    American nationalists

    Name themselves after a famous French historical figure

    I get that your country barely has a history (/s), but come on !

      Without looking on their Wikipedia page, I’m guessing the name is intentionally vague to anyone who isn’t as familiar with French people but the name would mean something to someone who is racist/white nationalist.

      I’ve learned that most of the insidious groups are named really innocently.

      It’s almost as if they need to hide their agenda so that people don’t hate them.
