User Julius Goat shared an image of neo-nazis brandishing burning torches at a Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a suspected neo-nazi mowed down protesters on Saturday.
He followed it with a series of powerful tweets skewering social inequality and exposing the reasons behind the white nationalist backlash.
His emotive words have struck a chord around the US and across the world after 30 people were injured and one killed in a car attack on anti-racism protesters at the rally.
The Twitter user goes on to list the other injustices that white, middle-class men have never suffered from the travel ban on Muslims to police violence against black people to historic efforts to prove non-white intellectual inferiority as well as church burnings and hangings.
Then he examined the “we will not be replaced” rallying cry of the white supremacist protesters…
Imagine if these people ever faced actual oppression.
