Family owned torch manufacturer Tiki Brand Products has distanced itself from the creepy white supremacist ceremony held during last weekend’s rally in Charlottesville, VA identical to a Ukrainian Neo-Nazi group’s.
“Tiki Brand is not associated in any way with the events that took place in Charlottesville and are deeply saddened and disappointed,” read a statement on the company’s Facebook page. “We do not support their message or the use of our products in this way. Our products are designed to enhance backyard gatherings and to help family and friends connect with each other at home in their yard.”
Many around the interwebs noted the irony of white supremacists using Asian-made, culturally Polynesian torches.
I like it when when racists march with tiki torches, in clothes & shoes made by Asians. You can hate us but you can't escape us boo 😉

Nothing says "Defending White Culture" like carrying a Tiki Torch. A polynesian cultural product to defend and assert white supremacy

When you think you're the master race but you can't figure out how to make your own damn torch. pic.twitter.com/vwSCQofDkm

The company received an outpouring of support over Facebook. “It’s saddening that you even have to make this statement,” one woman wrote. Another commenter said “Neo-Nazis always highjack [sic] good things and wreck them by association.”

We can’t let these faggots ruin Pépe
Or Tiki Torches
If I use these torches to enhance a backyard gathering or help me connect with family and friends, will my neighbors think I’m a white supremacist?
This shit had to be another paid-Soros type psyop, correct? What are the greater implications besides demonizing “the alt right,” and discrediting all the leaks, happenings and investigative journalism which stems from sites like 4chan?
Well this weekend was a disaster, but whites remain the only ethnic group in this country without a real political voice. That is a legitimate desire especially when all the other ethnic groups are so strongly represented politically. Nobody likes identity politics but they are a practical fact of life in a diverse society. I think this is all a reaction the cultural Marxist anti-white rhetoric that the Democrats and leftist have adopted in the last few years.
Interesting that the Police reported that the suspect driver at Charlottesville initially appeared to have acted out of fear rather than out of malice.
News is now emerging that the suspect has been treated for schizophrenia and was on psychotropics.
Also the FBI investigation of Charlottesville is focusing on communication points on the internet where Antifa has been active. They are seeking records of 1.3 million users of a California operation hosted by Dreamhost.com, as just one example. Dreamhost is fighting the request in the courts.
