US Senate backs resolution against white nationalists

The US Senate has approved a resolution condemning white supremacists, neo-Nazis and other hate groups following a white supremacist rally in Virginia that descended into deadly violence.

During the rally, a man with links to a white supremacist group rammed his car into a crowd of anti-racist protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

Monday's resolution, which passed with unanimous support, describes the killing as a "domestic terrorist attack".

It also urges President Donald Trump and his administration to speak out against hate groups that espouse racism, "extremism", xenophobia, anti-Semitism and white supremacy.

The resolution calls on the justice department and other federal agencies to "use all resources available" to improve data collection on hate crimes and "address the growing prevalence of those hate groups in the United States".

You're talking her of extreme nationalism. Unfortunately, more moderate forms of nationalism are very much alive and well.

So where does the intense nationalism stop?
your state, your province, your county, your town, your street, your home?

They, the neocons and neolibs, say its about this. But its real about economic nationalism.. and the entrenchment of free trade and open borders, which is the lynchpin of their politics.

They smear its opponents with all forms of bigotry, racism, xenophobia. They are fighting a losing cause. Globalism, mulitculturalism, free markets are imploding by way of their own failure.. and the economic desperation and cultural disintegration they are foisting on the West.

Nationalism and populism are in the ascendency because they offer the only viable alternative.

The article mentions "white nationalism" this should not be confused with simple nationalism.
If we celebrate Canadas next birthday we could be accused of maple nationalism. That's a flavour as opposed to a colour. Clearly still discriminatory though.

Nationalism, patriotism and allegiance to a flag are all mindless acceptance of slavery to a concept that is meaningless.

You shouldn't confuse nationalism with patriotism though. They are two very different things.

Yet that state sends you a check once a month and provides helicopter trips to the hospital .
