defense by minorities will be rigorously investigated and any relevant evidence ~~fabricated~~ found

Its like the a majority (or at least the ones in power) are turning into Nazis.

Guess that's why the camps are being built to help people in the population to concentrate, in Texas as a example.

It is almost like they are domestic terrorists. Nah they now represent the majority of voters in America.

Making up for their lack of racial tolerance with fatness.
