The alt-right, white nationalist, fascist Nazis are outing themselves.

The demonstration in Charlottesville, VA, that ended with the death of one person and the injuries of many has started a new trend. People are identifying those who participated in their tan khakis and white polo shirts, the apparent uniform of these cretins as they follow the lead of Donald Trump.

On Twitter and other social media outlets, people are attaching names to the faces of hatred seen in countless photos of these radical terrorists, mostly younger men, and posting those names publicly. That has resulted, so far, in at least one participant from California being fired from his job.

As this develops, more and more of those faces will be associated with the names of the people expressing hatred in those photos and more and more will suffer the consequences of their open rage and intolerance. This is a good thing. People may learn that open expression of views that are loathed by most people can lead to real consequences.

The reality is that most of the people participating are known by associates, co-workers, fellow students and others who will be surprised to learn what evil lurks in their brains. Once recognized, many people who know the person will be glad to identify that person in social media. This is how such movements end, with shame and the impact of shunning on their lives.
