Internet personalities Baked Alaska and Millennial Matt had a lot of fun at this past weekends white supremacist rallies.
Well, until Baked Alaskawas maced, I guess.
They used tools like Twitter and YouTube to bring their online followers into the heart of the racist action.
But curiously, the two still insist that theyre not neo-Nazis.
So what the hell is a neo-Nazi?
It left one woman, 32-year-old Heather Heyer, dead and dozens more injured.
Im starting to think that maybe they dont know what words mean.
If you answer yes to any of the questions below, youre a neo-Nazi.
Do you regularly tweet the 14 Words?
The 14 Words read, We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.
Its not exactly subtle as far as Nazi slogans go.
Lane was sentenced to 190 years and died in prison in 2007.
Baked Alaska loves to tweet the 14 Words.
He sends it toPresident Trumpand he makesvideos of it.
Lots of videosof it.

If you tweet the 14 Words youre a neo-Nazi.
Do you say Hitler did nothing wrong?
One of those things is that Hitler did nothing wrong.
But at some point youre no longer trolling and youre simply stating what you believe.
Millennial Matt has said Hitler did nothing wrong so many times that its become his catchphrase.
He says it on radio, in tweets, andin videos.

But what the hell does such a phrase mean?
Adolf Hitler systematically killed millions of Jews in concentration camps during the Holocaust.
Saying he did nothing wrong is an endorsement of those deaths.
Amazingly, Millennial Matt says that hes never advocated for violence against anyone.
In a weepyYouTube posthe whined that people were now threatening his life after he attended the rallies in Virginia.
Theres nothing funny about threatening peoples lives, he said.
Thats explicitly what Hitler did.
Its kind of what hes known for.
Thats kind of how this works.
If you say Hitler did nothing wrong, youre a neo-Nazi.
Have you attended a rally with people giving Hitler salutes?
But it only has one meaning since it was adopted by the Nazis in the 1930s.
It means youre a neo-Nazi.
And one of his most frightening videos came from Friday during the infamous tikitorchlight riot.
Baked Alaska shot video as his fellow marchers viciously assaulted non-violent counter protesters.
They can be seen in the video beating people with their torches.
The counter protestors later describedfearing for their lives.

If you attend a rally with people giving Hitler salutes, youre a neo-Nazi.
Do you shout hail victory while carrying a torch in public?
Did you see footage of people shouting hail victory at the rallies this weekend?
Its the English translation of sieg heil, the notorious Nazi slogan.
Baked Alaska shot video of himself saying just that.
They thought we werent going to stand up, Baked Alaska shoutsinto the camera.
Guess what, were standing up for our rights!
Were proud to be white!
You are proclaiming ‘Hail Victory!’
Thank you, love you guys.
If you shout hail victory while carrying a torch in public, youre a neo-Nazi.
Do you deny that the Holocaust happened?
Holocaust denial is pretty much textbook neo-Nazism.
And Millennial Matt peddles in it constantly.
At the52-minute markduring the livestream from Virginia, Millennial Matt encourages viewers to look into revisionist history.
The history that they teach you about the Holocaust is not factually accurate whatsoever, he says.
The truth is, the Holocaust is one of the biggest hoaxes in world history, he said.
Its one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated against the human race.
If you deny the Holocaust youre a neo-Nazi.
Do you believe Americas treatment of Nazis was worse than the Holocaust?

If you believe Americas treatment of Nazis was worse than the Holocaust youre a neo-Nazi.
Do you publish photos of Jewish people you disagree with in gas chambers?
Baked Alaska also enjoys publishing photoshopped photos of Jewish people he doesnt like in gas chambers.
President Trump is often depicted as the one administering the gas, dressed in Nazi regalia.
Baked Alaska was even temporarily banned for doing it, but insists hed do it all over again.
If you publish photos of Jewish people you disagree with in gas chambers youre a neo-Nazi.
Do you have a photo of Joseph Goebbels in your Twitter header?
Youre never going to guess what WWII-figure Millennial Matt has in his Twitter header.
Oh, and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke is also in there.
Ironically, no doubt.
If you have a photo of Joseph Goebbels in your Twitter header youre a neo-Nazi.
Have you marched with people who physically assault others because of their race?
Its brutal to watch.
https://twitter.com/embed/status/897311005419728897
Me and about five of my friends were out protesting.
We thought [the racists] left, but at one point they came back.
Harris is lucky to be alive.
But if youre marching with these people, this is what youre marching for.
If you march with people who physically assault others because of their race youre a neo-Nazi.
Do you want to hear the good news?
You dont have to be a neo-Nazi forever.
How do you stop being a neo-Nazi?
Just stop doing all of the things above.
You dont even have to join a new organization or donate to a nonprofit.
Just stop being filled with irrational hate for people that are slightly different than you.
Its really as simple as that.
Members of the alt-right have tried to rebrand their particular flavor of hate as new and stylish.
But its the same old Nazi shit.
If you do the thing above youre a neo-Nazi.
If you stop doing the things above you’ve got the option to stop being a neo-Nazi.
So give it a try!
I promise it wont hurt.
In fact, it might give you time to pursue things that are more fun.
Do you enjoy making memes?
Try making anti-Nazi memes.
Or you might forget about Nazism altogether.
Watch a movie, or build a tree fort, or go jerk off.
I promise that theyre all more fun than spreading the hatred of Nazism.
