In 2017 American Nazis invaded Charlottesville, VA, which is a major U.S. city in case you didn't know. Maybe you remember this. They called themselves "Unite the Right." They wanted what Nazis want, and did what Nazis do, which was to kill.

the-reframe.com/americans-who-…
They also wore polo shirts and held tiki torches, and chanted Nazi chants; about blood and soil, and others predicated on the idea that the white race was being replaced by races that Nazis view as inferior.

Probably it is worth talking about what 'the white race" means.
"The white race" is a pretend thing that certain people made up in order to consolidate social and political power and wealth by organizing the application of brutality and violence.

Anyway the Nazis believed they were white, and this was very important to them.

Cargo ship Dali lost power and from there it was only a matter of time before it destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

We hadn't maintained the bridge for collisions of this type, we're learning. You'd think we would have—it's critical infrastructure.

the-reframe.com/blame-manageme…
But we're often the sort of place that fails to maintain what it has built; mostly because maintenance costs eat into tax revenues, and revenues could be used for tax cuts, and tax cuts help profits, and profits are very important, so collapses are just a thing that is coming.
But even if we had performed adequate maintenance, the bridge was probably doomed. Dali is the size and mass of a skyscraper (far larger than container ships used to be—but larger ships lower prices in supply chains, and lower prices help profits, and profits are important).

I'd like everybody to yell at me, so I wrote about the upcoming election.

Or, to put it more specifically, I wrote about what an anti-fascist coalition might look like and how it might fall apart, using the election as a context.

the-reframe.com/binaries-and-i…
We’re dealing with rising fascism both globally and domestically, as I might have mentioned once or twice recently—“domestically” for me meaning the United States, though maybe you find it is true in your part of the old cosmic blueball, too.
I think there are a lot of people who realize this and agree that it should be stopped, and that’s good for people who want to stop fascism’s rise—people who I am going to assume includes you, the reader of this. Isn’t that nice of me?

OK, let me tell you a joke. It’s a joke about context.

(One of the most popular topics for jokes, I know. I give the people what they want.)

Here’s the joke:

Say somebody gave a rally, and a lot of people came.

the-reframe.com/the-way-it-is/
Say that the person who was the focus of the rally was a politician, a man who had once been president of the United States, had stopped being president of the United States, and now was running to be president of the United States again.
Say the person was going to use the rally to talk about all the violence he thought should happen, and who he thought the violence ought to happen to. Say all the people who came to the rally came because they liked to cheer at suggestions of violence.

EVERY ACCUSATION A CONFESSION

At the U.S./Mexico border, Republicans are defending their right to make themselves feel safe by murdering refugee men, women, and children, using as rationale a once-fringe Nazi conspiracy theory they are promoting.

the-reframe.com/every-accusati…
They’re talking about a civil war in order to protect this "right." And yes, they’re framing it all as self-defense, as if they—the ones eager to murder both foreigners and fellow citizens—are the ones in danger, and the rest of us—who they are eager to murder—are the danger.
And yes, they’re also against antisemitism, they’ll tell you, whenever they aren’t promoting their Nazi conspiracy theory.

A Nazi conspiracy theory? Yes indeed.

Promoting ideas and actions in the name of some fine thing that you don’t believe in and might actually oppose is what is meant when someone says "bad faith."

For example say your name was Elise Stefanik, and you were for example a US Senator

Full essay: armoxon.substack.com/p/lose-the-deb…
Essay from The Reframe by AR Moxon Title: Lose the Debate Subtitle: Getting tactical. A taxonomy of bad faith, Part 1 - on the fascist refusal to occupy a shared reality.
Say also you belong to a political party whose leader is an open fascist who approvingly quotes Hitler in order to promote a conspiracy theory called ‘replacement’ that forms the undergirding bedrock of antisemitism, to better enact eliminationist brutality against refugees.
Now say that, in order to enact eliminationist brutality you find it useful to demolish and discredit things like awareness and knowledge and learning and the concept of knowable truth.
