The more I learn about the current epidemic of white supremacist groups, the clearer it becomes: we’re losing these people as children. Despair among our youth breeds vulnerability to ideological capture by psychotic forces. If our love doesn’t claim them, hate will.

We also need to go back to focusing on excellent public school education for ALL children. Free through BA degree/comparable trade schools. Free Advanced studies with good grades.

No, we need to end capitalism, harm reduction and wealth redistribution in the mean time is great, but "capitalism plus" is some dumb shit, and so is Maher

You're better than this Marianne. I saw you in the debates. You allow your heart to open. All you have to do is open your heart to the other side. You dehumanize you opponents to make it easy to put them in a simple box with a simple explanation.

A study of the home-life of new militia members could conclusively settle the evidence behind such theories. Gangs stepping in.

Half of Americans are basically poor while the corporations & war machine makes bank nonstop for decades. Hell they don't even pay taxes a lot of the time. Right wing radicalization has been ongoing in recent decades. Demagogues like Trump often rise in these conditions.

They are learning it at home. It trickles down from generation to generation. We've seen it with some of our own relatives. They live in their white bubbles with no diversity, no contact with humans different than themselves (by choice).

Yes @marwilliamson. What Mexico did when young kids were being deported from the US some years ago (despite), they opened centers for them, fed them, gave them a small amount of money & arranged the area so that they could study and readapt. @JoeBiden: US can do much better!

Totally agree. What are you reading recently that points toward the education / indoctrination aspect of this soul-virus?
