content: I think basically every successful couter-protest of the KKK involved people peacefully mocking them. They billed themselves as a cabal of proud white men defending their homeland, and then people started to point out that they're just faggots dressed like ghosts, and the tide started to roll back. You know what fascists thrive on? A persecution complex. They have to seem like the ones being beaten and suppressed. They have to sell the idea of strength in numbers and lack of individuality, and the best way to do that is to use violence against them so that they actually are unsafe when alone or in small numbers. The irony of this whole situation is that people who supported enlightenment ideas (presumably) used fascist means to stop fascists, who were using enlightenment means to support fascist ideas.
