I don't know what to make of it. Has this always been here? Has it surged recently? I really don't know what to think.

I don’t know what slashdot is but thanks for the ad hom. Btw you’re not some kind of special person only because you have an account on HN.

I had the same interpretation as you but after rereading and looking at their comment history I think they are actually quoting you to concur with you, i.e. the white nationalists are the slashdot crowd

Yeah I was getting way too defensive in this thread. You're probably right and it's terrible the fascist threat makes me react totally unjust to fellow commenters meaning well.
