Hmmm... after having to go to a darkweb search engine to find their website (it wasn't listed on the "biggies"--I wonder why?), I read through their "tenets" section. Interestingly, it didn't mention the KKK or anything at all about white supremacy.
Here is what I found (I added my opinion to the side):
Minimal Government (Damn straight, I'm for that one)
Maximum Freedom (Check two: damn straight I'm even MORE for that one)
Anti-Political Correctness (Yep, 100% agree)
Anti-Drug War (I'm okay to this point)
Closed Borders (Hmm, well not completely on board here. Let's say "closed to illegal immigration"))
Anti-Racial Guilt (Agree 100%)
Anti-Racism (I'm not for coddling, but I am for not looking down on anyone for any skin color)
Pro-Free Speech (1st Amendment) (Yep. Check)
Pro-Gun Rights (2nd Amendment) (Still on board, check)
Glorifying the Entrepreneur (Agreed)
Venerating the Housewife (assuming the housewife wants to be there, yep)
Reinstating a Spirit of Western Chauvinism (mmmm, I don't like that word "chauvinism." If it had said western "civilization and culture," I'd have gone for that one.)
Ten out of twelve ain't bad. And you know, it's funny, but I just can't see how a tenet in the official website that specifically states "Anti-Racism" can be equated to or associated with the KKK.
Could someone explain that to me?
