Excellent article by my friend Stewart Bell, here.
For the past dozen years, the racist far-right has been fractured, without a prominent national leader or organization. But it has survived, and now it’s angry at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, emboldened by President Donald Trump and amplified by social media.
“Nowadays, they’ve jettisoned the Klansman’s robes and the Hitlerite uniforms for shirts and ties, and they’ve moderated their language,” said Warren Kinsella, who exposed the racist movement in his book Web of Hate and recently authored Recipe for Hate. “They learned that from David Duke. And starting in the mid-90s they embraced the Internet with a vengeance.”

How did polo shirts and khakis become the new uniform for white supremacists anyway?

Forget the term “white nationalist.” They don’t get to choose what we call them. It’s either neo-nazi, organized hate group, or internet dicks.
