This might be the biggest problem we face as a society. Thank goodness we have antifa to protect us.

Good for the young man confronting the #######. However, I agree. To hear the MSM, skinheads, the Klan and the alt right are around every corner. They aren't.

Never seen one myself either, but ClemsonRangers® is probably right - it's a liberal faking being a nazi.
Let's look at several litmus tests for Nazi-ism:
- Overwhelming one-sided information warfare/propaganda - check
- Making everyone think they are a victim of the oppressors - check
- Calling for unity, but only under their conditions - check
- Suggesting the need for fundamental transformation by promising it - check
- Injecting more government control at every turn - check
So Nazi's are everywhere - it's called the liberal progressive movement.

Here's an actual list of 14 features that characterize fascism. It is a summary from Umberto Eco's 1995 essay "Ur-Fascism":
The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”
The cult of action for action’s sake. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.”
Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”
Appeal to social frustration. “One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.”
The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”
The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.”
Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”
Everybody is educated to become a hero. “In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.”
Machismo and weaponry. “Machismo implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality.”
Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”
Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”

WOW !! This is a story of one guy standing up to a Nazi spreading swastikas around his town and only one person here had the decency to applaud the guy - or condemn the Nazi. Amazing.
I am not as concerned about the number of Nazis as I am the mere fact that ANY Americans can adhere to such an ignorant & dangerous ideology.
This poll indicates that 9% of Americans support neo-Nazi views - that's 22 million. That seems outrageous to me - and plenty to be concerned about - especially given the apathy exhibited here.
Anyway, thumbs up to this young man for actually standing up for human dignity and equality.

When someone posts about white supremacists/neo Nazis in America, there's this weird sudden rush of a lot of the same people who seem triggered that someone pointed out it out? Like rushing to claim that there aren't that many of them, really, or that it's probably some liberal faking it, or that "OMG the left is worse than the neo Nazis!!1!"
A bit of the ladies protesting too much.
You'd think everyone would just agree that Nazis suck and move on.
