An important, scary-true, and even entertaining read. Real examples of how we progressives are enabling the right — “Stop Letting Right Wing Con Artists Make the Rules — An Open Letter to Democrats, Social Media …” by @upine medium.com/@upine/stop-le…
“Trump’s election has pulled back the curtain to revealed a lot of our shortcomings as a nation. One of them is that Americans are extremely naïve about con artists and propagandists.” ...
“Our society is full of con artists. Why? Because such people thrive in an inadequately regulated capitalist environment.” — @upine

Dear @davidhogg111,

You have become a recognized leader in an important social movement at an incredibly important moment in time.

Such a vaulted position brings with it great opportunity, but it also brings real responsibility.

Leaders have good days and bad days.

1/
Today has been a terrible day for you. Terrible because you've allowed, and from what I have gathered from looking at your timeline a bit ago, are continuing to allow your own pride to step all over your message, your goals, and your personal integrity.

2/
Have you ever watched someone self-immolate via social media? A moment when a person seems to close their ears and minds and doubles down on an expressed opinion even after being told by many, many others that the opinion is wrong or dangerous or based on incorrect data?

1) I’m amused to see @JonahNRO scrambling for higher ground amid the insane tide of nutjob conspiracism that has overtaken the Right in the age of Trump. Amused, because Goldberg had no small role in conjuring up that tide, and still does. Thread follows.

2) In addition to his role as editor of National Review’s online presence, Goldberg also has been living, ideologically speaking, from his book written a decade ago, ‘Liberal Fascism.’ I had a brief to-and-fro with him regarding its veracity at the time:

3) I also organized a group of historians who actually specialize in fascism and put their essays together in a project at History News Network, to which Goldberg also responded (see links to all pieces at bottom of this intro):

NO THEY WON'T STOP USING ALL CAPS
Look, I am not about to join the NRA or even begin to use the arguments of the Nazi-adjacent gun-loving Right Wing

But y'all need to get it together and learn what you're panicking about.
You should be panicking less about 3D printed shitty gun components and panicking more that real guns are dirt cheap and Nazis own a fucking lot of them and killed 100+ people last year.

Why does Twitter deliberately target Right-wing accounts for Shadow-banning and why it will sooner rather than later completely back-fire and why they are ultimately going to destroy the Left and what a great day that will be. Thread. 1/15
It is no surprise Twitter targets accounts for “wrong think” or as we on the #Right like to call it “free-think” this is because of two events which are now totally and utterly inextricably linked, #Brexit and #Trump and the Establishment have been rocked to the core. 2/15
Neither of which were supposed to happen & yet they did now the Establishment is determined never to allow it to happen again or even at all, the reason for them happening was nothing to do with social media, but was to do with people knocking on doors and persuading others. 3/15

Brexit seems to have run completely into a wall. This will be a thread on how to leave the European Union.

It's written by someone who thinks the idea is ludicrous so before you attack me leavers, instead think how objective that makes me, and how honest I'll be on the issues.
There are a number of significant hurdles associated with leaving the EU so we'll move away from the politics and divide them into bite sized chunks that everyone can understand.

When we've done that we'll look at what we have at the end and decide how we approach it now.
There are some principles to establish. The thread won't indulge in revising history. When you're in a 40 year relationship, signing article 50 without a plan was clearly an act of extreme stupidity. But sign it we did. So we build from where we are now, not where we should be.
