Does this really need to be reported on every year? These people, who are often part of organised hate groups, target this and other events with the sole purpose of making it into news headlines and getting their actions spread all over social media where they and their allies overseas can shape the discussion. It achieves nothing other than helping them to recruit and grow.
Yeah it does. We can’t just sweep this Nazi shit under the rug. Every time we see it we need to point it out and say it’s unacceptable. These kind of assholes believe that if you’re not speaking out against them it’s because you agree with them and are just afraid to be a Nazi out loud.
I do agree, but I also believe that journalists need to be careful in how they do it, because these groups intentionally play to the media as a form of advertisement, legitimisation and image sanitisation, as per their own leaked guides.
