Relevance: The SPLC was instrumental in getting Reddit to quarantine us by declaring men's rights groups in general and TRP in particular a "hate group."

The GOP passed a resolution refuting the SPLC's legitimacy in identifying hate groups. The SPLC fired back by characterizing the resolution as "Caving to hate groups."

This is a breaking story so more will come out over the next several days. While it's in the news cycles, it's a good opportunity for TRPers to propagate facts about the SPLC to people who bring it up thinking it's a legit benevolent watchdog organization.
