An article at vice.com reports The Number of U.S. Hate Groups Keeps Surging, Largely Thanks to Young, White men:
The number of hate groups nationwide reached a record high in 2018, driven partly by the persistent growth of white nationalist groups catering to young, college-aged men.
There are currently 1,020 active hate groups in America — up from 954 in 2017, and 917 the previous year, according to an annual tally by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The new, young face of hate emerged from the shadows during the 2016 election and organized through a shared language of memes and under the banner of the “alt-right.” Many hailed then-candidate Donald Trump, with his hard-line views on immigration, as a hero. In celebration of his election, the alt-right’s one-time de facto leader Richard Spencer led a room full of young men in suits to give Nazi salutes.
Since then, Spencer and other prominent actors, entangled in costly lawsuits and tired of being heckled by anti-fascist protesters, have faded into relative obscurity.
At the same time, groups like Identity Evropa — whose khaki-clad members were a formidable presence at the violent “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017— have proliferated and expanded their reach by setting up new chapters across the country. Patriot Front also grew significantly in 2018 after splintering from Vanguard America, the group linked to the 19-year-old neo-Nazi who rammed his car into a crowd of protesters during the Charlottesville rally and killed Heather Heyer.

You'll admit that a lying whore can be raped?

Oh, absolutely. See, there's this fourth dimension to existence called "time," and the funny thing about time is that it allows space and matter to change their configuration. So someone may be raped at one point in time, and at another point, be a lying whore. They're not mutually exclusive. No one lies all the time.
Not even you.
But boy, do you ever reveal more about yourself with your posts than you intend to. I feel sorry for your wife and hope like hell you have no daughters.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

No, no daughters in this lifetime. But I'm putting my request in with the karma police for next lifetime. You'll be my daughter next time around!!

That's fine :) Just wait till you see what you're gonna reincarnate as.
Though in all seriousness, no I won't, because a) with any luck this is the last time I need to get fleshy and b) you're...not exactly on the fast track to reincarnation yourself, but for kind of the opposite reasons.
