We are forced to confront many things in the images that photographer Johnny Milano spent five years capturing. The ceremonial burning of a cross and a swastika in an open field. The silhouette of a child, a young and defenseless observer of hate, situated between the flaming structures. The Nazi symbol on shirt and skin. Some of the images look modern; others seem straight out of an earlier era. They represent a people striving to keep with tradition, while simultaneously looking to rebrand their beliefs and appeal to new followers. Membership spreads not simply through inheritance, but through outreach.

Taken together, Milano’s images make it impossible to deny that white supremacy is alive and well in this country. Powered by social media platforms, and encouraged by the rise of Trump-as-champion, America’s hate groups have emerged from the fringes with a newfound sense of respectability. In 2015 alone, the number of homegrown hate groups jumped by 14 percent—a proliferation unprecedented in recent times.

1. Appalling.

[VOX]

2. Truly detestable. Plus, a major (unintentional) irony alert:

Members of the National Socialist Movement kick back after a rally in rural Texas. The group aims to unite America’s white nationalists in a single movement. “They always attempt to silence us,” says Jeff Schoep, the organization’s leader. “But they always fail miserably. Thankfully, we still have freedom of speech here.”

How much freedom of speech do these sorry sods think they'd have if they actually held power? As it is, their buddy Trump is trying to shut out/shut down the press.

3. Seeing those photofraphs was like getting a punch in the gut.

4. ugh disgusting

Let's consider this fact (that the hate groups are unifying for the fascist cause)
and put aside our own petty differences- there are more of us than them, we can defeat them.

5. Absolutely horrifying!

I have no words.

6. I was laughing at these pictures.

Laughing because except for the gun, these people look absolutely ridiculous.

And in fact that's what bothers them the most, ignoring them and laughing at them.

7. Why are we seeing such a rise in Nazi imagery and white supremacy?

This is disturbing and revolting!
