While demonization is a rampant problem, this article is a far cry from demonization. This is a reasonable criticism of something stupendously terrible.
I can't discuss these ideas with someone when the article contains statements like the above. It's her opinion that these men are secretly white supremacists.
Anyway, those supposed pillars are a smokescreen - they are hauled out and paraded around to gather folks to the cause. Can't think the article is very useful if they didn't know about that.
