(9,880 posts)I wish I understood the factors that create people like this. Is it poor education, parents, mental deficiencies? The Internet makes it easy to organize and spread this hatred, so how do we stop it?

(34,977 posts)We have people in this country, I'm in this, we do get the short end of the stick, the raw deal. At first when I was told "we have the greatest economy ever because the Dow is the highest ever" even though around this time I was going to bed hungry... some great economy. At first I was in shock, then it turned to outrage.
This is life for some people, you hear of all these great things but where are they for you? You're getting nothing but eviction notices and form reply job rejection responses that make you feel like an interchangeable nobody.
I'm glad I developed a lot of my leftwing/liberal ideas when I was younger before this period of crisis happened and I am glad I have GLBTQ people, Muslims, and an immigrant in my extended family; I don't know what would have happened to me if I didn't have these people and things in my network as well as being smart enough to see what is going on.
Things in our society pass some of these people by - But it's not the immigrant doing it, it's not the transgender person doing it, it's not the Muslim refugee doing it, or the Jewis... er, international banker globalist doing it. It's other white people cutting them out, just richer and more powerful.
And this is where privilege comes into play. These people would rather hold onto a white identity (And as a master status or as a high status to them) and have a misplaced kinship with the exact same people screwing them over and instead attack the 'other', people 'below' them. That way, the problem isn't the system, it's with some of the people in it.

" Michael Von Kotch, a Pennsylvania resident who called himself a Nazi, said the rally made him "proud to be white."
He said that he's long held white supremacist views and that Trump's election has "emboldened" him and the members of his own Nazi group. "

(21,146 posts)that many supremacists come from abusive homes. They seek scapegoats for their anger and low self-esteem instead of facing their own personal issues. Superiority over people of other ethnic, racial, or socio-economic groups boosts their ego and self-image.
Not much we can do about long entrenched supremacists today except protect people from them, as the FBI is doing. But for the future, intervention in abusive situations will benefit not only the immediate victims, but also society as a whole. It really does take a village to raise a child.

(6,699 posts)...but what about that story with some "undocumented criminal that killed the pretty girl in California". We'll play that song over and over until every goon that watches fox/Putin TV is afraid to step outside their door for fear an undocumented person is going to kill them.
