1. Here's a thread about what history can teach us about the ways racial terrorists build sympathy and support for their movements by using distinctive, yet also seemingly innocuous language.
2. The present day examples are the NZ and SD murderers, whose manifestos were filled with statements that seem bland enough. "White genoc*de is bad." "It's ok to be wh*te." "Cultur*l Marxism is dangerous." etc.
3. It's easy to imagine a scenario in which a college student says one of these things in class. What should the prof do? Is this person signalling that they're a white nationalist? Or are they innocently repeating phrases they've heard in conservative media? Hard to say for sure
In a two and a half years we have gone from a place where diversity was celebrated, to a place where hatred, bigotry, racism rears up being nudged by a nutter in the WH. This is not okay. As a Jew, I weep for what happened in #SanDiego yesterday & in #Pittsburgh six months ago.
As an American, I cry for what happened in #Charlottesville in August 2017. As a woman, I shed tears for a Muslim Congresswoman targeted by POTUS* and that hate tweet remains @jack #JackStopTheHate
As a human being, my heart breaks for how POC are treated by this regime stocked with crooked good old boys. As a citizen, I can’t bear that children are in concentration camps in Florida, in Texas along the border. All this demonizing to play to a base of bigots shatters me.
