please stop calling things a "new religion" when the term you're looking for is "social movement that i don't like." persuasion.community/p/john-mcwhort…

once again, what you're describing is a strawman social movement that you don't like, not a religion. thank you.

*grabs bullhorn* read another book!

(i'm not even bothering with conflating calvinism with catholicism here)

on second thought, maybe that subhed was actually accurate — after all, that "essay" (incoherent griping?) does come off as "nonsense posing as wisdom"

@MichaelEHayden

latest from me and @MichaelEHayden: research from
@MeganSquire0 shows that white nationalists, neo-Nazis and other extremists are cashing in on a youth-targeted video-streaming site, DLive. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020…

@MeganSquire0

.@MeganSquire0 tracked transactions of over 70 accounts associated with a number of different extremists. some of the top earners are well on their way to making over $100,000 on the site per year.

one of the top earners, white nationalist Nick Fuentes (who participated in the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally), recently said on his stream that he wanted "Roman salute" Trump. the gesture is also known as a Hitler salute.

@splinter_news

news, folks:

here's my latest (and first) for @splinter_news on how a small group of white nationalists used an email thread known as "morning hate" to push their movement's message through the conservative media and think tank sphere. splinternews.com/leaked-emails-…

@splinter_news

@splinter_news since the so-called alt-right's inception in 2008, it has focused on infiltrating institutions to push its message. paul gottfried, the man who co-created the term with richard spencer, argued this in his 2008 speech to the H.L. Mencken Club.

@splinter_news

@splinter_news over the past couple of years we've seen a number of white nationalists outed as employees at the daily caller. see, for instance, scott greer, who was the managing editor of radix journal. what we have here is more insight into how fascists used the platform for their message.
