- White supremacist incidents are on the rise across the US, with over 750 such incidents occurring since 2020, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
- The majority of these incidents have taken place in the last 18 months, with a 63% increase in 2023 compared to 2022.
- Experts attribute this trend to changing demographics, political turmoil, and social catalysts, which have created an environment that fuels hate groups.
- Small groups of masked men are chanting and waving swastika or white power flags in public, yelling racial slurs, and unfurling offensive banners over highways or posting racist fliers in communities.
- The normalization of hate in public and political discourse is creating an environment that fuels these groups, with many using social media to generate video clips and recruit new members.
- The growth in flash demonstrations can also be attributed to smaller groups opting to mount individual actions instead of coordinating with larger organizations.
The ADL is a hate group though.
Hate groups can also do honest statistics.
