Dozens of members of the neo-fascist, white nationalist group Patriot Front marched through the streets of Austin Saturday. The group did not announce the demonstration in advance, leaving no time for opposition groups to mount a counter-protest. It was the largest public gathering of the group’s members since they held a similar march in Washington, D.C., on May 13.

    I think response needs to be exceedingly lopsided. Either nobody pays attention to it, or a counter protest group of significantly larger size shows up.

      If they’re protesting a specific place or event, yes, show up in force to show solidarity. If they’re just out there randomly walking the street like this, thinking people will feel intimidated, ignore that shit
