This has nothing to do with so called "Libs".
So let's not politicize what the news is.
Facts are facts.
Of course no one can assign an exact "specific number" to how many more "individuals" there were than last year or the year before that.
Acts of hate, and hate crimes are measured by the number of incidents that occur year over year.
And incidents are on the rise, as are the number of active hate groups that are currently in existence.
You have access to a computer, so google it.
Anti-Semitic Incidents Fuel 17% Rise in Hate Crimes, FBI Says
Actually counting numbers of people is something people do all the time.
And if libs are going to make a claim like "white supremacy is on the rise", then they should be able to back it up.
A rise in hate crimes does not support that claim. Especially as it is driven primarily by a rise in antisemitic violence, which is just as likely to be left based or from Muslim or other minority (not right) actors.
If you lefties can't support your panic mongering, then you should not be dong it.
Indeed, as you admit you can't back it up, and on page 14 no one has even tried,
Let's just consider this stupid claim refuted.
No. The only thing that is stupid is denial of the dact that "incidents" involving acts of hate by people who lean towards "white supremacist" ideology actilually not happening.
I don't know if you've been in a coma or living under a rock.
Obviously, American society has gone through a process of evolution that has driven white supremacist beliefs underground. But the beliefs never went away, they have just quietly continued to exist becaise of a more politically correct society,.
On the surface.
So yes, people are in fact "counted" for the sake of measuring population growth or decline.
But you know good and well that there are no head counts of individual white supremacists taken, simply because of the fact that it is more prudent for your cause to fly under the radar in terns of your actual numbers, which makes it far easier to stay in existence, however, the rise of ACTIONS that support the "beliefs" are obviously there.
This has nothing to do with so called liberals, or those on the left or the extreme right.
Anyone who is awake knows that.
The one source you sited as support on number of actions, just counted antisemitic actions, with no breakdown between right and left, white supremacists or muslim.
It could just as easily be fueled by a rise in Muslim immigration, or far lefties responding to Trump's moving of the US embassy.
The SPLC, an organization known for counting non-white supremacists as white supremacists, last time I looked had the number of white supremacist in this country AT MOST, at 8,000.
So, the real number is probably much lower.
Page 17 and no one has even tried to post a bigger number.
The claim to a "rise" in White Supremacy has not been supported at all.
None of you lefties, with all your motivation to support this bs, has been able to come up with ANYTHING.
Your word play and use of playground semantics does not change the fact that ACTIONS which support white supremacist beliefs are in fact on the rise.
So stop wasting time by asking for something that will remain an obscure number. For good reason.
Do you actually believe that if a "census" was proposed to physically count the actual numbers of avowed white supremacists that those who fit the description would openly partcipate?
Its more to the advantage of those of you who share those beliefs, to quietly express them.
Amongst each other.
But the obvious increase in anonymous, planned and random acts supporting such beliefs are on the rise and denial does not change that fact.
The actions you sited, are not specific to White Supremacist. Antisemitism is found across political and racial lines. There are plenty of lefty and/or nonwhite antisemities in the nation.
I recognize the difficulty of counting white supremacists.
But counting groups that don't want to be counted is done all the time, such as numbers of gang members.
I've often looked for how many white supremacist there are in the US.
The only number I've found is the SPLC, who is not reliable, at 8k, with no hint of how they got that number.
You're the one claiming it is rising, and you can't support your claim.
I stated that ACTIONS which reflect a white supremacist ideology are on the rise. You are futilely attempting to alter what I stated. Furthermore there are SOME white supremacists who view Jews as non white.
So they are are impacted by those very same actions as well.
