On the Daily Dot:
The Facebook pages of Richard Spencer, the alt-right leader who was famously punched in the face last year, have been suspended.
The pages for the National Policy Institute, a lobbying group of sorts for white nationalists, and Spencer's online magazine "altright.com," vanished on Friday after Vice sent the social network an inquiry about hate groups. They had a combined following of almost 15,000 followers.
The action was taken just days after Mark Zuckerberg emphasized during his testimony before Congress that Facebook does not allow hate speech. But it wasn't until Vice flagged the accounts that Facebook suspended them. The social network said in a statement that it identifies violating pages using human monitors, algorithms, and partnerships with organizations.

For certain values of "stupid", that may be true. On the other hand, a white supremacy regime in Europe did a damned good job of fucking up half the world when it threw a temper tantrum. If those people were so stupid, why did it take all of the rest of the world's power to stop them, and a couple of allies? It would seem that those Nazis were pretty damned intelligent, to have done so well, up until they fucked up with Barbarosa. You may or may not argue that Hitler was insane - but not even insanity negates a high intelligence. The bastard was crazy, AND smart, not to mention cunning and charismatic. That was a very, very VERY dangerous combination. Had Hitler not began losing touch with reality, he may very well have overrun Europe and it's allies.
It really isn't necessary to display your ignorance here. Politics, prejudice, racism, religion, and similar traits are no more an indicator of intelligence than height, or hair color, or the language you speak.
