White nationalist Chris Cantwell at Charlottesville. (Evelyn Hockstein for The Washington Post)

The white supremacists, nationalists and far-right trolls who starred in last weekend’s violent Charlottesville rallies have suffered no lack of humiliation in the days since.

Take “Millennial Matt,” whose catchphrase — “Hitler did nothing wrong!” — earned him tens of thousands of fans before he went to the rally, but his Twitter account has since been deleted, his real identity publicized, and he is now begging fans for money to flee his home town because “my life is in shambles.”

There are plenty of other examples, from the hot dog restaurant cook who lost his job to university students whose schools publicly renounced racism after they went to the march. There’s even a Twitter feed devoted to shaming the tiki-torch-lit faces of white nationalism.

But none of the marchers soared so high or crashed so hard as Chris Cantwell, who became the ivory-skinned, gun-toting star of a documentary about Charlottesville that aired Monday on HBO — and a week later is better known as the “weeping Nazi” who got banned from OkCupid..............................

It’s hard out there for a Nazi.


A 36-year old white supremacist who videotaped himself in tears at the prospect of a warrant being issued for his arrest has been banned for life from OK Cupid, the dating website said in a tweet Thursday.

“We were alerted that white supremacist Chris Cantwell was on OkCupid,” the site wrote in a post. “Within 10 minutes we banned him for life. There is no room for hate in a place where you’re looking for love.”

The site also implored users to reach out if they know of any others “involved in hate groups.”

after my wife passed away. Among a few minor exaggerations in my bio, I did tell the truth including I'm a Democrat.

I used to get responses about "if you weren't a liberal, I would like to have coffee or something." I always responded,"Wazamatter, you can't see us walking hand-in-hand in the park, yelling at each other over politics?"

I'm glad I'm not on those sites anymore -- because there are some real pieces of work and nut cases there -- but I did meet my Ladyfriend of 5 years who is also a Democrat. So, there you go.

"I'd like to wait for a couple of days before get together, 'cause 'tomorrow belongs to me'...".

To say yes, you'd "alt-right swipe".
