Why has Nazi symbolism become more popular with American racists than traditional American racist symbols, like the confederate flag?
Racists have always existed in America, but the use of Nazi symbolism is a relatively new trend from what I observed. Historically, American racists would wave the confederate flag and/or burn a wooden cross while wearing a Klan robe. Nowadays they seem more likely to wave a swastika or do a Nazi salute. Why do you think this shift has happened?
