ISIS also deplatformed itself with it's ultra-violent and gory videos.

The white supremacists got this right, but starting with mellower content, memes, and not throwing one in directly in the deep end. Look at this guy, he avoided swastikas because he knows they are a huge turn-off to non-radicalized people.

They’re also fairly pointless as a symbol if you’re trying to say anything but ‘look how edgy I am!’

Agreed, but I think they're saying they start with more innocuous symbols and messaging at the beginning of their ideological radicalization.
