    Lol, Mr. Nuance is Good jumping to the most insane conclusion possible while actively ignoring the direct words that answer “why wouldn’t you want to called them nationalists vs. supremacists”.

    The media sanitizes white supremacy, because calling it what it is causes unpleasant cognitive dissonance in Jane from the suburbs whose clean cut son watches the same “urban decay” news stories she does but doesn’t use the euphemisms to pretty it up. White supremacists are tattooed gang members, not her precious little boy. People have a baked in view about white supremacists being bad guys, but with a simple change of label they’re able to pretend this is a brand new thing. This whole thread is about how comfortable the media is with using “nationalist” vs. “supremacist” and it’s not because they think “nationalist” is a worse term that will shock the reader.

      Bro at this point I kinda doubt your ability to read and kinda assume at this point you’re having ai read it to you and write your response because I truly hope you aren’t actually this fucking dumb.

      I answered that question, I prefer it because it’s more descriptive. It’s saying why wouldn’t you describe mud as only dirt instead of wet dirt.

      Holy fucking shit. White nationalism is my fucking definition white supremacy the phrase simply adds a descriptor for detail. I you can’t possibly be this dumb, I refuse to believe it.

        Votes don’t matter in any sort of inherent sense of worth way. We’re both people who have and express opinions. But if I was getting universally downvoted for my opinion like you are, I think I’d take a moment of self-reflection before coming to the conclusion that everyone you interact with is an illiterate asshole.

        And seriously, if you’re going to jump to a “you’re dumb” insult, starting the comment off with “Bro” and following with misspellings and bad grammar isn’t really giving it the punch you imagine. But hey, maybe it really is everyone else who’s the problem in this conversation.
