As vile as Neo-Nazi's, white supremacists and their ilk are..it stands to reason most people want to find a solution, want to make it go away and essentially fix this problem. Considering this, it's important to look to the right answers or we risk simply creating more and possible worse problems in the future. This means the idea of taking matters into our own hands outside the law is the wrong way about it and can lead to its own form of fascism.

This idea is argued in "The Myth of the American Superhero" where they look at pop culture figures as examples, but raise an important idea: "...taking the law into their own hands, these unelected figures assume total power to rid the community of its enemies, thus comprising a distinctively American form of pop fascism."

As we have a terrible problem standing before us(racism, violence etc..), it's important to look to the right answers or we risk simply creating more and possible worse ones in the future. Let's work to fix this, yes..Amen yes...but let's do it right.
