Obviously, white supremacist militias and lone wolf maniacs are bad news; assuming we can all agree on that. But that doesn’t change the obvious that these self-hating, guilt-ridden, insufferably self-righteous, fist-waiving mostly lily-white milenials (wearing black and red neo-fascist-like uniforms, no less) are suffering from some kind of collective mental illness. Do they really believe this kind infantile grandstanding will defeat the Trumps of this world and truly make life better for “people of color” in this country? Just what does the African-American community really think about these overgrown children? “Oh great, nice white people are here to save us from our oppression” or “Oh no, not them again”? What will these clowns do with the rest of their lives when they get bored with playacting as “revolutionaries”? I’m guessing most them of them are out on the streets acting out there fantasies because they have no real jobs or careers; not their fault - it’s the “new economy” creating a lost generation. I mean, seriously, you must be kidding right?
