Every single name on their membership list will get a going over and see if there is data that moves them higher on the person of interest list. Ignoring that is just ignoring the reality of how investigations are done. Just like any ####### with an account on Stormfront was considered a racist white nationalist until proven otherwise, #######s who flocked to Parler will be lumped in the same way with those who partook in sedition against the United States. Parler is a treasure trove of evidence and the authorities will exhaust it before clearing anyone. The spider web there is going to lead some very interesting directions.

I actually browsed Stormfront before. I fell through a rabbit hole and came across it. It was filled with the most vile and disgusting things you could imagine. It was fascinating on an academic level to get a glimpse into that world, so I wouldn't fault someone for just looking to see just how bad it was.
The weird thing about it though, is there was a fair number of people that posted there who had dissenting opinions and signed up to express them. Not a high enough number to the point that the general idea of the type of people who posted there is different than what you would think, but there were some. I remember one guy who identified as black was praised by other members for having the courage to sign up to post in what he knew would not be a safe place for him.
There was also quite a bit of infighting between different white supremecist groups, which was one of the weirder things I learned. There were some people who were hardcore Hitler supporting Nazis and then those who felt Hitler was a race traitor for classifying other white people as lesser people than Aryans. There were others who thought all races were equal, but were just against racial mixing. They supported ideas that you could probably describe as segregation where races form nations within a nation. Just from my limited viewing, it seemed like some of them hated each other as much as they did non-whites. They even used to argue how white you have to be to be white.
