It is a glaring example of fake consensus. They're hitting a soft target in the Daily Stormer & 8kun, but frankly the internet - and the world at large - is oozing with scum. The people who have decided they hate this particular wart are a tiny, vocal, powerful and very unlikable minority who are not representing the real emotions people feel here. Which is almost certainly tolerant indifference.

They're telling people how to think, not what is happening. People who do that are untrustworthy.

Is that indifference coming from a place of awareness, or a place of ignorance of the whole situation? If the content of these websites was brought to light - without any sort of commentary - do you seriously think the public would still look at these sites with indifference?

It depends on intention. And also: what is happening here that they aren't reporting?

Nazi-ism won an election and had lots of influential foreigners who supported it. Communism also had widespread support. "Popularism" is currently a dirty word because the plebs often vote for the wrong person.

I just went over to look at one of the sites in question. Even with those sorry facts in mind, I still think the Daily Stormer would get indifference. It isn't a very inspiring website and the content appears to be stupid. Their current feature article is "Women are So Ugly" which is unlikely to do well at sparking a ... whatever it is they are meant to spark. Can't go very far without women.
