It's a known fact on the Internet the far right can't shut up. They spew their filth as if others want to hear it. It's not about free speech when you log on to one thing why would you want abhorrent rightism bombarding you. More and more companies and websites ban white supremacists. Here is another example.

They are free to do it, though it doesn't mean they aren't dangerously wrong when they say support for Trump is support for white supremacy.

Wrong website. Most people on this site understand the First Amendment doesn't grant one free speech in private forums and organizations - it's a protection of speech from the government smacking you down.

I've actually known a few younger women that knit.

Though come to think of it...they were all hispanic.

EDIT: When I say younger I don't mean younger than me, I mean around my age, but younger than elderly.

Thinking it was a fair or little festival i drove by to check it out. It turned out to be a yarn store having a sale. There was a line out the door, down the street and around the corner along with dozens of people just hanging around the parking lot and sidewalk just waiting to buy yarn.

I thought it was very strange

Last week I walked past a shop which sells sewig machines.

I did a double take when I saw the shop sign

I looked and looked at the display window the ground floor of the building ... half of it was sewing machines .... garnished with yarn and with rolls of fabric and patterns.

And then I got it.

See if you can too.

Do you think there is an increasing trend in people being just unable or unwilling to properly identify white supremacy, and lumping innocent people in with it?
