It is telling that the top most comment in reaction to an article about right-wing harassment and doxing campaign is about how the maligned the poor majority is.

Conservative Americans openly advocate for white supremacists but somehow want to escape the label of 'racist'. Since the trouble is having discussions openly, the first step would be to first fully embrace our own positions. It would be far more helpful for the discussion if all these 'what about white men?' types just get the courage of their convictions.

Conservatives aren't the majority in SV.

And one thing we certainly don't need is more people expressing the "courage of their convictions" with remarks like "kill all men" or "acts of courage" like the shootings at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park.

Yes, if someone is conservative and is also openly advocating for white supremacy and also wants to escape the label of racist and also is saying 'what about white men?' they should do so openly.

Not all conservatives are advocating this, not all of those who do want to escape that label, and not all of those who are both talk about what about white men.

If you are all of those things, you are an extreme minority, one that I doubt is present in this discussion.
