Heya you spooked peeps. Thought I'd stop by and give my two cents as I literally live right up the road from Charlottesville here in the Appalachian Mountains. Funny enough, many of my fellow statesmen will sort of awkwardly laugh and say things like "Hey, Virginia is in the news!".

Anyway it seems that what happened in the town is a perfect example on how not to legitimize hate groups and boost their numbers. The dirtbags got their permit ahead of time through legal means and had every right to assemble. That's how its always been. In the past, when say, a KKK group got some permit to talk about how "The blacks are ruining this country!" they'd get up on there soap box, start yellin, and everyone would ignore them. Occasionally a crowd might form, but they'd be there to laugh at them and their silly pajamas or counter protest peacefully. The news wouldn't even mention them, and if they did, its probably cause one the members messed up in a funny way or something. It's how we very democratically decided who's bullshit was worth listening too, and who's bullshit was just bullshit. 

However, what happened in Charlottesville is how you suddenly give people a reason to think that the crazy might be true. It casts doubt on the current views if they actively try to suppress competing views, as why would they have to if they are right? If they're trying to silence that group, then maybe there is something to what they're saying? So on and so forth. It is just as much as some white nationalist to say is BS as it is for us to ignore them. Of course, in today's PC political culture, that's not the case, and the white nationalists knew it. Groups like BLM or Anti-FA are so easily instigated that all they had to do was show up. Hell, a majority of the participants aren't even from Charlottesville or Virginia! They came from New York and Tennessee. 

And at the end of the day, both groups got exactly what they wanted. More fuel for the fire. More young people like me convinced and radicalized. So I am worried and I'm disappointed in my governor for only condemning the racists, because it shows not a firm belief in the law, but a firm belief in loose trends. 

Plus it makes my grocery shopping that much more difficult, and Walmart is a enough of a pain in the ass without having to dodge retarded political riots.
