We have the same in the UK with anarchists turning up at any protest march trying to cause trouble.
It's actually the complete opposite. He clearly DISAGREES with neoConfederates, and I don't know what your alluding to when you say racist fantasies of war crimes, but it strikes me as hyperbolic to the point of not even warranting much of a response.
It's not false equivalency. Literally all you need to do is use your eyes to see that.
Which is literally one of the most spasticated things that idiot fucking Welsh mongoloid has ever said. YAY! OFFENSIVE BINGO!
There's a myth that General Pershing soaked 50 bullets in pigs blood and shot 49 Phillipino Muslim Terrorist captives (early 20thC), then released the 50th and told him to go back and tell his Bro's what to expect if they continued. Trump has quoted this debunked myth a few times to support his anti-Islam stance of how to proceed.

Violent and aggressive behaviour should be condemned to history. What ever your views and beliefs we all know fear, pain and suffering. How about some empathy for your fellow man.
I think a more productive endeavour would be to explore what leads people into extremism. In my view its roots are in fear, anxiety and ignorance. As a result of the rise of Neo liberalism and the unchecked grip of global capitalism we have a society that focuses on the individual and necessity of competition. The socio economic conditions of today are a breeding ground for hate. The charade that is democracy in the west has long since been revealed. As a result people are scared, angry and looking for scapegoats.
What we should actually be enraged by is the gross misappropriation of wealth, resources and power. More collective and inclusive societies/communities that encourage responsibility and reward contribution are more likely to produce tolerance, empathy and general wellbeing.
Or maybe I should open another beer.
Social communes have been a source of experimental evidence on social dynamics for decades. The outlook is grim. What you tend to see is lack of co-operation and more of a crab bucket mentality where the strongest most dominant people rule over the rest.
They don't produce tolerance or empathy. They produce violence.
We are hardwired for survival, and thus competition it seems.
But hope springs eternal right? I spend my working life waist deep in human misery so I have to be optimistic about the possibilities of our evolution.
I choose to believe that a more collective, humanitarian world culture will eventually prevail - and that the current descent into hatred, bigotry, elitism and unsustainable environmental abuse is just a necessary step on the road to spiritual enlightenment.
Or maybe I should open another beer.
(Btw Drew did you come up with crab bucket mentality? F*cking genius that. I am totally having it)
I know lots of English that live in Spain, been there for more than 10 years..
they've created their own English only community
they don't integrate much with the Spanish and don't speak the language
it's no different to any other type of isolated community in any other country
like Latino communities in the US, Asian communities in Europe
and likewise, the nationals of the host country don't like it and react against them..
personally I don't think it's good to behave like this, but's as if it's a perfectly natural thing to do
