How would we know? Maybe because it didn't work in the past? And, when did that happen? Read a little history. smh Support your assertions. smh Let's go the other way. Can you show us anything that demonstrates that ignoring them causes them to go away? For example - Have you read the history of the KKK? Do you know why chapters form? And why they dissolve? How many times has a group of less than 10 KKK guys, in white hats and robes, applied for a permit, gone to town to protest, been met with a police presence as large or larger than their own, and been ignored? Happens sometimes, right? And sometimes, people show up to stand on the other side of the street. What helps the KKK grow, from those experiences? Do they get more members? Do they dissolve that chapter because membership keeps declining? The answers to all of these questions is out there for the finding. If you want to know, go look it up. When they are small, it seems to me what works is: 1. Threats of public ridicule and humiliation. Many like to hide behind a mask. 2. Threats of arrest in connection with a crime committed by one of their members. 3. Massive public resistance without violence of any kind. Ignoring them tends to make them think they have tacit approval to keep on doing what they are doing. If you read their lit, or listen to a few, you find out they believe their racist bigotry is quietly the norm all over America but we the white people lack the courage to step up and step out, and they are going to help us. Speaking of their lit -- ever read the KKK, Nazi, and John Burch crap? A lot of people know they are against nazis and whatever labels itself "the alt right", but can't recite the 14 or 88 words.
