A year after the deadly "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va., white nationalist groups are treading cautiously into the anniversary weekend.
The violence in Charlottesville sparked damaging lawsuits against the organizers and a crackdown from tech companies that's complicated recruitment and fundraising efforts, splintering the movement just as it's trying to show solidarity heading into Sunday's "Unite the Right 2" demonstration in Washington.
Jason Kessler, a lead organizer of both events, is discouraging participation by the more hard-core elements of the white supremacist movement, and some are happy to sit this one out.
These post-Charlottesville marches have no purpose, other than to make anyone who supports white self-determination look like a fringe lunatic, Andrew Anglin, publisher of the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website, wrote this month in a blog post disavowing Sundays rally. We do not want the image of being a bunch of weird losers who march around like assholes while completely outnumbered and get mocked by the entire planet.

One of the most high-profile neo-Nazi groups in the country, the Traditionalist Worker Party, is completely disintegrating in the wake of a truly humiliating, somewhat incestuous sex scandal involving its founder and Charlottesville rally organizer Matthew Heimbach and his spokesperson and web administrator, David Parrott.
On Tuesday, the Southern Poverty Law Center shed some light on the circumstances behind Heimbachs arrest this week for alleged battery, intimidation, strangulation, and domestic battery committed in the physical presence of a child, all in the southern Indiana trailer park where the Heimbach and Parrott families both apparently lived. Apparently, Heimbach had been sleeping with Parrotts wife Jessica Parrott, though they claimed the affair was now over. According to police reports obtained by the SPLC, Parrott said he set up a sort of sting to determine whether the cheating had in fact ceased.
This ill-advised plot involved Parrott spying on his wife and Heimbach meeting in the Parrotts trailer at midnight from atop a box, which was apparently unsuitable for his overall mass and promptly broke. Parrott told police that a confrontation ensued in which his wife and Heimbach assaulted him, with Heimbach choking him unconscious at least twice. Brooke Heimbach (Heimbachs spouse) also said that Heimbach attacked her during the incident.
Making this weird neo-Nazi sex and abuse scandal all the more disturbing, Parrott is Brooke Heimbachs stepfather from a previous marriage, meaning this all involves legal relatives. Additionally, Parrott was an outspoken detractor of cuckolds, a group he now seems to have involuntarily joined. All four Heimbachs and Parrotts involved told the cops their profession was white nationalist, which really just speaks volumes for the whole movement.
In any case, what happened next was a lesson in not pissing off your webmaster. Parrott quit the party, telling the Daily Beast on Wednesday that the situation had become a white trash circus, and proceeded to wipe the TWPs online presence and membership archives clean:
