Yeah. You know how that one quote about pornography where the judge says he knows it when he sees it? Same thing with these specials. I can’t quite articulate when these specials go into the propaganda/glamorizing territory but I know it when I see it.

And so it begins. 2017 is truly going to be atrocious, isn’t it?

I respectfully disagree. A lot of peope are unable to contextualize this type of information and exposure. Take the rise of trump and the alt right. People here saw his vulgarity for what it was, but the constant media exposure did draw people into the fold. I don’t think we should give racists any type of platform.

Good point. The KKK (or any white nationalist\supremecy group) can’t be taken out of context from the whole alt-right phenomena now. While each group or faction may have it’s own peculiar agenda, Trump’s rise has given them a big tent in which to gather. Too much focus on one group may give others more space to…

For those who like History, pre-war Germany and the ascension of Hitler are two fascinating topics. Strangely enough, I think some of the fascination has always stemmed from the absurdity of the whole scenario. Now all this is too close for comfort, and I agree with you, it’d be better to keep this TV exposure of this…

...but we need to *understand* them! /s

Well, if you see children as property of their father, he’s just doing what is within his rights. I’ll take this moment to remind everyone the US has yet to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child - we are the only UN member to fail to do so. We need to be better, US!

This may not have been A&E’s intention, however the show does give an additional platform to the KKK, which is a hate group.

II just feel like we are committing genocide not only against first Nations and indigenous peoples and people of color in the LGBT community, and womyn, but we are committing genocide against our own souls.

Related...There is and has been a disturbing trend of total fetishization of hitler everything. I swear there are multiple history related channels that might as well be called the hitler network. Yes their specials are titled THE MOST EVIL MAN IN HISTORY, but it’s still all hitler all the time in a way that can be…

The only KKK documentary I want to watch is the one that shows them all being rounded up, packed into titanium alloy drums filled with graphite-doped concrete, and dropped into the Mariana Trench.

Dumb and Dumber? Give it up. Those two aren’t going to do shit.

The Ruskies aren’t Commies anymore, they’re plutocrats. Fellow Travelers in greed. Plus, Putin hates gays and Muslims, so the GOP party and voters love him for that.

Today was the day I realized I was willing to forgive McCain and start thinking of him as a champion of my views in Congress. I like old style Republicans a lot more than the new ones, and I’m a Democrat.

How awful. So it worsens.

Wow. That Missoulian article has even more fucked up info on this.

not to go and be superficial or anything, but allow me to be superficial and knock whoever it was in the media that insisted this “man” has “prom king good looks” or whatever the hell was said about him. This dude is just another ugly ass right wing punchy face imo. Alt-ugly.

So the Montana government is gonna step in right? Like there gonna call for some people to investigate into this blatant call for violence? Or, at the very least, the Whitefish police will reach out to the Jewish community and let them know they are with them? Cause if none of that happens then we just need to pack up…

It was only a matter of time before the neo-Nazis embraced fascist tactics like this and sought reprisals. Trump’s been setting the tone. Why wouldn’t they think they can get away with it, when anti-Semitism no longer disqualifies people for high positions?

Give it time. From Federalist #59:
