The New York Times is running news stories about recent neo-nazi demonstration and arrests in Nashville.

Assuming it's not a coincidence that the Bitcoin conference (including Trump and maybe Musk) is going to be in Nashville this week - and yes this is an assumption I'm making for the sake of this exploration - which of the following seems most likely? ("Some parts of all of them" is a perfectly valid answer)

- neo Nazis feel that this (BTC conference week) is a good environment for them

- NYT is doing some pre-astroturfing so that they can connect Bitcoin/freedom tech to Nazis and the far right

- mostly a coincidence

And before you go twisting my words, I'm NOT saying the neo-nazi activity was unconcerning or overblown or something. But I am speculating on which parties invovled here are leveraging the Nashville context for their own narrative goals. Harming Bitcoin and Nostr in the process, naturally.
