This gives me hope knowing there are people out there stomping out these fake narratives. The only racism I’ve experienced in my life has been over the past ten years and always from left-leaning individuals.

#12Anti-racism sites are being knocked offline... and some people still think that white nationalists and nazi's are completely uninvolved in the street violence we've been seeing. Yeah right. This is Anonymous/4chan M.O., and it and "Antifa" are fake labels which white nationalists are using to cloak their violent plans.
Not just them, but also more recent stuff like the boogaloo movement[1].

Edit: RE: Antifa as a "fake label". This might be true in specific cases, but there's an actual anti-fascist movement happening as well.

I am happy that you have not experienced this kind of adversity in your personal life. There is no reason, however, why your personal experience should be generalised to the population/world.
>stomping out these fake narratives.
Why is it desirable to temporarily take some website down instead of presenting a strong and coherent counter argument.

#14We are really seing the chickens comming home to roost with regards to globalisation politics of the last few decades. When the wealth growth only happens in the top few percent this is inevitable.
This comment is wholly unclear. What's inevitable? Cyberattacks? Racism? Protests? Police violence?

Don't feed the trolls. This is coming from a ten minute old green account.

I’m willing to wager the number of websites about “BLM” disproportionately outnumbers those saying something like “ALM”.
It’s always one narrative, and it’s always on repeat.

Yes
Globalisation has many problems but _causes_ racism?
I would argue it's demagogues who take advantage of societal breakdown to inflame inherent racism.
More generally we also have a choice regardless of circumstances to not be racist. I can see how as a species we're not there yet though.

Why not arrest and interrogate the ones causing violence and find out if they’re white nationalist, antifa, or something else? It’s not like we’re forced to just spitball conspiracy theories here.

Sounds like this group is developing it self along the line of /r/thedonald.
Starts as a satire and slowly it shift to attracting more and more people with extremist views that replace the sarcastic group members.

In addition to green usernames, a pretty common tell is the "Latin"(-ish) username. The white supremacist segment of the population loves it some Rome.
It is by no means indicative, but over time, if you pay attention, you end up with a bunch of heuristics that can help you identify good-faith arguments versus malicious ones.
