A new generation of American extremists is on the rise

quote [ "Before 2007 you would get between 10 to 15 members of the Klan or neo-Nazi groups showing up [at rallies]," Johnson explained. "The fact that they're drawing hundreds of people to these rallies is very concerning, because for every one of these individuals who shows up in public and engages in these hateful rants, there are ten others who are sitting at home not participating." ]

the figures stated in here are pretty astounding. While islamic terrorists have the higher body count (mainly because of 9-11), right extremists/terrorist groups have out performed the islamic in both attacks carried out and creation of new social media accounts.

Sometimes I fucking love NPR. Sometimes they let me down, but sometimes they are on point. From their headlining article on their website today:

"Alt-left" is a term seemingly invented for whataboutism, making liberals seem like the moral equivalents of the "alt-right," whose members coined that term themselves.
