Almost nobody shows up for nation-wide White Lives Matter rallies

Well, this is encouraging.

'White Lives Matter' rallies flop as hardly anyone shows up

The poor turnout underscores how the country's unpopular and disorganized extremist movements have been driven underground.

That’s right. Yesterday was supposed to be a big, Charlottesville style show of force by white racists...and hardly anyone came.

The “White Lives Matter” rallies, the first major real-world organizing efforts by white supremacists since 2018, were planned on the encrypted app Telegram after many aligned groups were alleged to have taken part in the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S Capitol.

The poor showing underscores how the country’s unpopular and disorganized extremist movements have been driven underground by increased scrutiny from the media, law enforcement agencies and far-left activists who infiltrate their private online spaces and disrupt their attempts to communicate and organize.

To be sure, some people came...but they were mainly anti-racism protesters, and they outnumbered the few racists/fascists who dared to show up.

So yeah...encouraging. Let’s just not forget that they haven’t disappeared, they’ve merely been driven back underground. If the past five years have taught us anything, it’s that they never go away.

I shall attempt to suppress an unseemly snigger.

They were worried about their own safety
