    You aren't looking closely enough. One guy is a beardless-American, and two guys are capfree-Americans.

    Summer rallies in Charlottesville[edit]
    On May 13, 2017, white supremacist Richard Spencer led a rally in Charlottesville to protest the city's plans to remove the statue of Lee. The event involved protesters holding torches near the statue. That same night, a candlelight counterprotest took place.[49]

    The Ku Klux Klan held another rally in Charlottesville on July 8.[50] About 50 Klan members and 1,000 counterprotesters gathered at a loud but nonviolent rally.[51] David Duke, the former KKK grand wizard, spoke calling the demonstrations a "turning point" saying, "We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back."[52] In opposition to the rally, the Charlottesville Clergy Collective created a safe space at First United Methodist Church, which was used by over 600 people.[50]

    Protesters[edit]

    Among the far-right groups engaged in organizing the march were the Stormer Book Clubs (SBCs) of the neo-Nazi news website The Daily Stormer,[53] The Right Stuff,[54]the National Policy Institute,[55] and four groups that form the Nationalist Front:[51] the neo-Confederate League of the South and Identity Dixie,[51] the neo-Nazi groups Traditionalist Worker Party,[56][57] Vanguard America,[56] and the National Socialist Movement.[51] Other groups involved in the rally were the Ku Klux Klan (specifically the Loyal White Knights and the Confederate White Knights branches),[58][21] the Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights,[56] the American Identitarian group Identity Evropa,[59] the Southern California-based fight club Rise Above Movement,[60][61] the American Guard,[19] the Detroit Right Wings – misappropriating the name of the Detroit Red Wings NHL team, which usage was condemned by the team,[62][63] True Cascadia,[64]the Canada-based ARM (Alt-Right Montreal) and Hammer Brothers,[65] and Anti-Communist Action.[19]

    Prominent far-right figures in attendance included National Policy Institute Chairman and white supremacist Richard Spencer,[66]entertainer and internet troll Baked Alaska,[66] former Libertarian Party candidate Augustus Invictus,[67] former Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard David Duke,[68] Identity Evropa leader Nathan Damigo,[69] Traditionalist Workers Party leader Matthew Heimbach,[66] Right Stuff founder Mike Enoch,[66] Eric Striker of The Daily Stormer,[70] League of the South founder and leader Michael Hill,[9] Red Ice host and founder Henrik Palmgren,[71] The Rebel Media commentator Faith Goldy,[72] Right Side Broadcasting Network host Nick Fuentes,[73] YouTube personality James Allsup,[73] AltRight.com editor Daniel Friberg,[74]former Business Insider CTO Pax Dickinson,[75] Right Stuff blogger Johnny Monoxide,[76] Daily Stormer writers Robert "Azzmador" Ray and Gabriel "Zeiger" Sohier-Chaput,[77] Daily Caller contributor and rally organizer Jason Kessler,[78] and Radical Agenda host Christopher Cantwell.[79][80] Gavin McInnes, the leader of the self-described "Western chauvinist" Proud Boys was invited to attend but declined because of an unwillingness "to be associated with explicit neo-Nazis" although the militia wing of the group the aforementioned Fraternal Order of the Alt-Knights did attend.[20] In June, ahead of the rally, McInnes declared that "we need to distance ourselves from them", but "after backlash to the original disavowal flared-up from Alt-Right circles, the statement was withdrawn and replaced with another distancing the Proud Boys from the event yet also encouraging those who 'feel compelled' to attend".[81]

    Airbnb cancelled a number of bookings and accounts when it learned that they were being used by attendees at the rally, citing a request that users endorse a commitment to "accept people regardless of their race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age".[82]

    Militias[edit]
    Numerous armed, right-wing militia groups were present at the rally, claiming to be there to protect the First Amendment rights of the demonstrators. Groups involved included the Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia,[83] the New York Light Foot Militia,[84] the Virginia Minutemen Militia,[85] and the 3 Percenters.[86]

    I'm sure there was a rise but the rise has accelerated under Trump. It has now reached a proportion where the FBI considers it to be our main problem.

    Everyone with half a brain knows these assholes are nazis. They're being smart by not being so blatant about it in public (sans the obvious white power hand signs). No one said they're dumb. They're just evil. And manipulative. And real life trolls. It's ok to punch them and fight them if they invade our city. WWII said so.

    WWII also said it was perfectly fine to lock up anyone who looks like our enemy.

    100%. People either don’t have that half a brain and/or are supportive of the white nationalists. I just would like people to just admit their racism. If it’s something you believe in you shouldn’t be ashamed of it.

    Certainly not on board with that. Doesn't really take away from the original point though. Nazis = bad.
