This is apparently completely genuine. Seriously

no, I think we're safe for the time being.
I condemn violence against human beings and property. I think protestors who don't are in danger of losing the moral ground. But civil disobedience in pursuit of a moral good should be fine.
Ugh! Seriously disturbing viewing and it just shows how social media, especially Facebook, can be used to help manipulate and target millions of voters. I think it also means we can finally put to rest the who is to blame for Trump's win question. It's Mark Zuckerberg!
He is stuck between the two sides of the right. The right is divided between its establishment and its more extreme groups. He needs the former as it holds political power that he needs but the latter forms a big part of his support and more importantly, shares the same love for the Anti PC, "just saying as it is" movement. He doesn't want to lose them and his staff keep trying to steer him towards the traditional establishment. Something will have to give sooner or later.Even though the man called Mexicans all sorts of things and couldn't go 2min without talking about how Muslims would blow up America unless the travel ban was put in place I still feel as this is the moment where he truly laid out all his cards on the table. Before he could point to for example the gang violence and drug import in the US and the ISIS attacks in Europe and go, 'this is why we need the wall and the travel ban', and while all of it was very transparent he could still get away with it.
But now he has not once, but twice showed where he truly stands by defending those Nazi cnuts, and there is no poor excuse to hide behind anymore. Thankfully he seems to be getting more criticism for this than ever before and hopefully more senators and other officials will be lining up to say that he's way out of line.
I can't for the life of me understand where he's going with this and what he's trying to do though.
Sorry, what exactly is the problem with this?
There's nothing wrong with the video (I didn't say there was) It's just some valuable insight in to how groups of voters were targeted with selective adverts right down to certain colours being picked. It also shows how powerful social media, especially Facebook, was in getting Trump elected, and how it's going to continue being in the future. So whilst the video itself is informative, it's quite scary because of how powerful the tool is and how it's being used.
Trump's core base is found on Facebook, the reason his numbers stay steady around 34% is because many of them follow him on Facebook and get their news and information from Facebook. If you want to know what the problem is there, go and check it for yourself, but be warned, it's not pretty.
Well true, but surely bringing down confederate monuments by vigilante mobs is probably not the best course of action here
I don't get what is so disturbing about it,
There are currently more slaves in the world than at any point in history. And I don't mean wage slaves, I mean people kept as if owned by another.
Slavery by native Indians? That's a new one.
Probably bs.

But you also give the bullshit an audience, even multiply its reach via retweeting, quoting, blogging it. I'm rather convinced that containment is the best way to deal with bullshit, you can't reason with the bullshitters anyways.Why? You need to call bullshit out as bullshit.
It's because Nazis were a white people problem.Even though the man called Mexicans all sorts of things and couldn't go 2min without talking about how Muslims would blow up America unless the travel ban was put in place I still feel as this is the moment where he truly laid out all his cards on the table. Before he could point to for example the gang violence and drug import in the US and the ISIS attacks in Europe and go, 'this is why we need the wall and the travel ban', and while all of it was very transparent he could still get away with it.

100%. Anyone that is a self-professed neo-Nazi, white supremacist etc. is a wankstain of the highest order. A gathering which has that as the majority group should be vilified in the strongest possible manner.
Trump is also a racist, bigoted, corrupt, ignorant knobend who no doubt sympathises with them and may well support their cause. However, I do think he has a small point worth making,j and it's the one she's taking issue with. He's making it for all the wrong reasons, and he's right to be called out on it, but I think it's important to use words carefully and I don't think she did.
To say that all Neo-nazis are bad people is true, in my perspective. However, the idea that every person in that rally is a Neo-nazi and/or a bad person by default is erroneous. Some people are not firmly on one side or the other and get caught up in a movement for reasons they don't understand, but certainly don't qualify as them being a supporter of the core ideology inspiring it.
To me this is a beautiful video:
Is he a bad person when he considers joining the movement? Is he a good person when he's forced to confront the issues in it and he repudiates it? I'm of the viewpoint that things are not black and white in either case. I also take the view that a black and white perspective, with a careless attitude to the facts and an inflammatory communication style is part of the problem. There's some evidence to support that too.
"Nobody knows Nazis better than me."

“I took all the furniture out,” he said, pointing. “I put Scavino here—the Twitter guy.” He was referring to Dan Scavino, a former Trump golf caddy who directs social media for Trump
