anyone agree that organizing to kill Americans is ever a good idea? go fuck yourself, clean though
hard to anticipate what level of stupid these extremists WON'T sink to. Whatever they do or don't do, the Trump influence will be felt for years and some horrible mutant offspring of his cult will emerge with or without the republican party in my view.
organizing to kill any civilian population is obviously morally bankrupt, but there does come a point where force is required. Not against a general population, but against violent insurrectionists wherever they pop up.
I would rather they snapped out of it or better yet, learned something about why their country is in turmoil and actually contributed to bettering it. But that seems exceedingly unlikely.

It is close to a wash; many more Trumpers running amuck nowadays.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

The alt right are out there. They're angry, stupid, and they feel like victims because their white privilege is eroding. They will escalate. They can't be educated and they aren't going to suddenly become rational.
The best way to deal with them is to get them out in the open where we can identify and contain them.

I agree with that, but we will see how easy to contain they are.

Is it smart to reduce apps.... like Parlor being taken down; how to balance the reduction in the spewing of hate, with the identification of such?

Parler hasn't been taken down. I doubt it will be anytime soon.

Let me reword that, reducing its footprint; the balance of containment and identification as you suggested, might prove more difficult.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

It's not going to happen online. It can't. Online we have a bunch of personae. Many talk like real alt right, but they don't need containment. The ones that do are the ones out in the wild. That's where the identification process must occur.

Can anyone tell me how to access the site and join now? Every time I try to register it says "Sign up not available"
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Maybe you're not welcome on that site. 
According to the admins, they're having problems keeping up with the rapid influx of new users. They're scaling as fast as they can.
