You can’t make up the acronym. They’re telling you exactly who they are.

Pedophiles are trying to rebrand their evil to “Minor Attracted Persons”. We prefer “Mutilating A Pedophile” but that’s just us.

No, a neo-Nazi group would not be eligible for 501(c)(3) status.

Here's why:

* **Hate Speech and Discrimination:** The IRS specifically prohibits granting tax-exempt status to organizations that promote hate speech, discrimination, or violence. Neo-Nazi groups inherently espouse these harmful ideologies.
* **Public Benefit:** A core requirement for 501(c)(3) status is that the organization must operate for the benefit of the public. Promoting hate and violence directly contradicts this requirement.
* **Political Activity:** While 501(c)(3) organizations can engage in some lobbying, they are strictly prohibited from engaging in political campaign activity. Neo-Nazi groups often have political agendas and seek to influence elections.
* **Private Inurement:** The IRS prohibits the use of non-profit funds for the private benefit of insiders. Neo-Nazi groups often operate for the benefit of their own members and leaders, rather than the public good.

**The IRS has a clear policy against granting tax-exempt status to organizations that promote hate speech and violence.** Even if a neo-Nazi group attempted to disguise its true nature, the IRS would likely investigate and deny their application.

It's important to remember that the IRS's decision is just one aspect of the legal landscape. State and local laws may also prohibit or restrict the activities of hate groups, and they may face legal challenges from civil rights organizations and individuals.
