Killing time is it's own reward.

One mentally unhinged guy, unaffiliated with any organization at all, hardly qualifies as "a group of neo-*****".
When it's a white person who actually did affiliate themselves with the white supremacist movement and actually murdered a room full of people you're awful quick to jump to the "bad apple" rhetoric, aren't you? Yet when a group of black people just talk about killing well, they're just all absolutely the worst?

So what percentage of white supremicists and neo-Na
zis are good apples to you? You can't make the bad apple argument without conceding you also believe there are good apples.

My being right? At least we agree on that.

Many people display symbols.
As funny as your trying to diminish the swastika to "just any ol' symbol" the people that do wear them aren't doing it to bring back Sanskrit.

Most of them don't understand
Sure, there are people that think swastikas are actually minimalist pinwheels.

Go walk around a college campus sometime and see the students sporting Che Guevara t-shirts, and talking about peace and equality and whatnot.
You could make the argument that they're not taught anything about Che Guevara in school so the ignorance is (
somewhat) understandable. The only people ignorant about swastikas are people that are willingly ignoring what it represents.

Of course you're "not."

Actually saying "we should kill <insert group here> is a real threat.
Why is it a real threat when black people do it, yet when a group of white people who affiliate themselves with actual real terrorist groups it's just that they're exercising their right to speak, and when their members actually act on it they're suddenly and coincidentally mentally unhinged and weren't associated with them afterall!
