Amazon still selling merchandise for far-right groups with ‘a track record of violence’ https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article244597497.html

I am definitely going to catch flak for this, but I don't have a problem with Amazon selling extremist logo wear.

Patches, t-shirts, and hats aren't the problem. Extremists acting on their beliefs are.

Identifying violent extremists is a lot easier when they wear their tribal markings on their sleeves.

The public needs to see images like this.

You don't need a special patch or hat to know that a bunch of guys in Fred Perry shirts and dockers at a pro-Trump rally are the Proud Boys.

Take away his hat, and nothing changes.

Some groups don't need anything explicitly extremist to create their look. They co-opt mainstream stuff like Hawaiian shirts or Fred Perry.

Some groups do.

And it's all available on the internet whether Amazon sells it or not.

Scape-goating Amazon is fun, but I'm far more concerned about the fact that violent extremism has grown so big that it's adherents don't feel the near to mask their hate at all.
