Notes -
Are Nazis or neo-Nazis a problem in the United States, or is it just fear mongering?
I have trouble pointing out exactly what they're actually achieving, but also it does seem like they've been a lot louder recently. Is that only because the fear mongers are giving them more attention, or is it because they are more brazen and have higher numbers?
Are they only a problem if they actually get some sort of power, or cause some sort of harm? Or are they a problem for simply expressing that they want to cause harm? Is that what they're even expressing?
The only Nazis that are a problem in the United States are a fairly small number of gangs which use Nazi symbols, call themselves white supremacists, and otherwise engage mostly in typical criminal activities. These are not really any bigger of a problem than other criminal orgs, and in fact are all together probably much less of one than several explicitly non-white groups are individually.
The rest are just larpers that have trouble getting ten people into a room.
