The "alt-right" - what a bunch of whiney phoneis

One thing that struck me with these unhooded KKK and pseudo-nazis is that they don't really believe in their "ideals" - if they were they'd accept that they might die for them, lose their jobs, and put harm to their families because they're "standing up for what they believe".

My Father was a WWII Partisan - he left his home in the 1930s, two of his brothers (my Uncles) were assassinated for their efforts, the rest of the family was sent to Siberia where they survived 10+ years of hard labor. Having done some google research, I found that one of my Uncles was going to be posthumously honored at Yad Vashem for his acts prior to his execution.

Look at Martin Luther King Jr, Muhammad Ali, even the signers of the Declaration -- they believed and were willing to risk it all.

These pieces of crap marching are only playing and a potentially deadly game at that.
