I spent several hours trying to come up with a catchier headline, but couldn't:

Neo-Nazi Website Tells Fat U.S. Nazis to ‘Get it Together,’ Offers Fashion Tips

I'm sure der führer would approve.

Hands down, my favorite post of the day.

I thought this was an appropriate thread for "Today's Nazi" type things, so:

Alt-Righter became viral face of hate in Virginia—and now regrets it

You have to read the nonsense that came out of this boy's mouth for yourselves.

I think you're onto something with your "Today's Nazi" idea, George. I envision a glossy monthly offering fashion advice, sensitive in depth human interest stories...maybe even a Nazi of the Month pictorial.

Gotta go with the times.

Thanks very much, but if we're going with the times, it might need to be "Nazi of the Week."

The same outfit that shat all over Charlottesville this weekend is planning another gathering at Texas A&M in a couple of weeks. They seem to think they'll be more welcome there. If so, I think they are in for a surprise.

[Edit for thread relevance] I wonder how many of them will be wearing shorts but still expecting to be taken seriously.

That's grim.

It's tempting to suggest a show of force, and even an implied threat, but all of that will just play into their hands. Extremists thrive on extreme reactions. All that reasonable people can reasonably do, I guess, is to protest using passive resistance, and hopefully overwhelmingly greater numbers.
