As white nationalist protests prompted a surge of violence in Charlottesville, Virginia this weekend, two separate conversations emerged online. For many, the events marked a tragedy, punctuated by an attack on counterprotesters that caused one death and the injury of 19 others. 

For others, particularly in far-right and neo-Nazi communities, the violence was something to be made light of, or worse, celebrated. And those conversations found homes across social communities, especially on Facebook and Reddit.
