“White men form an advocacy group? Clearly they must be Nazis.”

Oh, sorry. Would White Supremacists be a more palatable term? I mean, personally, I’m happy with either – though, at a pinch, Nazis would seem to be the most appropriate term to describe a menacing horde of vacant eyed, torch-wielding, swastika-wearing, gun-toting human detritus chanting actual honest-to-gosh authentic Nazi slogans, like “Sieg Heil” and “blood and soil” interspersed with plain-as-the-nose-on-your-face anti-semitic rhetoric like “Jews will not replace us”. And all in a culture where synagogue burning. Holocaust denying, and the desecration of Jewish graves are on the rise worldwide. Not that any of that would be Nazi-inspired behaviour, no siree.

You are, of course free to call me pedantic as I am to liken you to the rear end of a pantomime horse.
