There are people like this everywhere. It can be shocking but it is not rare. Much more rare than it used to be, thankfully. These people do not hide their hatred. What makes it hard is when media and politicians use these terms to smear people that they don't agree with. It gives a false impression as well as weakens the public's trust. It removes the power of these words.
We saw this in the presidential debate when Biden misrepresented Trump's often misquoted "very fine people" comment. It is easily debunked when you watch his comment in context but because people want to believe it, Biden has lied about this for the past 4 years. It really destroys credibility.
I live in a very progressive state but I can recall my dad telling me a KKK group was camping in the mountains near us. I'd rather know who these people are. Let them tell us. That's why I prefer Nostr over centrally moderated platforms like Twitter. Then I can see what people really think.

Anyone else think there's a decent chance this is somehow staged, or a false flag?
I think there's a good possibility.

False flags happen so it's possible. Groups that hate/oppose other people exist though too. I just really don't want some shit to happen at this conference.

No, Nashville and the surrounding region have Nazi leaning sympathies. It isn't really a new trend.

Both can be true. Likely is.

What I'm telling you is that it isn't a false flag for the region. If anything, its visibility on what is/has been for years. Now, whether that hatred is trying to be used for some other purpose, that's another discussion.

Oh. Well, Downtown Nashville has a literal replica of the Parthenon and not far away is Memphis. The "Memphis Mafia" and recording industry there are widely networked with not especially understanding sorts of people.

Is there any way to tell?

I wish I could find that photo from a couple years back. It was from somewhere in the southeast (was it perhaps Nashville? can't remember), and showed a huge purported Nazi group, all marching in synch, all white, all about the same height, in tan pants, white polo shirts, red caps, all with masks on. Something like that.
It got a lot of coverage in alternative media as an obvious false flag, and really seemed like it to me.
Anyone remember this? Can you find the photo? I don't even know how to start searching for something like this.

Found it! It's the patriot front group (supposedly). It was WIDELY reported in alternative media (Joe Rogan, etc.) that it was probably a false flag.

For a brief moment I thought this was going to be a Bitcoin Conference FUD article.
These crazy "crypto" people took over our city. They are all white and male and keep talking about freedom.
