First of all, I LOVE THIS GUY.

I hope everyone sees this, and realizes that a southern accent isn’t synonymous with “impoverished bigoted conspiracy theorist that supports Trump.”
On a related note: the “haha poor people are dumb trash” takes are: 1) repulsive and 2) incorrect.

Not Betsy DeVos’ / the Kushners’ / the Mercers’. Not any of the quiet wealthy who sustain him.

Keep ignoring that, and you’re culpable for Capitol Siege: Part II. Image
An awful lot of the “good, anti-Trump liberal” crowd needs to do some hard self-reflection about getting us to this point.

I don’t mean “but calling them racist makes them racist.”

I mean: not facing how deep enabling goes among the rich, white, “civil discourse” elite.

Richard Spencer, Stephen Miller, and Steve Bannon would like a word. Image

A whole lot of you are about to find out about Christian Identity soon, and learn more than you ever wanted to know.

And that’s...

My hopeful outcome.
... ok so here goes my “religious propaganda” you requested:

Don’t be a literal ‘Nazi for Jesus.’

That sums the Christian Identity movement
PSA

Don’t tell me Christian Identity’s literal Jesus Nazis “cherry picked! They aren’t REAL Christians; Christianity preaches love.”

Do you think ISIS doesn’t cherry-pick the Quran, my guy (by the way, the Bible is a hell of a lot more violent)?

Mind the double standards.

If you’re interested in the Capitol events, you might want to read up on the sedition / conspiracy case against the Order in 1988.

Reagan’s DOJ was wholly uninterested in prosecuting white supremacist attacks until they started killing cops.

Just may be instructive.
The Order had ties to other white supremacist groups and leaders, including Louis Beam - who pioneered “leaderless resistance,” as well as “Tom Metzger,” who started advocating infiltration of establishments like police, law, and government in the early 1980s.

Ignored history.
This period in American history is forgotten, downplayed, and ignored - when it’s much more influential than you know.

David Duke, for example, of the Third Klan, is the Richard Spencer / alt-right’s predecessor in leveraging “articulateness” and charm for media.

Purposeful.

The Ayanna Pressley and AOC news has - somehow - made me reach an even more overwhelming level of all-encompassing, personal fury.

I very much need to log off to write student recs, apply for jobs, and find a space of calm.

So in the interim, here are things I think matter:
[Feel free to incorporate any ^^ info in your own work, analysts, media people & academic followers

I don't need credit, but if you're employed - I'm not.

It might help me get paid for the warnings I'm prescient about. I'd like to eat while doing this.]
[To be crystal clear, I don't mean patreon.

I meant I'm currently on the job market.

I care way more about the ideas circulating and people taking heed than credit, but I'm job hunting - so passing my name along for opportunities you see would be great.]

Just heard AOC’s livestream about white supremacists learning her location during the Capitol insurrection, and I’m shaking with rage.

Dear undisclosed parties: I hope you finally understand why I wasn’t “overreacting” with those warnings over a year ago.

Oops.
Logging off before I say something I regret.
Last night, AOC made the comment above.

Yesterday a Congresswoman told us her colleagues provided “reconnaissance tours” at the Capitol January 5.

And now we learn that before the attack - all the panic buttons were torn out of Ayanna Pressley’s office.

Some of you picked a real strange time to get interested in prison reform.
Jake Angeli finds out there’s no Whole Foods in prison and all of the sudden white folks have discovered the novel idea that prisons are crowded

#GentrifyPrison
Just WAIT until you learn about over-policing and what the "act" in Patriot Act meant.

Call your book club, Karen, because you are not going to be pleased!

Next up:

Our exclusive one-on-one with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on the vision behind his plans to replace the Iraqi and Syrian states with ISIS.

After the break, we’re back with the “dapper white nationalist” Richard Spencer to give us a fashion review of the Capitol insurrection’s attendees.’
Establishment media clearly learned nothing from the events of January 6.

Hollow mea culpas about platforming white supremacists like Richard Spencer are useless.

It’s actively laundering and enabling acceptance of white supremacy.
